RADIO-TELEPHONE WEDDING
QUESTION OF LEGALITY RAISED LONDON, August 30. The first transatlantic radio-tele-phone wedding ceremony ever arranged from London was concluded in a 12minutp call costing £l2 by Lieutenant Ediward Trieviz, U.S.A.A.F., to Mary Ellen McKenzie, 4,000 miles away in Indiana. United States Army officials are puzzled about the legality of the wedding. • The fact that an army chaplain conducted the service at the London end did not legalise the marriage. He would be acting only as a witness. The Indiana State marriage laws will have to settle the question.
