I (Continued from Page 1) Describing the Connecticut alley flood control problem, he said, "States to the south of us are rather insistent on the construction of huge reservoirs on the tributaries of the Connecticut in Vermont and Congress has already authorized construction of eight dams which our more southern neighbors desire to have built.

ine iaci. mat ine cosi oi a uc- velopment of this nature, with the expense of reservoir sites, the aban- industrial development, relocation of highways and other huge expenses, would run well up into the millions of dollars may be accepted without question. That Vermont woyld be absolutely unable to stand this expense and the sacrifice of our assets, even if partly borne by other states, is also unquestioned, and it Is further true that we ourselves would derive comparatively little benefit from the construction of this reservoir system. Benefits to Other States "There is still another feature of this program which has not made a very prominent public appearance as yet. That Is this: If a series ol storage reservoirs were constructed in Vermont to maintain the summer flow of water in the Connecticut river, the States of Massachusetts, and Connecticut would be enabled to generate electrical energy at a little more than half the cost of producing it here in our State.

It may be readily seen that this would give them a tremendous advantage as regards future industrial developmentf." Concluding his analysis of Connecticut flood control. Gov. Aiken declared. "We wish to remain on good terms with our neighborirg states, but the water power of Vermont is our heritage, a natural resource bestowed upon us even as other states have their natural ad- vantage and I believe this gift should be used primarily for the benefit of our own State and we should not surrender any of it without just re- compense." Attacks Interest "Spread" He attacked the "spread of four per cen between the rate of interest paid depositors and that charged borrowers" by Vermont banks. The situation caused by the persistence of banks in maintaining a four per cent spread, he declared, "is not only unsatisfactory but manifestly unjust, placing many Vermonters at a disadvantage as compared with citizens of other nearby states." Legislators who were questioned about the new governor's direct approach to State problems and his recommendations had nothing but favorable comment to make.

While there will probably be a volume of opposition to various points in Aiken's program when it is considered by the Legislature, tonight there was only praise of the address. Praise Speech Legislators with the experience of many sessions said it was one of the best they had ever heard. Critical Comment Jt wag susgested tnat Governor raising the old age assistance head tax to $3 instead of to $2.75. Some members pointed out that the recommendation of a commission to investigate State- public welfare problems would prove Its value mly through the efficiency of the investigating body. The chief executive's comments about Vermont banks were not expected to be welcomed in banking circles, although observations of similar nature were anticipated in view of previous statements to the same effect by Aiken.

(Associated Press Photo) Colorful Blue Hussar guards were escorts.

Behind the royal coach were three wedding party carriages and the state "glass coach" of Queen Wil-helmina, mother of Juliana, and the Princess Armgard of Lippe-Biesterfeld, Bernhard's mother. Ten thousand soldiers lined the route to check the crowds. After a four-mile drive back to the palace, they departed through a back door to a honeymoon in the Tyrol. They will join in the winter sports, which brought them together, probably at a resort near Innsbruck.

Washington Bystander By KIrk Simpson WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. It might seem beyond the pale of political possibility that a man who had car- ried only two of the 48 states in a Presidential race should be seriously considered for another nomination four years later.

Yet there can be little doube that Governor Alf M. Landon's visit to Washington, primarily to attend a gridiron dinner, although he also paid his respects to President Roosevelt, caught press and probably public fancy. It was a new demon- stration of the same quality of sports- manship that the Kansan displayed i so markedly when lie participated in a droueht -ire during Ihe campaign with Mr. Roosevelt as the central ligure. Gameness is Impressive Governor Landon added to his circle of friends by his Washington visit.

News writers fho met him then for the first time were impressed by his gameness as a loser. It i is rather a pity the gridiron dinner speeches of the President and the Governor are not available for publication under a traditional club rule. That might help answer some of the questions in many minds about Governor Landon's political plans and hopes. From other sources, however, come what seem to be authentic reports that the Kansan proposes to make use of his leadership of his party. I To those who fancied his Washing- ton visit might be a graceful step off the political stage, this must be a i surprise.

Yet it may be argued' that Governor Landon himself is not thinking of building for his own re- i nomination in 1940, but of performing a party service that he alone Is in a position to do. Uncertainty Adds to Tower The victor and the vanquished in i the recent election are in the same position in one way. President Roosevelt's grip on Congress, for instance, probably would be much weakened if he were to say now definitely that he would not run again. By the same token, as long as Governor Landon does not tako himself out of the Republican 1940 nomination picture, he can be a focal point for an effort to rally the party, first for the '38 congressional contests and later for another Presidential bout. This, at least, would seem true: Whether Landon hopes or plans to i run again in '40, as long as he ac-! tively exercises his titular leadership rights, factional cleavages between rivals for that future honor can not add for a considerable time to party complications.

Dipping into 1932 history for a contrast, suppose Hedbert Hoover had taken his defeat in somewhat the same manner Landon has done i and not retired to Palo Alto for nearly a year of self-imposed si-; lence, things might have been a lot different at the Cleveland convention this year.

