Great Power Plant Must Remain Idle
Washington June 10 Proposals by the war department for a temporary Muscle Shoals lease were disapproved by the president's special commission. Acting Secretary Davis said the department would be governed by the commission's recommendation and referred the matter to the army engineers for study. The unanimous decision cited that a temporary lease could delay final policy by Congress and allow a leaseholder to establish a foothold on the site. The commission expects the Muscle Shoals plant ready for operation when Congress convenes in December.
