 Four months and 13 days later, he said, the power company had plans under way for the construction of Mitchell dam.
 A number of lantern slides were shown by MT. Martin of the Gorgas steam plant both before and after the addition had been -dded by the government. Slides of the high ten- sion transmission linep to Muscle. Shoals were also exhibited.
 Joseph P. Mudd declared that the project at Muscle Shoals on which the government spent sS5,0Oo, 900 was considered so much jul - until Ford, made his offer. The power company SC said. did not show a. semblance ofS interest in the property until Ford made his bid.
 He quoted the Manufacturersf Rec~. ord as saying that the power com.l pany was closely interlocked with tn al Virginia Ca rolina Chemical compa n ys.9 the Southern Power company of thaa Carolinas and the American Cyna-.a mid ecompany and that if Muscles, Shoals was turned over to the powers company 1t would be in the hands of' an unparalleled monopoly.
 Although the Alabama Power corrs-. pany is arguing the sancttty of con--l tract. MT. Mudd said he had thol names of at least a half dozen fndus--l trial concerns in the state with which the company has broken contracts for the supply of power and increased. the cost per unit of such power.
 He argued that there was no fer. tilizer contract in the power conn-s pany bid except that 1t agreed to- furnish a secondary 100000 horse. power to the government to be used. if desired. to manufacture fertiHzer. He said that the joker in this war that the second 100000 horsepower-s might and might not be produced.
 Tho resolution to indorse the Ford bid was passed without much argu- ment after the amendment to con- demn the bid of the power company was voted down.

SIX WAYS GIVEN FOR
 SELLING ALABAMA

Members of the Birmingham Real Estate board were told of six ways to sell Birmingham and Alabama to the outside world in an address by Morris Bush of the Alabama By Products company. yesterday at the weekly luncheon.
 MT. Bush's ideas for selling this section are set forth in the following plans:
 "Co-operation with and full fledged support of the Chamber of Com merce.
 Laws favorable and liberal to out side capital.
 Better treatment of farm in finan- cial matters.
 By fostering the idea of educa tion.
 "working and boosting for good roads.
 By raising the standard of intel. ligence to raise the standard of con sumption"
 Mir. Bush stated that the states industrial history began only 20 year: ago and that it had made most won derful strides in industrialism, man. ufacture and production.
 Birmingham manufactures nor, than two-thirds of the cast iron pips used in the United States: it has the most efficient steel mill in the world it contains most of the wealth of tho state; most of the brains are con. centrated here and Birmingham car be sold only by wise. thoughtful ef- forts and cooperation and not by anyone standing around and wishing it could be done," said the speaker
 Mir. Bush said that many marrow minded citizens criticised certai- companies for bringing foreign none. into this district. This is the kinc of money we want; the kind that we need to sell Birmingham" he said Let us encourage Yankee money English money or any other kind oi money. If the Chamber of Com merce had 5000 members it would mean a revenue of s100.000 year tc spend to attract new industries here and it would mean a greater impetus to local industry"
 Jerome Tucker, president of the Real Estate board, declared that the board was ready and willing at all time to cooperate with other organ izations in selling Birmingham"

Baptist workers from over the en- tire state met here yesterday morn ing at the First Baptist church in q conference for the collecting of pledges made during the Baptist s15.- 000.000 campaign. Approximately 500 delegates attended the sessions yesterday and several prominent per sons in Southern Baptist work ap- peared on the program.

Of the 95O Baptist churches in the state of Alabama not over 50 have paid their pledged amount in full, it was stated at the meeting yester- day.

 D. F. Green, secretary of the state executive committee of the South ern Baptist assembly, was the first speaker on the program and 1e- livered short address criticizing what he termed the pessimistic talk of several churchmen. MT. Green urged that the pastors and laymen Shoutu take an inventory or them Q selves and see exactly how they stand. If they find themselves un- they should notify the state commit tee of their intentions and if they find that they might in the future pay their pledges in full they should also make this fact known to the committee.

T|DMORE TRIAL
 MAY BE RESUMED
Bond 0 K When Approved by 0ffiCiaIs-DeWS Serving
 Sentence

The trial of the two former federal officers, w. E. Eubanks and w. NJ Dews and former Police Officer J. B. Thompson. charged with the murder of Curtis B. Tidmore, Oneonta farmer, who was killed last October by fed eral officers who attempted to search his wagon about 20 miles out of the city on the Springville road, will probably be resumed this morning.
 T. c. Dews, Jr.. also a former fed era1 officer, who was charged with the murder, failed to appear in court Wednesday and the case was passed up until a later date. Dews' s10,0o0 bond was declared forfeited yester- day by Judge W. l. Grubb. It was said yesterday that two of the sigma lures on the bond had been declared forgeries.
 Ins discussing the bond, Sheriff Hartsfield and Chief Deputy I. E. Mc- Reynolds, who approved the bond, said that the bond had not been tam pered with.
 Charles J. Allison, clerk of the United States district court, in whose office the bond had been kept since the case was transferred from the county courts to the federal court last November, stated that it was very unlikely that it should have been fixed" while in the files in his office.
 Dews is now serving a six months sentence for defrauding and swim ding on a prison farm near Savan- nah, Ga. A warrant for his arrest has been forwarded to Georgia and will be served upon him as soon as he serves his sentence.