Conant, manager of the Champlain Valley Milk Producers, last night predicted a return to the chaotic conditions of 1931 in the Burlington milk market if the Vermont Milk Control Board rulings are terminated. Speaking at the annual meeting of the producers organization held at the Sherwood Hotel, Conant. in his annual report declared that the Milk Control Act needed some adjusting to meet the trend of the times, and expressed the opinion that legislation ould be enacted at the present session of the General Assembly to oring the act up to date. He said a greater effort was being made to get a list of "deadbeats" published for distribution among Burlington milk dealers to prevent any further losses by customers who "run up accounts and then change to another dealer when pressed for payment." This is a valuable service rendered by his organization, he asserted. Three Directors Re-elected Gilbert Parizo of Essex Junction.

Willard C. Arms of Burlington and R. C. Towers of Shelburne were reelected directors for the next three years. The nominating committee consisted of Walter Munson of Colchester, Joseph Valade of Burlington and C.

J. Porter of Malletts Bay. Fred C. Fiske presided at the meeting, which was preceded by a dinner served to more than 150 members of the organization and their wives. T.

B. Fitzgerald of Winooski. treasurer, gave the financial report of the association. Dr. H.

B. Ellenberger, head of the department of animal and dairy husbandry at the university, gave a report on the milk consumption survey made in Burlington under an NYA oroject last year and which is still i ic process of tabulation. Nearly Pint Per Person Daily The report covering 3.616 families with 15.237 persons, or an average of 4.2 iwrsons per family, showed that the average consumption of milk was six-tenths of a pint per day per person plus three-tenths of a pint that is used for cooking. This report was the same as the one giving by Dr. Ellenberger at the meeting of the Vermont Dairy Plant Managers Sr Operators Association held at Morrill hall November 18.

The survey showed that 68 per cent of the milk sold in the city was purchased from milk wagons, and 32 "fr cent from retail stores over the ounter with lit'le delivered by stores. L. Paul Chapman of North Willis-ton gave a resume of conditions in he Boston market since the strike between the Whiting Company and the New England Dairies was started in December 1.

Vermont has particular problems which are different from those of other parts of the country, he pointed out in mentioning the necessity for keeping up with "progressive" ideas. "Our problem is: how can we meet the progressive demands of our State without excessive taxation levied upon our citizens," he asserted. Vacancies Filled MONTPELIER.

Jan. 7. As his first duty as governor of Vermont. George D. Aiken, immediately after his inaugural address, sent communications to the Senate and House announcing his appointments to fill vacancies in those bodies.

Leigh Hunt of Rutland was appointed Rutland county senator to fill the vacancy left by the death of Senator Elect Dwight B. Stafford of Wallingford. A 67-year-old farmer. Hunt served In the House in 1933 and in the Senate in 1935. He is a Re publican.

He was not present to receive the oath of office. Another member of the 1935 Senate, Alfred H. Heininger of Burlington, was appointed by Gov. Aiken to take the Chittenden county seat left vacant by the resignation of Earl F. Horsford of Charlotte.

Horsford and Heininger are both Democrats. The resignation was caused by the pressing duties of the unemployment compensation commission to which Horsford was recently appointed. Heininger, who is 50 years old, was Democratic candidate running against Aiken in the November elections. He was seated after being administered the oath of office by Secretary of Senate Ernest W. Gibson, Jr.

In the House Aiken appointed three women to All the vacancies left by the death or illness of their husbands. Mrs. Ella G. Towle of Franklin was 1 appointed in place of her husband, C. L.

Towle, deceased. Hermon M. Crass of Worcester resigned because of illness and his wife. Mrs. Hattie G.

Cross was appointed to succeed him1. Mrs. Delia K. Fish of Ira was appointed to the post of her late husband, Bert S. Fish.

Milk Conference Cancelled A conference of milk producers and Boston distributors, which was expected to be held In the executive office of the State House here tomorrow, has been cancelled. Arthur H. Packard, State Farm Bureau president, announced tonight. Packard said word had been re-, ceived from Boston that the- Hood company representatives would not be here, consequently the meeting could not be held. It had been tentatively arranged at a meeting of producers and dealers' repre-1 sentatives when it was announced that an early settlement of the milk war might be reached.

Says All Were Warned Sheriff Lynch notified his deputies as soon as he received the warrants, and the round-up began. He went to Westford and Milton to supervise the arrests there, while the Burlington warrants were left in the hands of local police officers serving i deputy sheriffs.

All persons arrested had been warn-j by the sheriff's department when complaints against their activities first reached his office, he said. Complaints have been frequent, he added, against places in the northern part the county, while they have been few in the southern part. Persons that sell liquor outside the hnnrt hv the State liQUOr control board or who buy hard stuff the State stores and split it before i re-selling it or manufacture their own alcohol are violating the laws, asserted the sheriff.
