Alabama Power company the Gorgas
steam plant--a part of the property

He previously had informed congress
that unless the Gorgas plant were In

Political observers, who have pro-
fessed to see some connection between
Mr.. Ford's offer for Muscle Shols and
the presidential boom which bears the
manufacturers name, predicted to.
day that the next development would
be reverberations In the coming ses-
sion Of congress. which possibly might
develop into something bearing re-
lation to the coming preconvention
campaign.
Some time ago the War department
notified Mr.. Ford that the Department
OF Justice and the Judge advocate
general of the army had held valid
Its contract with the power company.
which required the government to
either move the plant from the pow
er company's land or sell II to the
company. Today was the last in
which the government could make a
decision.

southern states. whereas. sale to
the company meant the government
would recover almost the original

When Mr.. Ford ives summoned to
Washington some time ago and in
formed OF the contract with the power
company, Secretary Weeks left the
way open for a revised bid to ex.
clude the Gorgas plant. and Mr.. Ford
was given to understand the War de-
partment would credit him with the
proceeds of the sale, and thus reduce
his initial payment OF 5000 900 to
approximately 81 100000. Some doubt
was expressed at what view congress
might take at the proposal to sell
the remainder of the Muscle Shoals
property for that sum. inasmuch as
