OPPOSITION TO SENATE POWER PROBEJROWS Foes of Walsh Quiz Rally to Move to Let Trade Group Make Inquiry. BY KENNETH CRAWFORD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Opposition to the Walsh resolution for senatorial investigation of the public utilities industry appeared gaining strength today in the Senate. Forces attempting to defeat it were rallying to the support of an amendment by Senator George (Dem.), Gorgia, providing that the investigation be conducted by the Federal Trade Commission. Senator Walsh tDcm.), Montana. 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 investigation free from political influence. Effect on Securities “The sensational nature of a senatorial investigation, furthermore, 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 investigation. “Public utility stocks are widely distributed, many of them among small holders. These small investors would be the ones to suffer.” George’s argument against the Walsh resolution is substantially the name as that advanced by opponents of the measure at hearings before the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, which reported it favorably. ?: Watson Favors George The witnesses added legal arguments, however, questioning the constitutional right of the Senate to conduct the proposed investigation, claiming it would be an infringement on the rights of States. Many Democrats believe the Walsh resolution constitutes a threat against State rights. Senator Robinson, Arkansas floor leader, has announced he will support the George amendment when the resolution comes up for consideration Monday. Senator Watson, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee, has also come out for it. HOOSIER AGAIN WINNER Indiana Student Will Represent Wittenberg in Oratory. By Times Special SPRINGFIELD. Ohio.

Little Miss Betty Jennis of city hospital is not giving proof th#t she has acquired the harmful habit of thumb-sucking. She graciously consented to be snapped in her favorite pose to show her approval of a recent statement made by Dr. A. A. Brill, psycho-analyst of New York, who contends that instead of being harmful, the thumb-sucking habit is one of baby’s chief means of developing ego. According to the doctor its the same pleasure that a man gets when he chews on a cigar. So Betty's doing all she can to keep the old ego up to par.
