GERMAN LEADERS
 HAVE RELAXED

Berlin, Jan. 12-UP)-German leaders relaxed today in the belief that tension over Morocco was ended, and prepared to say farewell to Colonel General Hermann Goer- ing, Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's right hand man, on his departure for a "recuperation visit" to Italy.
 Spokesmen said that the govern ment had decided to make no off, cial reference to the Moroccan bus iness, or to the announcement in Paris that the crisis was considered over because of the receipt of as- surances that Germany had no de- signs on Spanish Morocco.
 The official news agency, the Deutsches Nachrichten Bureau, published q Paris dispatch by a French semi-official agency to the effect that Germany would respect the status quo in Morocco.
 Publication of this dispatch, off, ciaB said. might be taken as indica- ton that 1t was regarded as correct and as refiecting the German view point.

GARDEN OF ALLAH' LAUDED BY PRESS
TechnicOlOr Attraction at State Today Rated
 Very Highly

A good picture is always worthy of tribute from the press. Such pie 'ture Is "The Garden Of Allah which began five day day engage ment at Warner Brothers State theater this afternoon.
 Filmed entirely in Technicolor, which brings out the beauty of It's picturesque desert setting, the pro- duction is one of the outstanding achievements of the magicians of Hollywood who make the cameras "do tricks" in accomplishing the seemingly impossible.

present, the clay points to region near the mouth of river flowing into Puget Sound, where such clay is peculiar to the district.
 4. Strands of hair found under the boys nails, indicating that he fought with his abductor for his life.
 5. The printing of the ransom note. Authorities throughout the case have been confident that the machine which printed the note was of peculiar type--a defective, simple printing press, commonly used by children. It was believed possible that the device could be traced to the place of sale. iio
 6. Tire prints left by an automo- bile, apparently bearing the slayer and the body of the boy. The prints already have been identified as those left by a medium-size six cylinder sedan. The tire was of popular make.
 Speaks for Father
 Paul Sceva, manager of the Ranier Park company who tried to serve as Dr. Mattsons intermediary in ransom negotiations, spoke for the father. He quoted him as fol- lows:
 "The ransom was not paid, al- though I made every effort to pay 1t, and put forth every endeavor to try to follow instructions. The in- structions were so elusive, however, and there was such confusion of notes was unable to pay the ran som.
 The G-Men worked alone today, backed by the order of their chief, J. Edgar Hoover, who announced in Chicago that every resource of his department was in the search for the criminal.
 Police patrolled highways around Everett. Near that town, in second growth timber 300 feet from the highway, the body was found by Gordon Morrow, 19, a rabbit hunter.
 The first positive Identification of the body was made by Sceva, a friend of the Mattson family. Sceva arrived at the scene before Dr. Mattson. and they returned to Tacoma together to tell the news to Mrs. Mattson.

 Naked Little Body
 The naked little body, the wrists still showing the marks of the rope that had tied them together, was taken to Tacoma last night. In the beautiful home overlooking Puget Sound where Charles was stolen, Dr. William w. Mattson, prominent surgeon, and his wife, club and society woman, were in 8 state bor- dering on collapse.
 It was believed that Charles had been dead at least three days-that, probably. he was killed Friday aft ernoon while his father was negoti- ating frantically with the kidnaper, trying for an opportunity to pay the demanded $28,000 ransom. His head had been crushed, apparently by a blow so severe that 1t knocked out several of his lower teeth. Death was believed to have been instan- taneou8.
 An autopsy was performed on the body last night. G-mcn forbade local officials to make any state- ment of its findings.
 Dealing With Mad Man
 But a spokesman for Dr. Matt son, who was so stunned by the tragic ending of his long vigil he could not make a public appear ance, revealed the family's suspicion based upon it's more than several communications from the kidnaper that they had been dealing with a mad man.
 The nude body seemed to con- firm this suspicion and recalled that a few days after Charles was stolen Tacoma police were reported hunt ing for a former patient of Dr. Madison, a man mentally deranged.
 In remarkable detail, the Matt son case paralleled the first oi Americas ang series of Kidnapping. the abduction and murder oi Charles A. Lindbcrgh, Jr. In both cases, the kidnaper negotiated with the parents after his victim wal dead. Both were eyasive in theii negotiations and both resorted tC newspaper advertisements. It was believed likely that Dr. Mattsor would have paid the ransom had moi the body been found.
 Many Clues Left
 But, unlike Bruno Richard Haupt- mann, the Mattson kidnaper Jeff many clues. The chief ones were: l. Footprints found in fresh snow of the field where Charles body was found. Casts of the prints were taken. Molds will be made iron plaster of paris. From these mold, G-men hope to deduct how tall tn, slayer is, how heavy and whether he is right or left-handed.
 2. Fingerprints on the ransom note, which can be checked witt millions of copies on file in tn, Washington, D. C., headquarterl and the northwest division burea, of Portland. Other fingerprint. may be available on the boys bod, and on notes which reached pr Mattson during the ransom ncgotia tions.
 3. The blue clay found under tn, boys nails. This was regarded a a highly important clue. From tn texture of the clay, soil experts ma, be able to determine the exact To cality Of the kidnaper's hideout. A

Ransom Notes by Mail

Ransom Notes by Mail
 Washington, Jan. 12-(UP)-Ran- som notes were sent through the mail to the family of Charles Matt son, slain 10 year old kidnap yic- tim, 1t was revealed today, thereby definitely establishing the authority of federal authorities to handle the case.
 The revelation came as President Roosevelt personally directed utmost federal effort to solve the case and Attorney General Homer s. Cum mings offered a $l0,000 reward for information leading to apprehension of the kidnaper -slayer-largest such reward ever offered by the federal government.
 The disclosure that ransom notes had been sent to the Mattson family through the mail had not been pre- vio'lsly made. It definitely fixed federal responsibility in the case after question arose regarding federal participation due to the fact the boys body was discovered near Everett, Wash, in the same state in which the Kidnapping transpired.
 Transportation across state line Is the usual factor on which federal participation is based under the Lindbergh kidnap law. Use of the malls is another.
