THINKS FORD ID FURTHER AMEND
 SHOALSPROPOSAL
Will Make It Possible for Friends to Put Bid Through Congress, Says
 Fisher

Washington Bureau. The Age Herald.

| WbtnihkO DuESaus tH6 Akc-0fFbIus 800 Davidson Building.
 Washington. March 2O.--(SpeciaL) ) Representative Hubert Fisher of Ten nessee. member of the House commit tee on military affairs, and militant advocate of the offer of Henry Ford for Muscle Shoals, stated today a conviction that MT. Ford would fur ther amend his offer so that it would be possible for it's friends to put 1t through Congress.
 Since originally submitting his offer" said MT. Fisher, MT. Ford has amended it in vital particulars. He has guaranteed to make a finished fertilizer and to capitalize the com pany for the operation of Muscle Shoals. I believe that he will go fur ther. The war department declares
 that the government is morally bound to permit the Alabama Power company to purchase the Gorgas steam plant. The existence of such contract would necessitate litiga- ton of several years duration. Were Ford to eliminate from his demands the Gorgas steam plant, believe that Congress would quickly accept his offer. It would be of incalculable ad- vantage to the south"
 Ine military coHm1ttee tOHOrTOW will determine the date of its depar- ture for Alabama. Unless bonus leg islation prevents, the committee will go with the Senate committee on ag- riculture Saturday night. All mem bers of the committee will go, save Chairman Kahn of California and Representatives Mckenzie of Illinois and Greene of Vermont. In the membership of both houses, southern states will be adequately represented as follows: Alabama, Senator Heflin and Representative A1mon; South Carolina, Representative Stoll; Geor- gia, Representative Wright; Missis- sippi, Senator Harrison and Repre- sentative Quinn; Tennessee. Senator Mcclellan and Representative Fisher. The committees will go to Birming-
 ham, thence to Gorgas, thence to Muscle Shoals

POST OFFICE BILL WITH HS623,773,OOO
 PASSED BY SENATE
Measure Carries S63, ,609. .00o More Than House Bill, S50,000,000 Going for
 Highway Aid
By Also, rayea Press

Washington, March 20.--The post office appropriation bill, carrying $623, ,773,000, was passed late today by the Senate after a heated fight. The measure carried S63 ,609 ,00O more than as passed by the House $50,000,000 of the increase going for federal highway aid.
 The bill also carries provisions for restoring to service the New York pneumatic mail tubes and for con- tinuing the New York to San Fran cisco air mall service. The vote on the tube amendment was S6 to l9 and came after bitter attack had been made on the proposition by several democrats. The $5O,000.00 was ac- cepted by the Senate without debate and without a roll call.
 A fight was centering around post office appointments. originating early in discussion of the bill, resulting just before adjournment of the Senate in the introduction by Senator Hsrri- son, democrat, Mississippi. of reso- lution calling on the President to sup ply the Senate with the number of executive orders he has issued remoV- ing post offices from civil serivce classification. The resolution went over under the rules.
 The fight which culminated in the Harrison resolution was precipitated by an amendment increasing the mum Der of postal inspectors from 420 to 520, a move which MT. Harrison charged was to make more places for republicans. The debate quickly en- tered the subject of postmaster ap- pointments and the President was charged with having removed the Marion. Ohio, office from civil ser vice by executive order so that he could appoint the postmaster in his home town.
 Record Vote Required
 This amendment involved s235, 000 but it required two hours of discus sion and record vote. 40 to 2i. be- fore 1t was finally put Into the bill.
 As for the New York tubes, Sena- tor Mckellar. democrat, Tennessee, claimed that the Senate was giving its approval to something that is dangerously near a brazen steal of federal funds" The tubes had many defenders. however. and the argu- ment that they were necessary to re- lieve congestion and provide better ser ice finally prevailed by an almost straight party vote.
 Senator Norris, republican, Nebras- ka, predicted that another generatio a would see the construction of such tubes for the transportation of mai. between great cities instead of in the more limited districts such as the congested areas of New York. Me Kellar said if the New York tubes were restored, then Chicago, St, Louis, Philadelphia and Boston would seel Ito push the camefs body under the tent and get those systems restored" {" Mir. Norris replied that he was un acquainted with the questions in those cities but regarded the use of tubes as "step in human progress" and he did not think that the Senate should stand in the way.

LITTLE KINGDOM OF TONGA
One Remaining NominaIIy Independent State in Pacific Is Under Limited
 Monarchy.

Tonga, little kingdom of 100 isles, is the one remaining nOminally in- dependent state in the Pacific, and, though under British protection, it still flies its own flag. Its government is limited monarchy.
 Time was when it's legislative as- sembly gathered only once in three years, and steamship companies with vessels plying to Tonga advertised the fact as a tourist attraction.
 George TubOn II was then on the throne. He was m.n six feet seven inches in height and weighing some thing over two hundred and eighty pounds. He was wont to open parlia- ment with great ceremony, the boom of brass saluting cannon and much gold braid. Attired in a scarlet coat, blue trousers, plumed helmet, with an ermine-trimmed plush cloak, trailing from his shoulders and held by two velvet-clad pages, King George would march from his palace to the parlia- ment buildings. Guns popped at in tervals. while the pOpulace stood around and bowed low in honor.
