New Battle on St. Lawrence Looms
Albany reports the New York State Power Authority backs swift approval of the St. Lawrence Seaway Power project and opposes a portion of the plan.

Bonbright leads the two man authority as it presses hearings and state support for the Seaway.

Brig. Gen. Ogden J. Ross of Troy, newly discharged after World Wars, is named as a suggested candidate for New York governor by Democratic leaders led by John B. Judge.

Compensation Court Site Considered for Troy District
A representative of the State Labor Department said Troy’s compensation court, with its 38 division, seeks a permanent address. The Health Center quarters are inadequate and disrupt health department work when court sessions occur. Officials favor moving the court to new quarters to avoid corridor congestion and interference. Hearings may be held elsewhere under proposed legislation.
