THOMAS DEFENDS ROSNER.
Calls Between" In Kidnapping Case
Trustworthy.


Senator Elmer Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, said yesterday he had ex-
pressed his faith in the trustworthiness
of Morris Rosner, designated by Col
Charles A. Lindbergh to deal with the
kidnapers of his baby, in an effort to
be helpful in the search by reassuring
the criminals that they could deal with
him without danger of exposure.
Although acquainted only casually
with RoSner, the Senator said he knew
the man to be well acquainted in execu
tive and congressional circles in Wash
ington. He recalled that Rosner once
was here seeking legislative action with
respect to some postal proposition, and
again seeking support for appointment
in the Secret Service. Otherwise. he
said, he knew little or nothing of Ros-
ner'S antecedentS
The Senator said he was led to ex-
press himself about Rosner by request
from the New York Times. When
asked II he knew Rosner, he recalled, he
replied, that he did and that he thought
him entitled to be trusted. His under
standing was, he said, that an effort
was being made to give Rosner some
kind Of standing to facilitate his deal
ingS with the kidnaperS.

In repl y to these questions and in
an effort to give the true facts, a de-

for the police. 1t was intended that

j. s. MAILING LISTS
USEDIN BABY HUNT.
1,400 Police Officials Inform
ed Through U. S. Bureau
of Investigation.

A grim appeal for the whole hearted
cooperation of the police of the ma
tion in solving the 12-day-old mystery
of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping went
out yesterday from the New Jersey
police by way of farfiung communica-
ton channels of the United States Bu-
reau of Investigation.
In a circular bearing the smiling
countenance of the curly haired son
Of the famous flyer. Col. H Norman
Schwarzkopf commanding the New
Jersey State police issued plea for
information of and kind" regardless
Of the source, and gave his word that
the name of such informants will be
kept confidential
At the request Of Col. Schwarzkopf,
J. Edgar Hoover director of the Bu-
reau Of Investigation, mailed the an
nouncement to approximately 1,4OO
police officials in as many cities and
towns. The bureau did not assist in
preparation of the circular, merely ex-
tending its extensive mailing list facili-
ties in line with the announced policy
of the bureau to cooperate to the
limit of its ability in the Lindbergh
search.
26 Field Offices Assisting.
Special agents of the bureau In the
26 field offices scattered throughout
the country are assisting in the ma
tion-wide hunt for clues. All informa-
ton thus gathered is being turned over
to Col. SchWarzkopf, who is directing
the official investigation at Hopewell,
N. ].
The identification and crime statis-
tics divisions of the Bureau of Inves-
tigation are in almost daily contact
with police officials in most of the
cities OF the nation, and the bureau
therefore has the most accurate and
comprehensive mailing list of law en-
forcement authorities to be had. It
was this knowledge that prompted the
New Jersey police to request Director
Hoover's aid in giving the circulars
the widest distribution possible.
Col Schwarzkopf advised the police
that, "tn our earnest desire to accom-
plish the recovery Of the baby" the
New Jersey authorities will welcome
information of any kind leading to its
return, regardless of the source"
Information Confidential.
'The identity of all people disclosing
information leading to recovery of the
baby" his announcement said, "wheth-
er the information be valuable or not,
will be treated with confidence"
The State police chief was quoted
later by the Associated Press as ex-
planning that the pledge of secrecy for
information was not to be construed as
a promise of immunity for any one
connected with the kidnapping. Police,
he reiterated, have no authority to Of

