ed in the senate today during a
bate on the Muscle Shoals issue.
de-
Senator Norris, Republican, Nebas-
ka, charged that the measure would
make "Teapot Dome look like a pin
head," and "Doheny and Sinclair look
like pikers," and asserted that enact-~
mont of the legislation later would
become known as the "rape of the
treasury."'
'He accused the President of over-
riding the will of the senate agricul-
ture committee, which reported the
,orris government ownership bill,
and of attempting to solve the Muscle
Shoals problem with "midnight con-
ferences on the Mayflower."
plying to the charges, Senator
Unlderwood, Democrat, Alabama, au-
thor of tie government's ownership
leasing bill, pending as a substitute
for the Norris measure, declared.
Muscle Shoals legislation should not
be regarded as a political measure,
and he was glad that he and the pres-
ident were in accord on the question.
He declared the. president was ob-
serving custom when he made known
his attitude on the Muscle Shoals
question in his message to congress,
and accused Senator Norris of being
a follower of populist principles in
advocating government instead of pri-
vate operation.P
Senator Underwood also charged
that "an organized filibuster to pre-
*6nt action on the Muscles Shoals
bill was in progress,and warned the
ezfe that unless some bill was sent
to the house for passasge before
March 4, the watre would be allowed
t6 go over spillways and properties
worth' $2,00,000 would "be dead to the
world."
Senate leaders, having succeded in
getting an agreement for a vote on
the postal pay increase bill, planned
tomorrow to attempt with reewed
energy to have a time set for a vote
on Muscle Shoals legislation, with the
understanding, if necessary, that it
could be changed in conference to
nreet any serious objection.

tor William E. Borah declared tonight
in an address to the Philadelphia
forum on "The Outlawry of War."
Because of his recent elevation to
the position of chairman of the senate
foreign relations committee, and the
status before that body of the ques-
tion of American entry into a world
court, Senator Borah's subject had
aroused considerable interest.
" To talk of leagues and courts
pursuing a deliberate policy of vio-
lence and vengeance," Senator Borah
declared, "is to trifle with the great-
est problem now betore us for settle-j
ment.
"There is no hope for peace,' he as-
serted, "so long as great powers will'
that there shall be no peace."
He listed a number of international
incidents since the World War, which
he said have involved "a resort to
violence and force upon the part of

charge of naval recruiting, New York
