OPERATION
DEFEATED BY SENATE
UNDERWOOD'S SHOALS BILL
GETS FAVORABLE VOTE. HAIR
RIS AND GEORGE SPLIT.

Government operation OF Mussel
Shoals was disapproved Thursday by
the senate, 48 to 81, but the whole
question of the final disposition OF the
great power and nitrate plant was LETT
in the air.
The vote came on the question OF
substituting the Underwood leasing
and private operation bill for the Nor
ris government operation plan. The
effect OF the vote is to kill the Norris
measure. but the Underwood bill still
is before the senate and open to
amendment
Must Go to Conference.
Whatever the final form OF the SEN
ate bill, it must go to conference Tor
consideration there with the house
measure accepting the offer OF Henry
Ford, an offer that has been with
drawn since the house acted at the
last session.
Although it had been the subject OF
sharp and concerted attack since its
consideration began Immediately up
on the opening OF this session OF con-
grcss the Underwood bill developed
rather unexpected strength in the
voting.
Whether it can hold this strength
when the tests come on the Jones and
Wadsworth substitutes, proposing rel
erence Of the question to presidential
committees, admittedly is problemati-
cal.
Party Lines Broken.
E;rb+een democrats and 30 reDubli-
cans voted for the Underwood bill, and
20 democrats, 10 republicans and /
farmer-labor opposed it.
George, OF Georgia, voted for the
bill and Harris against it.

have to dig so deeply into their peck
cts in 1925 as they did last year to

or more or whose gross income was
$1,000 or more and OF every married
person whose net income was $500
or more or whose gross income was
$4,000 or more. The 1924 act also pro-
vides that il a husband and wife, liv-
ing together have a total income OF
