OPPOSITION TO
SENATE POWER
PROBE CROWS
Foes of Walsh Quiz Rally to
Move to Let Trade Group
Make Inquiry.
BY KENNETH CRAWFORD
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Op-
position to the Walsh resolution for
senatorial investigation Of the pub
lie utilities industry appeared gain
ing strength today in the Senate.
Forces attempting TO defeat it
were rallying to the support of an
amendment by Senator George
Dem), Georgia, providing that the
investigation be conducted by the
Federal Trade Commission.
Senator Walsh Oeln), Mon
tana, author Of the original
resolution, and those supporting
him are opposed to the George
amendment.
"Any investigation by the Senate
would be a political investigation"
George said. investigators would
be more concerned with politics
than with facts. The Federal Trade
Commission can conduct an in,
yestigation free from political in
huence.
Effect on Securities
'"The sensational nature Of a
senatorial investigation, further
more, would be certain to have an
adverse affect on public utility
securities. Suspicion would be cast
upon the entire industry by the
mere fact that it was under in
yestigation.
"Public utility stocks are widely
distributed, many of them among
small holders. These small investors
would be the ones to suffer"
Georges argument against the
Walsh resolution is substantially the
same as that advanced by opponents
Of the measure at hearings before
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee, which reported it fav-
orably.
81 Watson FavOrS George
The witnesses added legal argu-
5nents, however, questioning the
constitutional right of the Senate
to conduct the proposed investiga-
ton, claiming it would be an in
fringement on the rights of States.
Many Democrats believe the
Walsh resolution constitutes a
threat against State rights.
q Senator Robinson, Arkansas floor
leader, has announced he will sup
port the George amendment when
the resolution comes up for conSid-
Grafton Monday.
Senator Watson, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Committee,
has also come out for it.

Entrancing Notes
 For '49 Jamboree

Those who happened to drop in to the Seward Athletic Club build ing last evening were for awhile transported to the States thru the medium of a loud speaker which was erected during the day for the dance tomorrow night at the Days of 49" entertainment.
 Words fail to describe the sur prise in store for the public from this source alone; the hook-up put to shame any radio reception ever heard by the writer over the radio. The deep tones vibrated the very floor; each and every in- strument was as clear as and dis tinct as if a large orchestra were before one.
 In order that the public may more fully appreciate the musical treat the hall will be open for a short time this evening. It is going to be difficult proposition to hold 'em down tomrrow night once a person listens in to this most out standing event in the musical his- tory of Seward.

Excellent Baseball
 Play At Liberty

Now that baseball interest is at its height throughout the States the play at the Liberty last night is right in order ana proved to be ex- ceptiona1 entertainment, Although there is but little baseball in Alaska to sustain ones interest it is not believed an audience anywhere would have been keener in appre- citation than the people at the theatre who saw Monte Blue act the part of a pitcher in our great national game. The Bush Leaguer" was certainly a good feature and those who were there enjoyed it as they would had they been person ally at one of the great league games. It is the first time Monte's new leading lady has been here; she has a very attractive smile.
