9 = DEBATE ON SHOALS BECOMES CHAOTIC Score of Senators Engage in | Fiery Exchange Started by Heflin. Br the Associated Prese. The week of discussion on Muscle Shoals ended in a flourish yesterday | with a score of Senators grappled in | fiery debate | For more than an hour SPI\'!(m‘s‘ hurled verhal shafts across the cham: | ber while athers on the floor and oc cupants of the galleries shook with Jaughter. Senator Blease, Demacrat, South Carolina, who was presiding, made repeated vain attempts to curb the uproar, by whanging the gavel on the dias and finally he stopped the de. bhate and warned the galleries that the cargent at arms would clear them if the laughter did not cease Senator Heflin, Democrat, Alabama P itated the furious repartee by charging a group of Southern Senator: with “jumping about”” on the Muscle Shoals issue by opposing the resolu- tlon incorporating the terms of the Tienry Ford bid, which they previously had indorsed. Assailed From All Sides. Immediately a half dozen Senators were on th feet, sailing the Ala hama Senator simultaneously. The assault came so fast that for several minutes he was unable to answer each. He was accused of “plaving to the hands of the trusts” and with | ing a “‘party to a thinly veiled pian ta take Muscle Shoals from the people and turn it over to some private cor- poration for its own gain.” The Alabama Senator shouted heat- edly that he favored turning it over to the farmers and charged his adver- | saries with being *'pessimistic patriots, who were turning the farmers down in ir hour of need.” Senator George, Demncrat, Georgla, | finally got the floor and characterized Senator Heflin as the “most suspicious honorable man in the chamber.” “If the Senator from Alabama | knows anything he knows there is a | bidder in waiting," he declared I do not know of any bidder.” Senator Heflin retorted. ‘“The Sena- tor from Georgla apparently has the confidence of some one whom I have not | Hits Aim of Bidder. | “I know there is a bidder in waiting and unless that bidder is deterred hy | a few men of enough courage to stand the insult being hurled at them of heing traitors to the farmers that private lessee will take this property from the people of the United States, Senator George replied. “The concurrent resolution does not even require the approval of the Presi- dent, and Congress will be put in the position of turning over Muscle Shoals to private interests. We are about to decide one of the gravest issues this Congress has ever been called on to decide. Are we going to unsettle the nomics of the whole Southeast by edopting this iniquitous proposal?” After the debate had been spent Senator Lenroot, Republican, V consin, declared that the time was ton short for the proposed joint con greseional commission to negotiate a | satisfactory lease for Muscle Shoals | Ly April 1. He proposed an amend- | ment to extend the time to April 26 and announced he would vote againat the resolution unless the amendment | was adopted. Debate will be continued tomorrow | with Senator Blease leading off, but | at 3:30 p.m., voting . will begin on the resolution and amendments, under unanimous consent. Final action is promised before the end of the day. FEDERAL PLOTS HERE WILL BE IMPROVED Grant Announces Plans to Beauty Reservations This Summer. Maj.
