nations biggest business-the federal government. He has
made this the cardinal point in his government economy and
reorganization program.

FLARE SEEN Indy
KIDNAPPING SIGNAL
Light Visible for Miles Set
Off at Top of SourIand
Mountain.
BY BATES RANEY
United Press Staf Correspondent

HOPEWELL, N. j., April ia
magnesium flare lighted early today
at the home of Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh atop Sourland mountain,
illuminated the countryside for
miles, and led observers to believe
it was a signal having a significant
bearing on efforts to return the
fier's kidnapped son
State police at Trenton said that
a state trooper stationed at the
Lindbergh home had found the flare
Friday. 1t was described as being
an old one, a "dud." The trooper
decided to test it, so shortly after
midnight he took it into the yard
and lighted it, police said.
An aviation expert at Hopewell
said the flare was of the type de-
signed for parachute landing at
night, costing from $50 to $75 each.
He estimated it could have been
seen from the air sixty miles dis
tant and from the ground for twen-
ty miles.
The flare burned for five minutes,
throwing out an intense white light
which was made more conspicuous
by the elevation of the Lindbergh
home.
Speculate on Signal
Newspaper men watching beyond
the deadline set up by the New Jer-
sey state police reported no planes
could be heard overhead, but one
could have been beyond hearing
and still within sight of the flare.
Speculation also conferred on
whether some motor car might have
been waiting in a nearby road for
a signal.
Finally, Colonel H. Norman
Schwartzkopf issued a statement to
answer the hundreds of calls from
farmers around Hopewell.
The flare" Schwartzkopf's bull
letin said, was an old magnesium
light which it was thought would
not burn any more. It burned,
however, but there is n sig
nificance."
An airplane bearing the number
NC-9746 was seen flying low over
Hopewell early Friday night.
The lighted flare climaXed a night
of more than usual activity at the
Lindbergh home. Several visitors
were admitted.
Night of Much Activity
Among the late arrivals was q
small coupe carrying two men. The
License plates on the a were COW
cred with cloths. One of tine occu-
pants resembled DR.. John p. Con-
don, "Jafsie" negotiator.
Shortly before the coupe appeared
a girl who identified herself as
Grace Gray, %, of Minneapolis,
Mimi, a friend of the colonels
mother, was stopped by troopers
who telephoned the home. Miss
Gray was permitted to enter imme-
diately. Her visit was said to have
no connection with the kidnapping
search. The flare vas set off five
minutes after she departed.
In Norfolk, the three negotiators
maintained their optimism. Rear
Admiral Guy H. Burrage and John
Hughes Curtis, who returned from
a four-day trip early Friday, re-
ported they were continuing their
efforts to restore the baby. The Rev.
H. Dobson-Peacock, the other
negotiator, gave new assurances OF
the infants safety.
