 according to the report, which add- ed that Golding was born of a Spanish father and British mother. According to the reports at St. Jean De Luz, the documents found in Goodman's baggage concerned for tifications in the Madrid region and various troop movements but did not concern the proposed National ist offensive in eastern Spain. A British non-intervention officer who arrived at St. Jean De Luz told correspondents that he had seen no incidents there between December 1 and December 10, while he was at Burgos.
 Rebel Communique
 Burgos, Spain, Dec. 22-(UP)-A Spanish Nationalist communique said today that documents found in the baggage of British Vice Counsul Harold Goodman undoubtedly were meant to inform enemies of Nation alist Spain regarding future mili- tary operations"
 The communique made it plain that the documents were found in a bag sent by the British vice con- sulate, of which Goodman happened to be the bearer. It was added that British representatives had shown the greatest desire to clear up the incident.
 "A detailed investigation which is being carried out seems to prove the existence of spy organization which used for communication with the enemy, the means in which the documents in question were discov- ered," said the communique.

disclosed that as recently as last January, federal income tax inves- tigators approved the departments reports, presumably after having made an inspection.
 Hunting Evidence
 Police Inspector Michael McDer- mott joined federal and state tnves- tigators on the case today hunting evidence in the murders of Joseph and Barney Cohen, poultry dealers, in 1882. Their murders were a month apart. McDermott asked federal agents for all known facts on Coster- -Musica, for althoug the idea was fantastic, to him, he said he could not overlook the fact that the Cohens were in a position to know that CoSter was Musica, and that the motive for the murders may have been to silence them.
 Further, CoSter- -MuSica once ale most succeeded in sending Joseph Cohen to the electric chair on per- jured testimony, and he would have had reason to want revenge.
 Started in 1914
 The case originated in 1914, when Barnet Baff, a chicken dealer, was murdered. Philip Musica, on be- ing released from jail after the human hair" swindle, went to work in the attorney generals office as stool pigeon. Joseph Cohen was charged with murdering Baff. Mu- sica produced two witnesses who Swore that Cohen was guilty. Co., hen was sentenced to death. Hints that Musicals witnesses had per- jured themselves began to be heard. Cohens' execution was postponed several times, once only II minutes before he was to have died. In 1920 he was tried again and freed. Mu- sica's witnesses were convicted of perjury and he was charged with subornation to perjury. He immedi- ately disappeared.
 Another phase of CoSter- -Musica's link with the poultry racket has turned up with the arrest of Ben- jamin Simon. He is under $4,000 bond chraged with conspiracy to violate a United States law" Irv- ing Kaufman, assistant U. s. attor- ney, said that Simon was associ- ated with Musica in his stool pigeon days in 1916. Simon told federal agents he knew all the time Cos- ter was Musica. He said they operated the Adelphua Drug and Chemical company together in 1921 before Musica organized Girard & O., and changed his name. As soon as Coster- -Musica took over McKes- son and Robbins, he put Simon on the payroll at 5000 a year.

themselves, he said. A favorite trick is for swindlers to go to private homes and appeal for funds in the name of some charity organization, making their appeal a Christmas one. If in doubt, MT. Green em- phasized, the police or Chamber of Commrece should be called.
 Counterfeit bills, he said, are of- ten much in evidence during the holiday rush, and he recommends that bills, especially those of large denomination, be carefully in- spected.
 Interruptions SaIesmen
 The Christmas season often makes possible rich harvest for un- scrupulous statesmen, MT. Green stated. One of their practices is to offer good-looking merchandise, such as fur coats, furs or jewelry. tell the prospect that 1t has been smuggled or stolen, and offer 1t at what appears to be bargain price. Later on, the purchaser finds that the article he bought was cheap and shoddy and that he could have made 8 much better buy at any re- putable store.
 The Chamber of Commerce and the police, said MT. Green, are ready and willing to help in any way pos sible.

involved. If selling non-beverage cosmetics and perfume preparations up to 1927 or 1928 was criminal every large drug house did the same arfd the government checked and approved such transactions the merger was made to expand the sales of patent medicines of an old house such as McKesson.
 Failed To Do Its Part
 "The wholesale division in 10 years has failed to do it's part in selling our manufactured products at any profit to the plant-the heavy secret campaign funds paid by bankers enabled them to turn the cards on me as the goat inci- dentally making me the political pawn of three Investigating agencies to see which could get the jump and glory on the other.

