ACCEPT ANCE OF
FORD PROPOSAL.
Is PREDICTED
Detroit Manufacturer Takes
Firm Stand In Revised
Proposal TO Congress
Must Include Gorgas.

Washington, June /. TWO com
mittees of Congress yesterday re
sumed study OF plans for developing
the government projects at Muscle
Shoals, Ala. with view to pre-
senting completed proposals to the
House and Senate for final DISPOSE
ton.
In the House military committee
developments pointed to quick
decision by that body, delivery there
of Henry Fords final proposal and
the presentation of letter from
him to Chairman Kahn calling for
early acceptance or rejection of the
tender as a whole, stimulating ac-
ton among the committeeman. Aft
err an executive meeting, during
which the new language added by
Mr.. Ford to the committees counter
offer was carefully studied, another
meeting was arranged for today
when w. b. Mayo and j. w. Worth
ington, representing the Detroit
manufacturer will join the commit
tee in what may be their last joint
efforts to adjust existing differences.
That the meeting today might
result in the committee acceding tC
Mr.. Ford's request, agreeing to in
clude the Gorgas steam plant among
the other properties to be disposed
of at Muscle Shoals and formally
approving his notifications of the
committees plan was predicted b.
some members. Others, however,
remained firm in their opposition tt
such an agreement.
Before the Senate agriculture com
mittee yesterday, Secretary Weeks
declared that his belief is that speed.
action could not be had in Congress
while the House and Senate con
tinued to move along what appeared
to him to be opposite paths in seek
ing to find solution of the prob

The war secretary suggested that

gether, work olt a proposal accept

would undertake its execution. He
said he believed the task could bet

the Ford plan for making cheap,
high grade fertilizer at Muscle
Shoals, Henry Ford said yesterday in
Explaining his reason for refusing
TO exclude the plant from his offer
to lease and operate the shoals prof
ect.
THE Gorgas plant would be es-
sential to economical operation OF
Muscle Shoals nitrate plants until
dams Nos. and 8 could be com
pleted, which might take from three
to four years. the manufacturer
said. mo coal mines are loca ted
near the nitrate plants. Fuel has
to be hauled 80 miles, bringing
about tremendous overhead charge.
But at Gorgas, 81 miles from the nj
rate plant, the Alabama Power
olant at the mouth of a mine. The
government built a large addition
o the plant with the idea of OBJ
aiming enough power to develop
electric current for transmission to
he shoals over high tension cables.
THAT was good industrial judg-
meat. 1t saved carrying the coal,
and good business sense dictated it.
When tie dams are completed
md the river is at full flow, we
could develop approximately 1000
| 600 horsepower. But as summer
| comes on and the water lessons.
water power decreases. The power
| hus cut off at the dams has to be
replaced by steam.
THE government has quilt on res
ervati0n No. 90 00-horsep0wer
team plant. When the water be
| Gins to reccde we would need an al
ernative power supply that could
be built up gradually as water pow
er fell, and then cut it down as The
water power came back. This is
mother re son why the Gorgas
plant is Indispensable
Mr., Ford charged certain Wall
street interests were behind the OPP
position to his offer and that the
Nabama Power Company is financed
by British capital.
Fertilizer Can Be Cheaper.
Referring to his proposal for tho
manufacture OF fertilizer at low
price, the manufactures said:
THE statement that fertilizer can
| not be made at Muscle Shoals a
less then present market price is .
fraud. We can make it for a great
| leal less because we would cut ont
Four profits now going to manufac
turers and middle men by making q
omplcte fertilizer and selling it di
rectly to the farmer"
The fun text of Mr., Ford's reply
follows:
II have carefully examined the
amendments made by your commit
tee to my propCsal dated Jan. p
1922, for the lease and purchase O.
