TAX BROTHERS"
 FACE PROSECUTION
Treasury Dept. Prepares to Check on Misrepre-
 sentatiOn After Oct. 1

Washington Sept. 30-(UP)-The Treasury prepared today to crack down on "taX profiteers'-dealers who attempt to reap, larger profits by misrepresenting the new federal excise taxes which go into effect tomorrow.
 The Bureau of Internal Rev. enue, an official said, will seek the prosecution of:
 l. Any merchant who increases the price of an article 20 per cent to cover a 10 per cent tax, and then advertises that the entire la- crease is due to added taxation.
 2. Any merchant who by pur- chasing in large quantities, under sells smaller competitors and calls attention to his accomplishment by telling the public i've absorb the tax"
 The bureau is relying on its re- cently-increased staff of field agents and upon consumers to detect law violations. The Office of Price Ad- ministration also plans to watch price increases closely.
 A section of the revenue code provides maximum fine of $l,000 for dealers falsely blaming higher prices on the new federal levies. The 194l tax bill contains ;ec- tion providing a similar penalty for

MORE FOOTPRINTS
 SPUR ON SEARCH
Parents of Missing Child Still Have Hopes of Find-
 ing Her Alive

Conway, N. H., Sept. S0-(UP)- More tiny footprints were discovered on the shores of Iona lake today and Mrs. Joseph D. Hollingworth said this gave her new hope" that her Ave- -year.old ughter Pamela would be found alive despite two days exposure in frosty mountain wilderness.
 perhaps 1t is . forlosn hope, but both my husband ana l are still trying to be optimistic" the heart- broken mother sobbingly told the United Press.
 "It'S been pretty cold in the woods since Fanny got lojt Sunday, but the weather hasn't been too bad. Maybe they're just trying to cheer me up, but the leaders of the search say they're confident she'll Do found alive"
 Still nursing on infected shoul- der, and dog-tired after 0 sleepless night ct hunt headquarters, Pamela s father rejoined the army of Search- CTS concentrated. around Iona lake this morning. Mrs, Hollingworthr nearly prostrate with worry, re- mained at a Conway tourist lodge but kept in close touch with de- velopments by telephone.
 Despite the words of cheer sent to the mother, chilled and exhausted possemen, wGrming themselves around a roaring fire at White Ledge camp, expressed little hope that the lightly-cla child would be found alive. They doubted that Pamela could have found any shel- ter that would adequately protect her against the 24-degree cold.
 The first se.s of footprints on the sandy shores of the lake were found late yesterday.
 One of the searchers reported during the night that he heard what sounded like the cries of a chile enranating fIom the black forest After an investigation, however search leaders decided today that the cries probably came from some wild animal or bird.
