Ford's offer was defeated by a 8 to

to 5, two senator's, Page Vermont,

the ballot.
All other proposals for the projects
were discarded by the committee with
out a record vote. These included the
offer by the Alabama Power company.
frederick Engstrum, Charles L. Par
sons and the quasi-governmental plan.
The voting for rejection Of the Ford
offer was: Senator's Norris, Page (by
proxy, McNary. Keyes. Gooding, Nor.
beck, Harreld, Mckinley, all republi-
cans; and Senator Kendrick, demo-
crat, Wyoming.
Those voting for a favorable report
were: Senators Capper and Ladd, re.

Definite action by the senate on
Muscle Shoals at this session of con.
gress may not be taken. With the
tariff soldier bonus, the ship subsidy
and several other important measures
crowding the legislative calendar a
vote on disposition of the project may
be sidetracked until next session.
Ford's supporters. however, signified
an intention to demand action before
the scnste adjourns. Proponents Of
the federal operation plan are believed
to favor postponement.
Although the committee failed to
agree on a majority report to the SEN
