MAFIA BELIEVED
 LINKED, BOMBING
 OF COHEN'S HOME

LAS ANGELES, Feb. 10-tR-A police inspector today linked the latest Mickey Cohen hcrcG bombing to the Mafia.
 We believe the bombing is the result of an internal struggle be- tween Collen's mob and the Mafia, D said Inspector Jack Donohoe. They have fallen out and now they're fighting for power"
 The Mafia is a Sicilian secret order, reputedly with international underworld ramifications.
 His statement came as other off, cers began a roundup of persons they said are believed hostile to Cohen.
 Police had two theories about the bombing, which blew wide hole in Cohen's S100,000 radar- guarded home early yesterday. One was that it was just warning-an attempt to scare or harass the little gamb- Ter Another school thinks it was a legitimate try. and that Cohen was lucky to escape the latest of a long series of attempted assassinations.

''BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES" NOW
 CApiT0L'S BILL

Myrna Loy has no hesitation about saying she likes the Samuel Goldwyn Academy Award winning drama, The Best Years of Our Lives" breaking a rule of hers not to discuss roles. This time she's call ing the picture great, and without a blush, She calls it a picture and a subject far bigger than anyone in it's cast.
 The production. now at the Capi- tol Theatre. has a Star-studded cast. Fredric March, Dana Andrews ana a newcomer. Harold Russell, play three newly discharged veterans. Miss Loy, Teresa Wright and an- other newcomer, Cathy ODonnell, are the women who welcome them back. The story, written by Mac Kinley Kantor and adapted by Rob- ert E. Sherwood from an idea by the producer, tells of readjustment.
 Regardless of the problems treated in the plot, Miss Loy points out, the production is not heavy or tragic, and that even Harold Rus sell, who lost his hands in the war, radiates optimism in his role.
 Miss Loy's own part is mostly comedy, and she enjoyed it. She plays the bankers wife. The banker is March, a fellow who finds his ideas changed by the war. Their daughter is Miss Wright.
