WANTS CONGRESS TO
CREATE COMMISSION
To Adjust Legal Difficulties and
Direct Sale of the Muscle
Shoals Project.
tsv The AssocIated Pressl

WASHINGTON. March 4.-Proposal
that congress create Muscle Shoals
commission" to adjust legal difficult
ties involved in disposition Of the gov
ernment's war built properties in Ala
bama and to direct sale or lease of the
projects to private interests was made
today by Chairman Kahn of the house
military affairs committee but failed
to receive the support OF minority
members of the committee which has
pending before it the three offers for
the properties, received by the govern
ment.
Representative Fields Of Kentucky,
ranking minority committeeman, de-
clared with respect to the Kahn pro-
posal that congress itself would have
to assume responsibility OF deciding
upon plan for the development OF
Muscle Shoals and it was not ques-
ton to be solved by any group of
cabinet officers as representatives Of
the executive branch of the govern
ment,
In announcing his proposal for the
commission in the form of a statement,
Chairman Kahn took pains to have it
understood that he spoke for himself
only, acting as an individual rather
than in the capacity of committee
chairman. He said it was his firm be-
lief, based on a three weeks careful in
vestigation Of the offers by Henry
Ford, the Alabama Power company
and Frederick e. Engstrun1, OF VIII
mington, N. c. for the completion, op-
Grafton, lease and purchase of the
Shoals projects, that the commission
suggested offered the logical and
probably the only practical way of
reaching a proper decision on the
question.
Representative Fields explained also
that he had expressed his attitude on
the commission suggested in a per-
sonaI way and not as a member Of the
military body. 81 would be unwilling"
he said, ''to delegate that power to
any group of cabinet officers. The
farmers of the country have long been
looking to Muscle Shoals for the solu-
tion of their fertilizer problem. They
are looking to congress for that relief
now and congress should assume the
responsibility by deciding the ques-
ton for itself"
The commission would be COM
posed of representatives OF the war,
treasury and agricultural departments
under Mr.. Kahn's scheme, and be en-
powered to straighted out government
tangles as to existing contracts and
enter into either a sale or a lease, or
q construction arrangement for the
future development of Muscle Shoals.

(By The Associates Press)

JACKSONVILLE, March &c. D.
Dickinson federal narcotic inspector
announced late today that he had iden-
titled Morrison Brown Of Havana, ar
rested here Thursday by federal off,

cred morphine and opium valued at

the California state board of pharmacy,
declared he was positive in his identi
fication as he had known HaIpern
while in that state.
Brown was taken into custody
Thursday but statements he made at
the time concerning an associate

rest public in the hope that they could
apprehend the unidentified confed-
crate. At preliminary hearing late
yesterday before United States COM
missioner, Brown was held for alleged
violation OF the federal narcotic law
and his bail fixed at s25,000. He was
placed in jail and officials said early

ZANNELLA REFUSES TO

Overthrow of ZanneIIa Is Caused
Partly by Bitter Local Po-
litical Animosities.
(By The Associated Press)

ROME, March italian Fascist and
former DAnnunzio legionaires have in
stalled a government az Fiume after
their coup of yesterday when they forced
President Zannella to relinquish office
The new provisional government is COM
posed of former members of D'Annun-
zio's national council.
italian carabiners are doing police
service in the city, while battalions of
other troops are massed within the con-
fines of Fiume in readiness to check
further outbreaks. The cruiser Mira
belio, which formed part of the fleet
Of D'Annunzio when he held the city, has
been ordered to Fiume.
Zannella who was chosen to head the
F'iume government by an overwhelming
majority in the elections last spring re-
fuses to leave his native city.
Premier Facta and Foreign Minister
Schanzer met this afternoon to discuss
the question of how to oust the insur-
gents. The government this evening
sent Commentators Castelli to Fiume as
a special commissioner with instructions
to try to straighten out the situation
After consulting several members of the
government departments tonight Captain
Mostwenturi and Major Giuriati, re-
spectively Minister of War and Chief of
Cabinet in the D'Annunzio Ministry, left
Rome this evening for Eiume.
Several wpaaSs agitation preceded che
overthrow of Eannella, who has been
charged with being more for Fiunre
than for italy" Besides the fierce ma
tiona1 struggle between the annexation
lists and the Zannena autonomists, there
have been bitter local political animos-
tiles. These arose on ZanneIla's return
after having successfully contracted a
loan with the Italian government. On
the very day he announced their trans
action a bomb was hurled at his automo-
bile by political antagonists, wounding
his chauffeur. After that the conflict
became more bitter each day.

CHICAGO, March 4.-The farmer
need be no more than thirty minutes
behind his city brother in receiving
news OF the factors which determine
prices OF agricultural products, Robert
McDougal, president of the Chicago
board OF Trade, said tonight in a state
ment outlining the boards plan to
broadcast crop market reports by radio
telephone beginning Monday.
The radio system, which will cover a
territory within radius of 500 miles
of Chicago, he characterized as ''the
greatest forward step in two thousand
years" in bringing the farmer in con-
tact with the factors that make the
price of his products, the statement
said:
The telephone and the automobile
moved the farmers closer to the cities.
They win be brought still closer by
our radio telephone service. It is our
belief that our half hour bulletins CIV
ing not only quotations but funda-
mental news of the crop and market
situation throughout the world will
enable the grain grower to buy or sell
as confidently and almost as quickly
as IL he were in Chicago

by the past it may not be far fetched
to vision the day when the farmer

"a day may mean much to the farm
er in marketing his grain. Prices in
an open competitive market adjust
themselves at high speed to chang
ing conditions. It is important that
the farmer and the country grain
dealer should learn of these changes
without delay.
THE price of grain is not deter
mined by factors in any one country,
but by crop and marketing conditions
of the whole world. The effect of rain
in Kansas for instance may be offset
by drought in India or Australia. In
our radio report therefore we hope
more nearly to equalize the news op-
