Vermont Governor
Stands Pat.on
States Rights
Hopes President Is Not
Trying to BecIoud
Real Issue, He Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASBOClAC0u 1ScSAs
MONTPELIER, VT, Jan. IA
Standing pat in his give" and
take" battle with the Federal Gov
ernment over States rights, Gov.
George D. Aiken tonight asserted
President Roosevelt was unwilling
to risk" a court test Of the 1898
Flood Control Act.
His statement followed a declara-
ton in Washington by Stephen
Early, presidential secretary, that
the Chief Executive was willing to
drop a proposed $2.O00,0OO flood
control dam on the Ompompanoosuc
River. near the tiny community OF
Union Village, rather than contest
with the State over acquisition of
necessary lands.
IF Vermont doesn't want the
flood control works, 1t doesn't have
to have them," Mr.. Early said.
"Other States want and can use the
money"
Gov. Aiken, a Republican, re-
torted:
Il hope the President is not again
trying to becloud the real issue. It
is not flood control dams that we
oppose. 1t is the surrendering OF
State sovereignty and resources to
the Federal Government as a price
for building these dams that we
object to-"
Change in Law Urged.
The Governor has urged amend
ment of the disputed 1888 act, by
which the Federal Government was
given power to acquire land for
flood control projects.
The nub Of the controversy was
the acquisition of the necessary land
for the Union Village dam site and
reservoir.
The Governor told the Vermont
Legislature earlier in the week. in
effect, that the State was willing
to give" the War Department the
land, through procedure outlined
in written agreement. He branded
as violation of sovereign rights"
however, any effort by the Govern
ment to take" the land through
eminent domain or similar proce-
dure.
Gov. Aiken brought the contro-
versy to head after Secretary of
War Woodring declined to sign the
written agreement, already signed
by Vermont, by which the State
agreed to deed title" of the land to
the Government. Secretary Wood
ring said he was unable to sign be-
cause of unspecified restrictions. :"
Gov. Aiken said later he was
afraid Secretary Woodring hasn't
made complete report to his Com
mander -in-Chief."
"If he had" Gov. Aiken said, "the
President would have found that the
issue is not flood control, because
Vermont has offered its cooperation
for flood control and 1t has been ar
bitrarily refused"
Will Press for Ratification.
The Governor said he would urge
the New England congressional dele
CATION to press again for ratification
of 1887 flood-control compact by
which four Massachusetts
Vermont, Connecticut and New
Hampshire-agreed to share with
the Federal Government the cost of
a huge flood-protection system.
Congress previously refused to ap-
prove the compact.
Gov. Aiken urged his Legislature
to petition Congress to force Secre-
tary Woodring to sign. He asked
and was given by the Legislature
q $67,500 fund "for the defense of
our sovereign rights" Yesterday
New England's five other Repub-
lican Governors backed him with a

By The Associated Press.

by Ine associated PreSS.
COPENHAGEN, JAN 14.-Eighty-
year-old Sailor Prince Valdemar,
who refused the throne of Bulgaria
in 1887 to follow his naval career,
died today of bronchial influenza.
Known also as the uncle of
kings" Prince Valdemar was related
to most of Europe's royal families
: and was a great-uncle of Britain's
King George vi.
His resemblance to the late George
v was so striking that crowds at
the wedding of the Duke and Ouch
ess of Kent in 1884, the last time
Valdemar was in England. mistook
him for the British monarch.
Born october q, 1858, Valdemar
was the son of King Christian TX
and Queen Louise. He was the
youngeft brother of Queen Alex
hndra, wife of Edward VII of Britain
His nickname of uncle of kings"
arose from the fact that at one
time his nephews were on the
thrones of five nations-RusSia,
Norway, Denmark, Greece and Great
Britain.

instances too old to be accepted by
such shops as operators, their un-
fortunate resort must be to relief.
AN incidental hardship is to the
clients, many of whom also are old.
and most of whom are unable or
unwilling to patronize beauty shops
and operators they do not know.
The result of the law is unemploy-
ment and the prospect that it will
impose an additional burden on the
taxpayers of the District.
1--WE believe that the law was not
intended to destroy employment, nor
to take away the means of living of
decent, self-respecting women. 1t
could not have been intended to
make a beauty-shop monopoly of
cosmetology."
Commissioner Hazen said he was
convinced that independent opera
tors, as we'll as those attached to
established shops. should be required
to meet all necessary requirements
as to health and other forms of rea-
sonable control, but that he did not
see why all operators must be at
tached to established shops nor why
home treatments should be barred.
