 Mr. Ford told house members who called on him that he was very con- fident' of reaching an agreement to- day with the government.
 If can't prove to the people that my lease of Muscle Shoals won't cost them anything, I don't want anything to do with it." Mir. Ford declared. He added that somebody is spending money to defeat the offer.'
 Plans Object Lesson
