NATION MAY RUN
 MUSCLE SHOALS
Government Operation Of Huge
 Plant Widely Advocated
NORRIS CHAMPION OF MOVE
Federal Management of Much Dis cussed Wartime Jtility Urged as Experiment by Many Politicians Several Agree to Support Measure Calling for Temporal Control.

Calling for Temporal Control,
 Washington. Oct. 14.-tP,-Gov- ernment operation Of Muscle Shoals, temporarily at least, looms now as more than a possibility.
 Even some Of those most stoutly opposed to federal ownership of utilities have become weary Of the problem presented by the largest Of the wartime plants and say they are ready 10 vote for government oper- ation for five or ten years.
 Should congress terminate the seven years struggle over disposition of the great nitrate and hydro-elec- tric plant on the Tennessee river in this manner. it would be a victory for Senator Norris, Of Nebraska who has been foremost In the fight 10 prevent sale to a private corporation.
 Urge Temporal ( )ntrol
 The Nebraska senator and others tavoring permanent government i operation are willing to support a measure for temporary control as they believe that the experiment will conclusively prove the force of their argument that federal control will mean cheaper power to consumers and more rapid development of the flXa'on of nitrogen, producing cheap fertilizer for the farmers and ensur- ing wartime supply of this essen tial element Of high explosives. which now must be imported from abroad
 Should government operation prove success, those favoring such control of all hydro electric plants erected on federal projects would have persuasive argument for the application of their plan to other great fields for the generation of hydro-electric power which may be developed in the future.
 Term Undecided
 Just how long the government would operate Muscle Shoals Is one element of the situation which bot th sides to the controversy are giving thought.
 Some others have suggested five years, while others want the mimi mum limit set at ten years, these in- clude Senator Smith. democrat, South Carolina, who has contended that it will take that length of time to develop the best method for the flXation of nitrogen.
 This is only minor detail, how ever. in the whole plan and some Of those who have opposed federal operation are not now inclined to haggle over the matter of a few years more or less
 Their idea Is that while the pov- ernmnnt Is running the big plant. time will be afforded for a more thTough-gong study of it's ultimate disposition and that the way would be better paved for a final disposi- ton Of the problem should federal operation be held to be successful.

 pension.
 Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. 14 P- Fewer drunken drivers going to and rom football games in this state are looked for by Motor Vehicle Con- missioner Robbins B. Stoeckel in an- nouncing today his intentions of curbing this menace on the high ways by suspension of licenses in cases where people driving or "in charge of" motor vehicles are found to be under the influence of liquor.
 Letters to Police
 In letters to be sent to the state police and local authorities where ever there are to be many cars con- centrated for a big game, such as New Haven, the commissioner will set in motion plan more drastic than any undertaken in the past for the police will give special attention to intoxicated occupants of motor vehicles and the names of those ap- prchended while operating the ma chimes or in charge of them will be sent to the motor vehicle Commis- sioner. He will at once suspend their licenses and have those people on record.
 Ruling Is Asked
 A few days ago the commissioner asked the attorney generals office for an opinion as to whether or not the motor vehicle commissioner could give authority to state and local police officers to suspend an operators license at the time of the arrest.
 This was Commissioner Stoeckel's plan as an effective way of keeping some of the drunken drivers off congcsted roads.
 It is understood, however. that the opinion from the attorney gen. erals office will not be favorable to this proposal on the grounds that inasmuch as the authority which the commissioner has to suspend an operators license is discretionary 1t cannot be delegated.
