MUSCLE SHOALS

Factions Drop Fight, and
Jones Bill, for Commission,
Expected to Pass
By KENNETH CLARK,
International News Serv,ce.

Factions which have been war
ring for a month in the Senate
over the Muscle Shoals issue have
reached a tacit agreement to al
low the question to come to an
early vote, it was learned today.
Administration leaders now hope
for disposition of the problem
after the New Years recess next
week.
Should this be done, Republican
chiefs predicted that the last per-
picking obstacle would be wiped
away that might endanger appro-
priation bills and force an extra
session of Congress in the spring.
With Muscle Shoals once out Of
the way, they said the supply
measures, through night sessions,
easily could be enacted before ad-
journment in March.
Commission Is Favored
The agreement calls for vote
on the Underwood Muscle Shoals
bill. Administration supporters plan
to vote for. 1t and believe they have
sufficient strength to secure its
passage.
