SALE Of
SHOALS
Ford's Friends Claim Weeks
Was Told Option on Deal
!. Was Doubtful.
By JOHN T. LAMBERT.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

Henry Ford was ready. to ex-
pend $3o,OOO,OO0 as an initial
investment to develop Muscle
Shoals.
His friends here may begin q
legal fight to contest the right
of Secretary of War Weeks to
sell the Gorgas power plant to
the Alabama Power Company.
Those interesting facts were
developed here today from Mr..
Ford's friends, together with the
highly sensational charge by
them that Mr.. Weeks, on at least
three separate occasions, has
been officially advised by the
Governments lawyers that the
alleged option of the power COM
pany to buy the Gorgas plant
from the Government was illegal
and without force.
Option in Plant.
Mr.. Weeks has stated that he sold
the Gorgas plant because the com
pany had an option to buy 1t, that
the company had once extended the
option at his request, and that it
finally refused to- grant any further
extension. He said Mr.. Ford was
doubtlessly unaware of these legal
enmeshments.
Mr.. Ford's friends today contra
dict Mr.. Weeks on both points.
They say that Mr.. Weeks can turn
to the volume OF published hearings
on Muscle Shoals and find that
Ford's representative, William b.
Mayo, chief engineer Of the Ford
Motor Company, presented MIR.
Ford's views on the option to the
House Committee on Military AT
fairs.
They further point out that on
February 10, 1922, Col. John A.
Hull, the acting judge advocate
general of the United States army,
was asked publicly by Congressman
Julius Kahn of California, chairman
of the House Committee on Mill.
tary Affairs, to give his official
opinion Of the alleged option.
Called Illegal.
Colonel Hull said the option was
invalid. He said the entire contract
between the Government and the
Alabama Power Company was il
legal because it was made under
that section of the National De-
Tense Act which provided 1.-THE
plant or plants provided for under
this act shall be constructed and
operated solely by the Government
and not in conjunction with any
other industry or enterprise carried
on by private capital" Ford's
friends say the Government built
the Gorgas plant as an extension

on the company's own grounds.
The official records show the fol.
lowing questions and answers be.

Hull:
