Coolidge yesterday wrote Mr. Ford
that he trusted" the latter would
renew his interest in the property
should Congress decide to dispose
of 1t to private interests.
Mr.. Ford's withdrawal, made in a
letter to the President, again throws
open in Congress the entire problem
of disposal of the property.
In the absence of congressional
leaders from the city, however, the
next step which will be attempted
there in this connection remains
problematical.
already approved by the House, would
have been voted on early in the next
session in the Senate by previous
agreement. Pending in the Senate
also is a favorable report by the
agriculture committee of bill by
Chairman Norris containing optional
provisions for Government ownership
and operation or Government owner
ship and private operation of the
properties.
Mr.. Ford in his letter Of withdrawal
said that "inasmuch as so much time
has already elapsed we are unable to
wait and delay what plans we have
any longer for action by Congress.
Presidents Reply.
In reply the President wrote that
"on account of the delay and probable
shifting in conditions, 1 can under
stand how you may feel justified IN
not keeping your offer open for a
longer period" o..
Mr. Coolidge made it known recent
ly that he still considered, as he sug-
gested in his message to Congress a
year ago, that a commission or sub
committee to be composed of mem
bers of the Senate and House should
be chosen to work out the best feast
BILE proposition for disposal of the
property. The recommended of
the commission, according to the
Presidents plan, then would be acted
upon by Congress.
Representative Kearns, Republican.
Ohio, who called at the White House
last week, declared he would submit
such a proposal to Congress at the
next session. He was a member of
the House military affairs committee
two years ago when it studied the
Muscle Shoals question and has been
a constant opponent of the Ford offer.
The Presidents reply follows in
full:
your letter withdrawing your of
fer for the purchase of Muscle Shoals
has been received. On account of the
delay and probable shifting in con-
ditions, / can understand how you
may feel justified in not keeping your
offer open for a longer period.
II trust, however, that should the
Congress conclude that it is best to
restore this property to private own
ership you will at that time renew
your interest in the project" i.
Text of Ford Letter.
The letter of Mr.. Ford said:
ION July s, 1921, there was sub
mitted to the War Department upon
their invitation to the writer, an
offer for leasing the Government
property at Muscle Shoals.
After many conferences, hearings,
etc, this proposal was amended on
January 25, 1922. in which form it is
still pending in Congress.
"Inasmuch as so much time has
already elapsed we are unable to
wait and delay what plans we have
any longer for action by Congress,
and 1 am, consequently, asking that
you consider this as a withdrawal
Of said offer"
The letter Of Mr.. Ford was dated
October IL.

lures than any other city in Europe

often appeared. The total absence
of fur collars was noteworthy as

Dresses followed one or two -piec e
effects. Blouses of either hip or

the dress. Generally straight dresses
sometimes released flares from the

or single godet.
