Battle Opposes Plan
For Joint Control Of
Chesapeake Waters
BY the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Va. May IA
State Senator John S. Battle said
today he is opposed to the forma-
ton of a joint Virginia Maryland
regulatory body for control Of the
Chesapeake Bay and its tributar-
les.
Such a body has been proposed
by the Chesapeake-P Potomac Study
Commission.
Virginia should control her
own territorial waters" Senator
Battle, a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor
said in statement.
Il see no reason or justififica-
ton for the surrender of any oi
the sovereign rights of the Com
monwealth in these waters.
Virginia should and can work
out her own problems with due
regard for the rights and interests
of all her people"
The Charlottesville Senator
added, however, that ANY reason
able agreement proposed by either
Maryland or Virginia with refer
ence to the Potomac River that
preserves the rights of Virginians
therein will receive my support. -
Senator Battle said he was ''un.-
alterably opposed" to any change
in the Baylor survey Of 1895 which
set the Maryland and Virginia
boundaries Of the Chesapeake Bay
and It's tributaries.
Senator Battle also said the
State must continue to deal re-
alistically with pollution. For
ward strides have been made in
recent years in the treatment and
disposal of waste matter. which at
one time threatened some Of the
most productive oyster ground In
Chesapeake Bay. Much remains
to be done. We must continue
