Dy the Assoriated Pross, In spite of Indlcations during the past week that President Coolidge has been studying various flood control proposals, it was learned today that the Executive still adheres to the plan proposed by the board of Army engineers and ex- | pects it to be adopted. A plan for abandonment of atures of the Army nd the framing of a new pro by a presidential commission was outlined today at the White House by four members of the House flood con- trol committee. Representative Frear, Republican, | Wisconsin, heading the delegation, de- |clared that it had called at ihe White House with the consent of the commit- tee. After his call Frear fssued a state- ment in which he said the whole river | flocd proposition should be investizated |by a commisslon composed of Secre- taries Mellon, Hoover and Davis of the War Department.

Leiand against Henry and Edsel { Ford n connection with the sale of stock of the original Lincoln Motor Car Co. was argued before and taken under adviscment by Circuit Judgs Frank L. | Covert here yesterday. | The Fords purchased the Lincoln plant for $8000,000 at a Federal re- ceivership sale. The lelands based their suit on the allegation, that the de- fendants entered into an oral agree- ment to reimburse original stockholders of the Lincoln Co. for losses incurred. The motion for dismissal was made by counsel for the Fords, declaring in part that the allegedoral agreements between the Leland and Fords while | the former company was in receivership are voided by the Federal statute of frauds. Defense counsel alieged the Lelands offered to “sell their aid and experi- ence” to the Fords without approach- ing the other capitalists and thus “should be guilty of comtempt of the Federal Court and subject to criminal action.” Counsel for the Lelands replied that inasmuch as several months have elapsed since institution of the suit without an answer being filed by the Ford, "we may take it for granted that everything we set up in our biil is true.” Judge Covert gave Ford attorneys until February 13 to file briefs in sup- | port of their motion and the Leland | attorneys a week later for a reply.

Fleharty also was advised by the accountant that the undistributed | balance of the impounded fund remain- | ing in the hands of the company is 351,756, and that the payment of pend- | ing cases will reduce this amount to approximately $345,000. | “This balance at a most conservative | estimate should ecarn interest at 4'; per cent per annum invested in the | bonds of the company.” said the pro- ple’s counsel. “Practically the entire balance will be available for such an investment. Under the circumstances, it is felt that, in addition to one-twenti- eth of the undistributed balance being | credited each year to Income from operations, interest on the said fund actually earned should also be credited to operating income."” REED TO ENTER RACE | Senater's Candidacy to Be An- nounced February 28, Former Governor Declares.
