RELEASED MONEY
BRINGING RELIEF.
Results of Anti-Hoarding
Drive GratifieS Secretary
Mills and Others.

While the local campaign to put idle
dollars to work moved steadily forward
today, several encouraging reports indi-
Gated generally improved financial con-
oitions throughout the country.
The anti-hoarding drive of the Pres
ident was credited with showing a
marked increase in the number of dol
lars taken out of boarding and thrown
into business and into baby bonds. Sec
retary of the Treasury Mills expressed
qualification. He said, however, it would
be impossible to estimate the amount
of baby bonds purchased by citizens
because they first must be purchased
from the Treasury by banks.
Locally the radio program against
boarded dollaxs continued: Joseph P.

qualification over the response here In

that actual results we're being achieved,
and voiced his appreciation for the
cooperation of each worker partlclpat-

Reports from the District OF Columbia
Bankers Association showed tnat sales
of baby bonds yesterday exceeded
those on any single day since the cam
paign started. Many thousands OF DOL
lars are being invested here In these
securities of the small denominations OF
$50, 500 and $500.

Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf,
superintendent Of New Jersey
State police, announced today the
police would discontinue replying
to queStionnaireS on the Lindbergh
kidnapping case and instead would
issue bulletins twice daily-at II
am. and 10 pm.
Answering the questionnaires,
Col. Schwarzkopf said, "has taken
a great deal of our time which
really belongs to the advancement
OF the work" and his formal state
ment expressed regret the at
tate to the police"
Assurance was given that the
moment anything definite de-
velopS, we will issue a bulletin i'm
mediately so that you may have
prompt and authoritative infor-
nation"
Discrepancies Questioned.
Col. Schwarzkoph's action was pre-
cipitated by a QUESTIONABLE submitted
to the police shortly after midnight.
Several Of the questions called upon the
police to explain discrepancies in an
swers noted in previous questionnaires.
Some of the questions, by inference,
challenged the police action in Certain
phases of the investigation.
One question asked what steps the
police took to obtain bloodhounds to
follow the trail of the kidnapers. Police
previously had explained that none
was available" This mornings ories-
tion, however, stated that dog author
tiles had said 100 or more good blood
hounds could have been made available
at Hopewell within two hours after the
kidnapping was reported"
Another question included the state
Ynent that reporters had found some
homes within fairly short walking
distance of the Lindbergh estate" had
not been visited by police, and inquired
why not. The purpose of the question,
1t was explained, was to determine II
"a thorough, humanitarian effort has
been made to discover whether the baby
might have been abandoned in the
vicinity of the Lindbergh home"
Abandonment Theory Seen.
One question included among the ID
which the police declined to answer
was:
DO the State police authorities feel
completely satisfied that the baby has
not been abandoned in the area of the
Lindbergh home and, If so, how do they
arrive at that conclusion?"
Question No. was:
"Will you please give us a definite
answer as to whether Col. Lindbergh
has communicated or attempted 10
communicate with the kidnapers by
newspaper advertisement, letter, tele-
phone or by other means, or whether
he has received any message I"
which he believes to have come from
the kidnapers? If the answer to this
Is the usual no answer will you kindly
explain why the question Is not an
swered?"
The decision of Col. Schwarzkopf to
discontinue replying to the question
naire which has been submitted to the
police at regular intervals in writing,
was announced in the following state
ment:
THE questionnaire that has Just been
forwarded to me is so involved and
commentary that it would require sew
eral hours and considerable discussion
to answer it. The answering of these

''FRAME-UP' DENIED.
in H|-JACK|NG CASE.
Prince Georges Police Sheriff
Feud intensified by
Deputy's Arrest.
BY staf Correspondent of The Star.

HYATTSVILLE, Md, March IL
The "feud" between the Prince Georges
County police force and the sheriff's
Office flared with new intensity today
as a result of the arrest yesterday of
Deputy Sheriff Newton James and
Thomas Vernon ('Honey") Garrison,
son of the chief deputy sheriff, on
charges growing out of an alleged hi
lacking.
Following their own investigation of
the case, Sheriff w. Curtis Hopkins
and Chief Deputy Thomas H. Garrison
said they we're convinced the accused
men were framed and would be
backed to the limit" in their efforts
to have the charges dismissed.
Garrison Raps Police.
Deputy Garrison became loud in his
denunciation of the police force and
implied that other developments may
be expected shortly. If they want
trouble we will give it to them," he
declared.
The "frame-up" charges provoked a
categorical denial from County Police
man Ralph Brown, the arresting Of
fcer who Swore to four warrants
against James and Garrison, three of
them covering charges of hold-up and
robbery and the fourth alleging pos
session of liquor The accused were
required to post $4,000 bond each.
The warrants were rushed to Marl-
boro yesterday morning for examination
by States Attorney Alan Bowie, who
said all except those charging possession
involved grand jury offenSes. Chief OF
Police J. ]. Crowley also conferred with
the States attorney yesterday and Is
understood to have given him a report
on the case
Hearings Wednesday.
James and Garrison are scheduled to
be given their preliminary hearings and
trial next Wednesday before Judge j..
Chew Sheriff in Police Court. They re-
tanned Attorney George Merrick of
Marlboro to defend them yesterday, and
conferred with a Hyattsville attorney,
who said he had not yet been officially
retained.
Conflicting versions of the case given
by the accused and police have left the
public mystified as to certain features
and added Zest to the widespread in
tereSt the incident attracted.
The chief points of disagreement are
on the question of what became of the
automobile and 20 cases of liquor the
two are accused of hijacking, and what
led to the alteration preceding the
arrest in which James received slight
scratches and was handcuffed.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Naval Committee agreed
unanimously today that there now Is
no poor workmanship or faulty mate
rial" in the airship Akron. Without
objection, it approved report by a
special subcommittee which said:
THE subcommittee finds from the
testimony submitted if there was any
poor workmanship or faulty material
used in the construction of the Akron

ship was completed"
The subcommittee emphasized that

sentatives of the United States Navy"

ton was given that numerous changes
had been made in the ship relating to
corrections being made wherever faulty
material was found.
1T was admitted by representatives
Of the Navy that the ship was over
weight to the extent of $4,000 pounds
or more, and that the Goodyear zeppe-
lin Corporation had been penalized in
the sum of S25 900, which is the amount
called for in the contract"
OF the sabotage charges, the subcom-
mittee said while there might have
been an attempt of sabotage, informa-
tion was had in time to prevent any,
thing Of this nature occurring to the
ship"
