L__ . BBftjvwXSr < - : HAbobd Vboyd ' The pathetic spectacle of a nation • helple»tnea» following the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby indicates that the only defense against thia type of crime is to lock the stable before the theft. Accordingly, many movie celebrities of Hollywood, whose fabulous salaries make them potential targets for the art of the extortionist, are taking elaborate precautions to protect their children. Ann Harding, noted stage and screen star, was the recipient of a note of "friendly warning,” telling her that her daughter, Jane, was about to be kidnaped. Miss Harding immediately doubled the force of armed guards that already protected her home. The child is now kept under constant vigilance. The home of Harold Llovd is similarly protected and his three children, Gloria, Peggy and Buddy, are never out of sight of quick-trig-ger guards. But it is not only in Hollywood that such precautions are being taken. Gene Tunney has applied for police protection for his child, although it is a brave kidnaper who would take any liberties with the child of the former heavyweight champion of the world. Residents in the exclusive districts of Park and Fifth Avenues, 100, are taking precautions by employing college athletes to protect their children while outside their homes. Already fnany students of Columbia University are availing themselves of this method of paying their expenses through college. Above is Cliff Montgomery, of Columbia's grid squad, who is one of the collegians to adopt this congenial employment.

New York. March !.—The cold-, blooded daring that marked the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby and the pathetic spectacle of a nation's helplessness which followed it provide incontrovertible proof of fao ancient adages, viz: “It is use-j less to lock the stable door after the horse has been stolen" and "An ounce of prevention is worth a I pound of cure." With the Lindbergh lesson before : them as a terrible example, most' of the prominent citizens of the Vnlttjd States are taking precaut ioMry steps to avoid being victimized by kidnaper vampires who ale parently are above the law. Particularly in H dlywood. where the fabulous earnings of movie I stars receive tremendous publicity. lis the fear of kidnaping cast ing a sinister shadow over the palatial t ines of many of filmdem notables Schemes to kidnap celebra cd movie children are usually nipped sharply by tlie precautions taken by par ents, who realize their positions as potential target* for extortion. The most recent case was that of Ann Hai ling, leiiown'il ornament of sthgv anil screen, who receiv'd a friendly "warning” that her little daughter Jane was to be kidnap'd. Miss Harding ordinarily maintains an armed guard to protect the !<hiid, but on receipt of tlie l»-tt< i

The estate of Harold Lloyd, fa-, mous screen comedian, is similarly I guarded and Lloyd's three children, I Gloria.

NEW PLANS ARE BEING FORMED | CONTINUED SOKV FsGE ONE ( closing 'any defini c information of ' i concicfe nature leading to a solu tlon of the case." This disposed of a widely published statement credited to Morris Rosner, undercover agent, to tlie effect that tlie Lindbergh baby was held by “a family" and was safe and we’l. Such a. slatemen was "unauthorized." Sehwartzkopt said, by pdic.e or Hr Lindbergh family. Other answers to inquiries in the press interview yesterday <lispo»ed of reports that definite iuform .tiot) had been obtained from a prisoner taken from Welfare Island and Tombs prison tor questioning here i er from certain rcsideu a of (Ills district who have been reported missing. Police absolved all: specifically mentioned in these reports from blame. Colonel Sehwartzkopt also denied that Colonel Lindbergh had left tlie estatv at any time since the baby was kidnaped, as has been reported to newspapermen by several olx "rvers here. One high official did tell the United Press thut two sots of ling ir prints were found in the nursery room from which Charles A. Lind|:i rgh, Jr., was stolen a wwk ago last Tuesday night. This confirmed reports published a day or so after the crime, and refuted denials issued later. Both sets of Auger prints were those of men. this informant said. One set on the window sill pointed inside the room. Another set in side tlie room duplicated th p set on tlie window .dll. A stockinged, footprint also was found on the] sill. Investigation lias shown the: prints were made by no known ( criminal, thus lending strength to the theory that the work was that I of amateurs, more bold aud cuu nfng than far sighted. Investigators have been u< York La., for two days checking reports by Pennsylvania islalc police. A re-

port on the result was promised j I the press as soon as the investiga . tlon was coplcted. I Another check is underway on < a story told last night by Calvin < Petty, 50, employed at Kingston i by the Princeton nurseries. Petty i lias lived in the community for years, and bears a good reputation I He said:: Il "Between 8:30 and 9 o'clock Sat-li urday night while I was out doors, I a very nervous stranger wearing a derby pulled down over his eyes 1 ; left his parked car about 100 yards ! away and came up to me. “ 'How much will you take to' take the Lindbergh baby to his ; home tomorrow night?’ the man] asked. "Twenty thousand dollars. “Thtjt was the first figure that I, popped into a«y head," Petty ex-, plainest. The man then offered to bring 1 , SIOO In $1 bills Monday night be-|. tween 10 and 11 o'clock, meet Petty. ; and give him the baby for return io the Lindberghs. Petty was not to talk about it. Another incident, one of a series in which Antonia Chelowsky has figured, created some talk. Antonia , is a hardy woman of the Sourland badlands, a pig killer bye profession. and an owner of several shacks near the Lindbergh estate. She lias told several intriguing stories of Brooklyn racketeers, six months "old kidnaping plots, and people hunting natives "not friendly" to the Lindberghs. Last night Antonia stood before the News Reel microphones and said: ‘ Nobody should fear for the baby. In the time when everything quiets down the baby will appear. We can t say much because our lives are in great danger. "We haven’t any money. We ; aren’t millionaires. So we couldn't ! have our house watched by detec-1

Everybody’s worried. but there's nothing to worry about.” With that, the picturesque pig killer of the Sourlands started for home, nonchalantly blowing a mouth organ.
