“WATCHFUL WAITING"
LOOKING FOR BABY LINDBERGH. Norfolk, Virginia, March 30. The Norfolk phase of the Lindburgh kidnapping case settled down to-day to the “watchful waiting” stage, with the inauguration of a regularly scheduled series of daily press conferences. Rear-Admiral Guy H. Burrage, U.S.N. retired, was appointed official spokesman by his two fellow negotiators with a group of men who, through an intermediary, claim possession of thekidnapped Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.
The only positive statements Burrage made at the first two conferences to-day were that there had been no developments and that he and John Hughes Curtis, the principal negotiater, had gone to the naval .base to thank authorities there for lending an aeroplane to them. Regarding any future negotiations, Burrage said: “Tho future only can tell.” He accepted a suggestion that tEe present stage was a watchful waiting one. With great solemnity he read a formal statement for the public: “If there is failure in the Norfolk negotiations, the kidnappers and they alone will know why.”
