"G-Men" Silent on Clues in
100000 Weyerhaeuser
Abduction.

tCopyr sht. 1885. By the Associated Press)
TACOMA, June 4.-Increasing their
Tacoma field force to about 30 by
the arrival of q dozen new n1er, Fed
eral Department of Justice agents
were unusually active again today,
hoping to clear up the George Weyer-
haeuser kidnapping within the week.
Otherwise they face the possible
ity Of q long wait until the abfuctors,
who extorted 100000 from Mr. and
Mrs. ]. p. Weyerhaeuser. jr.. for the
return Of their o-year-old son come
out OF hiding and attempt to fee.
More than 20 Federal men were at
work In Seattle In addition 70 the
State patrol, which yesterday was
reported to have used. an a;rplane
and automobiles 70 search the Issa-
quah region, where George wss set
free Saturday morning. The patrol
was looking for q nideout, but If they
found it, they and the "G-men"
were able to keep the secret.
Silent ON Hot Clues"
Two Federal agents were reported
today to have made a hurried trip
into Eastern Washington yesterday
to run down one OF the flood Of hot
clues" It also was believed that sew
eral Department of Justice men were
in British Columbia on similar
mission.
Despite the activity, the designated
spokesman for the Investigators con-
fined his comment to succinct, I'VE
are investigating along routine lines.
We expect nothing to turn up within
the next few hours"
The Federal men on the job scoffed
at reports that the Barker-Karpis
gang was involved. They repeated
it yesterday when volney Davis
pleaded guilty in st. Paul to COM
plcity in the Bremen kidnapping.
There were notable condolences in
that the ransom sum was 5000, 900 In
both cases; that the Weyerhaeuser
timber interests are centralized IN
st. Paul and Tacoma, and that
George told an interviewer that his
captors called each other by given
names similar to those Of the Karpis
gang members.
Serial Numbers Revealed.
But there was feeling that If
Georges abductors were the brainy
type described by Federal men. they
would use Karpis gang names in con-
versations In front of the boy In an
effort to divert suspicion.
Although shrouding most of their
movements In secrecy, the authorities
yesterday publicly distributed circulars
listing serial numbers of the 10000
Weyerhaeuser ransom bills. It kept
"G-Men" and Tacoma police busy
answering an average Of q telephone
call minute from persons who be-
lieved they had received some Of the
hot" money.
All but nine Of the IS, SO and $40
ransom bills are twelfth Federal Re
serve notes issued at San Francisco.
Their serial numbers start with an
IL" and end with an "A" or an
asterisk.
Georges uncle, r. Rodman Titcomb,
said the automobile found In Seattle
last Saturday belonged to him. It bore
stolen license plates, Titcomb's having
been removed.

MINORITY URGES
REVAMPINC OF
TAX BOARD LAW
Criticism Follows Attacks
on Majority for Failure
to Cut Levies.

Minority members Of the Marion
County Tax Adjustment Board to-
day criticised as inadequate and
badly conceived the law which pre-
sumably. establishes the board as a
watchdog" Of the taxpayers purse.
Demanding revision of the law,
the criticism follows public state
ments in condemnation Of the &C
tivities of the majority members Of
the board in allowing levies in in
stances that topped last years.
And although only one Of the
minority members voted against es-
tablishing an emergency so that the
rate could go legally over S1.50, the
minority explained that it had done
so because otherwise financial
chaos would have threatened the
county.
The statement reads:
The law setting up the adjust
ment board needs revision. 1t is
manifestly apparent to all who
would pause to consider for only
a moment the difference Of the task
between examining the budget of
a taxing unit such as Brown Coun-
ty, where only comparatively few
thousand dollars are involved and
the magnitude of the task in Marion
County, where there are more than
IN taxing units involving moro than
S18OO0.OOO.
1T is recommended that the citi-
zenS concern themselves with the
task Of revising the Indiana statute
as it relates to the Marion County
Tax Adjustment Board. The board
should have more time to consider
the budgets and provision should
be made for research and statistical
information to be gathered in ad-
vance of the boards sessions in or
der to facilitate and expedite their

IRELAND was struggling under
L control Of the absentee Protes-
tant nobility Of England, when a
great orator arose to lead The move
ment for liberation of his people
He was Daniel OConnell, who, as
The Liberator," became a thorn in
the sides of the British.
OConnel saw the poverty in
which the Irish Catholics were kept,
and was determined to correct this
condition. He formed the Catholic
Association which quickly spread
over ireland. In 1928 he was elected
to parliament and within year
ne was able to gain Catholic eman-
cipation for Ireland.
In 1929, on the Tooth anniversary
of this event, the irish Free State
issued the stamp shown here in
O'Connell's honor.
OConnell later began agitating
for repeal of the union, by which
Ireland could become a free state.
He was arrested, sentenced for one
year and fined $4,000. But the
