.BEL|TTLE FORD'S
OFFER TO LEASE
MUSCLE SHOALS
Insidious Propaganda Charg-
ed in Report of Republi-
cans on Project.

WASHINGTON, June 20. =
Henry Ford's offer to purchase
and lease the governments power
and nitrate projects at Muscle
Shoals, Ala, was attacked today
in report to the House prepared
by Representative kearns, Re-
publican. Ohio, and signed by Rep
resentative NORM, Pennsylvania; !;
Parker, New Jersey; Crowther,
New York; Forthin CHAM, Mas
sachusetts, and Ransley,, Pennsyl-
yania. all Republicans and mem
bers OF the House military COM
mite The report declared dis
satisfaction with opinions al
ready presented to the House by
other members Of the committee
and announced that the s1gners
were deter mined to atells"the peo-
pie the real facts about. Muse ls
Shoals and the go-called Ford Of
fer
Representative Kearns said
Represent tives Parkers and
Forthingham signed the report al
though they previously had in
dcrsed another minority opinion.
He expected two other commit
teemen would sign later, he said,
making a total of eight Republ1-
can signatures on the report.
Declaring the belief that the
country little understands what
it is that Mr.. Ford is offering to
do, or what, if anything he is Of
fering for this great plant, the
signatories first denounce what
they describe as zone of the most
h a h
nation has witnessed for many
way"
Many of >the Ford advocates,
the report says, are honest and
Conscientious but have been mis-
led as to facts of the offer made.
In this connection, it points to the
provision by which fertilizers will
be manufactured and says that
despite persistent reports that
he will compel the fertilizer manu-
facturers of the country to sell
their product at one-half of what
they are now selling it," Mr..
Ford does not agree to make
fertilizers at all unless he can
make them with a profit to him
self"
The committeeman declare
"this is a hollow promise made to
enlist the support of the farmer
and not founded on any fact either
contained in the contract or exist
ing outside the contract"
The only thing that is kept
before the public the report
continues, lis that he intends to
make fertilizer and sell it cheap
ly to the farmer, only charging
for himself profit of s per cent
on the production"
"Propagandists also have at
tracted the unemployed, the re-
port says by painting rosy pic
ture of the great activity that is
to be started over night at Muscle
Shoals where they promise mil
lion men will be given employ
ment."
After explaining their. attitude
in opposition to the Ford offer,
the committeeman declare they
are not believers in fables" nor
have faith Ito believe in the
pranks of the fairies, nor do they
think that Mr.. Ford is the re-
of Aladdin plus his
sympathy.
The statement also is made that
the acceptance Of the Ford offer
would give away a vast amount of
and the government
would be unable to realize a cent
Other features of the Ford offer
are denounced.

Error Made in Mix
Reports Submitted
To Board Yesterday

Through a clerical error at
the office Of DR.. ]. A. Jamison,
city health officer, incorrect
figures on the bacteria tests of
milk from the Harvey Traugh
and Mrs. I. T. Hawkins dairies
were submitted yesterday to
the City Board of Affairs.
The correct test figure for
Mrs. I. T. Hawkins dairy should
have been $4,000 instead OF
$4,000, and that OF the Harvey.
Traugh dairy $4,000 instead OF
100000. These revised figures
show that both Mrs. Hawkins
and Mr.. Traugh are supplying
their customers with a high
grade of milk, far under the
100000 bacteria test figure al
lowed by the city ordinance.
Doctor Jamison stated that
the error was made by a clerk
at the City Hall when the test
figures were copied in repor.
form to be submitted to the
Board of Affairs.

VARDAMAN and STEPHENS in SECOND PRIMARY.
Vardaman Leads Stephens Over 5000 Votes Mis-.
Kearney Polls 10000 Votes

Reports from all parts Of the
State indicate that the vote between
Vardaman and Stephens is very
close. Vardrman leading Stephens
by $500 with Miss Kearney polling
between 10000 and 1000 thousand
votes this will throw Vardaman and
Stephens into the second primary
which comes of Tuesday Sept. 5th.
The second primary for u. s,
Senator is going to be one of the
closet races on record. 1t is con-
ceded that Stephens will poll most
of Miss Kearney's vote but Vsrda'
mans lead balances that and gives
the two candidates even chances
and no one can predict the final
result.
One of the features of the election
that has politicians guessing is the
light vote that was polled. Oktib-
beha county did not cast her full
registered vote by over 500. When
the Election Commissioners finish>
ed revising the books there were
2, IA voters left on the roll. and
only 1,605 votes cast for the three
senatorial candidates leaving 535
votes unaccounted for. The same
ratio seems to have prevailed all
he state.

Wise Leadership Needed
Says Judge Carroll

West Point Tunes Herald, Aug. "A.
Importance of wise leadership
was emphasized bs Judge 4. b.
Carroll in his talk on Citizenship"
at the Methodist Church last night
Brsvity, clarity of thought and
suavity Of manner were outstand-
ing features Of the distinguished
speakers effort.
Alluding to the great shake up
the world has received within the
past few years. he said O former
condition Of normalcv has ended
and another condition Of normalcy
on different plane is approach
ing; and whether in America the
coming condition will be on high
or or lower level depends principal.
lv on the class of leadership that
will prevail. He had no fear of
the consequence of common crlmi-
nality; crime has always prevailed
In the world and law has proven
competent to deal with the crimi:.
nal classes. Law. he said. is of
dual nature. First is the divine,
or spiritual or God-given law com-
mon to ell countries and all rslig-
ions beliefs, and next is law of ex-
pedisncy, or msn-made law. The
first is stable. durable and univer-
sal. and the other changes as con-
ditions change and must forever
te made to conform to circum-
/, stances. Our Sunday law partakes
of both natures. 1t is necessary
for the human rscs to have one
day out Of seven as day Of rest
oil authorities agree on that. and
that is recognized as divine law.
The designation OF the particular
day to be observed is rightfully
delegated to the common law max.
ing bodies. and in our case Snn-
day is the day chosen and desired
bv q great majority of the people
and therefore should be observed
BY oil. 1t is not enforced on re.
ligious grounds, but ob profound
physiological law.
Judge Carroll's bearing was that
OF learned professor lectaring to
a class of law students. and was
very edifying to q large and attens
tive audience.
