 Doman and Zeno were mentioned in Vivian Gordon's diary as two men whom she feared, and some investi- gators suspect that Doman's car was the one used by the slayers.

There Are Also the Old Re- ports on Al Smith and Roosevelt Differing on That Point Southern Democrats of Course Op= pose Any Dry or Wet De- cisiOn at This Time
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER United Press Staff Correspondent.

Washington, March 5.-UP)-
 Fears of another fatal schism like the one which brought disaster in 1928 presidential struggle hung with sobering effect over the meeting of the democratic national committee
 here to-day.
 Reports that an effort would be made to commit the party organiza- tion to repeal of the 18th amend ment have brought torrent of pro- test from prohibitionists and anti prohibitionists alike, the length and breadth of tho country.
 The issue is whether the party shall fight out now it's internal diff ferences over prohibition or let mat ters drift and hope for some solu- ton at the national convention next year. Feeling has become so bitter that one member of the national committee has hinted at a possible fight to force the immediate resig- nation of John J. Raskob as chair man.
 Criticism of Raskob has been harsh during the last few weeks as one southern democrat after an- other has denounced him. On the other hand, the man who properly commands broader personal loyal ty within the party than any other figure, former Governor Alfred E..
 Smith. is here in person prepared to fight for his protege.
 Smith plainly indicated on the eve of the meeting that he was ready for fight and there was a gleam
 of the old fire horse in his eye when he said it.
 Harmony in 8 democratic meet ing?" he echoed. T never heard of such thing"
 Smith repeated his opinion that no harm can come to the party from frank discussion of issues. Re- garding a presidential candidate.
 however, he refused to be drawn out, saying 1t was a matter "that must be decided by the convention"
 Raskob has another effective lieu tenant on hand in James M. Cox of Ohio, presidential candidate in 1920. Cox, who favors repeal of the 18th amendment with a concurrent prohi- bition of private traffic in intoxi- cants, described prohibition as "a question that will be here until it is settled"
 The daring strategy involved in to- days meeting is generally attributed to Raskob, a newcomer in politics. Although long q member of the Re- publican Union League club of Phil adelphia. his chief political activities
 had been confined to work as a di-
 rector in the association against the prohibition amendment until Smith
 took him from high executive post
 in General Motors to manage the 1928 democratic campaign. The committee was called here to
 consider means of financing the par ty, which now leans chiefly on the strength of Raskob's personal re-

Chicago. March 5-(UP)-Appli- cation of the laws of Mendel to de- eide whether blue-eyed parents can have brown-eyed children suffered at least three scientific setbacks to- day. but remained factor in the legal fight over the $1,OO0,O00 estate of George w. Longley, Chicago hat manufacturer.
 Living proof of the existence of blue-eyed parents with brown eyed children, explaining that Mendel's laws of inheritance applied only to plants. and the statement that the medical fraternity .does not accept Mendelian law", were introduced in- to Judge Michael Feinberg's court room where brown-eyed George Adair Longley was seeking to prove that he might have been the son of the manufacturer and his first wife, both of whom had blue eyes.

Reports Of Discord Among Democrats As
 Committee Starts
Many Rumors About Hard Feelings Over Prohibition and Proposal to Have Committee Decide It Now

sources, and also to consider party policies looking to next years pres idential campaign.
 The policy of chief concern to many democrats is prohibition. Ras- kob has been represented by many critics as attempting to force the party to turn solidly against the 18th amendment. Those favoring this course believed it would in- sure carrying eastern states es- sential to victory. Dry southern staes would be expected by this group to register some opposition, but they apparently believe nothing iexcept the religious issue would drive any southern states itno the republi- can column.
 Furthermore, the prohibition re- peal argument would be given a strong states rights tinge. While this controversy has ragged furiously, Raskob has maintained unbroken silence. He has spent much time, however. preparing a statement for the committee to-day.
 The violent force of the contro- versy appears to have driven apart the famous New York team of Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt, although ucHicu llcIc tIldt Ile WAS dL odds with his successor as govern or.
 However, Roosevelt through his democratic state committee has gone strongly in opposition to any party commitment at to-day's meet ing.
 It is significant that Roovevent has sent his personal political rep resentative, James A. Farley, demo- cratic state chairman, down to the meeting, hut will not attend him. self The situation gained signi- ficance from the fact it is the gen. eral belief in political circles that Raskob is not enthusiastic over Roosevelt as presidential possibil- ity.

