FORD'S WITHDRAWAL OPENS THE WAY FOR PLAN OF COOLIDGE WASHINGTON. With drawal by Henry Ford of his offer for Muscle Shoals clears the way, Representative Kearns republican, of Ohio, declared Thursday after a visit at the White House, for disposition of the plsnt through a commis sion as suggested by President Coolidge in his messsge to con gress last December. Mr. Kearns said he had as surance that the president's attitude in this respect was unchanged and that therefore he would seek appointment of a commission by congress as soon as it convenes in De cember. DISCUSSES QUESTION WITH BASCOM SLEMP Such a commission, Mr. Kearns said, should be composed prefer ably of members of the house mili tary affairs committee nnd the senate agriculture committee, as suggested by the president.

Bascom Hlemp, secretary to the president, who was said to have indicated tho president's atti tude on the Muscle Shoals ques tion had not been changed by re cent developments and that he still favored appointment of the commission. "I am gratolfied to notice,” Mr. Kearns, who was a member of the house military affairs committee when it investigated the Muscle Shoals offer two years ago, “that Mr. Henry Ford has at last with drawn his so-called 'offer' for Muscle Shoal* This Is entirely in the public itnerest. Some of us have known for a Tong time that an acceptance of Mr. Ford’s proposals would have Involved an enormous waste of public money, the giving away of a great natural resource of the south to a billionaire and would have worked a great hardship upon all tho taxpayers of the country. “Mr. Ford’s withdrawal from Muscle Shoals means that the far mer now has a real chance of get ting cheap fertilizer and that the enormous cheab waterpower at Muscle Shoals will be distributed equitably all over the south to the people thereof, to whom It belongs That prospect would have been nearer today than It is If Mr. Ford’s so-called 'offer' had not stood in the way so long. I happen to have been the first, man in pub lic life to have pointed out these things and it is especially gratify ing to note that Mr. Ford, In with drawing, now supports the recom mendation In President Coolldgo's message to congress that a small commission should be authorized to work out the future of Muscle Shoals.” 1,200 Metallic Ob j ects T aken From Stomach SAGINAW, Mich.—Mary Doe, the 15-year-old girl in whose stomach physicians last month found ,200 metallic objects including coins, metal washers, safety pins, cruci fixes, chains, brooches and bolts, was discharged Wednesday night from the hospital.

(Applause.) "It Is a far different thing, fel low klnnsmen, for the Catholic church, organized within Its own limits, Its own borders, a society bound, secret that votes like one man at the behest of a foreign leader and then say that they will drive out of America any number of Protestants who see fit. to es» tabllsh for themselves a secret and oath-bound organization that they may, If they will vote alike. (Vio lent applause). “Let me say with equal frank ness and earnestness this organiza tion as I understand It, has no fight to make up<*i the foreigner as a foreigner. I have no objec tion for a reasonable number of Belgians, of Swedes, or Norwegians and other types of those northern land western states of Europe coming Into this country, If, In coming here, they Intend to make 100 per cent Americans. (Applause). "I would build a steel wall against the admission of a single tne of those souttiern Europeans rho never thought or spoke a lan guage of democracy In their lives.” (Applause).

Dr. Eckenor ex plained that fog and adverse winds had delayed him slightly, and add ed that the time between shores was really less than the flying time because the ship was at a point over the Massachusetts roast where It could have landed safely, 7k hours after It left Frledrlchhafen.
