WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Washington. D. C., Nov. 2G J

Highly elated because of the bril- liant prospect for the acceptance by Congress of the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals, members of the -Ala- bama House delegation sWooped down upon Washington today. In the list were Representatives Bank head, Bowling, Oliver, Almon, All good and Hill Already here were Stea gall Jeffers and Huddleston. Representative McDuf- fife will answer present by the end of the week, it is announced.
 Representative Oliver. who crit icised Secretary Weeks for having sold Gorgas to the Alabama Power company without "compelling legal reason" is delighted that the repub- llcan chairman of the appropriations committee, Mir. Madden of Illinois, is preparing to build 8 duplicate of Gorgas for the enhancement of the Ford offers success, and that the President Is in harmony" with such preparation
 Fight Not Entirely Won.
 MT. Aln.on joined him in declaring that prospects were never before so good, although both recognized that the fight was not as yet entirely won.
 The Alabama delegation will meet at the end of the week to thresh out any differences that might exist in order that in all respects solidarity of action might be achieved. It is un- derstood that Representative Almon or Jeffers would occupy the single vacancy on the committee on mili- tarY affairs. The former because that committee will consider offers of Muscle Shoals, and the latter be- cause he served at the front in the war against Germany. Inasmuch as neither will land if both persist, it is said to be certain that one will with draw and harmony will prevail.
 Practically all other members are satisfied with their major committee assignments, Representative Oliver on appropriations McDuffie on rivers and harbors, Bankhead on merchant marine and education, Huddleston on interstate and foreign commerce, and Steagall on banking and currency. MT. Hill, who succeeds the late Rep resentativ Tyson. will probably be given the committee assignments of his predecessor. The Alabama mem Der will be, 1t is indicated, the youngest member of the House.
