 Judge Questions Plaintiff
 Several times while the older Mrs. Murtha was on he witness stand she was put through grueI- ling cross examination by Attorney William E Hagearty, who carried on a lone fight for the defendant. Judge TraCeskI, at times, question ed some Of the statements made by Mrs. Murtha.
 It was shown that the debt owed Mrs. Murtha, ST, was approximately $500 although she was asking for $3,o00 damages. Judge Traceski asked her why she sought S3.004 when the actual indebtedness was far below that amount.
 She said she went to the lawyer and after he had heard her story he made up that amount" The judge said: T don't believe 1t" The plaintiff claimed she had entered an agreement with her daughter-ln-law to care for the 1atter's child while she was not working.

COMMISSION NOT
 ID ACT ON LIQUOR
Wickersham Says Group Will
 Not Advise Nation
CHECKING ENFORCEMENT
Chairman Says Popular Idea That Men Are Studying Theory of Dry Law Wrong-Defciency Bill Re- ported.

Washington, June Il LP) - Any one who thinks the Hoover law en- forcement commission IS going to report on whether prohibition is or IS not a desirable thing for the country is wrong
 The house appropriations com mittee revealed today that Chairman Wickersham thinks there is a very large public misapprehension" of the commissions duties.
 TeStifies on Bill
 Testifying on the second deficiency bill, which carries S25O,GO0 for the Hoover agency, he said there had been attempts ''to cause the com mission 10 take up the study of the problem of prohibition-that is. as 10 the wisdom of the policy of na- ,tlonal prohibition"
 Failing in that the chairman continued, the attempt has been to create the impression in the minds of the country that such was the study which the commission was carrying on"
 Conceding that there has been a difference of opinion among the commission members. Wickcrsham m said f had proceeded on the theory that f should not go behind the 18th amendment" but should decide how best we can enforce it.
 
 Tt has been our view" he ex- plalned that when we came to a thorough inquiry into the problem of the enforcement of prohibition. un- der the amendment and the laws. if We were convinced that prohibi- ton could not be enforced. we ought to say so, and that if We were con- vinced that it was very problemati- cal as to whether it could be en- forced we ought 10 say so.
 Investigates Enforcement
 But, at the same time, up 10 the present, the commission has pro- Ceeded on the theory that our job was 10 see whether the 18th amend ment was being adequately and eff ciently enforced, whether any change in the law was desirable. and what changes, If any, in the laws would best bring about the maximum en- forcement of the provisions of the 18th amendment"
 He predicted the commission s work would be concluded in about q year.
 Studies are now being made of the prison system. the cost and cause of crime, juvenile delinquency. po- lice organizations and management, prosecution, lawlessness of govern ment officials. and the value of state and municipal crime surveys.
 Wickersham disapproved the bill 10 authorize an appropriation of S1,- 900, 900 for world surveys, of rrohi- bition legislation. introduced by Rep resentatIve Andrew, republican, of Massachusetts.
