Dept, of Justice Record

Akron, Ohio, March 2 (UP)-A department of justice investigation of Jerry Tarbot. which closed here today, indicates that Tarbot lived in Akron on two different occa- sions, once as James Keller and again as Howard Noble.
 Department agents have checked back the record of Noble and said he was the son of New York wine wholesaler. They were partly inclined to believe Tarbot's real name may have beeen Noble, al- though that like his other names may have been an alias.
 Keller, who worked in Akron, was a Canadian veteran who re- ceived markedly discharge after his desertion overseas to join an American outfit in which he never formally enlisted. He returned to Canada after the war. and thence came to Akron in 1921.
 His discharge from his position here led to wanderings which coin eide closely with those Tarbot is said to have made. Canadian, French and English secret services are cooperating in the verlficatlon of Keller's war record.