moose of clothesline tightly about Vivian Gordon's throat last week and left her lying dead at roadside. Not in years has the nations larg- est city, long inured to the most sinister aspects of crime. become so aroused against the conditions ouc of which the Gordon murder and countless other killings in recent times have grown. Startled first, then disgusted, by the revelations of corruption, graft and racketeer- ing brought out recently in a series of investigations, it needed only the double tragedy of the last few days to awaken it to the real menace of it's citadel of crime.
 Mayor James J. Walker himself took the lead today in a revived campaign to drive out the elements which have been responsible for , well-planned underworld schemes and acts of terrorism.
 'I have been shocked by the stor- les of innocent women being fram- ed," he told a group of crime pre- vention leaders gathered to learn what is wrong with the system of vice suppression. We not only do | not want vice. but we are determined not to have it."
 There were dely-circulated re- ports that Governor Franklin b. Roosevelt likewise had been moved by the events of the last few days and had ordered a complete report on the Gordon murder investigation. The mayor has been assailed in edi- torial columns for months about the lassitude of police and public prose- cutors in criminal cases.
 Meanwhile, however, there ap- peared to be scarcely any immediate prospect of tracing the Gordon kill CT. District Attorney Mclaughlin, who has taken vigorous command oi the case from the first, admittedly was baffled by the many turns the inquiry has taken.
 We have opened up many leads, he said, "but as far as real progress Is concerned, we have made very little."

NARCOTIC EVILS
 WILL BE FOUGHT
 BY WlCKERSHAM
C Commission Will Deal With That Separately-Judge Cornelius F. Collins of N. Y. Submits His Report

Washington. March 5.-(UP)- Members of the Wickersham com- mission had before them to-day a concrete plan for dealing with the narcotic evil and a proposal that 1t be embodied in a separate report to President Hoover.
 The plan was submitted by the New York narcotic survey committee headed by Judge Cornelius F. Collins of the court of special sessions in New York city. Former United State Attorney Charles H. Futile pre- scented the plan, which proposed to set up committees of officials and welfare workers in each of the na- tion's 91 judicial districts.
 The number of narcotic addicts is so large as to constitute a "serious social peril" Judge Collins said. citing figures to show the close re- lationship between crime and nar- cotics. He asserted 40 per cent of the prisoners committed to New York city penal institutions are drug addicts. Narcotic law violators are increasing in New York at a rate of per cent annually, he said.

Do the Fat
 Love Fat?
 If not, there is small excuse for excess in these scientific days

Science has determined that excess fat is largely due to weakened thyroid gland. That gland secretion is a premier factor in nutrition. It helps turn food into fuel and energy which otherwise goes to fat.
 After countless experiments on animals and human beings, the consensus of opinion is that this lacking factor must be fed. Physicians the world over now accept that doctrine and employ it. As result, excess fat has disappeared by tons in late years. And without starvation, over-ex- ercise or harmful drugs.
 Marmola prescription tablets appeared on the verge of this discovery. A world famous medical laboratory prepares them to accord with modern science. People have used them for 24 years millions of boxes of them. And nobody needs be told that excess fat has largely disappeared.
 Ask your friends who know whae Marmola does. You cannot do that by starvation. Look about you and sec the revolution it has wrought. Why doubt a help which, for 24 years, has done what Marmola has donei
 Go get box. Read the book in it, con taining the formula and all reasons for results. When your weight comes down and new vim appears, you will know why the results are good.
 Don't wait longer. Marmola costs only Sl box at your drug store. The purpose is to correct an abnormal condition. Learn what it means to you in new beauty, new health and vim. Then please tell others.
