POWER STAND Holds State Should Have Control Over Electricity of . St. Lawrence Project. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 12—The ex- tent of the Federal Government’s right to regulate the development and disposal of electrical energy from water power in an individual State was questioned yes- terday by the head of Gov. Roosevelt's Power Commission. The issue was raised in a letter Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the power au- thority of the State of New York, wrote to Secretary of State Stimson regarding the St. Lawrence River power develop- ment, which for months has been the subject of a controversy in which Presi- dent Hoover and Gov. Roosevelt have figured. Walsh refei.ed to “apparent inconsis- tencies” in & cormunication he had re- ceived from Secretary Stimson, and asked the Federal Government to com- mit itself definitely on whether it stood ready “to recognize the sole ownership of the State of New York in the waters of the St. Lawrence River within its boundaries * * * as well as its right to develop and dispose of hydroelectric power derived therefrom.” Last week Secretary Stimson wrote: “Whatever the rights of the State of New York may be in respect to any Burchell’s Famous Bougquet Coffee A Superh Blend electric power development in the navi- gation project along the international boundary, utilization of that electric m:':ug:‘;film fl:’e end depend upon: 'y an rmission of the Federal Govem|mm.""e To which Mr. Walsh replied today: This sentence seems to be open to the interpretation that the United States Government, after discharging its duty and exhausting its authority with respect to the improvement of navigation and commerce along the river, and the protection of traffic thereon, possesses additional authority over the development and disposal of the electric energy to be generated. “The assumption of such authority by the Federal Government would amount to a denial of the sovereign and proprietary interest of the State K‘l the. vélt:;‘r: lol the St. Lawrence ver, an ands lying th wlhhhl(n its boundaries. i “‘Moreover, such an interpretation would be in derogation of thg will of the people of the State.” SR g o PLAN SKIT OF RADIO Men's Club in St. Stephen Church to Mimic Broadcasters. A skit known as “Impersonation of Radlo Broadcasters” will be given to- night at a meeting of the Men’s Club in St. Stephen and the Incaraation Church, Sixteenth and Newton streets. The program will be directed by S. Percy Oliver, chairman of the Enter- tainment Committee. Dr. A. T. Tub- man, chairman of diocesan affairs, will serve refreshments.
