declared that II the farmers were
properly apprised of the terms of the
Ford offer they would rise en- masse
against II. He added that IL Muscle
Shoals enterprises were eventually
doomed it would be because of the
insistence OF the Ford advocates
that the government property in
north Alabama be turned over to the
Detroit manufacturer.
Senator Heflin declared that the
interests" which are fighting to pre-
vent Ford competing with them
would likewise fight to prevent the
government competing with them,
and for that reason he predicted the
defeat of all bills which would put
the government In charge of the OPP
erations. He declared that certainly
in the next Congress a majority of
both houses would favor the Ford
offer.
Senator Norris took sharp issue
with that prediction, and thus fol-
lowed the challenge, in effect, to
death struggle.

NAVY ANNOUNCES

TWO j. 8. FLEETS
Admiral Jones Placed in Su-
preme Command of the Sea
Forces of America-No
Changein Personnel
BY Associated Press

Washington, December Com
solidation of the Atlantic and Pa
ciflc fleets into the United States
fleet" with Admiral H. P. Jones in
supreme command, and vice Admiral
f. w. Elberle as commander in chief
of the battle fleet" unit was an
nounced tonight by the navy depart
ment. The reorganization. the de-
partment said. involved no change in
any present assignment of ships or
navy personnel, but was chiefly for
the purpose of affecting a peace
time organization that could be
carried into a war emergency with
out change.
Under the new plan, the United
States fleet will consist of the battle
fleet, composed of the main fighting
strength of the navy prepared to en-
gage an enemy fleet; the scouting
fleet, the duty of which would be to
locate the enemy preparatory to en-
gagement of the battle fleet, the
control force, organized to exercise
control of the sea after this had
been obtained by action of the battle
fleet, and the fleet base force, in
tended to support the operations OF
the fighting forces.
The whole organization for pur-
poses of administration in peace or
war would be under command of a
single officer with the rank of ad-
miral. no matter how far scattered
its elements might be.
Admiral Jones, now commanding
the Atlantic fleet, is the first to
command the United States fleet.
while Admiral Eberle, now COM
manding the Pacific fleet, takes the
rank of vice admiral and command
of the battle fleet.

AUBURN'S REMOVAL TO.
MONTGOM ERY OPPOSED
AT OPELIKA MEETING.

OpeliSa, Ala, December 7.-(Spe-
cial.)-The famous football team and
Coach Mike Donahue and his assist
ant coaches, Pitts, Wilson and HUT
sci, were entertained here today by
the local Kiwanis club at the Clement
hotel. The speech of welcome was
made by Kiwanis ]. A. Walker and
was responded to by Mike Donahiie.
Touching on the question of NOV
Ing Auburn to Montgomery, he said
It was i'll advised at this time, COM
ing as 1t does in the midst of mil
lion dollar drive and on the eve of
the meeting of the legislature, but
that the worst feature is creating
a feeling Of pessimism among the
Auburn alumni.
The following resolution was read
and adopted:
Resolved, that tho Opellka XII
wants club is unqualifiedly opposed
to the recent suggestion that the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute be
moved from Auburn to Montgomery,
as against the best interest OF the
Institution. That Auburn is loved
by the common people of Alabama
as the poor boys college, that the
great cost of living in or near a
city would deprive the college OF its
great mission of educating Ala
bama's youth of limited means. That
the pledges made by the friends and
alumni of Auburn to the Greater
Auburn campaign" were made for
buildings for Auburn, at Auburn, and
to use such funds for other purposes
would be a breach of faith.
That the high plains of the Pied
mont section of our state and the ad-
vantages of the small, but cultured
town of Auburn, have proved peculi-
arly adopted to the genius of this
great institution and that amidst the
lowlands of the state and he many
diversions of city the incompar-
able spirit of the institution must
surely die"
Governor Conner Opposes Move
A telegram from former Gov.
B. B. Conner was read advising
against removal of Auburn to Mont
gomery Governor Conner said 1t Is
not where a school is located but
what a school is and what a school
does. He spoke of health conditions
as a first requisite. The former
Governor asked: why tear down
when there is every demand for more
buildings?" He added that there is
nothing more dangerous than to up
root the sacred ties of the home
site. lie closed his telegram with an
Injunction: "Woodman spare that
tree"
The consensus of opinion at the
meeting, featured by several ringing
speeches, was that concerted action
on the part of Auburn's friends was
necessary to defeat the motive CT
Montgomery in seeking Auburn's re-
moval to that city, which motive
was characterized by speakers as
being more or less selfish.
