FORD WILL REFUSE
MODEL PROPOSAL
. FOR MUSCLE SHOALS
Still Stands Upon Original
Bid With Exception of Ger
tain Changes in Minor
Details

DEARBORN, Mich, May 81
Henry Ford will not agree to the
separation Of the Gorgas steam pow
er plant from the general Muscle
Shoals project, as was suggested by
the house military affairs commit
tee, late last week in their model
offer" which it presented to Mr..
Ford as basis for a new bid.
In a few crisp sentences Mr.. Ford
called for a showdown on the part
OF the committee. He asked for the
immediate presentation of his prop
osition to congress for acceptance or
rejection. He called the attention OF
the committee. it is reliably report
ed, to the fact that his proposition
has been before congress since July
s. 1921, and that it is high time now
that steps be taken to bring the mat
ter to a final issue.
Basis of First Bid
In his brief letter, accompanying
the final proposition" Mr.. Ford
it is said, made it clear that he re
garded the Gorgas steam power
plant as an essential portion Of tho
Muscle Shoals project. His original
bid, upon which he still stands with
the exception of certain minor mod
flied details, was based upon the in
clusion of the Gorgas plant, and
nothing has been presented since
that time to cause him to change his
attitude.
The reply Of Mr.. Ford to the re-
quest Of the house military affairs
committee for new bids based along
the lines of their "model Offer was
speeding to Washington today in
the possession Of w. B. Mayo, chief
engineer of the Ford Motor Co., and
j. w. Worthington, of the Tennes-
see River Improvement association.
The two men will present it to the
committee on Thursday at 1890 a
m. Mr.. Ford, in company with Mr.
Mayo, Worthington and E. G. Lie
bold, general secretary to Mr.. Ford
spent a large part of their mem 1ria'
day holiday drafting the final de-
tails of the Ford proposition.
Early today it was announced the
contents of the reply would not be
made public until Mr.. Mayo first
had reported to the military affairs
committee.
VIII Make No Changes
With the exception of the rejec-
ton Of the committees proposal re-
garding the. elimination of the Cor
gas steam power plant, however, the
last Ford proposal followed the lines
Of the model offer" outlined by
the committee very closely. In
many particulars. it is said, the
Ford engineers have accepted the
committees suggestions exactly as
they stood. In a few places certain
amendments and notifications have
been inserted.
Mr.. Ford. it is stated, made it
clear that he would make no other
changes or bids. If the committee
sees fit to recommend his PROPOSE.
ton and congress agrees to it. he
will take over the job at once. II
the committee cannot recommend it,
he desires an immediate report to
the house. If a better proposition
than his is presented, he declared,
it is said, that he will support it..
| If not, and congress cannot agree
to his plan, he proposed that the
government Immediately take the
project over and operate it as a
government proposition.

SENATE COMMITTEE
ADOPTSM' CUMBER
SOLDIER BONUS BILL
Leaders Serve Notice of OPP
posing DiSpIacing Tariff
for Immediate Considera-
ton of Measure

WASHINGTON, May 51.-The
commonly known McCumber soldier
bonus plan was ordered favorably
reported today by the senate finance
committee. The vote was 9 to 4.
The effective date Of the bill was
changed, however, from next Octo-
Der 1 to January /, 1928, after Sena-
tor Walsh, Democrat, Massachu-
sets, told the majority that it would
take six months to get the bonus
machinery in operation.
The Smoot plan, providing for
paid-up life insurance in lieu of all
other forms of compensation, was de-
feated by a vote of 8 to 5, the three
Democrats present-Simmons, Walsh
and Gerry-voting against it. Re-
publicans supporting the Snaoot pro-
proposal were Senators Smoot, Nc
Lean, Frelinguysen, Calder and Dill
bingham. Republicans voting against
it were McCumber, Curtis, Watson,
sutherland and Lar OlleLLe.
Tie Is Broken
Senator Mclean broke the tie
which has existed among the Re-
publican members on the vote to re-
port the McCumber plan, which is
the house bill with some amendments
including eliminating Of the land set
tlement or reclamation project.
Several Of the majority members OF
the committee gave notice to Chair
man McCumber that they would OPP
pose laying aside the tariff. bill for
senate consideration Of the bonus
at any time in the near future.
Chairman McCumber replied that he
intended to get as prompt consid-
GRAFTON of the bonus bill as could
be worked out, but did not state
whether the tariff measure would be
laid aside. It was reported that the
Republican leaders hoped to work
out some plan by which the bonus
measure could be expedited without
delaying seriously the tariff bill.
Senator Simmons, ranking Demo
cratic member, announced on behalf
Of the three Democrats present that
they voted to report out the Nc
Cumber bill only to get action promp-
thy and not because they favored
the measure. The Democratic lead
err expressed the belief that the Nc
Cumber bill would be of little bene-
fit to the former service men and
said the minority reserved the right to
offer a substitute bill in the senate,
or an amendment to the McCmber
plan.
Forfeiture Clause
The committee, before approving
the ,McCumber plan, eliminated the
forfeiture provision as contained in
the house measure, under which vet
Grams failing to pay loans to banks
or to the government would have
forfeited their adjusted service GER
tificates. In such cases the secre-
tary of the treasury would restore
the certificates to the veterans in
whose name it was issued at any
time prior to it's maturity upon re-
ceipt from him of the amount paid
by the government to the bank plus
interest at the rate of 4 IL per cent
compounded annually.
Under another amedment approved
by the committee veterans could
make application for adjusted serv-
ice compensation at any time after
the passage of the law. The house
measure would have limited the time
to July i, 1923.
