In marrying the Hoovcrs as two nom
Catholics, they said a priest would
simply be exercising the authority con-
ferred on him by the State. in common
with the ministers OF all other religions.
to perform legally valid marriages
1t was pointed out by the Roman
Catholic authorities that priests who
are chaplains in the Army or Navy
often perform marriages for nom
Catholic soldiers or sailors. officiating
in their broad capacity as chaplajns
rather than in their denominational
character as priests.
Such marriage. it was explained.

on Walsh Proposal for Ma
tion-Wide Probe.

By thf Asso"Iited Press.
A decision will be reached tomorrow
as the action to be taken by the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee on
the Walsh resolution advocating a ma
tion-wide congressional investigation OF
the public utilities industry
Senator Walsh. Democrat. Montana,
author of the resolution. yesterday
characterized the storm OF criticism
that 1t has aroused as "a lobby of such
magnitude as l believe has never be-
fore been seen in Washington" He
offered to withdraw his amendment TO
limit the scope Of the inquiry. but urg-
ed authorization OF the investigation
on the ground that State supervision
OF operating companies Is poWerless TO
control the Capitalization of the indus
try which he contends threatens TO
wipe out local enterprise.
William l.. Ransom of the joint COM
mittee of the National Utility Associ-
atoms at a hearing yesterday before
the committee, argued that no case has
been made justifying any investigation
whatsoever: that Senator Walsh's accu-
sations OF overcapitalization in the in
dustry we're unjustified, and that even

The Walsh resolution has been op-
posed throughout the hearing on the
ground that purely intrastate business
Is under municipal and State control
and the legislative power of Congress
extends only TO interstate business.
Senator Walsh himself has conceded
that the power to investigate is lin
tied by the power to legislate," said
Ransom.
Senator Walsh. concedng that there
were some advantages in the big inter-
state holding companies. said there were
many more disadvantages He cited
the tremendous rises in the stocks Of
big gas and electric companies as evi-
dence OF the need for control.
