Not only is the play great mystery
but there are so many AMUSING

Commission Fails
To Agree in Matter
Muscle Shoals Project

washington. Nov. 2-(AP)-The
Muscle Shoals commission, appoint
ed by President Coolidge to solve the
problem OF disposition of the govern
ments gigantic project in Alabama,
practically ended its efforts today in
disagreement.
Chairman Mckenzie informed the
president that the commission could
not get together on a single report
and that a majority and perhaps two
minority reports would be filed.
He explained that the majority.
including himself, former Senator
Dlal, Democrat South Carolina, and
Russell +. Bower of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, favored
operation of the property preferably
under lease to private interests for
production of fertilizer in time of
peace and ammunition in time of war
and the sale of surplus power, If a
satisfactory lease could not be OBJ
tanned. however, they favored gov
eminent operation. even If the pro-
duction of fertilizer had to be subsid-
lied with profits from the sale of
power.
Two other members of the commits
sion. Harry A. Curtis, a chemical en-
gfneer of Yale University, and Will
liam Mcclellan, an electrical engineer
of New York were said to be opposed
to substituting fertilizer manufacture
under any conditions, and the former
was represented as opposed to gov
eminent operation of the project. ex-
cept in time of war. Mr. Mcclellan,
however was announced to hold diff
ferent views on government opera
ton.
