SELLING AGENCY
SUGGESTION IS
TODAY
In Program Made
Known With Opening
Of House Debate on
Emergency Legislation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.
Definite abandonment of
President Harding's proposal
to congress for a federal coal
agency. with capital to buy.
sell and distribute coal was
announced to the house today by
Chairman winslow Of the interstate
commerce committee at the beginning
Of a debate on n bill to create machin-
cry to supervise distribution only.
The change in plans. Mr.. winslow
said. had been aequiesced in by the
president. whose suggestion for a pur-
chasing and selling agency had been
thrust Into the background Of con-
gr%essional consideration almost as soon
MS It was submitted. 20
Quoting the recommendation as CON
tanned in the presidents address to
congress on the rail and coal situation
the committee chairman said In his
report on the distribution problem:
Since the utterance of the fore
going situation by the president and
his advisers. including members OF
the voluntary committee appointed BY
the president, and those also who have
been advised and assisted in the prep
aration Of this bill. have determined
and agreed that the possible plan suE-
gested by the president could be well
set aside and another method followed
In working out tho problem.
The president is in accord with this
conclusion. This biil is the outgrowth
Of such determination and as such
has been considered and reported IA
vorably by the Interstate commercs
commission"
