MINIMIZE VALUE
 OF MUSCLE SHOALS
Says Politics Responsible For
 Locating Plant There

WASHINGTON, May 22.--Muscle Shoals should not have been selected by the government as the site for the fixation of nitrogen plants, Dr. c. C. Parsons, local consulting chemist, told the Senate agriculture committee today at its Muscle Shoals hearing.
 The selection was made over the pro test of the war emergency board of which he was member. Dr. Parson said, the board. having recommended a location near Chattanooga.
 Chairman Norris remarked that poli- tics was responsible for the selection of Muscle Shoals.
 Dr. Parsons said he approved the building of the dam at Muscle Shoals to make the Tennessee river nayigable and to produce hydro-electric power but better locations could have been found for the nitrate plants
 He suggested that all pending bids be rejected and the government adopt q policy toward Muscle Shoals and then call for new bids. He declared the gov ernment should retain possession of all the property and that the power should be distributed under the federal water power act. He recommended that the two nitrate plants be leased to different concerns as nitrate plant No. 2 was suitable for carbon manufacture and nitrate plant No. l for synthetic fertilizer manufacture.
 It would be bad policy to tie up Muscle Shoals for 50 to 100 years in fertilizer process which probably would become obsolete, the chemist as serted.
 In answer to Senator. Heflin, demo- crat, Alabama, he said he did not be- lieve Ford had secret fertilizer pro cess.
 F. H. Newell, former head of the gov ernment reclamation service, testified at tonight's hearing.
