COOPER OPPOSES
FORD PROPOSAL,


by congress Of the offer of Henry
Ford for the purchase and lease of
the government properties at Muscle
Shoals in Alabama would handicap
the water power development of the
entire South and in this respect would
be like removing the vertebrate from
man 'you expected TO ret along"
Hugh L. Cooper, consulting engineer
to the government on Muscle Shoals
development, declared today in testify
ing before the house military COM
mittee which is considering the offer.
Mr.. Cooper attacked the offer from
practically every angle and at one
point declared it would be calamity
to remove the super water power pro-
jcct of the South from the field Of
public utility for 100 years. He also
presented estimates based upon army
engineer data showing that it would
cost the government $1,275 900 900
during the next 100 years in order
that Mr.. Ford may secure sole, unreg-
ulated possession of the greatest pow
er the South has"
The time for lease of government
lands containing water power posi-
tilities, Mr.. Cooper said, should be 50
years and only that long unless the
license was made subject to the reeu-
lation Of the federal water power act.
He opposed the 100 year period on
the ground that it was impractical
from a business standpoint and no
contract negotiated at this time could
be made applicable to condition that
might prevail in 2022.
While the witness said he realized
that the people of the South were
crying for the consummation of the
Ford Offer" he firmly believed they
would be crying for its abrogation
before the lease period expired. He
declared that belief was predicted on
personal experiences in water power
development in the past 80 years, in
cluding that at Niagara Falls.
Mr.. Cooper was called by Chairman
Kahn to the witness stand after Theo
Swami, president of the Federal
Phosphorus company at Birmingham,
Ala, had explained the possibilities
for extensive chemical opera tions, in
lolpding the manufacture of cheap fer
1I3Lf at Muscle Shoals. The latter
.eassp paup
had definitely assured the SUCCESS Of
the Muscle Shoals operations by ap-
plying satisfactorily new processes in
the Birmingham plant which would
be duplicated upon greater scale at
Muscle Shoals.
j. w. Wothington, representing
the Tennessee River Improvement as
sociat ION, concluded his statement in
support Of the Ford offer at the fore.
noon session. He urged the accept
ance of Mr.. Ford's plan and said if
the Detroit manufacturer was given
the opportunity at the shoals an ex-
tensive development of water power
in the upper Tennessee river where
he estimated 100000 horse power
could be | oduccd, would be possible
The committee adjourned late today
until Monday.

Washington, Feb. II. - Additional
government advices received today
from the Mexican border and points
beyond the line indicated that the
Obregon government regarded with
some apprehensions signs of incipient
revolutionary movement, particularly
in the vicinity of the border. dust
what information the Mexican 5au-
thorties possessed as to the extent
of the unrest which occasioned their
apprehension was unknown to officials
of the state and war departments; but
it is known that this attitude among
some Obregan leaders has been noted
by American observes even in Mexico
City.
The reports reaching Washington
from the Ell Paso region, while niiof-
ficial in character, show clearly that
the Juarez situation is full Of ui}eer-

independent source, although it was
pointed out today that the precaution-
ary measures taken by Brigadier Cen
eral Howe in holding his two cavalry
regiments on the post at Fort Bliss
last night in readiness to prevent fir
irg into American territory indicated
that American officers shared the ex-
rcctation of the Mexican federal COM
manders that an outbreak was coming.
