PICK FLAWS IN PLAN
N E0Rus CONTRACT
Sec. Weeks Suggests Amend
ments That Might Safe
guard U. S. Interests.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Fob. s.-The
opening session OF tho house military
committee investigation of tho Ford
contract offer for purchase and lease
of the governments property at
Muscle Shoals. Ala. rcvolved today
principally about clauses relating to
manufacture of fertilizers for tho ma
tion's agricultural needs.
Secretary Weeks appearing as tho
first witness repeatedly declared his
doubt as to whether fertilizers could
be manufactured cheaply at Muscle
Shoals and expressed his belief that
amendments to safeguard better the
governments interests in the $106. .000.-
900 already spent should he Incorporate
cd In the offer as drafted
To alter government policies regard
ing tho lease OF real estate or other
properties and permit a 100 year lease
or the water power machinery and
dams in Alabama he asserted repeated
ly would be an unwisc act and should
not bo permitted. He advocated n re-
Years to 80 In tho event congress
should decide to accept the offer.
Another reiterated suggestion in
VoivinS change in tho present Ian
EuaEe of the offer. he pointed out
would require fixed capitalizatIo for
create. The secretary said no provis-
ion existed In the offer guaranteeing
II capitalization which tho government
might recover in tho event the contract
was violated. a provision of some
sore was advisable he said. which
would permit tho government to i'm
pose thru legal means penalty or
forfeit should the company fall to car
ry out tho offer.
Anything might happen in tho next
100 years" he said. while I have
not the slightest doubt az to tho
solvcncy of Mr. Ford nor of his In
tcntions TO execute the agreement in
good faith neither hc nor I will be
here during tho life OF the contract.
In considering this question we are
providing for the future generations"

vecchi thought the officer was hold

to prevent robbery. Bullet holes in
the body of tho dead man lead the

OF wholesale and organized kidnapping
raids against prominent Ulster union
lists early this morning. Tho numer-
Gus victims including many special

was unable to invoke tho aid of the
military and had to depend upon the
special forces which apparently wero
not strong enough to prevent the kid

appealed to tho Imperial government
which took prompt steps to meet tho
situation, authorizing tho Belfast gov

guarding the boundaries and sending 4

measures be initiated for tho release
OF tho captured men and prevention
