MUSCLE SHOAL PLAN OF HOOVER
 LOOKS FAILURE
Bids for Leasing the Plant Were Few and COmnlis- sion Is Still Working
By THOMAS l.. STOKES United Press Stan Correspondent

Washington, Sept - (UP) - President Hoover's plan for solving the controversial and long-standing Muscle Shoals problem through a commission was carried a step fur ther to-day, but with little pros- pect of any success
 Bids for leasing the giant power and nitrate plants the government built in Alabama during the war were to be opened by the joint commission appointed by MT Hoover. The task was delegated to a commission, for the second time. by the president when he vetoed the Norris government operation bill passed by the last congress.
 only half a dozen bids were sub mitted, though the commission sent out invitations to 132 corporations.
 The commission of nine mem bers, composed of three members each appointed by the governors of Alabama and Tennessee and three appointed by President Hoover, has no authority beyond receiving bids and making recom- mendations to the president. While MT Hoover has power under the general leasing act to negotiate a lease through the war department, 1t is not believed he would authorize any lease without further instructions from congress. Henry Ford, who submitted the first private offer for the Muscle Shoals properties 10 years ago, was among the 1S2 who were invited to bid. While the commission could not divulge who the bidders were prior to the opening. it was indic- ated Ford was not among them. Among others asked to submit 1 leasing offers were General Motors I Company, F.. l. Dupont de Nemours and Co.,. Union Carbide Company. Bethlehem Steel Company, the Mellon-controlled Aluminium Com pany of America, General Electric Company, Commonwealth Edison Company, Goodyear Tire and Rub- Der Company. United States Steel Corporation. Stone and Webster. Western Electric Company, Vest inghouse Electric and Manufacture ing Company. the American Cyana- mid Company. which has sought to lease the properties for several years, and a number of southern power companies.

FLYERS FAVORED
 SAFETY RATHER
 THAN SWEETNESS
Many of the Birdmen Pro- tested at Cleveland Meeting Against Unfair- ness of Handicaps
By JOHN OWEN

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Cleveland, Sept 1-CUP)-Fly- CTS competing in the 1891 national sweepstakes derby, were on record to-day as favoring safety rather than speed as a means of promot- ing commercial aviation.
 The derby flyers met here at the opening of the fourth day of the national air races to discuss plans for the next transcontinental der by. The controversial subject of handicap derbies or straight speed dash across the country arose.
 Answering charges that the ham dicap race is unfair to pilots with faster planes, Mrs Florence Barnes. Santa Monica, chairman, said the race was to attract attention to aviation as safe means of trns- portation.
 lover fifty planes raced across the country without mishap," Mrs Barnes said. That means some- thing for aeronautics. The race was not to the swift, but to the most skillful pilot and navigator" ,"
 Mrs Gladys O'Donnell of Long Beach, Cal, pilot of the plane rated the fastest in the handicap event, led opposition to handicap racing. She charged the race which ended here Sunday was unfair, and that her plane, rated at I'll miles an hour, was capable of only 164 miles at top speed.
 The California flyer told the United Press she was forced to withdraw from the race at East St Louis when officials threatened to disqualify her after she had pro- tested her handicap.
 The entire army pursuit squad ron of 72 planes was to arrive to- day from Selfridge field for tacti- cal maneuvers. Twelve naval pat rol boats" were to follow the army's amassed aerial strength in review before the air show grand stand. The navy's flying boats were to leave Rockaway, N. r., where flight from Norfolk, Va.
 To-day was Italian day at the races, with special tribute to Lieu tenant Colonel Mario de Bernardi, Italian member of the internation- al team of exhibition flyers, whose aerial stunts have been a daily feature of the race program. The Italian air king yesterday revealed plans for a nonstop fligth from Cleveland to Rome.

Many of the almost 200 who at

prices improved during the afternoon
and the days average was $7.37 per
