9 SEES ACCEPTANGE OF FORD'S OFFER Farm Bureau Official Says It Is Only Real One Made for, Muscle Shoals, GRAY SILVER IS DEFENDED Onal of Alabama Replies to Senator Norris—Declares Latter’s Public Operation Idea Wrong. By the Associated Press. MONTGOMERY, Ala., January 27.— Confldence that Congress will accept the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals and thereby reject the plan of Senator Norris of Nebraska for government operation was expressed by Edward A. Onal, member of the executive committee of the American Farm Burqau Federation and vice president of the Alabama Farm Bureau Federa- tion, in a statement today in reply o charges made against Gray Silver, Washington representative of the farm bureau, by Senator Norris. Onal Statement. i The statement of Mr. Onal follows in full: “The farmers of Alabama and of America feel that Muscle Shoals is of first importance and that the public at large should not misinterpret the charges of Senator Norris of Ne- braska, saying that Gray Silver is a representative of the Ford corpora- naking such insinuations, Mr. Norris lon instead of the farmers. By &roatly misrepresents our leader, who has so faitnfully and success- fully served, the American farmers, succeeding #n having more laws assed for the good of agriculture Wan had been passed during the American history. Senator Norris has been a leader in preventing acceptance of the Ford offer by Congre He is for govern- ment which is neither nor acceptable. Our pe: what government oper: means. Farmers of Nebraska are opposed to the stand taken by Senator Norris. “The truth {s that the American people know that there has been only one offer for Muscle Shoals that is worthy of ‘consideration and this is the Ford offer. 1f accepted, the Ford offer will give to the American people emonstration of the proper de- pment- of the natural resou f our greatl country for the benefit of the peopic Predicts Acceptance. “As it now stands, it is govern- ment operation vs the Ford offer and [ predict the acceptance of the latter because It is right and meets the wishes of by far the majority of the American people. “When this is done, the American Farm Bureau Federation, through Gray Silver, as its representative, will have saved the farmers, by gcheaper fertilizers, millions annually Yhrough the years to come. “The sav- iug in natural resources and lower transpertation rates - will - also enormous,” Mr. Onal declared.

SAVANNAH, Ga, January 27.—Dr. “Cle an_Up” Some of Most Substa Special Dispatch to The Star. 2 NEW YORK, January 27.—Now that the police, the magistrates and an as- sistant district attorney have voiced aloud their determination to. clean up Greenwich Village the villagers arise to remark that the village is clean, and what's the matter with these outsiders, anyway, who insist on butting in where they’re neither wanted nor needed? The village doesn't need cleaning up. Get the idea? From Sheridan "Square to Minetta lane, from Washington News to Mac- Dougall alley, the real villagers are shouting' their indignation and denial. The mere fact that seven high school girls were arrested in one Greenwich cabaret for improper _dancing and hip-flasking; the mere fact that $60.- 000 worth of liquor was selzed in & Greenwich restaurant day later— these.mere facts prove nothing except that the village is no worse than any other part of New York city. Properly speaking, this much-pan- ned pluce {s far larger than the name village implies. The Washington Squgre district, inside the boundaries of ‘which the village lles, extends from 4th street to 1ith street and from Broadway to 7th avenue. It con- tains between 30,000 and 40,000 peo- ple, ranging in mentality and repu- tation from the girl who attends the New York ball as Eve or Godiva to Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, the so- ciety leader and sculptress, and Mary Heaton Vorse, the writer. Roused by the slighting—and more than that—manner in which the Greenwich section is mentioned in public prints and private conversa- | tion, the Washington Square Assocla- tion joins the swelling protest. Through its executive secretary, Stan- ley Kelley, who, like all villagers and | most New Yorkers, came from a long Way off—Oklahoma in his case—the village has served notice on the world that it intends to help the authorities get rid of the few obnoxious places and restore the section to its pristine { calm and peace. Real Artiats There. There are plenty of persons who have lived In the village for years and years and never bobbed ‘their hair or been arrested, who point with pride to celebrities who did serlous work and achieved brilliant reputa tions while dwelling in"_the Green- wich section. Edna St Vincent Millay. who writes real poetry: Rose O'Neill, who invented the kewplie, but does sculpture beside; Floyd Dell, author of “Moon Calf;" Danfel Ches- ter French, the sculptor. , Henry James lived for’years on Washington = square north. Julia Marlowe had a dignified old mansion there, and so did the Barrymores. The roster of the Washington Square Assoclation contains today some of the oldest and most substantial names in the city.
