ALABAMA COMPANY BIDS
HIGH FOR MUSCLE SHOALS
Offers Formidable Rivalry to
Ford's Proposal Now
Before Congress.
| Ry AssOciated Prcss.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-Entry of
the Alabama Power Company today
in the lists OF private bidders for the
governments properties ut Muscle
Shoals. Ala. was regarded by officials
as Offering formidable rivalry to
Henry Tord's proposal now before
Congress for final decision. Sccrc-
tary Weeks probably will expedite
delivery OF the new offer to Congress.
so that consideration of the Ala ALBANIA
and Ford proposals can be undertaken
simultaneously. and their respective
merits discussed. before final action
is taken on the Muscle Shoals situa-
ton.
The Alabama comrany's offer is
for purchase OF the Warrior power
plant and transmission line and lease
for nifty years of the other properties
under Dovisions OF the Federal wa
terpowcr act
Member Of the House Military Com
mittee investigating the Ford offer
learned with interest OF the Alabama
company's proposal, but said they
would not delay action on that al
ready before them pending receipt
from the War Secretary OF the other.
Chairman Kahn explained that 1t was
the duty Of the committee, acting In
behalf of the governments interests,
to make careful study OF all offers
was the best from the governments
point of view.
Chairman Kahn was uncertain how
long the Military Committee would
continue the hearings on Mr.. Fords
offer.
Today's meeting was devoted to
hearing testimony of Governor AL
fred Taylor, of Tennessee, In addition
to that submitted by Professor Mil
ton Whitney. chief OF tho Soils Blu
rcau. Department of Agriculture. Tho
Governor was accompanied by n dele
cation OF Tcnnesseeans. for whom he
spoke in condemnation of the Alabama
Power Company. which. he declared.
was opposing the offer of Mr.. Ford.
He strongly urged adoption OF the
Detroit manufacturers proposal and
declared no person, company or cor
poration which opposed 1t was well
come In the State he represented.
First hearings to he held on the
Ford offer by the Senate Agriculture
Committee were scheduled to begin
