Mayo Leaves for Detroit-May
Pledge Production of Fin
ished Fertilizer.

W. B. Mayo. chief engineer for
Henry Ford, left Washington yester-
day to confer with the Detroit man
ufacturer on the offer made for lease
and purchase of the government prop
critics at Muscle Shoals. Ala. 1t was
understood that certain important
recommendations for modification OF
existing provisions in the offer would
be presented to Mr.. Ford for his con-
sideration before the engineer re-
turned from Detroit next week.
Before his departure Mr.. Mayo con-
kerred with Representative James, re-
publican. Michigan, member OF the
House military affairs committee, and
delivered statement showing the
amount OF finished fertilizers plant
5So. at Muscle Shoals could produce.
yrhe quantities were based on three
different formulas. showing that the
snaximum production possible for fln-
sshed fertilizers was 1,925,e0o tons;
hhe next was 1,233,000, and the third,
s962 500 tons per year. All were meas
alred upon the estimated capacity pro-
1litrates.
Members of the House military COM
1nittee. Investigating the Ford offer,
declared their intention to include in
ihe contract a definite minimum OF
finished fertilizers when they return
IL to the House. This minimum would
BE a substitute for the existing pro-
vision, which guarantees only the
production of certain necessary fer
Iili5er compounds.
The Importance of adding such a
clause was emphasized repeatedly
during the hearings this week, and it
is understood Mr.. Mayo will consult
aIr. Ford on that question before he
rcturns here. Without such guar
antee for production of completed fer
hilizers, the committee members in
sisted, there was no assurance that
The commodity would be rnanufac-
sured. although both Mr.. Mayo and J.
