Washington April 4 The Senate voted 46 to 23 to turn over control of the 164 million dollar Munda Shoals project to a government run operation for fertilizer production amid a ten year dispute over tapping wartime property. The measure follows Senator Norcia's Republican proposal and now goes to the House in similar form. President Coolidge previously vetoed a similar bill. Belief in Hoover's stance remains mixed as administration leaders oppose the plan.
