S MAY AIDWAR ONDRUNK DRIVING Co-operation of Govern- ment Indicated on Pro- posal of Mrs. Tilton. Government co-operation may be forthcoming against drunken driving of automobiles, it was learned after such a proposal by Mrs, Elizabeth ‘Tilton, chairman of the Woman's Na- tional Committee for Education Against Alcohol. Mrs. Tilton's suggestion, based upon an increase in arrests for this offense n Washington and in other areas, was addressed to President Roosevelt and called for preparation of posters by unemployed artists, this matter to be displayed in all public buildings. At the Federal Emergency Relief Administration it was said that prepa- ration of such display material might be undertaken at the discretion of State rellef agencies. Work relief funds are assigned the State agencies, these units being allowed to use the funds for any type of protest deemed worthy. District relief officials would pass judgment upon the proposal here, it was said. As for display of the posters in Gov- ernment buildings, however, Arno B. Cammerer, who has jurisdiction over all buildings, said he doubted if ap- proval could be given. It has been the policy of his department, he ex- plained, to keep Government buildings clear of all matter not part of Govern- ment business. To make an exception in one instance would open the way for many similar requests, he pointed out. In support of her proposal for a campaign against drunken driving, Mrs. Tilton sets forth the following statistics from widely separated areas: A 30 per cent increase in automo- bile injuries and deaths in Chicago in the first half of this year compared with the same period for 1933; a 48 per cent increase in arrests for drunk- enness in Washington and 42 per cent increase in arrests for drunken driv- ing: 52 per cent more arrests for drunken driving in Pennsylvania in the first five months of 1934; 43 per cent jump in traffic deaths in Cleve- land in the first six months: an in- crease of 164 per cent in traffic acci- dents in Detroit since repeal.

UTILITY CAMPAIGN IN SCHOOLS BARED Federal Trade Commission| Says $1,312,264 Spent on Propaganda. By the Associated Press. An expenditure by utilities $1,312,264 for propaganda in schools was disclosed today by the Federal Trade Commission in a 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 sev- eral years. Several instances were reported where factulty members of Eastern and Southern educational in- stitutions received utilities funds for various services. 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.

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 $1.312,264.77. which included $500,- 000 set aside by the National Electric Light Association to finance a “na- tional home lighting contest,” and $454.365 in payments to educational institutions. It added the total ex- penditure probably was larger than shown. D. A. R. Rites Honor Wyoming. VALLEY FORGE, Pa.

By thé Associated Press. Except for wholesale and retail trade, education is America’s biggest business, and has tabulated figures to prove it. The Federal Office of Education needed almost a year and a half to assemble its facts. But once com- piled they disclosed that in the 1931- 32 school period, total expenditures for all education were $2,964,073,024. That figured up to far more than the value of the products of the big- gest manufacturing industry in 1931. The Census Bureau listed first that year the $2,180,823,462 expenditure for the products of the wholesale meat packing industry. Motor vehicles, in second place, were worth a relatively trivial $1,567,526,262. Going deeper into its mathematical deliberations, the education office found that all publicly supported edu- cation could have been paid for in 1932 with 9 cents a day from each of 74,114,268 persons of voting age. Private education would have added on 2 cents. On an annual basis, the cost of both public and private education totaled $39.99 for every adult, compared with $44.34 in 1929-30. Average annual costs per child in public schools were found to vary widely, from $31.70 in Arkansas to $152.85 in New York. For the coun- try as a whole the average was $87.67.

J, November | 26.—An indication of the State's de- termination to convict Bruno Richard Hauptmann of the Lindbergh kidnap- murder today was revealed in a prose- cutor’s promise to call “as many as 50 witnesses” to prove a single point. There are “more than 70 discrep- ancies,” Hunterdon County Prosecutor Anthony M. Hauck, jr., said yesterday, in the stories Hauptmann has told officials since his arrest. Hauck declared the State would cal] half a hundred witnesses, if necessary, to disprove Hauptmann's assertion that he was workihg on the construc- Turn your oldl trinkets, jewelry and watches into MONEY at tion of the Hotel Majestic in New York Marcn 1, 1932, the day that Charles A. Lindbergh, jr., was stolen from his Hopewell home. Five of the other alleged discrep- ancies already have been made pub- lic, Hauck said, but the State will re- serve publication of the rest until the trial, January 2. Defznse attorneys today pressed their fight, delayed by a technicality, for a full bill of particulars on the case against Hauptmann. Hauck will be served with a demand for a state- ment which would show definitely whether Hauptmann is charged with premeditated murder or murder com- mitted in the execution of a felony. The indictment against Hauptmann is held to be ambiguous on this point, though the penalty in either case is death in the electric chair. Relief Society to Hold Tea.
