No progress made in disposal of Muscle Shoals

The Muscle Shoals problem received intermittent attention both in the Senate and House for weeks before the last Congress adjourned. It is understood that the House Military Affairs Committee tried to develop a measure which would have provided for acceptance of a bid from private corporations. Recent hearings were held before the Committee in regard to bids submitted by the Air Nitrate Corporation, the American Cyanimid Company and the Muscle Shoals Fertilizer Company, but no favorable action was taken on any of these proposals.
