FORD'S ABSENCE
HALTS MUSCLE
SHOALS PROJECT
Status of Negotiations a
Mystery At Washing
ton-Conference Yes
terday Did Not Include
the Secretary of War
Ford Suddenly Leaves
Capital

Washington, Nov 9-Negotiations
between government officials and
Henry Ford on the latter's offer for
the purchase and lease OF the Muscle
Shoals, Ala, nitrate and waterpower
projects came to a sudden halt today.
Officials said the offer would be con-
sidered in conference to be held later
but the date for the conference has
not been definitely fixed.
Mr. Ford left Washington in his
private car today for New York where
he explained, important business
awaited him and made it imperative
for him to be there today His depar-
ture came Unexpectedly as it had been
officially announced. following the
conference yesterday with Secretary
Hoover, of Commerce, and Major
Gen. Beach, chief of army engineers,
that he would remain in Washington
for further conferences to be held to-
day.
Secretary Weeks still was confined
to his home by an attack of indiges
tion Gut hoped to reach his offices
later i'll the day. His indisposition
made it impossible for him to parti-
cipate in the meeting with Mr.. Ford
and his engineers yesterday and the
negotiations were therefore given a
preliminary status, awaiting the sec
retarys presence before entering the
stage of final action.
Before leaving Washington, it was
learned today, Mr.. Ford called at MI
Weeks's home late last night and eX-
planned the necessity of his depar-
ture for New York. The subject OF
the Muscle Shoals offer was not dis
esisasd withs Mr. Weeks, by. the De-
planned, made the visit entirely a
courtesy call.
Secretary Hoover's statement, made
at the conclusion of yesterdays meet
ing, that report might be made to
congress on the Musc.e Shoals ques
tion within a few days, led some to
believe that an imminent agreement
between the government s representa-
tives and Mr.. Ford was not improb
able In that event, it was said. it
might not be necessary for Mr.. Ford
to return here in person and the final
negotiations would then be carried to
conclusion by the engineers of the
Detroit manufacture and officials
here.
Mr.. Weeks has thoroughly informed
himself on every provision of the
Ford offer and is entirely familiar
with the property he is dealing with.
His recent inspection at Muscle
Shoals of the project there, he said,
gave him a precise vision of the
works in their entirety and prepared
him to deal understanding with any
proposal for disposal to private inter-
ests.
Under the circumstances and with
the information received from Mr..
Fords engineers in conference with
him and Gen. Beach some contender
that the war secretary was in posi-
tion to report to congress This evil
IDENTIFY was the belief of Mr. Hoover.
they said, and probably prompted
him to make the statement yesterday
that the conclusions might be EN-
bodied in a report within day or so
and congress left to decide for itself
what disposition it would make of the
Muscle Shoals properties involving
the acceptance or rejection of the
Ford offer.

NEW MLDDLES LLKELY TO
STRENGTHEN SPORT TEAMS

A survey OF the material in the new
class al the Naval Academy indicates
that many of the midshipmen who
have just been admitted are likely TO
add strength 10 the squads IN almost
every line of sport There IS special
satisfaction over the fact that the
football material is most promising.
The Naval and Military Academies
have a distinct advantage over al
other institutions in that their rev
class enters during the early part OF
the summer This gives an cppor-
tunity not only TO assert tbs new
students for material in the different
lines. but 10 give them considerable
athletic work during the warmer
months Football starts just as soon
as the weather permits. the members
OF the new class are in excellent
shape by the time practice COM
mences at other schools.
The development Of the athletic
material in the new class is thor
oughiy systematized al the Naval
Academy. and each new midshipman
is required to fiji our form showing
his experience in different branches
as the sports in which he wishes 10
engage al the Academy. Those who
have entered up TO this time. about
500. have made out this forms and
some interesting facts have b~on in
dicated.

there are plenty of active and am

weight at present for the Academy

will undoubtedly develop into good
men in various lines as they gain in
