He also was twice visited by a mysterious, swarthy man said to be an emissary. 3. Investigation by police of the purported proposals by the kidnapers. Police suspect that some of the calls might have come from racketeers attempting to get their hands on the $150,000 ransom money, although they have no

One report was that the gang originated in New York City rather than Detroit und had been in the vicinity of London, Ont., tor some weeks, presumably planning the ■ abduction. At London, Ont., the home of Labatt. the family was reported sec ' retly seeking new avenues of ap-1 proach to the kidnapers, fearing I that the gang would not contact I Hugh Labatt in Toronto because 1 of police activity. oCongregation To Take Over School South Bend, Ind..
