Ransom Demand To Be Met By Parents New Rochelle, N. Y. March 3— (UP) Ransom to obtain the release of 12-year-old Peter Levine, kidnaped a week ago, haa been paid or is about to be paid. It was reported without confirmation today. The report was circulated among Investigators after Rabbi Abraham Nowak, reputed intermediary for Murray Levine, father of the boy, returned to his home last night from what his wife said had been a "very private engagement,” Nowak gave cryptic replies to questions by reporters concerning his movements. He was asked: "Is the report true that you paid the ransom tonight?” “No comment.” he replied. “Will you deny that you are a contract on intermediary?" "No comment.” "In view of the fact that you decline to deny you are a contact or Intermediary, we assume you are.” “t cannot comment at this time,” the Rabbi replied. "There will be t proper time when you will have your information.” Nowak kept his “very private engagement” two days after his secretary, Evelyn Arkin, found a third note from the kidnapers in a vacant lot adjoining the Be’hel Synogogue, of which the Rabbi is pastor. To his note was appended a message from Peter, penciled in a childish scrawl, which read: "Dear Dad: please give these men the money. I have a bad cold. Peter.” The note was reported to have renewed a demand for $60,000 ransom, and to have insisted that the mon°y be made up in bundles of $lO S2O, SSO and SIOO bank notes and be deposited under a lamppost at a designated street corner in the Bronx. New York City. Levine, a prosperous hut not wealthy attorney, was reported to have succeeded in raising only $30,000. Whether the kidnapers agreed subsequently to accept that sum, was not known.
