To FORD IS
SEEN
Senator Norris Again Attacks
Muscle Shoals Bill as
Passed by House.
By WILLIAM HARD.

In the Muscle Shoals bill, as
passed by the House of Represen-
tatives, the United States Gov
eminent is making Henry Ford an
annual gift, which, if taken by
the Ford corporation and put to
interest and compounded an
nually, will give to the Ford cor
poration in the course Of the one
hundred years of it's lease Of
Muscle Shoals a total net profit
of $14,500yOOO,OOO.
Norris Gives Figures.
This was the outstanding feature
Of a new tongue-lashing given today
to the Henry Ford Muscle Shoals
proposition by Senator Norris of
Nebraska, to whose committee in
the Senate the Muscle Shoals bill
will now go.
The last time this bill went to
that committee, which is the Com
n1ittee on Agriculture, it was
turned down by a vote of nine to
seven.
This year it's chances in the
Senate are at the outset even
darker. The Republican conserva-
tives are for the most part against
1t because they regard it as a steal,
and the Republican radicals, whose
numbers have been considerably in
creased by recent elections, are in
clined to be against 1t not only
because many Of them regard 1t
as a steal but because they gen.
orally are disposed to make the
Muscle Shoals development into a
great demonstration Of public own
ership and operation Of water
power.
Erstwhile Foes Limited.
Thus the fight in the Senate on
this proposition is likely to bring
the go-called reactionaries like Sen.
ator Brandegee Of Connecticut and
the so-called bolsheviks like SEN
ator La Toilette Of Wisconsin into
a common alliance against the ma
Jority Of the Democrats who are
favoring the Henry Ford Muscle
Shoals proposition. on the ground Of
the need Of the farmers for cheap
fertilizers.
The fight thus in prospect was
analysed by Senator Norris in a
carefully prepared statement as fol.
lows:
'"The Government Is to go to the
Tennessee river in northern Ala
hama and there complete two
dams fer Henry Ford at the Gov.
ernment's sole expense.

impossible. ."
By GEORGE r. HOLMES,
international News Service.

Autcfuot4Uu6G NeW8 6cES1cOs
A definite split, the political
consequences lof which cannot yet
be determined, developed today
between President Coolidge and
the leaders of his party in Con-
gress.
The President has demanded
that the Republican leadership
WELD the whip and drive through
Congress in four days a separate
resolution permitting a deduction
of 20 per cent on the income tax
returns due Saturday.
Refusal Is Blunt.
Harrassed at every turn by the
coalition of Democrats and in
surgents. the Republican leadership
has bluntly told the White House
that such a thing is impossible,
and that no effort will be made to
carry out the Presidents wishes in
this respect.
This was the situation today,
with the next move-if there is to
be any next move-apparenuy up
to the White House.
The Republican leaders are
worried and somewhat resentful,
claiming that the President asked
them to do the impossible" and
thus put them in an awkard and
embarrassing position before the
White House ResentfuT.
The White House. smarting
under a succession of reverses ex.
perienced this session. also APP
peared somewhat resentful. 1t was
pointed out that although the
Sixth-eighth Congress has been in
session more than three months not
one Of the recommendations made
by the President in his first mes.
sage has been enacted into law.
''It Is absolutely impossible to
pass this reduction resolution be-
fore Saturday without unanimous
consent" said Congressman Green
(Rep) Of Iowa, chairman Of the
powerful Ways and Means Com
mittee. And everybody knows that
unanimous consent is impossible.
There is active and violent oppo-
sition to this measure"
Congressman Longworth of Ohio,
the Republican leader, agreed with
Green, as did other of the Re.
publican leaders.
Democrats Solid.
Congressman Garner (DemO of
Texas, announced flatly he was
opposed to it, and he carries almost
the solid Democratic strength with
him. Add to this Democratic
strength that Of the insurgents,
who hold the numerical balance of
power, and 1t became apparent that
there was little hope for what the
President asked.
The coalition of Democrats and
insurgents Is frankly suspicious Of
the Presidents resolution. BY com.
bining their strength and taking
advantage of every Republican
weakness they succeeded a few
weeks ago in defeating the Mellon
bill and writing new tax bill that
"out-Mellon's Mellon" in its reduc.
ton of 1924 taxes. And at the
same time they wrote into the
general tax bill the very provision

The Lhevinnes did not stop with
one or two encores after a stated

played four encores to one group.
The audience honestly demanded it.
1t is wonderful to see two great

Why Not Have the Lhevinnes

From the standpoint of complete
satisfaction, Ona B. Talbot has never

audience.
AS 1 noticed the audience respond
to the artistry of these two gifted
people and observed the way they

would be to bring the Lhevinnes to
Indianapolis each year as the chief

Josef Lhevinne is a master Of tech

You seem to feel the heart beat Of
the very man even when he is playing
the most delicate notes. He turns the
piano at times into a lark. Once or
twice 1 thought that Lhevinne had
kissed the piano, SO sweet and beau
tiful were the tones.
