LINDBERGH BABY'S RETURN HELD NEA Report Says Father Has Es- fij tablehed Contact With " Kidnaping Gang. (Conginued From Pirst Page.) search has made detailed inquiry unproductive. Handwriting Is Different. ‘The early morning questionnaire re- vealed that the handwriting of Henry (Red) Johnson, sailorman friend of Miss Gow, who is held for questioning by Newark police, has been checked against that on past card messages to the Lindberghs intercepted at Newark, South , N. J., and Hartford, Conn,, and that the handwriting was not the same. ‘The police said that there was an in- terval of 20 minutes between the dis- covery of the kidnaping the night of March 1 and the notification of police. In reply to a question: “Has the baby been found and taken an institu- tion?” the answer was: “No.” The police were asked: “Was Col. Schwarzkopf correctly quoted yesterday when he was understood to say: ‘The resent condition of Mrs. Lindbergh’s ge:lth is such we cannot interfere with the privacy of the family?’” There was no answer to this question. Mrs. Lindbergn was up and about the estate yesterday, appearing with her mother, Mrs. Dwight Morrow, and Mrs. Breckenridge. She was dressed in black and appeared to be in good health. Col, Lindbergh continued his restless walks about the estate. His spirits seemed improved, and he was observed playing for a moment with the little terrier which tramps the woods with him. A prolonged conference was held last nlghtvrget'leen Col. Lindbergh and Dr. John Grier Hibben, president of Prince- ton University and close personal friend of the Lindberghs. Hibben Spends Hours. At dusk the fiyer came out of his home and went for a stroll. At 7:45p.m. Dr. Hibben drove up. Col. Lindbergh went into the house with his 70-year- old friend. For more than an hour they were closeted together. The troopers prepared today to con- tinue a fine-comb search of the scraggly terrain surrounding the Lindbergh home. Armed with maps, they expect to _cover every inch of the ground. In view of the announcement yester- day that “progress” had been made in the search, the police were asked last night if the progress had been con- tinued. The answer was: “Situation about the same.” Despite all the activity, the rumors and hints, the one fact remained: The Lindbergh baby is still missing. LINER SEARCHED IN VAIN.

WASHINGTON, By the Assoclated Press. The indignation in Congress at the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby has resulted in passage by the House of a bill which will place severe punishment on senders of threatening letters or messages arranging for collection of kidnap ransom through the mails. The act still must be approved by the Senate, however, and there a disposition has developed not to rush action that might endanger the Lindbergh child by frightening its kidnapers, even though its terms could not apply to a crime already committed. Under the bill maximum penalties of $5,000 fine and 20 years imprisonment could be meted out for the crime. Bill Passed Quickly. Pausing during consideration of a series of bills designed to slash $15,000, 000 from the postal deficit and hel balance the budget, Chairman Mead of the Post Office Committee called up the Cochran bill and it was approved in less than five minutes. Applause greeted Speaker Garner's announcement that the bill was passed. In its report the committee said: “A new outrage has been perpetrated in the kidnaping of the son of the famous aviator, Charles A. Lindbergh, and our mail system used to convey the threats and demands of the kid- napers. “This latest flendish act has so im- pressed our committee that it is deemed advisable while the Congress and the country are in a state of preparation to report this legislation when its chance of consideration and approval are excellent and for the added purpose that it will bring to the assistance of the States and localities the aid of the Federal Government in stamping out this most atrocious form of crime.” Boost Postal Revenues. The House also passed postal legis- lation intended to increase revenues by over $15,000,000 and definitely shelved the Brunner bill to stop the automatic salary reductions which take effect when revenues of a post office drop below its classification. The bills passed and sent to the Sen- ate would provide: An increase in registered mail fees estimated to add $7,000,000 annually to Federal revenue. An increase in insurance and c.o.d. charges estimated to bring in $2,500,000. A $100 fee charged for entry of a publication as second-class matter and $10 charge for re-entry, estimated to add $500,000 in revenue. Raise Money Order Fees. Permission for transient second-class matter sent by other than publishers and registered agents, estimated on the basis of prospective increased business to add $500,000. An increase in money order fees esti- mated to add over $1,250,000. A prohibition against depositing in resident letter boxes circulars and bills bearing no postage, estimated to add $4,000,000, by forcing the use of the mails in sending such matter. (This prohibition already applies to rural letter boxes.) Permission for the Post Office De- partment to charge extra for the pay- ment of money orders at offices other than those on which the orders are drawn. Authorization for railroads to provide mail transportation by motor truck in- stead of train. PARK OFFICER HURT Policeman Nurses Sore Back After Car Overturns on Ice. Park Policeman P. E. Allen today nursed a sore back and shoulder in- jured yesterday when his police scout car skidded and overturned on ice- covered Tidal Basin road. The accident oteurred while Allen was chasing a speeding truck. He had just passed four cars and was cutting back to the right side ot the road when his machine struck an icy place in the road. Skidding into the gutter, the car turned over and slid about 70 feet on its side. When an examination disclosed no broken bones, the police physician per- mitted Allen to return to work today. WOMAN DIES IN STREET Miss Marjorie Reed Believed Vic- tim of Heart Attack. Miss Marjorie Reed, 32, of Herndon, Va., a clerk in the General Accounting Office, collapsed today while walking along Seventeenth street between Penn- sylvania avenue and H street and died before she could be removed to Emer- gency Hospital. Death was believed due to heart disease. Joel Thacker of 1432 R street saw Miss Reed fall, hailed a taxicab and sent her to the hospital. She was pro- nounced dead upon arrival. AUTOIST FREED AGAIN SAN FRANCISCO, March 10 (#).— Alfred C. Manning—who drives a green coupe bearing a New Jersey license— is at liberty to drive it some more if he chooses. That, however, might lead to his 26th arrest since Charles A. Lindbergh, jr., was kidnaped. Police here made the 25th last night. They verified Manning’s account of a three-week tour from Trenton, N. J., and gave him a clean bill. . 10. Was a roll of adhesive tape left by the kidnapers in the nursery? A. No. 11. Have you received any report on the Skillman angle of the investigation?

