Lindbergh kin seeks help to clear deserter stigma
Francis A. Land, a World War I veteran and uncle of Charles A. Lindbergh, hopes his famous nephew can help erase a long standing accusation that he deserted the Grand Army. Land appeals to Lindbergh's mother to urge the president to exonerate him, as he remains a contested case amid his fame. Also reported is the Winnipeg arrest of Earl Nelson, the so called gorilla man suspected of multiple killings, with a coroner's jury linking him to a Canadian and U.S. death.
