FINAL ACTION ON MUSCLE SHOALS
 TAKENUP TODAY
Senate Committee Expected to Make at Least Two Re- ports on Offers
 for Plants
Fly HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, Tho Age-HeraId 500 Dnyln0u HuiIdinC

Washington, July 5.-(Special.) The Senate committee on agriculture will begin tomorrow the preparation of its report or reports on the sub ject of the final disposition of the government's properties at Muscle Shoals. It is certain that there will be two reports. Chairman of com mittee, Senator George w. Norris of Nebraska, will sponsor one providing for continued government ownership and government operation. It is re- garded as probable that at least a third of the membership of the com mittee will indorse the Norris re- port. It is equally certain that dem ocratic members of the committee, with the possible exception of Sena- tor Kendrick of Wyoming, will ren- der another report.
 Senator Harrison of Mississippi stated this afternoon that he and his colleagues would formally urge the Congress, to accept the Ford offer as it was originally prepared. Those senators would give Ford the Gorgas steam plant, owned jointly by the goyernm snt and the Alabama {. located at the shoals
 Third Report
 It is regarded as entirely possible that third report will be submitted by senators who would accept tho Ford offers provided he would elimi- nate Gorgas. Possibly a fourth re- port will be submitted by senators unable to see any merit whatsoever in the Ford offer. Tn other words, the indications are that the Senate committee will be as singular in it's Inability to agree as was the House on military affairs. This would result In the tossing of the Muscle Shoals problem into the Sem ate practically without recommends ton.
 Senator Norris has prepared his re- port. It will consist of two parts.

GOVERNMENT MUST
 DEFEND SUITS ON FOREIGN PATENI IS
Demand of Harding Upon Chemical Foundation Was First Move on Part of
 Administration
Fly Associated Press

Washington, July b.-The move of the administration to recover from the Chemical Foundation, Inc, all alien enemy patents purchased by that organization in 1919 from the then alien property custodian, Fran cis P. Garvan, was declared in off, ficial circles today to be logical step on the part of the government to defend suits brought against it to recovered royalties collected from the licensing of those patents.
 It was said thaere are more than GO suits already pending against the treasurer of the United States to re- cover royalties which have accrued as result of licenses issued by the federal trade commission under an thorlty of the trading with the en- emy act.
 Alien Property Custodian Thomi.s w. Miller announced today he would make formal demand this week on the Chemical Foundation for the re- turn of the patents In conformity with President Harding's instruc- tions. Tn the event of refusal Mr. Miller said. a suit in equity imme- diately would be filled in the su- preme court of the District of Co- lumbia. He declined, to disclose she basis of such a suit. or to discuss the causes which led to the move at this time to recover the patents. He denied, however, that politics was involved,

Settlement Hinges on Outcome of Meeting Between Hard- ing and Both Parties
 Monday
By Associated Press

Washington, July b.--While settle- ment of the bltuminous coal strike appearedI tonight to hinge on the meeting the operators and miners are expected to have with President Harding next Monday. another con ference of the parties to the anthra- cite situation will be held tomorrow.
 It was expected that Secretary Fall would again meet with the miners union officials and mine owners rep resentatiyes but the impression was that tho session might be inconclu- Rive with the result that any action would be held up pending the out come of the bituminous sessions
 Though neither bituminous opera tors nor the officials of the miners union assembled had power to make hinding decisions for their assocl- atas. the anthracite conference. as summoned by President Harding con- stituted actually joint wage ne- gotiating group.
 s. D. Warrlner. chairman of the general committed of anthracite operators and Phillip Murray. Vice president Of the United Mine Work CTS or Amerfca, ied the respective delegations which met Saturday em- powered 10 make wage settfement. and are expected to do so again to- morrow. All indications preliminary to the meetings were that the union contingent would offer to negotiate a new wage contract on the general basis of scales existing March 3l. while the operators, asking reduc- nf n rL ton at the hands of President Hard ing. as means of settling differ ences.
 The bituminons conferees ad- journed until Monday. have merely powers to suggest action to their associates in the mining districts and the unions, and so far have definitely failed to agree on anything for the purpose.

