COMPROMISE ON SHOALS
OPERATION UP FOR VOTE
Opponents Predict Passage
of Measure; Hoover Veto
Forecast.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-An-
other solution for tie ancient Mus
Gle Shoals problem came before the
house today for vote, with even its
opponents predicting approval of
the new compromise for govern
ment operation of the Alabama
power plant.
Speaker Longworth and other Re-
publican leaders opposed to the
compromise are counting upon a
veto by President Hoover to kill the
legislation again, as the original
government operation bill of SEN
ator Norris (Rep., Neb) was killed
by President Coolidge.
Vote This Afternoon
They do not count sufficient votes
III the house to pass the controver-
sial bill over a veto.
The conference report embodying
the compromise between the Norris
government operation measure,
passed by the senate, and the Reece
private operation bill, passed by the
house, will be called up about 8 this
afternoon Representative Wurz-
bach (Rep., Tex, one of the con-
ferees.
An hour of debate is permitted
under the rules and then the house
must vote. Support of most Demo-
Gratis and good quota of Repub-
licans is expected to result in adop-
ion.
Disposition of the nitrate plants
for the manufacture of fertilizer
has been the principal stumbling
block in the way Of an
agreement for the last few weeks.
Compromise Is Reached
The compromise considered today
allows a year for lease of the nitrate
plants for private operation. If
they are not leased in that period,
then the government operates them
as we'll as the power plant.
Under the agreement, Is per cent
of the amount Of power used for
manufacture of fertilizer may be
purchased by the lessee for other
purposes, este. sibly for operation of
an electro-cfernical plant for the
manufacture of by-products.

ACCOUNTS CHECKED
House Measure Would Curb
Unfair Compromises.

Move to curb the alleged prac-
tice of the board of accounts of
making compromise settlements of
state claims without the attorney
general bringing suit is embodied
in the resolution introduced today
in the house by Representative
John M. Cantley IDem., Cass).
He points out that many COM
promises have been effected before
action has been brought. This, he
said, is in violation of the statutes
and that sometimes compromises
have been with persons who were
not guilty, or for amounts too
large.
The resolution directs the ac-
counts board to file a report of all
such compromises with the auditor
of state, who in turn will report
to the attorney general and the
next general assembly.
Where accounts have been un-
justly collected or settlements not
rightfully made the auditor is to
ask for an appropriation for re-
payment.
