ADMINISTRATION ALSO CRITICISED Bceause of Its Favorable At titude Toward the Ford Bid—Politics Mentioned in the Report.' Washington. June 2.—Henry Ford’s Muscle Shoals bid. and. the attitude of the administration toward it are denouuc-. ed in vigorous terms in the majority re port of the Senate Agrictlture commit tee, which at the same time recommends enactment of the amended Norris bill for government ownership and supervis ion. The report drafted by Senator Norris, Republican of Nebraska, chairman of the committee, makes related reference to what it terms Mr. Ford’s withdrawal as a candidate for President, and his de cision to support President Coolidge, and assails in particular the plan to replace in the properties the (Jorgas steam plant, sold to the Alabama Power Company for 50.472.457. “When the sale of the (Jorgas plant was made by the Secretary of War." says the report, “in which I have said he simply carried out the contract made by his predecessor. Mr. Ford, who was at that time a candidate for‘'President of the United States, became exceedingly angry and condemned the Secretary of War. and through him the administra tion. in unmeasured discourteous terms. “To appease his anger, a vacillating administration publicly announced that the amount received for the (Jorgas plant would be credited upon the $5,000,000 which Mr. Ford agreed to pay for Mus cle Shoals in case his bid was accepted by Congress. “TITTs kindly favor superinduced by other considerations so pleased Mr. Ford that his anger at the administration was not only turned into love and admiration, but he became so violently friendly that he hi Uiself ** a President and hunoune&T his supporter the Executive who had made. such liber al concession." The House bill, the repost says, car riend out the idea of the President in ref erence to the sale of (Jorgas plant, and directs the Secretary of War to construct a steam power plant of 40.000 horseiiow er on the Warrior River, upon land to be obtained by purchase or condemnations, and to purchase or condemn a right of way therefrom to Muscle Shoals and turn it over to the Ford corporation.

June 2 (By the Associated Press l. —Stare's Attorney Crewe an nul need today as attorneys began their battle on behalf of Nathan Leopold and Richard Ixieb. confessed kidnappers and slayers of Robert Franks, that he would seek two grand jury indictments agaiust them tomorrow. The indictments would charge kidnapping for ransom, and for murder, both punishable by death. The State's attorney’s announcement came when petitions for writs of habeas corpus were presented in criminal court by counsel employed by the millionaire fathers of the two prisoners. The court, made the writs returnable forthwith, and the prisoners were immediately taken into court. Justice Caverly ordered the sheriff to take charge of the prisoners and continued the hearing until June Oth. Attorneys for the defense said the writ was aimed at forcing the State to permit counsel to confer with the youths, and that they did not hope to secure their release. Having won their first legal skirmish, counsel immediately went into conference with the prisoners. They intimated that the two would not be allowed to testify at the inquest this afternoon. The prisoners were permitted to tele phone to their parents last night. Loeb talked with his mother, assuring her repeatedly that he had committed the murder. Young Leopold assumed a business like conversation. His father is ill. His mother is dead. "Send me a change of , clothes and isn’t it about time you employed an at torney for me?” he was reportfed as say- Lina. -“Yffb 1 did jt. „W?. bave JKQt to face it amt niaS?'fe’fiwst of if.'* Mr. Crowe ye*it£rday took the boys over the route they had traversed with the body of young Franks in their rent ed automobile.

How about fixing this thing up by getting a few jurors?” Mr. Crowe merely smiled in reply. Loeb. son of the vice president of Sears- Roebusk & Company, is alternately hope ful and in despair. “This will be the making of me." he asserted onee during a ride with detectives and reporters. “I’ll spend a few years in jail and I'll be re leased. I’ll come out) a new life. I’ll go to work and I’ll work hard, and I’ll amount to something.” Leopold only laughs cynically. “We are equally guilty,” he said, and then in reference to Ixteb “that weakling.’’ Young Loeb suffers apparently that his mother would not believe him when he told her over the telephone that he was guilty. But at talk of punishment Loeb cringes. “The best you can expect is life in an insane asylum.” said a police man. Ixteb's hands fluttered. His hope fled for the moment.
