SLIP-UP IN CONFERENCE
ON MUSCLE SHOALS OFFER
Secretary Weeks Not Advised OF
Plans Announced by San
Francisco Contractor.

Conferences between Secretary Weeks
and representatives of c. c. Tinker,
head of a San Francisco construction
company, in connection with the Muscle
Shoals, Ala, nitrate and power projects,
which the latter had announced would
be held today, failed to materialize.
Secretary Weeks said he had not been
advised of the arrival of Tinker'S repre-
sentatives, and, in fact. had had no
further communications from the san
Francisco contractor
Tinker several weeks ago telegraphed
the War Secretary he desired to make
an offer for the Muscle Shoals properties
for the sale and lease of which the gov
eminent is now negotiating with Henry
Ford Mr.. Weeks replied, asking Ilnker
to send details of his proposal. and later
the San Francisco construction COM
pany head announced through the press
that he would send representatives mere
to confer with Mr.. Weeks.
The impression in War Department
quarters, although without positive in
formation, is that Tinker's offer had to
do with completion of construction work
at Muscle Shoals in event plans for
sale to private interests were abandoned.
War Department officials were of the
opinion today that further negotiations
with the Detroit manufacturer would be
held in allegiance until the engineers
who conferred with Mr.. Weeks last
week are authorized to speak with
finality for Mr.. Ford or until the manu-
facturer can come to ..ashington for
another conference. There is understood
to be a number of details Mr.. Weeks
would like to have cleared up before he
transmits a report to Congress on the
Ford offer.
