The action of the House yesterday 1n modifying two of the Senateamend- ments to the Muscle Shoals resolu- tlon puts the measure back in the Senate, wrhere its reception in changed form remains problematical, but with some opposition expected. If the Senate concurs in the House resolution, the proposed joint con- gressional committee will he appoint- ed at onve to negotiate bids for the lease of Muscle Shoals. Conference Possible. But if the Senate rejects the modi- ficatlons, the resolution will be re- turned to the House and a conference probably would be called to settle the differences between the two bodies. The House accepted the Senate amendment glving the proposed com mission until April 26 to report its recommendations back to Congress instead of April 1, as originally pro- vided, but the other two amendments were modified. Requirements Broadened. The House insisted that the Senate provisions requiring the lessee to dis- tribute all power not needed for the production of nitrogen for fertilizer manufacture be broadened to include the manufacture of other ‘“ingredi ents of fertilizer, both mixed and un- mixed.” The House further would re- quire the joint committee to furnish Congress with a “true copy” of each bid recelved, together with the com- mittee’s conclusions and recommenda. tions. Senate sponsors of the resolution will strive to have the House modifi- cations accepted to prevent the res- olution from being shunted back and forth between the Senate and House. . $60,000 Damages Claimed. Suit to recover $60,000 damages for alleged slander was filed yesterday in the District Supreme Court by William H. Sudduth ainst Barnet Rosen- bloom, 719 Eighth street southeast.
