LAW COMMITTEE , STILL UNDECIDED Wickersham Group Reported Not
 All Of One Mind

Washington, Oct 2S (R - The variance Of conditions prevailing un- der the prohibition law in different sections of the country is proving psoblem to President Hoover's law enforcement commission.
 Not only do the multitudinous prohibition reports now in the hands of the ten men and one woman on the commission show varying results In scattered sections of the nation but they reveal fuctuating condi- tions in the same localities.
 2 Despite the problems besetting fhem, however. there is evident determination within the ranks of the commission members to get the job of reaching a decision on the prohibition question over with as early as possible. There is every ex- pectaton here that the report-or yeports-will be ready for consider .1tion by President Hoover and con- gross before the end of the year.
 Many Surprises
 The marked fluctuations are among the surprises encountered in the commissions long investigation. Some of the members concede pri- Vately that their views on prohibit tion conditions have changed, al- though none says whether this rhange has been for or against the ten year old dry law. Moreover, they concede their views change back and forth as new reports shed new light.
 The members are spending their recess period digesting these reports. Tho reports are so voluminous that the index alone consumes 146 type written pages. On November 5, the day after the congressional election, the commission reassembles and the adoption of report on prohibition Is the order of business.
 If the commission has a common mind on prohibition there has been !, no suggestion of it. There is an obvious effort on the part of the group to keep open minds pending the forthcoming discussions in executive session. One or two mem bers have indicated reaching a con- clusion, but there has been no effort whatever by any group to unite be- hind a single proposition.
 Chairman George w. Wickersham headed the subcommittee which delved into the prohibition situation and directed the gathering of facts. He is expected to take the lead when the task of drafting report is attempted.

LEVITT ATTACKS
 R0RABACK SPEECH
Says Sneering Reference to Cross
 Cost COP. Votes

New Haven, Oct. 2S (UP)-Pro- lessor Albert Levitt, unsuccessful in eurgent candidate for nomination for governor, has made public a letter to J. Henry Roraback. state repub- 7ican chairman, in which he asserts that Rorabacks recent personal at tac,j on Dr. Wilbur L. Cross has in duced him to vote for the democratic candidate for governor.
 Your recent personal attack upon Dean Cross, democratic candidate for governor of Connecticut, was in such bad taste and did so much harm to the republican party of Connecticut . that in my opin- ion2 all selfrespecting members of the republican party are released from any allegiance to the candi- dates for office picked by you,' said LeTitt's letter.
 Levitt repeated Roraback's re- marks, as quoted by a newspaper, 3n which Cross was termed the dear old gentleman down at Yale' erd which inferred the democratic candidates interest in old age pen sions was motivated by self interest.

The patrons OF the Capitol
Theatre VIII be much pleased with
the offering, Pointed Heels" there
Wednesday. And well they might,
for this production has all the re-
quired ingredients Of first class en-
tertainment. There is clever acting,
interesting plot and much first
rate comedy In 1t.
William Powell runs off with the
acting honors in the production.
He is the suave man-about-town
and producer Of artistic stage re-
vues who forms the third side to
the romance triangle Of which Fay
Wray and Phillips Holmes are the
other oomponentS. Miss Wray is
the show girl who Iarries Holmes,
the youthful song-compoSer. Their
married happiness Is almost curdled
by the Vaccinations OF the urbane
Powell. but at the finish the lyric
admixture is cleared by a surprise
twist in character on the part Of
Powell who turns out to be not a
villain, but just a demi-villain after
all.
In brief ii Is as simple as all
that-but in the audible celluloid
unwinding OF 1t Pointed Heels" Is
intensely gripping at all times, even
when Helen Kane and "SkeetS'
Gallagher. a movie song and
dance team, r putting over their
amusing mummery. One never
knows just what turn the fortunes
Of all will take at each moment Of
the play-and that is the proof Of
good entertainment.
