EXECUTIVE DOES
 NOT STATE VIEWS
 ON FORD PROPOSAL
Democrats Will Leave Lead- ership in Hands of Repub- lican Advocates of the
 Detroit Mans Offer
 By Associated Press

Washington, June 12.--Presf-
 dent Harding is understood to
 have taken n determined stand
 aREnnst action by Congress mt
 this time on pending bills for
 disposal of the governments ni-
 trnte plant at Muscle Shoals
 AIa.
 The views of the President as
 outlined, 1t was stated. to Repr~-
 sentative MondelI, Wyoming. the
 republican leader mt the White
 house, were conveyed to the re-
 publican steering committee
 charged with the task of fram-
 ing the legislative program of
 the House. Members of the com
 Inittee declined to indicate
 whether they would recommend
 action or let the whole question
 go over until the December ses-
 sion.
 There was no intimation nS to
 how the President regards the
 proposal Of Henry Ford for lease
 of the property beyond the stnte-
 ment that he felt the matter was
 too big to be hurriedIy cone
 sidcred. and in what members
 regarded ns the closing period
 of the present Congress.
 Washington, June 12.-(Special.) Democrats in the House who arc ad- the acceptance of the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals con- cluded tonight to leave to pro-Ford the task for securing early action on this important south ern subject.
 They agreed that if success is to be scored It must result from repub- lican leadership as democratic ag- grossion would Inspire belief on tho part of some that the issue was poli- ticai.
 It Is the understanding that con- siderable republican element, despite the antipathy of republicans to southern developments at govern ment expense. and their antipathy to Ford. the individual, are amenable to the American Farm Bureau fede- ration. That organization is already pfodding the republicans, and remind- Ing them that in thls election year, when republican prospects are not too goods tha farmers willis certaAnt ' exert themselves to defeat their enc mics at the polls.
 The pro-Ford republicans, It Is un- derstood. have already undertaken to secure from the rules committee q rule giving preference to the Mus cle Shoals proposition Unless such rule is obtained, it Is regarded as doubtful that Muscle Shoals parti- sans could make headway against the republican machine. The democrats who are actively behind the pro Ford republicans are representatives of all southern states. The solid southern vote will be cast for Ford. There will not be single defection, 1t Is indicated.
