NEW YORK, Dec. 16. _. The Daily News says i na copyrighted story that $48,551,845 federal tax lien against the Associated _Cas and Electric Company was filed in the United States court for the southern district of New York today.

The action, the paper says, covers corporation income taxes from 1929 to 1933 inclusive and excess profit taxes for 1933.

The paper adds that besides the civil action evidence has been- presented to the grand jury on which possible criminal indictments for income tax eva- sion and mall fraud might be based. ‘

Christmas Card De- mands Ransom For Return of Caleb Milne.

(A.l'. By Guardian's Special Wire)

NEW YORIK, Dec. l6 — Caleb Jones Milne, 4th, actor-scion of a wealthy Philadelphia family, was cast in the leading role tonight of what Department of Justice agents called a kidnap drama.

While New York City police list- ed the youth merely as a "missing person," federal agents and the “Scotfand Yard" division of the state police sought the author of a Christmas greeting ransom demand.

Although city police kept him technically on the missing persons list, a headquarters official said tho case looked "more and more like a kidnapping." ‘

The disappearance of young Milne 24, who is a grandson of Caleb Milne, Jr., retired Philadelphia textile manufacturer, lacked none of the ezsentials or an orthodox mystery case.

Clues To Disappearance

Clues numbe {the unexplained Christmas card and ransom note. a mysterious tclephone call from a

. adarit stranger who accosted M11216 a. week ago, and the story of a. tail- or who did work for the missing youth.

Young Milne disappeared at l0 a. m. Saturday from the apartment he shared with his brother, Fred‘- erick, having a note sail!!! m“ l “Dr. Green of Gracie Square” had telephoned to insist he accompany him to his grandfather's beckide in Garmantown, Pa., where the elder Milne was supposed to be seriously

ill.

He was not reported missing un- til late yesterday by Frederick, al- though a request for assistance was made earlier to federal agents in Boston. '

The note demanding ransom had been mailed in Poughkeepsie. N. Y., and was accompanied by a Christ- mas card upon which was type- written "greetings to you." .

Ransom Note

The ransom note consisted of words clipped from newspaififi and past“ p, rpm brown paper. It said: “Your brothe: isn't in Philadelphia. we got him out in the country. b"! he will be returned living 1f you follow the letters we will send you. Availabhz cash must oorm, from New York. Keep in touch with -your grandfather by phone. The letters will be signed “Zattlér?

The youth's srandialhor. who earlier expressed the belief the cast was a “hoax”, later reluctantly agreed with the kidnap theory. Authorities were ‘checkinl "l6 story of J. Schwartz, a tailor Pli- roniaed by the Miinc brothers 3° relalcd Frederick story of how a strange man accosted them oppo- site the tailor shop last Monday, asked if his brother were not Caleb Milne, muttered unintelligably and hurried off. It was to Frederic the ransom note was addressed.

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, Dec. lit-Wide var- iatlons in November relief costs in different provinces were shown in figures released today by the Federal Labor Depart- ment. It cost 87-82 to support an unemployed person in On- tario and $1.51 in Prince Edward Island with $6.52 the average for all provinces.

FURSANTAS

The Response Has Been So Far Gener- ous And Great, But There are Still Many Addition-s To Our List, Of Children Santa Claus, May Forget, And More Santa Pals Are Needed Ere The List Closes Satur- day.

Old friends of Santa Pals Club were in evidence yesterday among those who remembered the little ones Santa Claus may overlook. The old contributor who has made it a practice in years past to give assistance to the cause that needs assistance is the type that never wcaries in well-doing. It is grati- fying to note that the number of contributors is steadily increasing, as alas, are the numbers of de- mands made upon the fund. lt is a significant influence of the ap- peal that tt tends to cultivate a spirit of human neighbourliness and. fellowship in those who can give. It is every man's-duty not only to devote a. certain portion of his income for charitable pur- poses, but also to see that it is ap- plied as to do the most good pos- sible. This best can be attained by giving to those where personal in- quiry and information satisfy that the case is really deserving. All the children in the Guardian's list are vouched for, and there need be no questions as to their need. The. facts are gathered and substan- tiated in a way the average giver could not possibly do for himself. Thus in becoming a Santa Pal the substance of true charity is made most effective without the impair- ment of the spirit of that which is the greatest of the virtues. ‘more is no more creditable citizen list than first which enrolls, even if anonymously, as Santa Pals. Friends of the Needimt Children in our midst. Please enlist and send your contributions without delay, as the fund closes Saturday to enable the Rover scouts to have all the parcels despatched by Mon- day evening.

would submit to such a test, because the “Jasflo" of tho ransom negotia- tions, he said, “changed" his atti- I tude on the case between the time he visited Hauptmarm in the Flem- ington jail and the trial a few weeks ater.

"When he was visiting me in my Flemington cell," Hauptmann wrote in his apologetic note, “he said all excited to the prosecutor-I cannot testify against this man."

"I have a deep interest," Haupt- mann told the Governor, "in what kind of force made him change this saying."

REPORTS DENIED

The Governor announced the re- ceipt of the letter from the Bronx carpenter a short time after pub- lished reports described an alleged confession in which Hauptmann was quoted as disclosing he and Lsador Fisch, his business partner now deceased, collected the 850,000 ransom but were guiltless of the actual kidnapping. These reports were promptly denied by the Gov- eruor and other official sources as groundless and untrue.

Governor Hoffman hinted strong- ly that Hauptmann probably would be permitted toplead his own case before the Court of Pardons when it considers his plea for a commuta- tion of his death sentence. The court, the Governor said, will prob- ably convene a week or so before the week of Jan. 13, during which Hauptmann has been ondemn ’ to die, to ponder the expected appeal for clemency.

Hoffman was asked if he was in favor of Hauptmanw appearing in person before the court.

"Yes, I think I would," he answer- ed, adding as an afterthought, “—at the prison."

ADVANCED SUGGESTION

He revealed he had advanced such a. suggestion to the other seven members of the court recently and reported “there was considerable interest in lt."

The recurrent report that a "high official” had offered l-lauptrrlann life imprisonment in return for a confession was brought to the Gov- ernor's attention, and he quickly pointed out that “no officer of the state has power to do such a. thing" under the laws- The Court of Par- dons, he said, probably could "take such a proposal into consideration."

The Governor likewise spiked the story that it had been planned to have Col. Charles A. l in“ gh con-

Any repudiation of Sir Samuel by the cabinet was considered out of the question. On the contrary, it was believed that, if necessary. Prime Minister Baldwin would - vigorously defend the Foreign Sec- retary's actions.

Regarding the report that Italy might consider oil sanctions an wt of war, it was pointed out that Britain had never pledgedherself to more than collective action and _if the ministers were not satisfied that collective action would be available in any situation likely to arise out of imposition of an oil embargo, they were entitled to take what they considered the next best 556D. namely. to make a supreme effort at conciliation to halt the ltalo-Ethiopian conflict.

Last Wednesday Mr. Baldwin had been pressed in the House of Commons to disclose the exact de- tails of the joint, Anglo-march peace proposals. (They were made public two days later).
