UNION CARBIDE MAY OUT-HENRY FORDONSHOALS Washington Believes Company Will Dominate If Bill Is Passed. Times Washinaton Bureau. IS2t New York Avcnu*. WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.—Can the Union Carbide Company now outhenry Henry Ford? That i8 the interesting issue in the newest development of the Muscle Shoals controversy. Henry Ford, from 1921 to 1924, tried vainly to lease the $150,000,000 Government-owned Alabama power plant without any restriction on his private use of the 840,000 potential horse power. If the United States passes without amendment a resolution now pending before it, the Union Carbide Company of Virginia and New York will be in position to try the same trick. The resolution provides for appointment of a joint House and Senate committee to negotiate with private bidders for a fifty-year lease on the giant plant. Bidders are required to manufacture a nominal amount of nitrate fertilizer, but no restriction is made on use of any surplus power. Jammed Tlirough House The bill was jammed through the House, and the Senate Agriculture Committee, after a two-days’ hear-, ing, recommended it favorably by all to 5 vote. Despite urgent messages from three former Governors of Tennessee, from the Mississippi Legislature and from business men In Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, the Agriculture Committee recommended the bill without any provision for distribution of surplus power to the public. Senators Norris of Nebraska, chairman and, Smith of South Carolina, fought in the committee hearing for Government operation. On the final vote against the resolution they were supported by Senators Ransdell, Norbeok and Gooding. After It Since 1922 It is generally believed in Washington that passage of the bill without amendment will place the Union Carbide Company, in a dominating position among the potential bidders. The company is the largest independent manufacturing firm admltiedly anxious to obtain the powLargest Trust Company In Indiana II OFFICES MAIN OFFICE N. W, Cor.

Puzzle a Day

At the Los Angeles Country Club an open golf tournament was held. The prize was SIO,OOO. For that reason many golfers entered the contest. One of these, who was a tobacco merchant by profession, promised to telegraph his wife his score, as soon as he finished playing. But his score was so poor in comparison to the champion’s that he merely wired the following message: “The tob&cco operator was not even among the first ten." Strangely enough this message also contained the name of the winner of the tournament. Can you find it? Last puzzle answer; Er k This is the path of the pipe laid level with the ground, which waters the six beds in the green glass house at the Institute for Plant Research. Start at the faucet and follow the arrows until you reach the sewer. This continuous length of pipe runs clockwise it might have been laid counter-clockwise. er plant. It would use the power to make carbide and carbon. The Union company has been after Muscle Shoals ever since 1922 when its engineers made a private surVey of the Tennessee River system. It has declared open war on the other private power companies trying to obtain the project by filing a protest with the Federal power commission against any granting of dam site permits on the Clinch River, 400 miles above Muscle Shoals, until final disposal of the latter. Four power companies have applied for the permits. Senator McKellar of Tennessee will lead the fight on the floor of the Senate to secure amendment to the pending resolution. $12,000 FINES PAID IN CASH Terre Haute Grain Dealer Hands Money to Clerk. A precedent was established in Federal Court Friday when Paul Kuhn, wealthy horseman and president of Paul Kuhn & Cos Haute grain dealers, paid his fine of SIO,OOO and a $2,000 fine of William True, traffic manager of the grain company, in cash shortly after being fined by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell. The men were ihdicted and pleaded guilty to violating the interstate commerce act. It was charged that they mislabelled grain shipments into Terre T aute and collected refunds on the shipments from the railroad company. The payment of the fine in cash created a bit of excitement in the United States clerk’s office. Two of the attaches took the money to the Indiana National Bank.
