WASHINGTON, June 21. Re
publican leaders of the house do
not Intend to permit the Ford offer
for Muscle Shoals to reach the
floor of that body this session.
That was made evident today,
when Representative Campbell,
chairman of the rule committee
pocketed the bill. Representative
Garrett, Tennessee moved In com
mittee to consider the Muscle
Shoals plan in the house but to
block this move the republicans
brought about an adjournment.
"This Is not the last you will hear
about that matter." Representative
Pou told the republican members
of the committee. "It will bej
brought up again and you will not
be able to escape responsibility."

WASHINGTON, June 21. Indi
cations were given In the house
today that unremitting presSuM
would be exerted to bring about
action on disposition of the gov
ernment's properties at Muscle

The Muscle Shoals proposition
has attracted almost as much at
tentton throughout the country as
the subsidy bill," said the North
Carolina member. "The demo
cratic minority of the rules com
mittee w;i earnestly in favor of
considering the bill but the re
publican majority walked out of
ti,e room."
'"You can not side step the Is
sue," he declared, addressing the
republican side. "You may take
your recess (referring to the ten
tative plan of house leaders to
begin a series' of three day re
cesses about July 1) but the time
will como and not in the very dia
