 Put Over Fight
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU)

<aA<.x11A
 ALBANY-DECATUR, March 19.- There is every reason to believe the Senate will accept the offer of Henry Ford for Muscle Shoals according to J. W. Worthington, one of the leaders of the campaign for development of the Shoals. Mir. Worthington was here today en route north and held a short conference with local members of the Tennessee Valley Improvement as- sociation, which organization has done much to forward the Ford offer. Mr. Worthington was much elated over the success of the McKinzie bill in the house of representatives.
 He was confident that Senator lief lin would be able to put the bill through the agricultural committee to which it was referred and bring it to the floor of the Senate. It is likely that Sena- tors Heflin and Underwood of Alabama and &enAtors Casper and Ladd both republicans will lead the fight on the floor. It is understood here that vir- tually all of the administration sena- tors including Senator Lodge are in favor of the Ford offer.
