world situation. Prince George spoke
about the Franco Russian menace to

U. S. Answer to Appeal by
Pair AIIudes to Ransom

Income tax frauds were charged to-
day to Bruno Richard Hauptmann and
his wife, Anna, in the Government's s
answer to the appeal Of the convicted
slayer Of the Lindbergh baby for a re-
determination of tax assessments for
1882 and 1898.
Five instances in which the pair
were held TO have defrauded the Gov
ernment were cited in the answer, filed
by Treasury experts with the Board OF
Tax Appeals.
The reply hinted at Hauptmann's
connection with part of the Lindbergh
ransom money found in his possession
by referring to $4,000 portion OF
their income as having been derived
from sources yet unidentified"
The Government assessed income
tax claims, penalties and interest to-

the Hauptmanns. They appealed
contending the Internal Revenue .Bu-
reau enormously credited to Haupt-
mann funds received through opera
ton Of joint brokerage account and
the joint operation of a fur business
with Isidor Fisch.
Hauptmann has held that he re-
ceived the Lindbergh ransom from
FSch, who later died in Germany.
Referring to the $4,000, the Gov
ernor's answer said $4,150 was used
in the purchase of a mortgage and
sl2,050 for the purchase Of furs. The
sl6,200 was part of the total income

The chain letter craze has now
gone haywire."
That is, it has taken to the wires
of the telegraph Offices.
This morning when Representative
Crawford of Michigan stepped into his
office a messenger boy handed him a
chain telegram-apparently the first
of its kind in Washington and one OF
the first in the United States.
The telegram read in part:
"Chain telegram; don't break It,"
Then five names. "Chain by wire
should spread like fire. Wire IS first
name, remove top name, add yours.
Wire copy five kindred spirits. Answer

The local manager Of the Western
Union said this is the first time he
ever heard of such thing. Nat
urally, he hopes it will increase busi-
ness, but-that IS clause is just too
much.
SO far as Representative Crawford
Is concerned, he has yet to commune,
by wire, with five kindred spirits.

Meanwhile, about $50 whose civil
service status had been questioned, had
completed non-competitive examina-
tions required to enable them to hold
their places. The results of these tests
will not be known for several days.
The rider originally was aimed at
this group, but under a ruling by
Controller General McCarl it was held
to include their associates also, pro-
viding competitive tests for all. Those
who had not received pay either had
failed on the original test or had re-
fused to take 1t because they already
had civil service status. although Sem
