 Huston Case Involved The Muscle Shoals debate offered
 an opportunity for the threatened senate discussion of the activities of Claudius Huston, chairman of the re-
 publican national committee, in be-
 to private interests. A report from the lobby committee on Illusions fi- nancial relations with the Tennessee River Improvement Association in it's 1 it's activities on Muscle Shoals legis-
 lation is in prospect.
 Put up during the war when con- gress feared this nation might be
 cut off from the nitrogen supply so vital in the manufacture of war eX 1 plosives. the huge dam on the Ten nessee River and the nitrate plants nearby have never really been used for their original purpose.
 A bid by Henry Ford for the pro- perty after the war ended electrified i the south and stirred a bitter con- troversy in congress. After four years of congressional wrangling. Mir. Ford | withdrew his offer Since then vari-
 ous bills have been passed by one branch or the other Finally, two years ago. the Norris government op- eraton resolution got through both
 the house and senate.
 This resolution would set up a governmental corporation directed by three men to be appointed by the l president to operate the nitrate 1 plants and to control the power gen. erated by the dam, over the Tennes- see River.
 Dam Provided For It also would provide for the con- structioIl of a dame on the Clinch River at Cove Creek, Tennessee, to
 be used as a reservoir for the Muscle
 Shoals dam. It is estimated this dam
 would cost. with it's transmission lines to Muscle Shoals, s34.140,000. The government corporation would
 be authorized to manufacture fixed
 nitrogen at Muscle Shoals but its
 main purpose would be to conduct experiments in the manufacture of nitrogen for use as fertilizer in time
 of peace and for explosives in time
 of war.
 Surplus power generated at the
 plants would be distributed equitably among the states within transmission distance Preference in sale of power would be given to states and munich palities and thereafter it could be
 sold to private industry or individu- als.
 Alabama would be allowed five per cent of the gross proceeds from
 the sale of surplus power at Muscle Shoals and Tennessee would be all
 lowed five per cent from the sale of power at Cove Creek to compensate
 the states for loss in taxes on private
 property.

tional Capitol in Havana.
The news said Mrs. Struyf forwarded
a report of the case last night to Henry
l.. Stimson, Secretary Of State in Wash
ington, on her own behalf as an Amer
lean citizen. At the same time she sent
to j. p. Bland Of Jacksonville, consular
representative Of Belgium in Florida,
an appeal in behalf of her husband.
She came here from Havana yesterday
with her son.
Mrs Struyf told the newspaper that
political conditions in Havana have
made collection Of her husbands claims
impossible.
The Cuban government claims 1t has
no money" she said she wrote Bland
There is no work for Mr. Struyf over
there, and he is completely stranded
without enough money to leave there
They have threatened to arrest him If
he puts anything in the paper. How
ever, the press in Cuba will not print
anything concerning criticism of the
government"

DR.. G, G. WI told the Assembly that
a confederation of the entire world may

He pictured the growth of similar unions
among other nations on other contin-

Such a confederation. he said. was

He added that it was with this idea in