DISARMAMENT OF NATIONS GOAL IF

Definite Peace Program Will Be Submitted to League of
 Nations at September
 Meeting
Ry Assoc1ated Prnsa

Paris. July 5.-world disarmament was declared by Lord Robert Cecil to have been brought definitely nearer today by the action of a sub committee of the temporary mixed commission on disarmament of the League of Nations in approving his plan for armament reduction. The measure provides for general re- duction of air and land forces, un- der the supervision of the League of Nations. as well as for continental ailegiances against aggression.
 The subcommittee formally ap- proved Lord Roberts plan and sent it back to the full commission. It Is taken for granted that the com mission will ratify the rccommenda- ton in its final session tomorrow.
 The full commission yesterday ap- proved the British plan for extend ing the Washington naval accord to all nations. Thus. the league as- sembly. at it's September meeting, will have 1t a definite program for world reduction in armies and nayies.
 During todays discussion of land disarmament a French delegate said his government would want very definite provisions in the agreement so 1t would be known exactly what the country could depend upon in case of another war. The Japanese member of the subcommission ap- proved the general terms of the plan but declared he did not believe al- dances should be limited to conti- nents.
 Lord Robert Cecil explained that no one would be barred from aiding a country which had been attacked but the continental agreement sim ply limited the obligations of each country. All countries would be free to enter a defensive war if they wished.

UNDERWOOD LEADS DE BATE AGAINST INVOKING CLOTURE
Alabama Senator Claims Re- publicans Would Gag De- bate on Tariff Bill--Will
 Take Vote Tomorrow
By Associated Press

Washington, July 5.-The republi- can position for cloture to shut off debate on the administration tariff bill, was presented late today in the Senate. It immediately provoked a bitter fight, which promised to con- sume much of the session tomorrow Under the rules the issue must come to vote at noon Friday.
 There were 52 signatures to the petition. or 12 less than the two thirds majority necessary to invoke the existing cioture rule. which would limit debate on the oliT to one hour for each senator and preclude the offering of any additional amend ments. even by the finance committee majority.
 Although a number of senators are absent from Washington which would cut down the number necessary for a two-thirds majority, some of those behind the cloture movement doubted that 1t would succeed. Senator Lodge, the republican leader. told the Senate tnat if it did not it then would be for tho republicans to decide whether they would lay aside the tariff and fight for majority cloture rule. or force the Senate to resume ninht ses- sions as means of speeding up a final vote on the tariff.
 Fight Fall to Sign
 All except eight of tho 60 repub- licans in the Senate signed the pe- tition. Those eight were: Lafollette. Norris, Johnson. Moses. Borah. Bran degee. Crow and Weller. Immediately the petition was presented by Chair man McCumber of the finance com mittee. 1t brought protest from Sena- tor Underwood of Alabama, the democratic leader. who said the demo- crats had "courteously consented 10 the committees request that it's amendments be considered first and that 1t was not falr for the ma jority to come in now and take away from the minority their right to pro- pose amendments. He said every item in the bill was of interest to some business concern of the country; that practically all of them were of interest 10 the consumers and that the majority should propose some rule which would meet the situation and not merely gag rule.
 The idea of discussing 1,003 amendments in 60 minntes," he ex- claimed, ~Gentlemen on the other side had better suggest that we have no further debate"

Carlowville, July Following statement by Bishop c. M. Beckwith, in which he relinquished all control and authority in the Protestant Epis- copal diocese of Alabama, the diocesan council in session here to- night elected Rev. W. G. Mcdowell, IT,, of Auburn, Ala, bishop coadjutor. Under the statement of the bishop, the bishop coadjutor will have full authority end will perform all the duties of the bishop in the diocese. Bishep BeclSwith In his statement retained only the title of bishop with certain minor duties to be decided on between himself and the bishop CO., adjutor. Mir. Mcdowell was elected on the second ballot. On the first ballot he received the solid laity vote of 332, clergy vote of 2s, with five votes scattered among three other candidates. Ills election on the sec- ond ballot was unanimous.
 The council voted to increase all assemblies 20 per cent to take care of increased expenses. The council will adjurn Thursday morning.
 Bishop Beckwith's address delivered just after the council reconvened after a picnic dinner served the 200 or more delegates and visitors by the hospitable people of Carlowville came at the high point of the meeting and cleared the air of the uncertainty which had existed over what course would be pursued.
 In his address, delivered with
 dignity nnd sincerity to an in-
 tensely interested congregation,
 Bishop Deckwith saidi "I was
 elected your bishop without my
 knowledge and I have tried to be
 your bishop without respect to
 my personal interests. In the
 same spirit and viewing the mat

 thereto my element of authority in the conduct of diOcesan af- fairs."
