IloIs Supmltteo by reporters remained
unanswered today when Col. H. Norman
Schwartzkopf, head of the State police
investigating the Lindbergh kidnapping
announced that the daily question
mares would be discontinued The ques-
tions follow:
l.. AS being one Of the three mair
possibilities explaining the kidnapping
and IN view of many contradictory an
Swers, we would like definite informa-
tlon as TO the search conducted by
State police in the immediate vicinity
of the Lindbergh home. We consider
these especially important in light oi
the possibility that the baby might have
been abandoned at any hour since the
kidnapping and might now be alive ir
some remote spot In the wilderness
abandoned as the result of the fright
of the kidnapers:
A. Please tell in detail what steps
State police took to obtain bloodhound:
before finding as previously announced
that none were available, inasmuch as
we are given to understand by dog au-
thorities that 100 or more good blood
hounds could have been made available
at Hopewell within two hours after the
kidnapping was reported.
B. Is 1t the opinion of State police
authorities that bloodhounds would not
be able to trace the footprints of the
kidnapers within few hours after the
kidnapping?
C. In case the answer to these ques-
tions is the usual mo answer" we wish
to point out that these matters do not
concern the personal affairs of the Lind
berghs and do not concern future po-
lice attempts to contact the kidnapers
or recover the baby, but are merely to
establish whether thorough, humani-
tartan effort has been made to discover
whether the baby might have been
abandoned IN the vicinity Of the Lind
bergh home. If the answer to previous
questions Is mo answer" please explain
why such an answer was made.
Search Held Incomplete.
2. 1t Is our information that there
are several thousand acres of wild and
wooded land surrounding the Lind
bergh home. A check-up made by some
reporters Thursday indicated that some
homes within a fairly short walking
distance of the Lindbergh estate have
not yet been visited by police. We have
already been informed that the search
of the area was not continuous and that
the National Guard was not called out
because it was police matter" Again
pointing out the possibility that the
baby might have been abandoned in
this area at any time since the kidnap-
ing, We wish to know:
A. How many acres Of land around
the Lindbergh home have been thor
oughly searched?
B. How many police took part in
this search?
C. Please name the days upon which
the search was conducted, how many
men engaged each day, how many acres
searched each day.
feel completely satisfied that the baby
the Lindbergh home, and, If so, how
do they arrive at that conclusion.
(Again call your attention to ques-
tion 1-C)
If the State police have not en-
gagged steadily enough men to properly
make thorough search of the thou
sands of acres of wooded land around
the Lindbergh home, why has not some
public announcement of that fact been
made, so that militia or a posse could
have been called in to assist, In order
to save the baby's life in the event that
1t was abandoned in the woods by the
hdnapers.
Demand Definite Answer.
z. II the answer to any OF the above
Is "No answer" or Not to our knowl-
edge" kindly explain why.
8. 1t has been frequently reported
that the word gut" meaning good" "
appeared in the original ransom note.
In view of this, or If the State police
do not wish to commit themselves as to
the existence of a ransom note, in view
OF any matter they have investigated or
learned, have they paid any special at
tentlon to an investigation covering per-
sons OF German extraction in the near
by community? Reporters who ques-
toned people in the vicinity Thursday
talked to some persons of German ex-
traction who had not been questioned
by State police. If you do not care to
make direct answer to this question,
nave you any other comment to make?
4. II the answer to the previous ques-
tlon Is, No answer" or I'VE have no
knowledge of this" or something SINH
lar, viii you kindly explain why the
question cannot be answered?

as to Johnson'S nationality. Can you
settle this point If you have the infor-
birth. etc? ''

out OF the Lindbergh house at any time
on Cne week end prior to the kidnapping.
IL Is our understanding that Betty Cow

ments OF johnson, had dates" together
on Sunday and Monday nights. Will

crepancy?
Z. Will you please give us a definite
answer as to whether Col Lindbergh
has communicated or attempted to COM
munlcate with the kidnapers by news
paper advertisement, letter, telephone
or oy any other means or whether he
has received any message by letter, tele-
phone, telegraph, or by newspaper ad-
Vertlsement or by any other means
which he believes to have come from
the kldnapers? If the answer to this
is the usual mo answer" will you
kindly explain why the question is not
answered?
8. Previous answer said that State
police have no knowledge that Morris
RoSner has record in New York Can
you tell us Just what his connection Is
in the present case, whether he is in
any way associated with Frank Aranow
and whether he has been or has claimed
to be in touch with the kidnapers?

nue. massacre, being sought by the po-
