'.Itten Would Ban Future i Nuptials by Sailing Masters, However. By the Associated Press. !{The stir kicked' up by the legal opinion of the Bhipping Board that American skippers had no Federal au- thority to perform marriage cere- mionies at sea found a quick re- agtion yesterday| on Capitol Hill, where Representa- tive Britten, Re- publican, Illinois, announced he would press for legislation validat- ing beyond ques- ion all such pre- vious marriages, but preventing them in the future. - Commerce partment officials backed up _the Shipping Board opinion, by assert- RepresentativeBritten ing that, so far as Federal authority goes, a stevedore had as much right to officiate at an ogcean wedding as the captain of the Leviathan. However, it was pointed ont, laws of the States where ships were documented might give the cap- ‘tains the legal power to satisfy the wishes of those desiring the romance of sea nuptials. As to the State laws no information was available, and the Department of Justice observed a discreet reluctance to comment on the situation. Mr. Britten objected to what he termed the “glamor” attached to sea weddings. ovie actresses, limelight artists, and others fond of free ad- , “may court the aboard ship, in balloons and in airplanes. Marriages performed under such circumstances have a touch of frivolity and I can see no need in them.” Tt was agreed that the actions of sea. captains in performing such cere- monies was the outgrowth ofan age- old custom. At the Department of} Justice it was said no test of the validity of marriages under such eir- cumstances had ever been made so far as known. In some quarters it was suggested that court action might be necessary to determine the ques- tion finally. NATIONAL U.

At the same time the name of the' school will be changed to that of Etonomics and Government, the change being made in order to de- scribe more correctly the fleld of the work and to include the broader sappe after the reorganization. ‘Many of the courses will be changed irg some degree and new subjects will be offered in several branches, all the changes to take effect at the opening of the Fall term.
