Washington, February 21.-Seere- tary Weeks made public today the offer of the Alabama Power company in connection with the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant, which he transmitted to both houses of Congress as worthy of consideration
 Included in hts letter of trans initial were 12 comments on the Of fer in explanation of it's various features.
 In his letter Secretary Weeks made no recommendation for congressional al action, confining himself to a state ment that he believed the power com pany's offer should be referred to the committees considering the subject.
 In commenting on the power com pany's offer. Mir. Weeks said:
 T. The company will take out a license under the federal waterpower act to complete the dam, locks and initial installation of approximately 24o,00o horsepower. subsequent in- stallation to be made a requirement by the federal waterpower act to meet market demands
 This has the advantage of reliev- ing the government of all further ex- penditures in connection with com pleting these structures.
 "2. The company offers to furnish the government, or any one 1t may designate with free power in the amount of 100000 secondary horse power for the production of fertilizer and munitions of war and research in connection herewith, and If for any reason this use of the power is dis continued, the company will purchase same. This feature of the offer has the advantage of providing the gov ernment return on the 17,000, 900 1t now has invested in the water power project
 "S The government has an inter- est in the Warrior extension of the steam plant of the power company and certain other facilities. and it owns the steam plant at Nitrate Plant No. 2, all of which the company of- fers to purchase for S5,00O, 900, less an amount to be agreed on to cover cost of locks and navigation structures at Wilson dam, which would be ap- approximately s2,500, ,000, thus realiz- ing a substantial sun on the govern ments wartime investment in these steam plant facilities, and at the same time placing them in the public serv- ice
 "4. It is important here to note that the effect of this offer is to leave the government Tn ownership of it's two nitrate plants in the Muscle Shoals district together with the Waco quarry, representing a war time inYestnre mt Of some. s7s .bsfR .00e They may be retained or they ma, be disposed or by lease, or otherwise for the manufacture of nitrates for munitions of war or fertilizer
 "5 The power company offers to operate and maintain the dam, power plant and gates. There is distinct advantage to the government in this part of the offer. In the period of 50 years there may be occasion for sub stantial repairs and maintenance to the dam and gates as we'll as the power plant.
 "6. By the terms of this offer the Wilson dam property will be trans ferred to the licensee, who will com pleto the construction. The locks and navigation structures. when com pleted, are to be conveyed to the government in fee. This feature of

MARTIN REGARDS WEEKS COMMENTS AS |ND0RSE M EN I
Activities of Alabama Com pany Are Under Regulation, President Declares, An
 swering Criticism
By HUGH ". RoBERTs Washington Bureau. The AGe- Hern
 500 Davidson Bull


 Washington, February 21-(Spe- cial. )-The comments of Secretary of War Weeks or the offer of the Alabama Power company for Mus cle Shoals, submitted to Congress to- day, are regarded by Thomas w Martin, president of the Alabama Power company, as a practical in- dorsement of the offer.
 In reply to the objections expressed by some people of Alabama that the company would have a monopoly of water power in Alabama, if it's offer for Muscle Shoals Is accepted, Mir. Martin called attention tonight to Inc federal water power 9ct under which the company would operate, the Law which prohibits combinations, agree ments or understanding to limit the output Of electrical energy. to re- strain trade, or fix prices.
 Further Mir. Martin said: Besides the cost of power and the manner of the company's service to customers. the issuance of it's securities are under public regulation. Discrimi- nation is prohibited. Whatever cost is added to water production, is re- flected in the cost to customers and by whatever amount the cost Is re- duced the customer gets the benefit.
 Rates Fixed
 Public service commissions fix rates within limits of a reasonable return upon the investment. The tying together of the power develop ments along the water sheds of Geor- gia, Tennessee, Alabama, North and South Carolina reduces the capital investment to produce given amount of power and accordingly re- duces the cost to users of power.
 Any person or company may apply and secure permit for water power development in Alabama for public utility or private industrial use. In fact the federal power commission recently approved applications for projects in southeast Alabama to supply power to Dothan and other communities in the region.
 AS time goes on and coal increases in price, steam power will become more expensive, while the water in our rivers will continue to flow and the cost of hydro-power will remain fairly constant. Consequently more and more will hydro power be sought by communities for industrial and municipal use within reach of Muscl . Shoals. If the power there goes into public utility use. in a short time it will be available in Memphis, New Orleans. Mobile, Nashville, and inter- mediate territory and through con- nections will supplement power sup piled in the states to the east
