Each county is allowed a cer tain number of entrants and Wilkes men who desire this train ing at government expense should secure application blanks from Mr. McCoy and send them In as early as possible.

Since the last list of those who have donated to tin Red Cross was published a contribution was received from Ida. Walsh, of Boomer,.smd. a dollar was receiv ed In the raall'from "a cRlsen.” 1^1 attorney had in u recent letter and statlifg his belief that the Means’ angle of the Lindbergh case warrants further nvestlga- tion. Attention of Attorney Jennings was drawn to a statement by Means that he alighted from the , Crescent Limited In Salisbury on March 11. 1932. Mr. Jennings said today that he knew of his own knowledge that Means did arrive In Salisbury on that date on the train mentioned and that he secured a taxi and went to Concord, a former home. Mr. Jen nings checked his movements In that vicinity. Means purchased guns and ammunition in Coneori, he said, and added that Mennn had a bountiful supply of cash at that time. Possibility of Means connec tion with the Lindbergh kidnap ing was first suggested to the de partment of Justice in telegraM and letters on March 11, 1932. Mr. Jennings files shows that he received from J. Edgar Hoover, director of the bureau of Invoetl- gatlon, the following letter under date of March 14. 1932: ‘T desire to thank you very * much for your letter of the 11th instant suggesting the poeslbllity of the connection- of Gaston B. Means with the kidnaping of Charles A. Lind'oergh, Jr. I have passed the suggestion' on to the New Jersey State Police.” Mr. Jennings, who has worked on many important cases as a special investigator, is strong in his beUef that Means was not ly connected with the crime but “was the brains back of the kid naping.” The letter of Governor Hoff man, together with a copy Of Means “Confession,” Indicates that the New Jersey state execu tive has not dropped the case and that his Investigation continues. - Taxlistiiig Is In Process In City Mr. A.
