 PRICES SCORED
Charging of Full Adnlis- sion Fee for Children
 Considered Unfair

A protest against tho charging Of 75 cents for children as well as adults at the Crosby Wilhy gaIne this year was made ct lest nights meeting of the board of education by Martin Kerwn, and synnpathetic- ally received by the members. The matter was referred after consider able discussion to the activities com mittee, with tha suggestion that 1t approach the local high schools athletic association in regard to their price policies.
 MT. Kerwin said hetooE his seven year old son to the game, and was required to pay Si.60 for himself and the boy, He pointed out that at mo- ton pictures and all other amuse- m%ents children are admitted at half price and wanted to know what, ac- ton the board would take to remedy the situation.
 Board members agreed that 75 cents was too much for child to haveto pay, but were uncertain what urisdijotion the yhad 1 nthe matter, Comsr. Perry GralcerStein suggested that if the board was to be sub. jected to criticism because of the prices, 1t should have the right to approve the price schedule before 1; was decided on next year. Comsr Hitchcock suggested adoption of Q basic rate for all local high schools pointing out that the price for the Leavenworth- Hamden game was only 6S cents, CoEnsr, oJhn ]. Kaer- ney added that the receipts for this game were greater than the Crosby Wilby game returns, despite the low CT price,
 MT, Kerwln said that fact sup- ported his argument that by charg- Ing less the athletic associations would reap Q greater profit, at the sametime giving children, who will be ln high school in Q few years, a chance to sec the games for a rea- Sonahle price,
 After further discussion the board referred the matter to Its sub-com- mlttee on school activities.

Fingerprints On Wine
 Bottle SoIUed Murder
State Police Commissioner Edward J. Hickey, Aides Spotlighted in Current Edition of
 Detective Fiction"

Waterbury in Ditchileld's Criminal Superior Court.
 Baffled by chain of circum- stances that seemed to point to GangiS guilt, state police officials occupied the better part of 6 week Investigating blind alleys and checking clues that led them no- where. Only Commissioner Hickey's conviction that 0angi' was not the murderer of his bro- ther-in-law saved him from prose- cutlon.
 Eventually by the filmsiest of leads, the faint imprint ot Q fine ger upon Q wine bottle, and the fact that youngster reported Q Boy Scout axe belonging to him had been stolen, Commissioner Hickey was able to bring the act- ual criminal to justice.
 Others who took part in the pu2gling raan-hunt were: InSpec- tor Frank Chameroy, commander of the bureau of criminal identi- Acation; Inspector Frank Shaw, chief photographer; Lieutenant Gene Lena, Sergeant Leo Mulcahy and Coroner Lester w. schaefer.
