Despite the most expeditious action by Congress, it will take the federal government at least six months and more—probably a year—to get ready to turn over the Muscle Shoals ni- trate plants, power stations and we- ter dams to Henry Ford, if his offer is finally accepted, purchasing and leas- ing the entire property for 100 years. ‘This was the decision of members of committee, ar Depar ment officials upon the Ford proposal.

Hull sald it was his opinion that the contractual obligations were “non-enforceable” and “null and void,” and could not be successfully presented, either by the Alabama Power Company representatives, or officials of the air nitrates corpora- tion, both of whom claim optional privileges and have informed Secre- tary Weeks that they intend to exer- el them before the Muscle Shoals properties are dispozel of to private concerns.

Admiration for Cardinal Dougherty. Many Seek Tickets. By the Assoclated Press. ROME, February 11.—Pope Plus to- day recelved Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia in private audience, greeting him most cordially and ex- pressing regret felt by the entire college of cardinals that its Ameri- can members had been unable to reach Rome In time for the election of the new pontiff. . His holiness told Cardinal Dougher- ty it was a great pleasure to become personally acquainted with him a: ter having learned of and admired the zeal of the cardinal, which had contributed so greatly to the wel- fare of the church in America. Arrangements were completed to- day for Pope Plux XI to leave the apartment in which he lived -during t elected him and to Piux X and Benedict XV. The new Pope made several changes in the arrangement of his apartmen the principal one being room the Holy Father chose is the cor- ner room, commanding a view of the whole of Rome. It is the same room as that occupled by Pius X. Bene- dict XV converted the room into a chapel, but the new Pope's chapel will be in another part of the house. Entering the pontifical apartments m the loggia of Raphael, one ses into a small reception room and then into a spacious anteroom, which Is sometimes used as an audi- ence rool Beyond that is the din- ing room, hung with tapestries, but otherwise furnished very simply. Forty-thousand tickets have already been distributed for the papal corona- tion ceremonies. The flood of demands continues, and Mgr. Sanzde Samper, the papal chamberlain, unahle to meet all the rcquests for admission, has assigned a certain number of tickets to each Roman parish. Outside the Vatican the crowd clamorin mittance into the chamberlain's office became so large yesterday that the Swiss guards were ordered to pro- hibit any further entrance into the Vatican of persons in quest of the highly-prised tickets. Few Tickets for Americans. A large number of Americans have applied to the American college for tickets, but only a few have been allotted to that-quarter, and no as- surance s offered that additional tickets can be secured. Cardinal O'Connell of Boston has promised to do his best, 8o that Americans will be able to get a glimpse of the pro- ceedings. Two American Catholic students who waited. in & long line at the majordomo’s office for ninety minutes were forced to return empty handed because when their turn came the hour-of noon had struck and the of- fices were closed. Pius received his brother who is a civil engineer, and brother's daughter, a pretty, slim, fair-haired girl. He conversed with them for a considerable time about his native town and his rela- tives, about thirty of whom have ar- rived in Rome. He srid he would see them all as soon as the grave occupations of these first- days will permit to impart the apostolic bene- diction to them. A large number of Milanese and many of his own personal friends who came to Rome with the family were also received by the Pope. Cardinal _O'Connell of Boston was visited by Cardinal Csernoch, Primate of Hungary, and Cardinal Piffi, Arch- bishop of Vienna, who expressed to the American prelate their appre- clation of the succor which has been given their countries by the Upited States. “America’s name will forever be blessed by Auntl"ls I.'ntah Hungn;y for saving the people of 0se coun- tries from extinction,” said Cardinal Pifi. “In every home, in every heart your wonderful country. is cherished as our good Samaritan and savior. Both cardinals were deeply moved as they told Cardinal O’Connell they favored an amendment to the papal constitution in order that America might be represented at the next con- clave. ———————————————————— Friends of Soviet Russis the Soviet Russian Medical Rellef Society, the Technical Ald to Soviet Russia, and some two hundred affiliated organi- zations, whose actlvities are under. the general dlreulo‘ of Dr. Jacob Hartman, are frankly communistic committees appealing to the .com- munistic and socialist sections of the Uniged States and sending their sup- s to the communist authorities in hother group of “committees 15 afiliated with the same purchasing gency and centers around the Rus- an Red Croi h directing head in the United States Dr. Dubrow- ent of the soviet govern- Russian Red Cross in Russia reconstruction of the pre- war Russian arx:nLnuon‘ \:mler ;ha eneral control of the soviet govern- fnent ‘and has been recognized by the International Red Cross at Geneva. ment.