GIPSY KNG OFFERS AD T LINOBERGH Leon Mitchell Goes to Hope- well, but Will Return Here This Week. | | | Leon Mitchell, head of the Mitchell tribe of gypsies, was en route to the Lindbergh home near Hopewell, N. J., today to offer his followers’ services to the parents of the kidnaped baby. | Mitchell, who flew here from Phila- delphia yesterday to confer with his | attorney, Robert I. Miller, was ex- ‘ pected to return for another consulta- | tion today. On the advice of his law- yer, however, he decided to go to Hope- well instead, with a view to conferring with representatives of the Lindberghs. He will come here later in the week, Mr. Miller said. | Meanwhile, a note found in a Seventh | street apartment formerly occupied by | gypsies was turned over to inspector Prank S. W. Burke, chief of cetectives, with the suggestion that he have it ex- amined by a handwriting expert. The object of such an examination, it was explained, would be to determine whether the lettering matched the writ- | ing on a postcard received by the Lind- berghs from the kidnapers. ‘Written by Boy. The letter was taken to police head- quarters by Detective Jess Birch, acting on the order of Capt. William E. Holmes, | precinet commander. It was written, the detective said, by an 18-year-old | gypsy boy when he and his family lived in the 700 block of Seventh street. ‘ The youth was questioned after his | father, informed by another gypsy that | he was wanted for interrogation, went | to the first precinct station. Both fa- ther and son were questioned exten- sively, but neither was held. | Search for the father was begun last night following the release of Noah | Stanley, also a gypsy, who was picked | up for interrogation after it was learned | rfie ‘;ud made a recent visit to Newark, Stanley, who gave an address in the 900 block of Eleventh street, was ar- | rested by Birch and Detective James | Kane, also of the first precinct. After several hours’ questioning, how- | ever, he convinced the investigators he had no knowledge of the abduction. Went to Uncle’s Funeral. He went to Newark on Febru- ary 23, he explained, to attend the fu- neral of his uncle, Charles Stanley, who had died the day before in Voxhall, & suburb of Newark. His statement was confirmed by Newark authorities, as well as by several friends, who also attended the funeral. He remained in Newark two days, they said, returning to Wash- ington before the kidnaping. | The detectives decided to arrest Stan- | ley, they explained, when they learned he | and his sister and brother-in-law made the trip to New Jersey in an automobile | of the same color as the one thought to have been used by the abductors. The car, owned by the brother-in-law, Eddie Crabtree, was found to have no connec- tion with the kidnaping, however. Organizing for Search. Meanwhile gypsies all along the Atlantic Coast were organizing with a view to beginning a search of their own for the missing child. Mitchell decided to have his follow- ers join the search for the kldnlpe‘d baby, Miller explaineq, after Stanley's arrest. Previously, the Jawyer said, sev- eral other gypsies had been picked up by New Jersey police following receipt of a tip that a caravan of gypsies had passed through Hopewell, N. J., about the time of the abduction. -— RABBI GOLD IS SPEAKER Appeals for Intensive Instruction in Traditional Religion. A plea for more intensive instruction in the traditional religion was voiced by Rabbi Wolf Gold of New York in the main address at the meeting last night | of the Jewish Education Association at | the Jewish Community Center. In his talk Rabbi Gold declared Jew- ish education in the United States is| strongly influenced by and adjusted to the environment-of everyday life. Re- liglon should be stressed in that educa- tion and as much “of the traditional re- ligion as possible” should be taught. | Rabbi Abram Simon and Barnard | Danzansky, president of the Jewish | Education Association, also spoke briefly. | Prayers were given by Rabbi J. T. Loeb and Rabbi Solomon Metz. The program was completed by music. 3,000 MILES BY BICYCLE , .

By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, March 10.—James C. Shanessy, president of the Journey- men Barbers' International Union, in the March issue of the Journeyman Barber, criticizes the leadership of the Amerjcan Federation of Labor for “lacking in militancy.” ‘The Labor Federation, Shanessy says, should challenge economic conditions by mapping out a real organization campaign. The drive, he contends, should be unending until all are within the ranks of the organized. The head of the Barbers’ Union says his motive in bringing this matter to the attention of organized labor is not with destructive intent, “but to bring back once more into our federation the aggressive spirit exemplified by Samuel Gompers.” Shanessy tells of attending a confer- ence at the federation headquarters, in Washington, February 9, where Presi- dent William Green read a document entitled “Labor's Appeal for Economic and Legislative Relief.” “As we gave our attention to this reading,” the article continues, “* * * we realized with a sickening sense of despair that this document was but a reiteration of the platitudinal orations and beseechments we have heard so often. “Is the supereme court of the labor movement unable or unwilling to take the initiative * * * and map out a plan of action? President Green's con~ ference was indeed a pitiful failure in so far as offering any definite or con- crete plan of action to help organized labor meet existing circumstances.” MINERS WIN WAGE FIGHT 27 Operators in Ohio Fields Agree to New Scale.
