LAID To FISH

NEW YORK, Dec. % tI.N.S0. .
The startling possibility that Al

fessed slayer of 6-year-old Grace
Budd, was responsible for a
whole string of child murders,
which have puzzled New York po-
lice for varying periods, loomed
today.
Definite efforts are now being
made to link the former house
painter with the fiendish murder
of Francis Mcdonnell, 7, son of
Staten Island policeman, in
1924; the garroting of Yetta
Abramowitz, II, in New York in
1927, and the kidnapping of Billy
Gaffney. 4. in Brooklyn in 1927.
A trolley car motorman has al
ready identified Fish as the man
he saw with the Gaffney boy on
the day of his disappearance.
Yesterday Hans Kiel, on whose
farm the McDonnell's boys body
was found, definitely identified
Fish as the man he had chased
off his land two or three days be-
fore the lad was killed.
Meanwhile Fish today was in the

thorities to answer to an indict-
ment charging him with the MUIR

UTILITY CAMPAIGN
IN SCHOOLS Barred
Federal Trade Commission
Says $1,312,264 Spent
on Propaganda.
BY the Associated Press.

An expenditure by utilities OF
$l,3l2,264 for propaganda in schools
was disclosed today by the Federal
Trade Commission in third report
to the Senate on its six-year-old in
quiry. The definite period in which
the money was spent was not given
in the report, which went back sew
eral years. Several instances we're
reported where faculty members of
Eastern and Southern educational in
stitutions received utilities funds for
various services. None of these was
of recent date.
Adding to its previous findings that
utilities had attempted to influence
the press, the commission said:
Another great opinion forming
body of the country is composed of
educators and their students.
Understood Advantages.
THE record in this investigation
discloses that the trainers of the
goodwill campaign for the utility in
dustries clearly understood the i'm
portance of this factor in shaping
opinion, and carefully and compre-
hensively planned to make the most
of it.
The utility program for educators
and schools. from kindergarten to
university, was designed to mold the
thoughts and beliefs of the present
and future generations in conformity
with the utility interests.
1T was stated that the privately
owned public utilities are getting at
the very fundamentals Of public un-
derstanding and good will-the pupils
in the schools who 60 to all parts
of the State and become leaders in
their respective communities, where
they become the next voters.
Life Influence Charged.
'Since students carry information
home to their parents. the school
teaching is not confined to the pupils,
but actually extends from the cradle
to the grave as the boast was made.
Through the children, the utilities
build for the future, while at the
same time they influence the think
ing Of the parents"
The commission said its record
showed total educational expenditures
of 81 .312 ,264.77. which included $780,
600 set aside by the National Electric
Light Association to finance a ma
tional home lighting contest" and
$454,365 in payments to educational
institutions. 1t added the total ex-
penditure probably was larger than
shown.
