M Oles: S50 WD | FOR SHOALS DA In| seems fortunate in that House Authorizes Fund, Pro- hibiting Expenditures Before Fall. | An appropriation of $7,500,000 for new construction work on the Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals, Ala.. was au-| thorized vesterday by the House and sent to the Senate for concurrence. Under a limitation fixed by thel House, however, none of the money can be expended prior to October 1 next. As authorized orlginally by the |Senate when it attached a provision to the Army bill providing for re- newal of work on the dam, the $7,500,000 was made avallable for that use asg soon as the bill was signed by the President. House republican leaders endeavored to obtain straight- out acceptance of the appropriation as approved by the Senate, but were defeated by a combination of demo- crats and farm bloc republicanss i Restriction Move Loat. Final action was taken after Rep- resentative Huddleston, democrat, Alabama, had offered an amendment | preventing any expenditure on the dam before Japuary 1, 1923, and not then If the Ford proposal to purchase and lease the Muscle Shoals proper- ties should have been accepted by Congress. His motion was lost, 119 to 132.. The vote on the substitute offered by Representative James, re- publican, Michigan, fixing the effec- tive date as October 1 was adopted, 145 to 105. Two hours debate on the appropri. ation preceded the final voting. Dur- ing that time Representative Mon- dell of Wyoming, the republican leader, and other majority spokesmen ed that the dam be eompleledl without delay, and criticized the dem- ocrats for favoring postponement of work until October and January: J Ask Actlon on Ford Offer. Democratioc spokesmen, supported by republicans who favored the Ford offer, pointed out in reply that they wanted action by Congress on Henry Ford's offer and did not propose to have that postponed. By October, they said, the House would have had an opportunity to vote on it, and if work was begun on the dam mean- while serlous complications, beyond the power of Congress to adjust be- fore final adjournment of this ses- sion, probably would result in the 0 t Members of the National Woman's indefinite suspension of action on the Detroit manufacturer's offer. Representative Garrett of Tennes- see, the democratic leader, appealed to Mr. Mondell and later to Repre. sentative Madden of Illinois, chair- man of the appropriations committee; man of the appropriations commit- tee, to bring in the bill favorably reported by the military committee providing for the conditional accept- ance of the Ford bid. In each in- stance he was informed ‘that it was impossible to comply with his request because of the legislative situation in the House and that if the James or Huddleston amendments carried the democrats would have to shoulder re- sponsibility for delaying construction work on the dam.
