Interim Relief Contributions By Dom. Government

Provincial Gran-tn‘ o Be Increased Pending Action By Parliament.

(Canadian Press. By Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, Dee. lit-For the fonr months, December, January, Febru- ary and March the grants from the Federal Treasury to the provinces for relief narrows. which have been paid at the rate of $1,150,250 monthly. will be increased to $3.064,607, Prime Minister Mackenzie King announced

tonight.

This fulfills the promise made by the govc Provincial Conference last week, and will enable the provinces to lift from the municipalities some mascara oi the relief coat burden which it has become evident they could not continue to carry. '

Unanimous agaecmeni by the provinces lo submit further relief expmditures to the review of a pro- pdsed national comml slon on un- employment and relief, made it possible for the government to take this stop, Premier King said. The commission will be appointed early in January.

Following are the increased grants, by provinces, with the pres- ent rate; in brackets: Prinoc Ed- ward Island $2,187 ($1250); Nova Scoiia $70000 ($40000); New Brunswick $48,750 ($25,000): Quebec $875,000 ($500,000); Ontario $1.050,- 000 ($500,000); Manitoba $238,250 6185.000); Saskatchewan $350,000 ($200,000); Alberta, $175,000. ($100,- 000); British Columbia $262,500 ($150,000); wtal $3,064.08’! ($1,751,- 200).

In-making his announcement Mr. King issued the following state- menu.

“At the close of the recent Do- minion-Provinclal conference it was announced that the Do ‘ gov- ernment would increase the grants- in-aid to the provinces for relief purposes in order that the provm- ceg in turn might be enabled to lighten the heavy relief burden of the municipalities.

‘The dnlsiozi to inmease sub- stantially and immediately the grants-in-aid to the provinces has bran influenced by the fact that rhe larger cities and towns of the Dominion have borne throughout the last five years a charge for un- employment relief which has in- volved many of them in financal difficulties and has threatened oth-

c... with similar consequences.

"The present increases arc'in the nature of interim assistance throuvhout the winter Ynonihs pending action by Parliament. As soon as possible following the es- tablishment of a national commis-

Attorney General Thane A. Carrpiacll of Prince Edward Island hailed with satisfaction the Island's increased grant for relief purposes announced‘ last night by prime Minster King.

"Of course," he stated "this is only a temporary arrangement un. til the commission makes its find- inss. It will tide us over until then and is certainly a great im- provement over our firmer grant.

Gives Federal Agents Description Of Four Men — Hideout 0f Gang Located.

By Leo W. Sheridan, Associated Press Staff Writer

DOYITESPOWN,’ P0,, Dec. 10. -— Caleb J. Milne-Mn tonight gave fed- eral agentsa description of {our men who kidnapped him in New

~York and through his description enabled them to find the hideout where he was held prisoner for four days.

Milne, scion of a wealthy Phila- delphia family was abandoned by his abductors last night on a high- way ncar Doylestoivn. Government authorities said today no ransom was paid.

Federal agents and a stenc- graphcr who, sat about his bedside in a hospital took his story.

They said they had found the hideout-a dilapidated house on a farm near Wrightstown, in South- eastern Bucks County, about 10 miles southeast of the spot when Milne was thrown out ofa car last night-from an accurate description of movements made by the kidnap- pers givcn by Milne.

The agents said they sent iden- tification orders on the four kid- nappers to every federal bureau of investigation office in the country.

Near the hideout, they said they found a. hypodermic syringe and two needles, which they believe the kid- nappers used to keep Milne in a condition bordering on unconscious- ness during the four days and nights he was held. Milne said he was given food only once during his im- prisonment.

Recuperating from exposure and heavy doses of a narcotic, Milne gave an incoherent account of what occurred from Sunday night until last night. He remembered the kid- nappcrs, however, because he saw one before he was given the nar- cotic.

Agents said Milne told of answer- ing a telephone call from a “Dr. Green of Gracie Square." in New

urdav at the square.

Milne had been told on the tele- phone that his grandfather, Caleb J. Milne. Jr.. in Philadelphia was “very ill" and wished to see him. “Dr. Green" was to take him to Phfadelphia.

Agents said Milne related that three other men mét the "Doctor" in the Park and all five set out in a seqsn foé-hPhiiadeipi-la.
