Feb. 10—Delays estimat- ed from six months to' a year or more probably will be encountered by govern- t officials before they are in a posi- tion to turn over the ni -ate plants. pov er stations and water dams at Muscie Shoals, Alabama, to Henry Ford, should his proposed contract for their purchase and lease for a period of 100 years be accepted. Despite the most expeditio action by congress in the event it au- thorizes the war secretary to accept the contract, it was estimated today by mem- bers of the house military committee at- tending hearings on the Ford offer that such a delay was apparently inescapable. Questions were raised at the hearing today by committeemen which in the opinion of some with long experience in legal matters wowd necessarily <have to| ba solved by tie courts, irrespective of congrest fer was rejected. These involved the delivery of clear titles to-Mr. Ford of government-owned properties connected with ‘the Muscie Shoals project but which are located on iands privatgly owned and whose owners claim they ‘have lezal opiions for the purchase of the buildings which they in- tend to exercise RAILWAYS IN CORK SEIZED BY EMPLOYES Corl, Feb. 10 (By the A.

No opposition was encountered by the strikers, whose ofl cials installed themselves in the board room of the stations. Pickets outside prevented newspapermen from entering.

Washington, Feb. 10.—The attitude of France towards the proposed economic and financtal conference at Genoa next month has vesulted in further postponing the decision of this government on the invitation to participate, it was learn- ed today in official circles. According to an announcement at the White House last Tuesday, America's reply to the in- vitation, which was received some weeks ago from the premier of Italy, was to have been made pul today. ‘The request of Premier Poincare that the conferemce be postponed at leamt three monts, so that more careful ad- vance preparations could be mads, it was understood was received here during the day.