HOOVER EULOC|zES
JUDGE W|LKERSON.
Nominated JuriSt Because of
Fight on Gangsters, He
Tells Glenn.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Judge James H Wilkerson, who sent
Al Capone to jail without bail, was
given pat on the back yesterday by
President Hoover.
1t came as newspapers carried ap-
peals from Capone in his Chicago cell
to be released that he might hunt for
the kidnapers Of the Lindbergh baby.
Mr.. Hoover, the Government and
Congress are intensely interested in
finding the child, but officialdom here
also is more embittered than ever
against gangdom
If Lindbergh should appeal to the
Government for Capone's aid it is be-
lieved Federal authorities would do all
they could, but the Hoover statement
today on the man who sent Capone to
Jail was believed to represent the at
titude Of the administration on his re-
lease and on gangdom.
Gives Views to Glenn.
The President expressed himself to
Senator Glenn, Republican, Illinois,
who called at the White House. He
went so far as to tell Glenn he could
give his views to the press.
Leaving the White House, the Illi-
nois Senator said: The President is
willing that it be known that he has
nominated Judge Wilkerson to the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
in recognition of his services in fight
ing organized crime and gangsters. He
feels that such splendid services in be-
half of the public and against gang
land activities should be recognized, and
he made 1t clear such services would be
recognized
Wilkerson's nomination for advance
ment to the Circuit Court is now be-
fore the Senate. The Judge is facing
labor opposition because of injunctions
he granted in labor disputes.
An air Of mystery surrounds the Ca
pone angle of the case. 1t is known that
a mysterious individual approached a
man high in official circles here this
week with a proposition that if Capone
be released to hunt for the baby the
gangster was ready to furnish bond.
This message by the supposed ennis
| sary of gangdom's leader caused a mild
sensation and has been carefully
guarded. The emissary was told to re-
turn the following day. He did SO
dilu iSptdIeQ Tile Oilel.
Investigated Further.
But apparently the Government had
inquired deeply overnight. He was told
the administration was not dealing with
gangdom. If Lindbergh himself called
on the Government that was different
proposition. The door was closed by
the high official who was approached.
Capone himself expressed a convic-
| ton in his cell that if released he could
be helpful in finding the baby.
The cabinet has determined definitely
! to put all Government resources at the
command of the Lindberghs. This has
been done But it is realized by the
/ cabinet that the unhappy incident is
outside of Federal jurisdiction and
State matter Therefore, the Federal
authorities have been able only to offer
| their services to the State.
Senator Glenn said he did not discuss
with the President the question of re-
leasing Capone. Glenn has sponsored
Wilkerson's nomination in the Senate.

SCHOOL TEAMS
IN 5 GAMES
TODAY
BY GARRETT WATERS

Scholastic football gets down
to it's first serious business of the
year today when four of the city's
leading high school elevens swing
into action.
The complete schedule calls for
the following interesting clashes:
At Central, Coach CogginS' Cen
trail High School eleven plays
host to Baltimore City College in
a game at $3.50 o'clock.
At the new Western stadium,
Coach Dan Ahern's Western en-.
try engages st. Adams in another
$3.50 contest. Over at Eastern,
Coach Charlie (By Golly) Guyon's
Eastern High team tackles Alex
andria High at $3.50 o'clock.
Tech in Action
Last, but not the least, are
Techs games. They face the most
toughest assignment, meeting
both the strong Episcopal High
of Alexandria, Va, at Episcopal
and the National Training School
on the latter's field. Many would
ask how is Tech going to play
two games in one day. Here's
how. The first and second ag-
gregations oppose Episcopal while
the third and fourth outfits
tackle the Training School eleven.
Both contests are scheduled to
start at $3.50 p. m.
For two of the teams, today's
games will be the second of the
season. They include Tech and
Eastern. For Central it will be
that teams third engagement of
the year. while Western will be
making its debut.
Central lost to Erie Academy
last week, 7 to 0, then defeated
st. Johns Prep later, Z to 6.
Eastern defeated Episcopal High,
7 to 6, last Saturday for the first
time in IS years, while Tech over
whelmed Baltimore City College
in a 32to-7 game.
Trial for Western
Western, in making its debut,
this week, IS not facing the
strongest foe in the world in st.
Adams. but does not expect to
run wild, particularly as the game
is mostly a trial start for Coach
Ahern'S entry for the year. The
maroon-clad warriors, heralded
as possessing a powerful line, are
liable to do some tall playing, how
ever, today.
Two games are on tap tomor-
row to keep the ball rolling. Cen
trail is scheduled at Richmond,
Va, against the John Marshall
eleven. Tech has a game sched-
uled with Handley High at Win
chester, Va. The Manual Train
ers defeated Handley High last
year by decisive margin.

HUGE TASK

Thirty sturdy youngsters are
out for the football squad at Gal
laudet College. With about half
a dozen veterans returning from
last years eleven Head Coach
Teddy Hughes is to rely mainly
upon the new material for the
most part of the team. While
bulkiness this year is absent
among the new men, as usual,
there seems to be more fight and
pep in the new material. So far
in practice sessions the boys have
shown a rare combination of en-
thusiasm, fight and ability to exc
cute orders.
Gallaudet, the smallest institu-
ton of higher learning in this
city, has always had creditable
football teams. In order to get
around the lack of numbers, the
material has always been super
developed and the sturdiness of
the respective units has been
the keynote of Kendall Green
teams. With few if any replace
ments at hand Coach Hughes
must make the most of the boys.
Washington College, defeated
$50 by Maryland will be met by
Gallaudet at Kendall Green on
October 8. The Eastern Shore
eleven is not worrying the Ken
dali Greeners, rather they are
preparing for a full season of
somewhat hard games. With a
new line in the making under
Assistant Coach Wally Krug, the
backs are being looked after by
Head Coach Hughes.
