House Committee Expected
to Report Norris Bill
FaVOrabIy.
BY c. ]. LILLEY

WASHINGTON, March ia
favorable report by the House
Military Affairs Committee on the
Norris bill for Government opera
ton of Muscle Shoals appeared
more likely today, following Nor
ris' four-hour appearance before
the committee Saturday.
Half a dozen members have in
Dictated their intention to vote only
for the Norris bill, while others are
expected to swing into line after
proposals they favor are voted down.
The committee has twenty-five
members and will vote Tuesday in
executive session. John M. NORM
of PENNSYLVANIA is chairman.
Committee Is Split
The committee is split three ways
One groups favors the Norris
measure or any compromise that
will dispose of Muscle Shoals at this
session. Representative Percy E.
Quin Of Mississippi and Johns C..
Speaks of Ohio are the leaders.
Another favors the Madden bill,
which provides that the Shoals shall
be leased to the American Cyanamid
Company for fifty years. Repre-
sentative Lister Hill of Alabama and
William C. Wright of Georgia are
the leaders.
A third favors the NORM bill,
which follows the Norris bill in some
particulars; but provides for leasing
of the power facilities to private
power interests.
Final Attempt Today
The Cyanamid hackers will make
this final attempt to swing the
committee over today when w. B.
Bell, Cyanamid president, appears.
If Bell will agree to a recapture
clause giving the Shoals back to the
Government in case his concern does
not carry out its contract to manu-
facture fertilizer, Hill believes that
the committee will favor the Mad

fused to do this in executive COM
mittee meetings which have been
