Norris Bill Seeks Federal Control of Muscle Shoals
The Norris bill would create a federal chemical corporation to own Muscle Shoals properties, manufacture fertilizer and sell it to farmers, with nationwide selling agencies to curb price and monopoly. It would also permit manufacture of explosives for the army and navy, and allow presidential takeover in war. A Ford bid amendment was blocked and Norris was offered as a substitute, impacting upcoming senate votes.
