NORRIS DELAYS
MUSCLE SHOALS
FIGHT ONE YEAR
Contends Last Bill Became
Law; Waits Supreme
Court Ruling.
BY c. ]. LILLEY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-No at
tempt to pass another Muscle Shoals
bill will be made in the next ses-
sion of Congress, Senator Norris has
Just revealed in a letter to Carl D.
Thompson, secretary of the Public
Ownership League of America.
Norris makes clear that he in
tends to wait until the Supreme
Court passes upon the legality OF
the Norris Muscle Shoals bill adopt
ed by the recent session of Con-
gress, but which President Coolidge
failed to sign within the ten-day
limit after adjournment.
Delays Second Effort
In his letter Norris still contends
that his bill became a law when the
President failed to sign it. At the
White House and War Department
officials maintain that the President
vetoed the measure by his action.
In case the Supreme Court fails to
act within the. next twelve months
Norris probably will introduce an
other Muscle Shoals bill in the
Seventy First Congress, regardless
of who is elected President in No
vember.
Passage Of such a bill in the COM
ing session would be useless, it is
said by Norris friends, because
Coolidge would be another oppor-
tunity to act upon it.
Expects Verdict by 1929
Norris in his letter to Thompson
says: I'm answer to your question
as to the legal effect of the So
called pocket-veto of Muscle Shoals
by President Coolidge permit me
to say that after looking up the
legal purposes involved I reached
the conclusion that the Muscle
Shoals bill as we passed it, had be-
come law, Notwithstanding the
fact that the President had not
signed it, or returned it with a
veto message"
Norris anticipates the court will
act before the Seventy-First Con-
gress convenes in December, 1929.

w. A. Wandemark of Westby was
chosen by the local board last spring
to have charge of the ~janitor job at
the school house. He is very much
interested in his work, and will do
his best in keeping it clean and
warm for our teachers and our child
rem. 1t means so much 10 the ply
steal welfare of the occupants of the
school rooms that the school house
is properly heated and ventilated.
Mr.. S. Hall has served our school
very faithfully in the capacity of
school janitor, for the past three
years. He is now engaged out on
his farm, ten miles northeast of
Westby. After threshing he will be
engaged in church work at White
tail. He is an ordained preacher in
the Pentecostal Assembly. His fam
lily is now located at the Mission
House here in Westby.
Hub Wirtzberger, night police, was
held up at the point of a gun one
night recently. AS he turned a corner
on Main street, three fellows each
with a gun pointed at him, ordered
Glands up" They went through him
taking 500 then ordered him to be on
his way. Steps are being taken to rid
the town of "wobblies" and they will
meet with a warm reception in West
by from now on.
Rev. j. N. Dordol, pastor of the
local First Lutheran church, is in the
Herald's Sales Club campaign. He
needs a new car for his church work.
and with the aid of his congregation
| will make a real effort to land the
Herald's prize Essex sedan. His

in fine shape. Put your shoulder to

The Daneville Lutheran congrega-
ton, south of Westby, is having
some time in securing a pastor to
succeed the Rev. Beck, who resigned
and left here recently for Tuefont,
Michigan. So far they have rendered
the Letter of Call to seven Different
pastors, who have all declined the
call. If some of these pastors of
the east and south knew what this
part of Montana has to offer they
would be very anxious to come here;
but the general impression of the
PEOPLE living farther east is that
Montana is a barren wilderness.
But when people come here they are
surprised to find that conditions are
so favorable here as where they came
from. In fact one learns that Mon
tana has a great future. 1t has al
ready revealed that it possesses re-
sources of inestimable value. And
so far as church work in the Dane
vile congregation and affiliated con-
%gregations are concerned it should be
a very pleasant place in which to
serve as pastor. The church people
there are very loyal supporters of
their church and its activities. They
are united in %furthering the interests
and cause of Christ.
