'DRY' EDUCATIONAL
 PROGRAM PLANNED
Wheeler to Put Nation "Knee
 Deep" in Facts, He Says

New York, Dec. CP-Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, forecasts an ed- ucational campaign directed in part against any wet candidate for pres ident in 1928. that will "sow the nation knee deep in facts on the benefits of prohibition.
 Speaking at dinner given by the New York Economic club here last night, MT. Wheeler declared state executives who aid in the repeal of state enforcement laws can never be trusted to enforce the constitution of the United States in the White House." and his assertion was con- sidered a reference to Gov. Alfred E. Smith.
 The new dry campaign" said Mir. Wheeler. Twill SOW the nation knee deep with facts on the economic. moral and social benefits of prohibit tion, and public sentiment will be aroused until reputable citizen will no more think of speaking of bootlegger than he would of his horse thief"
 State referendum elections with no legal or binding effect will be ig- nored," he said. and the drys will continue to nominate and elect dry congressman"
 Lincoln C.. Andrews, assistant sec- retary of the treasury, and Prof. Irving Fisher, professor of econom- ics at Yale university, also advocated dry law enforcement, while Assem- blyman Phelps, who assisted in drafting the prohibition referen- dunn adopted in New York state at the last election. voiced the opposi- tion.
 MT. Phelps declared that most of the people, certainly in New York state. were opposed to the dry laws. "all excepting bootleggers and the drys." States should be allowed to define for themselves the word ''in- toxicating," he said. drawing par allel from federal bankruptcy law provisions. "The law as 1t stands" he concluded. "has caused a crime wave all over the country and dis respect for all law" He declared that legalization of wine and beer would eliminate stronger drink and provide revenue for the government.

FACES 20 YEAR SENTENCE

New York, Dec. 1.-Pl- Daniel Serota, 34, was convicted of first de- gree assault in Brooklyn supreme court yesterday in connection with an attack last June 29 on Miss Grace Mehl, school teacher. Miss Mehl is a sister of John Mehl, wealthy Canar- sic farmer who mysteriously disap- peared after leaving the Mehl home with Serota.
 Miss Mehl charged that her brothers disappearance and the at tack upon her were part of plot to obtain the Mehl property, which she and her brother inherited and which is estimated to be worth more than $40,000. Serota was identified by Miss Mehl as being one of two men who shot and beat her at her home in Brooklyn.
 Serota faces 8 20 year term when sentence is imposed Monday, having been convicted of grand larceny in 1918.

practical to go forward instead of backward" He said that divorces granted for drunkenness had been cut one-half since passage of the eighteenth amendment.
 General Andrews appealed for more public and state cooperation in the enforcement of the national dry laws.
 Congressman Hamilton Fish. Jr., in letter to George K. Morris, chairman of the New York state re- publican committee, predicts the coming presidential campaign will be fought out on the prohibition question with Gov. Smith the can didate of the democratic party. He warned his party that it is courting disaster by straddling on the en- forcement question declaring that inevitably the republican party in the nation will stand squarely on the rock of enforcement"
 Judge George w. Olvany. Tam many chief, believes the wet and dry question will be the chief issue of the democratic national conven- tion in 1928. Smith enthusiasts in many states, the judge said, have asked Tammany to organize sup port for the New York governor as a candidate for the nomination.

Players to Hold Dance
 To Buy Gold Footballs

Members of the New Britain high school championship team have de- c.ded that, since athletic authorities at the Senior high school have re- fused to award them gold football emblems in token of their work as representatives of the school, they will hold a dance probably about Christmas to bring about enough revenue to buy the emblems.
 Within a short time the players are planning on going to the mer- chants of the city to ask each to contribute toward paying the ex- penses of the dance. It is expected that the merchants will cooperate since each will be asked only for a small share of the total expenses which is expected to amount to about S100. Albert Fengler, quar- terback, is In charge of arrange ments. Those who will benefit by the movement are Captain Claire, Matulis, Zaleski, Fengler, McGrath, Bruce, Erickson, Brombergi Ansel- mo, Zehrer and Gordon of the regu- lars; Landino Carlson and Scully of the substitute team; and Managers Levitt and Morin.
