Will Be Necessary For Committee To
 Override Him
 WASHINGTON, April 7.- Unless Senator Norris, chairman, is overruled by Ford packers, the Senate agricul- tural committee will postpone hearings on the Muscle Shoals bill until next week.
 Norris today said that when the com mittee meets tomorrow for its consid- eration of Muscle Shoals legislation he will ask that hearings be deferred
 Has Other Plans
 Norris proposes to hold executive sessions during the rest of this week in order that four important bills before the committee may be reported to the Senate at once.
 Every one of these measures is i'm. portant to the farmer. The Dial bill is especially important to the cotton senators. If they will hold their breath until we get these out of the way we will have plenty of time to fight it out on Ford" he said. Norris holds that delay of Muscle Shoals is ""only fair" The Ford offer has already passed the House while the rest of the bills before the committee have been reported in neither chamber and "haye the whole distance to go."
 Would Fight Delay
 Democratic members have not vet decided whether they will allow con sideration of Muscle Shoals to be de- layed.
 "I am inclined to think we will 70 right ahead" Senator Heflin, Demo crat, Alabama, said.
 This Ford offer has been hanging fire for three years. It is high time we got it out of the way"

MACDONALD LOSES
 GOVERNMENT. TEST
Defeated On Rent Evictions
 Question By 221 To PIP

LONDON, April 7.--(By Associated Press. )-The Macdonald government was defeated in the House of Com mons today by vote of 221 to 2l2 on the rent eyictions question.
 The government. before the vote, of- fered an amendment to the eviction bill providing that the courts should not, grant eviction orders on the ground of non-payment of rent in any case where it appeared to the court that the non payment was due to the inability of the tenant to obtain employment un- less the court was satisfied the tenant had a reasonable opportunity of apply ing to the local poor law authority for relief, and that authority had had op- portunity for considering such plan.
 The governments defeat was the re- suit of an amendment to the rents bill offered by Neville Chamberlain. union ist member for Birmingham, opposing its second reading.
 The government will not resign as a result of the vote. Premier Mac Donald will make a further statement on the subject tomorrow.
