The senator was especially emnhatic in referring to the fact that th. building was to stand in Wall streer. He predicted that graft equal to that Which featured the construction of the city hall in Philadelphia would develop before the completion of the building. He assailed Go, ernor Harding personally and after renew : ing former c.iarge that in the last presidential election he voted the republican ticket, quoted verse to the effect that he had bartered convie. tions for his job.
 The senator declared that the re- moyai of Harding by the President would De appreciated by all the pep pie Of the United States and called upon the President to remove nim.

ENGSTRUM OFFER
 NOW IN HANDS OF
 J. s. ENGINEERS
Weeks Most Desires Bid for Outright Purchase of Property at Muscle
 Shoals
By Associated Press

Washington, January 6.-The pro- posal for completion and lease of the governments nitrate and water power plants at Muscle Shoals received from Frederick E. Eng strum. president of the Newport Shipbuilding company of Whining ton. N. C.. was referred today by Secretary Weeks to war department engineers for careful analvsis and report, Brigadier General Taylor. assistant chief of army engineers. was directed to make a thorough study of the offer and to give the Secretary as soon as possible his estimate of the bid.
 Marion Butler, former United States senator from North Carolina, acting as legal advisor to Mr Eng strum, will be given a hearing at a da te to be fixed by the secretary immediately upon receipt of General Taylor's report. At that time. Mir. Butler said today, MT Engstrum and his associates in the enterprise will appear to give additional informa- ton regarding their proposal.
 Commenting on the bnBsIrum or fer today. war department officials said Secretary Weeks most desired an offer for the outright purchase of the Muscle Shoals properties, as they stand without requiring an ad- ditional appropriation by Congress for the completion of the project and without any assumption on the part of the government of respon- sibility for it's future management.
 One official declared 1t would be no task for the war department to get bids for the completion of the project, provided Congress would authorize the expenditure of money for that purpose, and that the Eng strum proposal appeared from pre- llminary study to be an indirect bid for such contract.
 The war department today of- fered to sell 3.247.o00 pounds of ammonium nitrate manufactured at Muscle Shoals during the war. Sealed bids for it's purchase, it was announced, would be received by the Philadelphia district ordnance salv- az board not later than noon Jan uary 23, but no guarantee would be given as to analysis, or condition of the material which has been in stor- age about three years.
