The inquiry under the resolu-

CONTROL SHIFTED
As the resolution was reported
by the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee it provided that the committee
have control over the entire $780,
900 and that the President could
not allocate any of it except upon
recommendation of the committee
Democratic Leader Barley, Of
Kentucky, was joined by Senator
Norris GRO, Nebraska, in leading
the fight to kill the committees
proposal and give the Executive
the lions share of the expense
money. Republicans voted Solidly
for retention of all control of funds
in the committee.
But back of the battle over who
is to control the expense money
was the issue of whether the PreSi-
dent or the COMMITTEE shall direct
the inquiry.
A compromise group in the Sen
ate was moving for two inveStiga-
tons, one by the Senate and the
other by the Executive branch OF
the Government.
President Roosevelt, in his re-
cent special message to Congress,
recommended that Congress pro-

Department of Justice, Securities
and Exchange Commission and
such other executive agencies as

Instead Of granting that re-

FIFTY SEVEN MARRIAGES
PERFORMED DURING WEEK
Brings November Total To 1853;
New Law Effective December 8

Fifty-seven marriage licenses were
issued during the past week ending
Tuesday noon from the office of the
clerk of the Circuit Court, bringing the
total for November thus far to 153.
Fifteen of those issued were on Satur-
day. One applicant was refused, while
ten of the number were marked
"don't publish"
After December s, a forty-eight
hour delay will be in effect between
the time of application, and the time
of issuance. Just what effect this new
law will have on revenue for the
clerks office, is problematical. For
the past number Of years the revenue
from various fees, after the state 5
share is substracted, was sufficient to
purchase all record books and sup
plies of that nature, relieving the
County Commissioners from this eX-
pense.
The fact that girls may marry
Younger in this state than IN most
nearby states may tend to keep the
number of licenses obtained here over
the 1900 mark, as it was several
years ago before restrictions were
passed in Pennsylvania and West Viz
ginia.
Maryland law permits issuance Of a
license to an 18-year-old girl without
parental consent, while several adj
Joining states require the girl to be q
before a license can be obtained with
out consent. Neighboring states al
so have a waiting period uniformly
longer than that required in Maryland.
There is a three-day wait in PennsyI-
vania and West Virginia, and five
day wait in Ohio. Increase of the
license fee from 50 to So is also seen as
tending to offset any revenue decrease
resulting from fewer licenses.
