FORD NOT CERTAIN TO WITHDRAW BID FOR POWER PLANT
Wall Street Journal Story Is Said To Be Far Fetched
 In It's Claims
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Washington. D. C., Oct. 5 ]

The Wall Street Journal story of this morning in which Henry Ford is directly quoted as having said that he would not revise his offer for Muscle Shoals, attracted general attention in Washington following its reproduction.
 Mir. Ford, it is learned definitely, has not communicated such views as are attributed to him by the Wall Street Journal to his friends in Wash ington. On the contrary, 1t is under stood that Representative W B. Oliver of Alabama has been proceed ing on conviction that MT. Ford might be induced to continue the fight for Muscle Shoals.
 It has also been the understanding in Washington that MT. Ford would not commit himself either to the proposition of continuing or drop ping the fight prior to the recon Yening of Congress and that at that time, he would state his intention to Congress direct.
 Neither Mir. Oliver nor ReprAsen- tatives Lamar Jeffers and Henry B. Steagall, the only Alabama members on the scene, has been advised cf the alleged determination of Mr. Ford to abandon the field, and they are highly skeptical of the au- authenticity of the interview.
 It is their impression that an err roneous significance was given in- advertenly to some sentiment that MT. Ford did express. It is uneer- stood that the manufacturer has been considerably chagrined since the government .sold the tR)sEas steam plant to the A1abama Power company

 Tt is not essential to the federal reserve system to have increased membership among the small coun- try banks" he said. But the board should, and I think it has done ev- erything possible to bring them in. In my opinion the federal reserve system is really stronger without them"
 MT. Warburg said the reserve sys- tenn as now constituted is strong enc ugh to handle any emergency which may arise. He urged. how ever, that in those states where state banks are permitted to estab- fish branches, national banks be given the same privilege without which, he added. they are at dis tinct advantage.
 There is grave danger of the fed eral reserve system going on the rocks" Mir. Warburg declared, un- less Congress does something to pro- teet it. Among other things he rec commended continuity of membership upon the federal reserve board, de- claring that frequent changes had materially impaired it's effectiveness, Members of the board who make themselves popular with Congress, he said, have to go.