What Ickes Said

Cleveland, Dec. 22.-UP).-Re- marks by Secretary of Interior Har- old L. Ickes regarding Germany, which were the object of a protest by the Reich, were made here Sum- day night and were broadcast na- tionally.
 Ickes, in a speech before the Cleve- land Zionist society, attacked Ann ericanS who accept Nazi medals and referred specifically to Henry Ford and Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.
 The cabinet officer added that Germany's persecution of Jews had carried back that nation to a period of history when man was unlettered, benighted and bestial."
 How can Americans endure upon their breasts the sinister insignia that has been derisively bestowed upon them?" Ickes asked. How can they pretend that, in accepting the shabby baubles of a dictator they are honoring the great people whom the dictator has victimized and de- graded?
 Calls For Answer
 Perhaps Henry Ford and Col Charles A. Lindbergh will be willing to answer these questions which, am sure, have occurred to millions of other free-born Americans.
 "Nor are these the only two free citizens of a free country who obsequiously have accepted tokens of contemptuous distinctions at 8 time when the bestower of them counts that day lost when he car commit no new crime against hu- manity."
 Ickes said it would seem to me that any American who accepts such a trinket, defaced as it ;s by the suffering and miseries and degrada- tion of helpless and innocent peo- pie, automatically forswears his Am- erican birthright."
 He said he wished personally that Americas gates might be thrown open ito the political refugees ot any country"

state investigators, or whether il supplied the missing details of how Coster-Musica was able to disap- pear in 1920, while under perjury indictment in poultry racket case and reappear five years later in Wall Street as CoSter, industrial organizing genius.
 Will Pass Out Copies
 Reich said he would pass out copies of the one at the federal building today. He went there yes- terday and read excreptS of 1t to Gregory F. Noonan, assistant U. S. attorney who is presenting the case to a grand jury as it daily mfolds with new, fantastic details. Two unSolved murder cases now have :, entered the picture, both of them COT nected with the poultry racket, and Coster-Musica's double life has been traced to 1929. At that time Coster had been president of the nations third largest drugs firm for a year and Musica, by some mys- tsrious means, was having the per- jury charges against him dropped in general sessions court.
 Takes Full Blame , In taking the full blame, Philip Musica was repeating himself. He had done the same thing in 1909, after he had involved the family's imported foods business in cheese smuggling charges, and in 1913 when all male members of the family had been arrested for a $1,000,000 swindle with human hair com pany.
 It was understood that his suicide note named others implicated with him in the McKesson & Robbins swindle, but not his brothers. The brothers, however, were so deeply involved that they were held under $100,G00 bonds. George Musica, alias George s. Dietrich, was as- sistant treasurer of McKesson and Robbins, in charge of all details of the fictitious crude drugs depart ment.
 $ Arthur Musica, alias George Ver- nard, headed a dummy corporation, F W. w. Smith & O., which drained $150000 a year from McKesson and Robbins as commissions on pretend ed purchases and sales for the crude drugs department. The other . brother, Robert Musica, alias Robert Dietrich, was a purchasing agent tor McKesson and Robbins.
 No Listed Assets
 s Despite the fact that the whole crude drugs department was a loss, : none of its listed assets having -been found, investigators believed that the Musicas profited not more than $4,000,000 from the swindle. sCoster- -Musica drew a salary of $40,000 a year, annual dividends of s$40,000, and probably got more or all of the $150,000 annual commis- sions paid to Smith & Co.
 The manner in which the faked was concealed from di- ,rectors, stockholders, auditors and financial packers for ten years be- came even more of a mystery. The securities and exchange commission

 The controlled Nazi press con- tended that it was childish" to say that Ickes could make such speech es without official sanction.
 Attack Increases
 The intensity of the attack on IckeS was increased in today's news papers.
 "This strange minister of the interior plans to ban the use of Ger man steamers for U. s. mail in view of the detestable character of the German regime" the Volkischer Beobachter said.
 "He seems" earnestly to believe that system is not detestable un- der which the United States min- isters seek to provoke a kind of state of war between Germany and the United States and to urge the breaking off of relations at precise ly the moment when there appear happily many symptoms of clarifi- cation on the horizon.
 'This especially is the reason why the irresponsible activities of Ickes and his consorts is so reprehensi- ble.
 Tt is to be hoped the United States will not fall victim of these pirates of public opinion but make an effort to understand European problems instead of listening to the vicious insinuations of the war mongers."
 German Envoy Silent
 Washington, Dec. 22.-UP)-The German embassy's charge d'affaires, Dr. Hans ThonSen, declined today to comment on an announcement in Berlin that he had protested to the state department against Secre- tary of Interior Ickes' recent speech at Cleveland.
 Dr. Thomsen implied, however, that the protest was made yester- day. Acting Secretary of State Welles, when asked yesterday about 8 call Dr. Thomsen had just com- pleted, said it did not concern the subject on which Thomsen had called the day before. He added that he had no comment on the visit. Welles was not available and other department officials declined to comment.
