MYSTERY STILL SHROUDS HUNT FOR LINDY BABY Norfolk Go-Betweens Are Silent on Progress of Negotiations. ! By United Press NORFOLK, Va., March 30—The Norfolk trio negotiating with a group of supposed kidnapers for the return of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., today reported “no developments.” The Rev. H. Dobson-Peacock, one of the three, announced that he and his colleagues were acting “at the request of Colonel Lindbergh, made personally by him.” It was indicated there had been no communications with the contact man for the group since the return Tuesday of Mr. Dobson-Peacock from a visit to Colonel Lindbergh. It was apparent that the negotiators aw r aited further word from the self-asserted abductors. Rear-Admiral Guy H. Burrange, U. S. N., retired, was appointed today the press contact man of the j Norfolk group and he arranged to ! hold three press conferences a day. ! His first conference lasted an hour and five minutes before he began posing for photographs. Questioned Closely He was questioned closely and at times assumed his official manner. At one point, he began taking nameq of managing editors of papers whose representatives asked too pointed questions. But at the end he was posing with reporters for photographers. Burrage denied there was any plan so far for John Hughes Curtis, boat builder, the third negotiator, to take another mystery airplane trip. Burrage was not specific regarding the kidnaping case. His only formal statement for the public I was: ‘They’ll Know Why* “If there is failure in the Norfolk negotiations, the kidnapers and they | alone will know why.” | It was pointed out to him that this implied absolute knowledge

that the group with which he, Curtis and Peacock are dealing are the kidnapers. "Anybody has a chance to be misled,” he said. "We may be misled. I would not have gone into this if I had not faith in it. But I reserve the right to withdraw that faith if I find it was not justified.” j “It was very difficult to deal with the group, as whoever had the baby j naturally would want the utmost l safety in returning it,” he said.

BOOK AGENTS 1 IRK OFFICIALS State Board of Education Acts to Halt ‘lnvasion.’ Book agents, long listed as leaders among the better known pests, have become such a problem to members of the state board of education that an effort is being made to build up some sort of defense mechanism. The move has been launched by Edward C. Elliott, president of Purdue university, and a board member. George C. Cole, superintendent of public instruction,* announced Cole, by virtue of his office, is presiding officer of the state board. Elliott, he said, has had several j conferences with publishers regarding the matter of being bothered by book agents each time texts are be- | ing considered for adoption. At the last conference Governor 1 Harry G. Leslie declared many agents are employed only for “who they know,” and use political influence to force textbook sales, j England’s most famous writer, Shakespeare, and Spain’s most famous writer, Cervantes, both died on April 23, 1616.
