THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, IMUSCLE SHOALS ACTION DEMANDED Black Asks Extra Session Unless Legislation Is Forthcoming. By the Assoclated Press. Demand for an extra session of Congress unless Muscle Shoals legis- lation is enacted at this session was made yesterday by Senator Black, Democrat, of Alabama. Senator Norris of Nebraska, author of the Senate bill providing for Gov- ernment,_operation of the power plant, expressed concern at the delay by House conferees in asking for another conference formally to ratify the com- promise agreement decided on earlier in the week. Norris sald “great pressure was being exerted on the House conferees to with- draw approval from the comgpromise.” House conferees explained the delay was merely caused by their failure to come to an agreement over the wording of the clause under which the nitrate plants would be leased for production of fertilizer. They said they hope to get together Monday so another conference with the Senate could be held Monday after- noon or Tuesday morning. The dispute is over how free a hand the President should be given in making the lease. Declaring the South is more inter- ested in the operation of Muscle Shoals for the manufacture of fertilizer than power, Black proposed in the Senate to lease the nitrate plants to a farm- ers’ co-operative association for $1 a year. YeHe sald he would offer his proposal in case the compromise agreement of the conferees should fail. It would provide for Government operation of the nitrate plant if a lease had not been arranged within one year. New ;{ehl Film Reported. N.
