The letter was mailed from Ford's office in Dearborn. The letter was in reply to a request from Senator No: ris thnt the motor manufacturer pppear personally to explain his of fer. Ford asserted that all of the facts are already in the committee's possession; that they have been in quired into and that there is no "ne cessity for fur'her explanation." Mr. Ford's letter also says that "the recent effort of Chairman Nor ris. of the senate committee on agri culture, to reflect on the integrity of the president of the United States in connection with our offer for Muscle Shoals strengthened his decision not o appear.

Henrv Ford's bid for Muscle- Shoals was attacked l'i'.nrniiriv' rwl -i i Clio irirn n T nrri I of the senate agricultural committee conducting the Muscle Shoals hear :ngs. Chairman Norris charged that no'.itics was bing played in an ef fort to have Ford's bid accepted, and hat President Coolidge recommended in a message to congress that Muscle Shoals be sold when the Ford offer was the cn!v one that provided for thi pale of the property. He said Ford, the "magic of whose name makes millions go insane over any foolish suggestion he makes." had turned from "a feeling of animosity to one of love for Coolidge" after an interview at the White House. During the hearing today. Chair win Norris had inserted in the rec ord what he said was an extract of the minutes of a meeting of the Ten nessee river improvement associa tion r,n March 29. 1923, quoting C. H. Huston in h:s speech of the asso ciation as saying that Representative Midden, republican, Illinois, chair- an of the house appropriations corn- mittee would, in the next session of congress, see all members appointed on committees dealing with the Ford offer will be favorable to it so that the question may be put to a straight vote before both houses of congress.
