TRENTON, N. J.. May 16, (UP)— Ti l lers in the futile hunt for the killers of the Lindbergh baby met here today to decide who shall direct the investigation and thus end the official quibbling that began the da>
after the kidnaping.
G v et nor A. Hairy Moore, who early retained for his office super I vision over official news releases in the case, called the conference. ' Among the attendants were two eounL, prosecutors, the attorney general’s repre entative, state police heads, and a representative of the department of
justice.
J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the bu re mi of investigation of the department of justice, is chs'ged with co ordniating the work of his own men, the senet service, the internal reve nue agents and post office detectives with the New Jersey state polite Governor Moore alread> has indi rated that Colonel H. Norman y hwartzkopf, wh directed the state police in their wm Id-wide hunt foi child while it lay within sight of the Lindbergh home, would remain in charge oT all p Tice aetfviTy. This ac-) tion was forecast despite persistent criticism of the kidnaping investiga-
tion.
Hoover, it was believed, would be placed in charge of all detective work in the case. This was forecast as re >ult of "between the lines" interpietations of statements issued in W ash ingt n in connection with President 11 over’s order that federal agent • violate precedent it I go the limit in
finding the murderers.
While prosecution, police, and in- ' ■ stigation experts conferre I here, the hunt for the killers went forward • n land !, nd sea, mote dues were re potted, old clues and theories dis corded during the eatly investigation cere revived, more details concerning the "negotiations" for return of the baby were revealed, and nickname an I identity of certain "kidnapers" v ere announced as “known” by either •J ilm F. Condon (Jafsie) or by Jonh
H. Curtis of Norfolk.
The net result of the weekend of Hitjvity was that identifications all "ere “very general,” and even if ecifle were u oless unless the su-
pects first were captured.
The aged Dr. Condon, who had
1 tde many statements concerning his were <d

thing.’*
