Government in taking over the
property may do so at less than a
fair value. 1t has been shown that
there Is now private property in the
flow of the stream. This has no
assessable value to the riparian
owner.
If the Government were to build
dam it would have to pay the
fair value judicially determined for
the fast land; nothing for the water
power We assume without deciding
that by compulsion of the method
of acquisition provided in section
of the Power Act (recapture clause
section) and the rendered license
these riparian rights may pass to
the United States for less than their
value"
Then, quoting from an earlier
case, the court said this sis the
price which respondents must pay to
secure the right to maintain their
dam"
Justice Reed disposed of the con-
tention of the States that the water
power act infringed on their sover-
eighty with this declaration: AT the
formation of the union the States
delegated to the Federal Govern
ment authority to regulate COM
merce among the States. So long as
the things done within the States
by the United States are valid under
that power, there can be no inter-
ference with the sovereignty of the
State"

PRESIDENT IN
 TOUR OF STATE
Inspection of Plants May Provide Opportunity for
 Informal Visit

Reports that President Roosevelt will visit Connecticut late this month were buzzing through politi- cal circles today. It is said that the President will come to this state for an inspection of plants which produce national defense materials.
 The President, according to the reports, will visit Bridgeport New Haven, Hartford and perhaps Wat erbury during 0ne-day or two- day trip through Connecticut. There has been no official announcement of plans for any such inspection tour, but high circles seem confident that the President will come to this state.
 During the 1936 campaign, Presi- dent Roosevelt received tumultuous welcome during a Connecticut tour. The reception he got was far more enthusiastic than that given this years Republican candidate, Wen- dell Willkie, during his trip through the state on Wednesday of this week.
 The Willkie tour served to whip up Republican interest. and state G. o. P. leaders are seeking to keep enthusiasm at the same high pitch. They are attempting to counteract the defeat psychology engendered by the latest Gallup poll figures, which give Roosevelt 55 per cent of the Connecticut vote and Willkie 45 per cent.
 If the President does come to Connecticut, local party leaders will try to have Waterbury placed on his itinerary.
