A path freed of a "number of ob

had been made was brought back
today by John Hughes Curtis, con

a secret mission to make contact
with the kidnapers of the baby or
their representatives. '
"At this time," it was announc
ed, "we can state we have over

The statement was the most
definite ' indication in several

were progressing.

Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage, re

Mr.N Curtis said there "was
