Most of these bills are and gold-bactis are conspicuous by their color and also their rarity. Virtually every bank teller in major arrests wee made directly through radio alarms during the first four months of the svstem. It takes an average two minutes from the time a crime is reported until three or four police cars, having received the alarm from the police broadcasting station, arrive on the scene. The fact that so manv irmii mander of the State Police, is the man who knows Col.

Lindbergh's itinerary when the famous knight of the air goes off on one of his long-distance journeys. Should any developments arise in connection with the kidnaping which would require Lindbergh's presence, Schwarzkopf would know how to get in touch with him immediately. While on long journeys, the Lindberghs keep in constant communication with the Morrow estate, ever anxious about the welfare of Jon. Contrary to general belief, the Lind made at crime scenes eliminates long-drawn-out investigations, ihe necessity of looking up witnesses and other forms of police work that run into real expense. In Los Angeles, a city of wide distances, results have been enormous.

But even the great New York Department will have to bow to the Fnglewood radio system for the Englewood cars will be capable not only of receiving alarms from headquarters; they will be equipped with sending apparatus enabling them to talk to head, quarters and lo each other. It will readily be seen then, what a valuable addition the new radio system will be to the elaborate cloak MAKING the country is familiar with the numbers of the bills; so are thousands of employees of telegraph offices and mer cantile One of these days, one of the kidnapers may throw to the four winds the caution that has obviously been exercised so far and, in a spending spree, leave a trail of gold-backs that will lead directly to his lair. of protection already flung around little Jon Morrow Lindbergh INFALLIBLE RECORD Graphic Conception of the Way in Which an Expert Took the Fingerprints of the Second Lindbergh Son, to Be Filed in the V.

Such a "beat" is utterly berghs have not deserted the big white house in the Sourland Mountains, near Hopewell, New Jersey, where the kidnaping was perpetrated. Their butler, Ollie Whately, who- died after an operation late last May, and his wife, remained there as caretakers after the abduction.

Other servants have now been assigned to live in the house and keep it in readiness for an. unexpected visit of the Lindberghs.

Col.

li. Gorman Schwarzkopf, militant com insistence on leading his own life in his own way wouldn't be surprised if little Jon accompanied his parents on one of their visits to Hopewell this Summer. Before the kidnaping, Lindbergh used to make a practice of stopping at a gas station in Hopewell and filling up his tank. Now, however, he always makes certain that he' has enough gas to get him in and out of town without a stop. The public announcement by the Lindberghs that they have donated these famous buildings and grounds for public benefactions in the form of a children's welfare center, does not at this time and will not for some time, affect the status of the property.

Despite surface indications to the contrary, the hunt for the slayers of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, remains virtually unabated.

Most of the detectives on the force of the State Police who were assigned to the case at its inception are still working on the mystery, night and day, to the exclusion of everything else. Uncle Sam, like the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, never drops a case; and J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the Bureau of Investigation of the United States Department of Justice, is today actively engaged on the crime. Last May, when Lindbergh was in Washington testifying against the infamous Gaston B. Means, who used the kidnaping as a lever for a gigantic swindle, he conferred with the Government on the latest moves in the investigation.

A hundred letters or more, from cranks and from private detectives and amateur sleuths who claim to have information of value in the case, pour in daily to the little red brick postoffice in Hopewell. Each afternoon, just before the post-office closes, one of the State troopers who maintains a constant vigil at the Sourland Mountain estate, calls for the mail. Anything that might point the way to a clue, no matter how fragile, is quickly run to earth. The license number of every automobile that passes the police shack at the entrance to Lindbergh's private driveway at Hopewell is jotted down and checked up. The police have not overlooked the jwell -known truth that criminals frequently revisit the scenes of their craven deeds; and they hope that one of these days they may find a license number that has been issued to a shady character who might prove to be one of the kidnapers.

TAe ransom bills, however, at present constitute the chief hope of cracking the case.
