MS IW SELL SHOALS POWER TO PEOPLE OE SOOTH WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Secre tary Weeks disclosed today that he ' was taking steps to ascertain the ! scope of his authority to contract | for the temporary disposition of [ power generated at the Muscle ' Shoals nitrate plant, should congress fail to make final disposition of the plant prior to she completion of the power units. The war secretary is confident that if he has legal power to do so, he can make advantageous contracts with nearby power com panies to take the bulk of the power output which is to be developed. The power plants at Muscle Shoals are rapidly nearing completion and unless congress acts during the com ing short session upon'pending leg islation to make final disposition of the whole project, the war secretary faces the probability that he will have on his hands completed power units which must stand idle unless he has authority to operate them and lease the output or to lease them for operation. He, therefore, has asked Major General Hull, the judge advocate general of the army, to furnish him with an opinion as to his legal pow ers. If opinion should hold that he has not the authority to make such temporary contracts for power as he has in mind, Mr. Weeks prob ably will ask congress to confer the power upon him by resolution when it appears that the Muscle Shoals legislation is not to be completed during the short session. While there may be some diffi culty about finding temporary mar kets for all of the power the Muscle character usually mean that the power companies are known to be prepared to take a very large part of it. The form of contract for such leases would be for short term of a year or so, the contracts containing a revocable clause which could be applied in the event of an unexpect ed development at any time for the permanent disposition of the whole plant. Short term contracts of this price received for the power would price received for he power would be a little less than could be obtani- I ed on a long term lease without the revocable feature except in cases of national emergency. Mr. Weeks has noticed that with the approaching opening of the short session of congress, and with the Muscle Shoals legislation first in or der of business on the senate calen dar, there has been a revival of talk about the Muscle Shoals project, manifested by the number of callers at his office who mention that sub ject. He had an appointment today with Elon H. Hooker, of New York, one nf the men interested in one of the many bids now before con gress. The war secretary also has heard that a member of the senate has evolved an entirely new plan with relation to Muscle Shoals since congress adjourned, but he refused to give either the name of the sena tor or the nature of the new plan so far a s he may know it.
