Bu Times Special FLORENCE, Ala., June 11.—People In the Muscle Shoals ""district are willing to make Henry Ford a free gift of the gigantic Government development here. That was the construction placed today on the demonstration that followed this declaration yesterday by John H. Bankhead, a candidate for United States Senator to succeed Oscar Underwood. “I would say to Henry Ford, ccme down here'and take this plant and operate it without paying the Government one cent, except the cost of maintenance.” Bankhead made the statement in the midst of a debate yvith Thomas E.

Applause Great , It met with spontaneous outburst of applause that gradually grew into a demonstration. Kilby and Bankhead today were again debating their Muscle Shoals views before the people of Sheffield and will conclude, the series tomorrow at Tuscumbia.
