 ernment Wants Electric Power, Dam Ownership

The hearing continued today, with delegatlon of New Englanders present, among them Attorney General Edward J. Daly, appearing for Governor Wilbur L. Gross, and James Newlands. Both are members of the Connecticut interstate coifl- pact commission.
 Before leaving for Washington ct midnight last night. MT. Daly saio We want flood control" He was chairman of the interstate committed which drew up the New England compact.
 Chairman r. c. McNinch of the federal power commission was the first witness ct the opening of the hearings yesterday. The commission has reported unfavorahly on the proposed flood control pacts for the Connecticut and Merrimack rivers but has reported ravorably on the Brown Casey resolution giving the state authority to enter into com. pacts purely for flood control, but with the government in full control of electric power, and land and reservoir ownership.
 The government said MT. Me- Ninch, will contribute about 76 per cent of the necessary funds and therefore 1t would be highly unfair to transfer ownership of such pro- jects to the gtateS.
 Congressman Smith was accom- panied by CongreSsmen Herman P Koppleman and William J. Fitz' gerald of this state.

Wall Street might be puzzled; not Mr..
Lander. That his three campmates were up
to their old tricks upon one another was plain
enough. Each was secretly rigging the market
with view to getting out first and leaving
his friends holding the bag. As a practical
joke. it struck the conservative Mr.. Lander
as being on an exaggerated scale. Someone
was going to get hurt.
Markley was the first to revert to the topic
in public.

in to the dinner table.
AT the time you asked me, was the reply
