FEDERAL MEN IN
 BOY KIDNAPPING
Three.Year-O Old Lad Has Been Gone From Mass.
 Home One Week

Medfield, Mass, January 22 = (Up) - G-men are cooperating with state and local authorities in ef- forts to solve the week-old disap- pearance of Dale Tibbets, three- year-old son of Medfield farmer, 1t was definitely established today
 Silas N. Tibbetts, the father. while in Willimanttc, Conn, to in- vestigate a clue yesterday, revealed that the department of justice had entered the case. Later the Boston Bureau of the department denied this, but 1t was learned today that G-nnen had joined the inquiry when the Willimantic angle developed and made it an interstate case.
 Federal Govt Can Act
 Under the Lindbergh law the fed- eral government may act if kid- naped person is transported from one state to another. A man who posed as Dales father appeared in Willimantic soon after the boys dis apeparance and asked a news dealer for back copies of Boston newspapers containing stories of the case. Thia man, still unidentified, resemblec the driver of an automobile in which a child described as Dale had been seen here and at Mills few hours previously,
 Father Not Wealthy
 The child's father Is in modest financial circumstances, and though Dale's grandfather. Nelson George Tibbetts, is q prosperous Medtield dairy farmer, this did not seem to investigators to offer sufficient mo- tive for Q kidnapping. It has been suggested Dale was mistaken TOT the son of a wealthy ncighbor, but there have been no ransom demands
 Clarence D. McKean, special agent in charge of the Boston Bureau of the Department of Justice, was not expected at his office until noon to" day. Whether he was personally directing the investigation could not be learned.
 It was believed New York agents might be working on the case since Willimantic Is within the New York Jurisdiction.
