 Sundays new show will be head lined by the dramatic smash hit Let Them Live"
 The story reveals several startling situations, developing from the fact that a judge leaves all his possess sions to a young doctor who attends him in his last illness.
 The judge gives a sworn con- fession to the doctor, setting forth the conditions of graft which grip the city. When the doctor finds he cannot get proper equipment to take care of the sick people of the town, he uses that confession to compel the political bosses to provide necessary material.
 Tn retaliation they charge him with blackmail and throw him into jail.
 Events from this point lead on tc an exciting breath-taking climax.
 The leading role is played by John Howard. The girls who win his admiration are Nan Grey and Ju- dith Barrett.
 The companion feature will be "As Good as Married" the story oi a marriage for convenience. The cast includes John Boles, Doris Mo- Ian, Walter Pidgeon, Tala Birell Ernest Cossart and Alan Mowbray

 Playhouse Abandoned Now
 The great stone house at Po- cantico Hills, near Tarrytown, N. Y, is now a melancholy center point of the 5,000-acre estate set up there by the first Rockefeller. The elaborate playhouse built by John D. Jr, for his now-grown children is abandoned. There is more than a possibility that the vast estate will be turned into park, and that the Easements at Ormond, Fla. and probably the elab- crate home at Lakewood, N. J., may be abandoned. The somewhat baron- ial dream of the first Rockefeller of a family colony at Pocontico Hills seems out of key with the present family.
 Even the town houses" in New York are to be abandoned and torn down for real estate development. For years they stood in 54th street the tall limestone home of John D., Jr., and the old fashioned brown | bGOlle IlOiilt Ol OOIlll O., IoL., WILL AIo stables and garden still standing on priceless land like the rear-guard of a time and generation that are re- treating The Rockefeller, Jr's are taking this fall 15-room apartment in a towering new limestone build- ing on upper Park Avenue.
 The site of the old brownstone house, with other land worth $1,000- 000 is to be given by Mrs. Rocke- feller to the Museum of Modern Art, of which she is one of the lead- ing sponsors.
 Like this change from a 5000-acre Poconto Hills to city apartment is the change that is coming to the vast fortune accumulated by the first Rockefeller. Higher taxes take in- creasing toll each year, and the de- mands of scientific philanthropy continue to eat away the fortune in great chunks. With the prospect of eventual division among the six chil- dren and their children, it is prob- ably true that the end of the Rocke- feller fortune as Americas out- standing accumulation of private wealth is in sight.

Laurance got the job under the name of Larry Spelman. and worked at 1t for some time before being publicly discovered as a Rockefeller heir. He is extremely quiet and re- tiring, and now spends much of his time on Rockefeller affairs at the center. In 1884 he married Mary French, and they have one daughter Laura Spelman.
 Winthrop Chooses Oil
 The oil business, on which the family fortune was built, has claim ed Winthrop Rockefeller, the fourth son. Winthrop started out at Yale, but fell behind in his studies due to indifferent health, and withdrew in favor of life in the open He worked for some time in the Stan dard Oil refineries at Bayonne, N. J., and later swung a shovel in the old fields near Jennings. La. While there he applied for and received a sheriff's commission to carry gun.

WPA TO SET UP
 POLICE INDEX
New Classification System to Be Installed in De.
 teCtive Bureau

While three former members of the traffic survey staff are engaged at the athletic field project and two others, women, have been assigned to the sewing project the past few weeks, the business of setting up a new project for these WPA employ es is going on at the present time, 1t was learned today. The set-up at the present time indicates that word should be received in Waterbury within the, week in regard to the approval or disapproval of the pro- ject which was written up and sent on to Washington about two weeks ago.
 It was definitely learned today that the program which was out lined in connection with the pro- posed new project has to do with the installation of an alphabetical index of criminals. There will be also encouragement work done at the local detective bureau files in regard to the present arrangement of photographs and a new system involved in connection with copying records and filing photographic plates.
 So far there has never been any budgetary appropriation for this work by the city so if the men from the WPA are assigned to do this work they will not be re- placing any regular city employees. It is understood now, after one month of speculation and writing up new proposals that a definite answer will be heard from the New Haven officials in a very short time. If this takes place the men from the athletic field will be assigned to work which they are more accus- toned to and the women recalled from the sewing project.
