that Hon. William G, McAdoo was

narily substituting the letter "a" for

an insignificant typographical error.
But here's one instance where it pro-

On May 6 President Coolidge made

and raised the duty on sodium nj

BY error many Government bulletins

Sodium nitric is a compound used
in the dye industry.
Sodium nitrate is used extensively
in fertilizers.
Every other farmer and fertilizer
manufacturer who read the bulle-
tins with the word misspelled began
writing letters of protest to the
White House and the tariff commits

Thomas o. Marvin, chairman of the
commission, issued a statement say

MUSCLE SHOALS
TO co OVER TILL
ANOTHER SESSION
No Possible Hope for Settle
ment of Question Up for
Three Years.
Washington Bureau,
1922 New York Avenue

WASHINGTON, June Al.
though Congress has bickered over
the disposition of Muscle Shoals for
three years. another session is SEIZED
uled to close June Z or Whereabouts
with nothing final having been ac
complished.
To be sure, it appears that the
Senate in a few days will go through
the motions Of voting on both Henry
Ford's offer and Senator Norris
plan for Government operation, but
the present parliamentary situation
on the Muscle Shoals matter is such
that it is hardly possible that any
real results can come at this time.
The whole thing will very likely go
over till the December session.
No Chance in Senate
Action of the Senate committee on
agriculture in reporting out a meas
ure that is in effect the Ford bill
with the Norris plan tackled on as a
committee amendment has brought
about this unusual situation. In
effect. it means there is to he a Sen
ate vote on both the amendment
the Norris plam and the original
b.llO the Ford offer)
It is practically conceded by Ford s
supporters that his offer, despite its
victory in the House, has no chance
for success in the Senate. Nor IS
the Norris plan very promising Of
success. as many Senators are OPP
posed to the Government entering
into business in competition with
private capital and private enter
prise. Many of them may follow the
example Of Senator Keyes who voted
against both plans in committee.
Deadlock i'm Conference
Even should the Norris plan be
adopted by the Senate it would find
itself deadlocked in conference, be
cause the House, by supporting
Ford's offer, has taken a position
that is utterly irreconcilable to the
Norris plan. AS one measure is for
lease to Ford and the other is for
Government operation, there seems
to be no possible common ground
upon which the House and Senate
cOnferees could agree.
All this. indicates that with ad-
journment approaching. Muscle
Shoals is going to be continued into
another session.
