 The body was covered with snow. Glendon lay on one side of the fence and his hunting rifle lay on the other. Neither was dis turbed pending arrival of Medical Examiner c. H. Keene of Chat ham.
 Glendon's father, Richard A. Glendon, former Navy crew coach, said he was satisfied that death was accidental. Earlier in the day police chief Everett Eldredge of Chatham told the United Press that the Elder Glendon had found a note which his son left in his home.
 The chief quoted the father as saying He's done 1t. We've got to keep looking now until we find him." The father was tear-eyed after finding the note, the chief said. A little more than an hour later the body was found.
 The snow-banked spot where the body was found was not far from Eel pond, where Glendon was last seen after setting out alone on q duck hunting trip early yesterday.

AMERICANS ARE
 ASSESSED TAXES
France Will Try to Collect $12O, O,0OO,OOO in Al=
 leged Back Taxes
By WALLACE CARROLL fIrnited Press Staff Corrcspondent

\ Paris, Dec 14-UP)-A concerns doing business in France have been assessed nearly $120,- 000,O00 in "back taxes" under the double taxation law over which a controversy has existed between the United States and France for years.
 The concerns had expected the taxes would be abandoned after Tardieu and Ambassador Walter Edge signed a treaty in April, 1882. specifically exempting Americans from the law. The treaty was ratified by the United States sen- ate in June, 1882. but was never submitted to the chamber of dep- uties.
 The law was passed in 1873, to prevent tax evasion by firms To- cated in Paris, but having parent companies or branches abroad. It in France can be required to sub init the accounts of their associated companies throughout the world to the French treasury, which will then determine whether any of the r IeHCu COnCSllS part of their profits to their asso- ciated companies abroad, in order to evade French taxation.
 A number of American firms have been acquired to submit their books, and the treasury has now estimated that they owe nearly D. 900, 100000 francs, Approximately 12O,OO0,000) on their disguised profits"
 The subsidiary of one large Am erican company has been ordered to submit the accounts of all its as- sociated companies throughout the world. Auditors estimate that tho cost of furnishing this data will be at least $70,000.
 Commercial leaders point out that Tardieu signed the treaty to placate the United States, which had been offended by the French import quota policy. They also con- sider the possibility that double taxation may be a weapon to be used when the United States dis cusses foreign wineNquotas.
