BOARD TO HANDLE
SHOALS BIDS ASKED

In view OF the increasi sing numb er
of proposals received by the govern
ment for the Muscle Shoals proper
ties, embracing a variety of ideas for
the use of power sites and nitrate
plants there. War Department off,
cials are known to favor the creation
by Congress of a board or commits
sion whose members will have
authority to enter into direct negoti-
alton with all bidders interested and
in that way enter upon business dis
basis of reports on the individual
offers to Congress.
1t is the opinion of some officials
that Congress Is not organized so that
II can trade with the bidders, secure
notifications of plans submitted
which will make them more desirable
from the governments viewpoint, or
do more than investigate the offers
1t receives and finally approve that
which contains the most attractive
provisions.
War Department. Limited.
Inasmuch as the War Department, un-
der the law, is prohibited from discuss
ing the proposals with the bidders or
from doing more than forwarding them
to Congress for It's consideration and
since Congress itself now lacks any
agency which might deal with the bid
ders, the creation of a commission for
that purpose is held to be necessary
before any businesslike appreciation Of
pending proposals can be had.
Legislation by Congress to create such
an agency would be necessary, and
would be supported by the War Depart
