DISAPPEARANCE
 OF GRACE BUDD
 FINALLY SOLVED
Myste rious Abduction of Ten-Year-Old Girl
 Explained
BODY DISMEMBERED,
 PLACED IN GRAVES
New York Painter Under Arrest-Makes Blood
 Lust Confession

NEW YORK, Dec. IA The mysterious disappearance of ten year-old Grace Budd, six years ago. has been solved according to the announcement made today by the New York City police.
 Part of the girls remains have been found in a grave in the Warrington Woods, West Chester County.
 The police said Albert Fish, 65- year-old painter of New York City, has confessed to the Kidnapping and staying of the girl.
 Trailed For Years
 Detectives and Post Office h. spectors trailed Fish for several years and arrested him at neigh borhood postoffice yesterday.
 Fish, according to the officers. said he choken the child to death when she screamed after he had taken her from her home. She was then ten years old.
 Blood Lust
 Detectives said Fish, in a de- tailed description of the staying, left no doubt the crime was com mitted to satisfy blood lust.
 Fish had a sleepless night and today niumbled incoherently, tap ping his head with the tips of his fingers.
 Used Meat Cleaver
 Fish admitted the girl was butch cred with a meat cleaver. The body was cut into three parts.
 Blood lust seized me-" Fish said but am glad it is over. Helping the police to find the body somehow makes me feel bet ter"
 The police said an anonymous letter, allegedly sent by Fish to the Budd family after the girl had been killed, contained an intima- tion of the possible foundation for the blood lust motive. The letter said the writer's brother served in the Navy in China in 1894 and was forced to eat human flesh, but Fish denied he engaged in any such practices.

SENATORS ASK
 YOUTHS TO AID
 IN COP. RESCUE
Borah, Nye, MIRA Critics, Speak Before N. Y.
 Republicans

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Two of NRA's doughtiest opponents, Sen- ators William E. Borah and Ger aid P. Nye, last night demanded a reformed Republican Party, with a progressive platform aimed at the redistribution of wealth through destruction of monopolies
 Borah, Idaho Republican inde- pendent, speaking at a Republi- can rally here, also called for a better protection to small business by exempting it from Blue Eagle codes. He urged all young Repub- ncans to organize under liberal leadership in every state and coun- ty. He told his audience that these young Republicans must set up a national organization to wrest con- trol from the conservatives.
 At the same meeting, arranged by the Young Republican Clubs of New York, Nye, North Dakota in- dependent, asserted new pro gressive party" might result if the present organization remained un- changed. He demanded that the G.. O. P. unshackle itself from the Wall Street ball and chain"
 Nye also proposed giving labor a greater share in the wealth it cre- ates. He favored: more attention for the security of a million homes than security for the privileged few; an adequate national defense; |; better civil service; and sufficient curbs on the intuition racket"

I'M NOT DODO,'
 MIRA DECLARES
 AFTER MEETING
Blue Eagle Authorities De- fend Organization
 from Johnson
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-"You are too an old dodow

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-"You are too an old dodo!"
 T am not an old dodo!"
 And so it goes, this argument between Gen. Hugh s. Johnson, former chief of the organization, and the MIRA. General Johnson claimed last week that the MIRA is a dead dodo" Wednesday night, present officials held secret pep rally, the purpose of which. was to deny emphatically, that the Blue Eagle most certainly is not an "old dodo."
 Those present at the session re- ported, unofficially, the meeting was to restore morale possibly dam aged by the statement attributed to Johnson. The MIRA bosses de- cided that the best way to accom- plish this was to push the idea that, as soon as Congress could act, the MIRA would become per- manent institution in the system of the nations government.
 However, to placate admirers of the first Administrator of the MIRA, General Johnson, tributes were presented him by the present high command as to his ability and acumen. NRA employees attending were sworn to secrecy, yet it was learned that at every mention of Johnson's name an ovation took place.
