Suspect is Released

Rockland. Me. May e2 UP)- Robert Tondera of Mexico City, who was arrested at North Haven last midnight after trying unsuccessfully to see Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, was released today from the Rock land jail
 High Sheriff Frank Harding of Knox county said he was convinced that Tondera was harmless and had only intended to discuss a business proposition with Lindbergh.
 Tondera's release came after he had been questioned at length by Sheriff Harding and other officials. He told them he was an inventor and aviation mechanic. and that he had developed an airplane motor in which he had hoped to interest the famous transatlantic airman.
 Asked why he had chosen Lind bergh for his business interview, Tondera said he had once met the colonel and had felt that with Lind tereh's support the airpIane motor might be marketed successfully.
 Immediately after being freed from custody. Tondera. who was ar rested as suspicious person, boarded a Portland bound train. de- claring he had no further desire 10 visit the Morrow estate at North Haven.
 He was arrested at midnight by a local constable after members of the North Haven board of selectmen had visited the private home where he was staying.
 Following closely the disclosure that Ambassador Dwight w. Nor rows 15-year-old daughter Con- stance, a student at the military academy in Milton. Mass. had re- ceived a death threat demanding s50.0O0. the midnight argest caused excitement on this nor mally quiet little island
 Makes Several Attempts
 Tondero arrived here yesterday on the 1:3o D. m. boat from Rockland, ca irving a small black bag. Shortly afterward he made his first attempt 10 see Colonel Lindbergh. Guards on duty around the estate refused to permit him 10 pass. Several subse- ouent attempts to get by the guards also failed.
 After receiving reports that "a stranger on the island was acting the selectmen set out to locate him. It was several hours before Tondera finally was found at 2 private home.
 Tondera. when questioned. insist ed that he had come here merely 10 discuss an important matter with Colonel Lind bergh. Search Of his lif- tie black bag revealed only extra safety razor. and pass port. No weapon was found on him.
 The selectmen ordered Consta ble Godney Haskell to arrest Tondera. however. and declared he would be held pending further investigation.
 Coast Guard Called
 Sheriff Frank Harding of Knox county was notified at his Rockland home. As there is no jail on the is- land. coast guard boat was sent here from Eockland, and Tondera. in the custody Of armed coast guards. was taken to the Rockland jail.
 II was announced that as result of Hondera's s arrest. Sheriff Harding today would appoint a deputy sheriff to guard the North Haven dock during the stay here Of Colonel Lindbergh and members Of the Nor row family.
 Tondera's arrest was the 1rs' made here in about 200 years on . suspicious person" charge.

Blodgett be- fere the kiwanis club at the Burritt hotel this noon when he stated that New Britain was better than the average city in its payment of taxes to the state. The amount of unpaid taxes due the state from this city yearly would give the average lay man the impression that New Brit ain was dilatory in paying it's taxes but Mir. Blodgett dispelled this im- pression.
 Mir. Blodgett also dealt with per sonal tax payments in this city and said that in 1928, S5.2 per cent of the taxes due were collected which New Britain's size. He explained that New Britain is improving every year. giving figures to show that in 1893 only 46.1 per cent were col iected and that each year afterwards the percentage has increased.
 He gave figures to show the amount of taxes that has been col lected in Connecticut in the last three years by way of local. county. state and federal taxes and stated that Connecticut has as good tax system as any other state in the country.
 Preceding Mir. Blodgett's speech, slogan contest was held by the publicity committee in connection with the campaign for a municipal golf course. The slogan. Drive New Britain Forward With Our New Golf Course submitted by Thure Johnson was voted the best and he was awarded a gold piece.
