The House Of Rockefeller Finds Tmasmy^mpty ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Once upon a time in the land of York, jst prince from the House of Rockefeller spent millions on such things as places of learning and roads and a grand mall and meeting house in Albany that prompted marvel and grumbling among the citizenry. There came a time in the year of 1971 when the prince looked into the kingdom's treasury and found naught, so he asked pie council for a bundle of taxes to be levied upon ali the residents of the kingdom. Enough already, they said in dismay. Ye have spent and spent and ye shall not have your wish. But these counsilmen, who thought themselves to b e wise, had to do something to cut expenses and raise some gold. They reduced, the stipend to the poor, closed a few ho\mes for the madj and imposed a tax on cheap foods. The prince, though he was disappointed, bided his time. In the fall of that year, the prince went to the citizenry with an appeal to permit the sale of notes to raise gold for the building of roads. He travelled to all corners of his kingdom; the toad- builders also asked for support and sent messages over the air. But the citizenry was not Impressed. Enough already, they said in dismay* Yehavespentand spent and ye shall not have your wish. And they turned him down. The prince, though he was chagrined,, bided his time. A month passed and the kingdom was enjoying the- Yuletide. There were bright lights and Saint Nicholas and the buying of toys-ifbr children. It was a gay season. But in the'iioUse of Rockefeller, the prince was grim. He was through biding his time. He summoned the eouhcilmen to the meeting house at Yuletide, away JOURNAL VOL. 26, NO. 3493 Daily Entered As Second Class Matter Post Office Ogdensfaurg, N.Y.

Five Found Murdered WESTFIELD, N.J. — A Sunday school teacher whose neighbors knew him as a dedicated father was sought by police Wednesday after the bodies of his wife, his. mother and his three teen-age children were found in the family's 20- room home in this exclusive suburb. The bodies of five members of the John- List family had been in the man- sion-type home, estimated to be worth $90,000, for at least a month, police said. All five had been shot in the head. Westfield Police Lt. Bernard Mormelo said an all-points bulletin had \been issued for List, an accountant arid in- surance executive, after the bodies were found Tuesday night by police. Neighbors, who notified police, said they became suspicious when daily newspapers piled up on the front porch of the white, frame home, which was in need of paint. The victims were identified as Mrs. List, 45; List's mother, Mrs. Alma List, 85, and the three List children, Patricia, 16, John F.., 15, and Frederick, 13. The bodies of Mrs. List and her three children were found lined up full-clothed on'the-floor of a ground floor ballroom in the turn-of-the century mansion. The body of the elderly woman was found stuffed into a clothes closet in. her third- floor bedroom. Mormelo said all of them had been shot with a small-caliber handgun. He said the killings apparently had taken in the kitchen of the home because the walls were bullet marked. Police Chief James Moran said two unloaded handguns were found in a desk in ground-floor room. The guns were taken for ballistics tests. List had written notes excusing his children from school, stopped all mail deliveries and notified his daughter's drama coach that she would be away on a vacation. Neighbors said List taught Sunday school at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, whose pastor, the Rev. Eugene Rehwinke, helped to identify the bodies.

Lindsay's utilities committee today called upon the state Legislature to create a single.statewide system of electric power production. \The -Legislature must give legislative recognition to the fact that no utility in this state will be able to meet its power needs on its own,\- Milton Musicus said. \The small, secluded, stack-smoking 'power plant is a thing of the past.\ , \Recognition of the need for a single system must be enunciated as part of a state law rather than executive messages and speeches,\ Musicus. said in testimony for a public hearing by the State Senate Committee on Public' Utilities. . Musicus is administrator of the city's Municipal Services Administration and chairman of the mayor's Inter- departmental Committee on Public Utilities.' , ~\ Musicus said New York City needs assured availability of electricity from utilities other than the Consolidated Edison Co., because Con Edison has trouble meeting .the growing local demand for power. \There should be enacted, therefore, ^legislation to authorize New York City government to enter into a contract with the Power Authority of the State of New York for purchase of 1.8 million kilowatts of electricity,\ Musicus said. The power would be delivered through Con Edison's power network. The city now buys about,875;000 kilowatts.from Con Edison for use in public buildings, public housing and the subways. MusicUs said, -'The electric generating capacity of Consolidated Edison is so dangerously close to demand for electricity that the economy of this major metropolis and the welfare of its residents are literally dependent upon the vibrations of 'Big All-is,' a million-kilowatt generator. \The city's fortunes turn with its turbines,\ he said. India said today\ its troops have captured two more major towns in East Pakistan, Comilla and Sylhet,. and are holding their own on the Kashmir front in the northwest. Pakistan's eastern command in Dacca, the capital of East Pakistan, countered with reports of fierce fighting, on most fronts in the, east and claimed that \enemy thrusts are being suc- cessfully countered by Pakistan troops.\ But it .was still reporting fighting today iri jessore, on the Western brder, nearly 24 hours after foreign newsmen from Calcutta visited the town and foand the Pakistani army gone. Associated Press correspondent Peter O'Loughlin reported that the feeling in Dacca \was that the Indians, attacking from several directions, are tightening the noose.\ India claimed Wednesday its forces were within 28 miles of Dacca. Defense Minister Jagjivan Ram told the Indian parliament- that Indian troops and their allies in the East Pakistani secession movement have \freed large areas of Bangla Desh from the oc- cupying forces of Pakistan.\ Bangla Desh—the Bengali nation-is fhe % name given to East Pakistan by the.rebels and India. • \The forces of our army and theJVIukti Bahini guerrillas acting not only in concert but under.a unified command are forcing the-Pakistani forces.to pull out from their strongholds in con^ 5 fusion,\ Ram asserted. . \ . . .Ram-sai4,.

' \ Radio Pakistan, in a broadcast Thursday, said the military situation in East Pakistan remains unchanged. \Our troops have blunted the full scale invasions on all fronts,\ the broadcast said. It added that claims of victory by India \are ridiculous and hardly need any denial.\ . ' In the long-disputed Himalayan state of Kashmir, Ram conceded that the Pakistanis had launched major attacks in the Chhamb sector, but he made Tio reference to an Indian government spokesman's report- Wednesday that Pakistani forces had crossed the Tawi River and were attacking Indian forces on the eastern side.
