GUARDIANS CASE CITED
D. C. Heads Ready to Affirm Stand
if Bill Is Framed.

Discussion of the proposal to have
the board of education appointed by
the Commissioners has been revived
at the District building, it was learn
ed today
Although the city heads have not
drafted a bill on the subject since
the new Congress convened. 1t is
known that the question is being con-
sidered. The school board is now
named by the justices of the District
Supreme Court.
A year ago the present board OF
commissioners, in making a report to
Congress on another school measure,
went on record in favor of such
change in the law.
At that time they pointed out to
the lawmakers that the Commission
ers are the responsible authorities of
the District government and voiced
the belief that all boards and agen-
cfes connected with the municipal ma
chinery should be named by them.
Problem of Guardians.
They cited the recent action of the
Senate and House in transferring
from the judges TO the Commission
ers the duty of appointing the board
of children's guardians.
Another bill was pending in the
last Congress under which the school
hoard would have been named by the
President and confirmed by the Sen
ate.
If the question of changing the
method of naming the board of edu-
cation is framed at this session OF
Congress it is believed likely the
Commissioners will reatfirm the po-
sition they took a year ago.
The consideration now being giver
the matter at the District building
has not reached the stage of forma
board action, but is being discussed
Teacher Pay Bill.
Commissioner Rudolph, chairman ot
the board, explained today that the
commissioners cannot disclose the
changes that have been made in the
teachers salary bill until the measure
has been approved by the budget
bureau.
1t is understood that changes in the
bill made at the District building af-
feet the maximum rates of pay, bu1
not the minimum amounts asked for
by the school board. The bill VIII SO

 The General Electric company has just announced As awards to as many of its employees throughout the country.
 Selected with the greatest care from 5000 employees of the company, these IS were rewarded for some unusual service. For instance among those honored were two foremen in one of the shops of the National Lamp Works at Cleveland, who perfected the tipless Mazda bulb.

FOES OF FORD
 LAY PLANS FOR FIGHT ON BILL
Will Rely On Amendments To Change Proposed
 Shoals Contract

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Oppon. ents of Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals laid plans today for the fight they will wage next week in the House against the Mckenzie bill which pro. vides for acceptance of the bid. Representative Burton. republican Ohio. who has for years interested him. self in the inland waterways question cast his lot definitely with foes of the Mckenzie bill. He went over the sit uation at a conference with Represen. t.tive Hull, republican. Iowa. leader of the fight against the Ford offer. and Brigadier General Harry Taylor, as sistant to the chief of army engineers and 0. Merrill, secretary of the federal highway commission.
 To Rely On Amendments
 MT. Hull announced today that no attempt would be made to prevent pas sage of the Mckenzie bill, but that an effort would be made to bring about addition of amendments materially changing the proposed contract. which the Detroit manufacturer has declared is acceptable to him.
 One amendment to be offered, said Mir. Hull, will provide that no part of the government properties is to be stld to Mr. Ford, but that he is to have the privilege of leasing the prof ect. dams as well as nitrate plants, for ,sp- period of 50 years with the proviso that it be under the Jurisdiction of the Federal Water Power act.
 Bill Authorizes Sale
 The Mckenzie bill, in addition to providing tbat a steam power plant 4is to be constructed to replace the ilGorgas plant sold to the Alabama Pow Yer company. would authorize sale of the nitrate plants to Mr. Ford and the | leasing of the power facilities to him for 100 years. Under the bill he would not be subject to the water power act
 An attempt also will be made, Mir Hull said, to require Mr. Ford to pay flair price for the properties turn cd over to him. The Mckenzie bill would transfer valuable government property at ridiculously low price, Mir. Hull said. adding that the power rights at Muscle Shoals alone ought tt5 be worth S3,00O,00O to S5,OOO. .OOO year.
 We will propose that Ford pay the government what the project is worth.' ' added Mr. Hull. If he doesn't want Muscle Shoals under those terms, he can pass it up.'
 In event terms are fixed which Mir. Ford declines to accept. Mir. Hull said. an effort would be made to have Con gress create an agency to develop pow { e. at Muscle Shoals and sell it at a low price.
