HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 24.—Investigators of the Dis- trict Attorney’s office today disclosed maniacal extortion notes against the family of David O. Selznick and Anna May Wong, Chinese actress. Miss Wong received one note threatening to disfigure or cripple her unless she ad- vanced $20,000 for the financ- ing of a motion picture. One letter to Mrs. Selznick demanded $20,000 or harm would come to her young son and also to her father. ‘The Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion has not yet been called into the two cases but probably will be asked to give assistance to the in- vestigators of the District Attorney's office.
