LOS ANGELES, May %. WP)-
The stately obelisk of the city hall
tower was destroyed today by 81
army bombing planes and a covey
of SO pursuit ships which roared
over the city in beautiful precision
of a mock attack.
AS the giant bombers moved
threateningly across the skies in
perfect formation, the pursuit ships
flew high above. At the moment
of bombing" the smaller planes,
defending the less flexible bombers,
zoomed downward in thrilling pow
er dives from an altitude of approx
imately 10000 feet to level the
target.
The bombers and their retinue
flew from March Field in celebra-
ton of Rainbow Division Day"

tiful young woman who plunged
to her death clad only in stylish
crimson pajamas from 25th story
room of a Michigan avenue hotel

of modern America for the at
tempted suicide of pretty Caroline

But while the others danced,
Caroline could not forget she had
broken the Chinese tradition OF

morse, she went into Addressing

HOPEWELI, N. j., May %. UP
The determined search for the
murderers of the Lindbergh baby
again took on a nationwide scope
today when Col H. Norman
SchWartzkopf, in charge, divulged
his clues to the kidnapers' identity
to all prison Wardens and police
authorities in the country.
At the same time, members Of
the New Jersey legislature were
preparing to post a reward of
suitable size" for the arrest and
conviction of the kidnapers. The
amount will not be less than
$4,000. Legislators were reported
as feeling that "the state of New
Jersey owes it to its self-respect to
spare neither money nor effort to
bring the baby killers to justice"
In his appeal to law enforcement
agencies, SchWartzkopf included
specimens of the handwriting used
by the kidnapers in dealing with
DIR. John R. Condon, the "Jafsie"
negotiator who paid over $4,000
without avail.
Gov. A. Harry Moore told report
ers that he had been approached
some time ago by Capone gang
sters who wanted him to request
Colonel Lindbergh to intervene in
Capones behalf with the federal
government. The governor claimed
he had been stopped by four men
near his home III Jersey City who
made the proposition that if Ca
pone was released he could affect
return Of the baby.
Governor Moore said Colonel
Lindbergh declared his willingness
to give Capone full credit If he
accomplished the return, but was
unwilling to advocate his cause.
Col. Schwartzkopf this afternoon
issued the following statement:
prosecutor Hauck has just IN
terviewed Mr.. Curtis and his at
