MUSCLE SHOALS
NOT ACTIVE SOON

Washington, Feb. 11.-Delays
estimated from six months to a
year or more probably will be en-
countered by government officials
before they r in d position to
turn over the nitrate plant power
stations and water dams at Muscle
Shoals, Ala, to Henry Ford, should
his proposed contract for their pur-
chase and lease for a period of 100
years be accepted. Despite the
most expeditions action by congress
in the event it authorizes the war
secretary to accept the contract, it
was estimated today by members Of
the house military committee at
tending hearings on the Ford offer
that such a delay was apparently in
escapsble.
Questions were raised at the
hearing today by members, which
in the opinion of some with long
experience in such matters, would
be necessary to be solved by the
court, irrespective of congressional
action unless the Ford offer was
rejected. These involved the deliv-
cry Of clear titles to Mr.. Ford of
government owned properties con-
nected with the Muscle Shoals pro-
ject but which are located on lands
privately owned and whose owners
claim they have options for the
purchase of the buildings which
they intend to exercise.
1t was the general opinion of
some committee members after
hearing the testimony of Col. John
Hull, acting judge advocate gen
eral Of the army, that the govern.
ment may be compelled to institute
proceedings before it obtains the
necessary titles to the lands for Mr..
Ford and in doing this meet oppo-
sition from the owners, who would
perhaps test their rights in the
courts.
Colonel Hull said it was his opin.
ion that the contractual obligations

days.
