ONLY FORD OFFER
BEING CONSIDERED
SECRETARY OF WAR TO MEET
REPRESENTATIVES OF DE-
ERolT MANUFAcTURER-DE-
cIsIoN EXPECTED TO COME
WEDNESDAY.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Secretary
Weeks eliminated all bids fol-
Muscle Shoals today save that OF
Henry Ford, Detroit manufacturer.
He declared to newspaper CORE
spondents that Mr.. Ford alone OF
all bidders had agreed to take over
the properties and operate the
plants. o..
That the government could not
consider ay other contingencies
was Enthusiastically intimated. "
Mr.. Weeks will receive Ford's
representatives Wednesday. Mr
Weeks will present government
specifications which must be met
Ford will state the most liberal
terms he possibly can offer. If the
difference of margin is so mino1
that a compromise can be effected
the Ford offer will be sent to con-
gress with a recommendation thai
it be accepted. If no compromise L
possible, it is regarded as certain
that the offer will be sent to- con-
oress without recommendation. -.
Many Southerners think that
would presage its defeat. Others
hold that the farmers are so strong
for Ford's offer that their organi-
cation operating with the agrariar
bloc would put the necessary appro-
priation through possibly against
the will of congress:
1t is certain, however, that a long
and bitter fight must ibe won be-
fore any appropriation of magni-
tude for any Southern enterprise
can receive the approval of this
Republican and highly partisan con-
gress.

growers have not. The many other
promising schemes developed to
help the farmer have only taken his
money, but that all Of them had
generous support is proof that the
agriculturists are not overly sus-

realize that something ought to be
