This archive from 1955 is one of the files on that DVD. I know this because I bought the DVD. It's the exact same file. I wonder why it's available on that web site, which appears to be about a farm, and has nothing to do with chess.OregonMusehttp://nowhere.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085454862998663312.post-54110079406436526532016-02-02T11:12:51.481-05:002016-02-02T11:12:51.481-05:00 More on the Whitaker Affair.

On page 102 of the July 5th issue there was an article which stated Whitaker was suing the USCF and several of its officers EACH for $100,000 (about $884,000 today) because of their mention of his name in connection with the Lindberg baby kidnapping.Tartajubowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825756152678176267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085454862998663312.post-82837087474111881662016-02-02T10:43:22.125-05:002016-02-02T10:43:22.125-05:00I discovered what the rift was concerning Whitaker... I discovered what the rift was concerning Whitaker. It's on page 36 under “Text of Resolution Submitted to USCF Board of Directors. It seems Whitaker made a “vicious attack” on the USCF and its management.Tartajubowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825756152678176267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085454862998663312.post-34258571236186522902016-02-02T10:21:39.969-05:002016-02-02T10:21:39.969-05:00 Great download!

But Norman Tweed Whitaker (what a great pair of names!) was a pretty reprehensible character: Thief, con man, all around fraudster. Most famous for his attempt to extort money from Charles Lindberg by pretending he could help get Lindberg's son back from his kidnappers, his many other criminal offenses included sending morphine through the mails and sexual molestation of a minor!
