WOULD GIVE STATE
ST. LAWRENCE POWER
Assistant Secretary Rogers Says
New York Should Handle
Current.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Transfer of power, to be derived from
the st. Lawrence waterway, to New
York State was recommended to Sen
ate Foreign Relations Subcommittee to-
day by Assistant Secretary OF State
Rogers.
"I feel the power can be most easily
turned over to whatever agency the
State Of New York devises as dis
tribution agency" Rogers said.
Therefore. arrangements should be
mace whereby, on the payment OF a
proper proportion of the costs, or some
other business basis, the United States
should look forward to that line OF
action"
Rogers gave four reasons why the
power should go to New York: The
quantity, 10000, 900 installed horse
power, should be kept in public con-
troll; New York has asserted legal
claims to power; it has a clearly bal
anced policy for use Of the power, and
it has the financial strength to handle
the problem.
The question of allocating cost, Rogers
said, should be attacked as "scien-
tif1c or business problem" rather than
as political problem.
