FARM BUREAU ALLEGES i
BIG BRlBE WAS OFFERED
Alleged Proposal Was That
Farm Bureau Seek Control
of Muscle Shoals Plant
(By United PresS)

Washington, April IA sensa-
tional charge that the Alabama Farm
Bureau Federation has been offered
a virtual proposal of $2,500,000 if it
would seek to obtain from the gov
eminent the leasing Of the Muscle
Shoals nitrate plant No. 2, and thus
defeat the efforts of Henry Ford to
lease the entire project, was made
in documents made public by the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
In a letter, Roy C. Bishop, secre-
tary and manager of the Alabama
Farm Bureau Federation, alleged he
had been approached by General r.
E.. Steiner, who urged that the Ala
bama Federation seek to lease the nj
trate plant No. 2 to assure supply
of fertilizer for the farmers. and
promised that the company would
purchase the rest of the project and
would make contribution of ST.
100000 to the federation"
Bishop charged that Steiner was
representative of the Alabama
Power company. Steiner denied any
connection with the Alabama Power
company, Bishop said.
Steiner also promised to guaran-
tee 100000 horsepower to operate
the nitrate plant, Bishop alleged.
The whole proposal was promptly
rejected, statement of Gray Silver,
Washington representative Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
