are Salvy Spit ale and Irving Bitz,
authorized by the Lindberghs to deal

announcement Was made more than
ten days ago.
The police continue to press the.

Fleischer, former member of Detroit's
Purple gang. Detectives ready to
shoot raided a Bronx flat yesterday.
In the place were two women and
Walter Conn, who said he had a

the three was arrested.
Then New York pojee turned their

with lnforniation he believed of value,
but Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf,
head of thb state police, said it was
of "no Importance."
Caldwell said the "situation is ex

BOGOTA, Colombia, Mar. 23 (IP)
Major Benjamin Mendez, one of the
best filers in Colombia and a friend
of Col. Lindbergh, received permis
sion from the war office today to
fly to Buenaventura where it was
reported the kidnaped Lindbergh
baby was held on an Island near the
coast. The flight will not be made,
however, unless the American lega
tion requests It.
Major Mendez, the father of a two
weeks old son, said he hoped he would
be able to help Col. Lindbergh and
he would do anything to assist ln
the child's recovery.
A direct flight between the two
cities never has been made and at

dangerous, for the plane must be
lifted to 20.000 feet over three ranges
