Boys playing on the courthouse

"Following the usual practice,
she has been denied permission

WASHINGTON, June 13 A San
Francisco to Hawaii flight Is. prac
tical apd , will be made in a short
time, Colonel' Charles A. Lind
bergh said today, but he warned
that the use of; accurate naviga
tion methods, was highly import
ant. The New York-Paris aviator, in
an. address, ut the 'National Aero
nautic association! brenkrast given
hlnv in :his honor, expressed the
hope that the 'methods of naviga
tion he used on his trans-Atlantic
flight would not be adopted lor
the -Pacific trip.
Ho pointed out that if ho had
wandered off his course on his At
lantic crossing he could have land
ed in the Brills Isles or as far
south as Spain, but declared Biich
land protection is not afforded in
the Pnclfic.
"If by dead reckoning," he add
ed, "an attempt is made to reach
the Hnwnlinn Island and the plane
drifts even a few miles off tho
course thereare thousands of
miles of water beyond the Islands
which would make it iniprobnblo
that an uylntor would be picked
up"
He declared the Pacific flight
should be attempted without rndlo

NEW YORK, June 1 3. Considering him one of their
own because he left from here on his pioneering fight to
France, New York's millions today welcomed Charles A.
Lindbergh, viking of the Atlantic heavens, as they had never
welcomed anyone before. r ,
After a greeting from' 50,0Q0.throats at the battery that
shook thecity and a triumphal march up Broadway through
close packed acclaiming crowds and a paper, snowstorm from
the windows of the crag-like! sky scrapers, the young flyer ar
rived at the City Hall at 2:09 p. m. this afternoon.
When the shrieking of harbor whistles. , gave notice that
Lindbergh had landed from' the bay, to which he flew from
Mitchell Field and Washington, a great rolling roar of wel
corrVe spread through the ii;y. Over miles and miles of the
financial,, wholesale; shopping and residential sectiqna Paper.
drifted into the air in the city's traditional "welcome- to its
heroes, :' .' - .. ; ; i ' ; "
Along the line of jnarch hundreds of thousand of cheering
men and women' packed -behind police lines cheered until they
were hoarse and after : j that waved flags, .blew ' horns, and
danced about as best they could in the press, ; ' r
spectators Go Wild
Any sound, any' gesture, was
enough, ho long ns it indicated thiH
boy who' had .dared to confront tho
forces ot nature alone nnd Who
had won fame might call his home
lu any city he liked, he was by un
animous vote adopted a son, ot
New York" mid a sou loved above
all others. . i : i i ., ' , 11
Whllo waiting for Lindbergh to
arrive, the estimated 60,000 per
sons at the Battery were orderly
enough, but when he came their
emotions broke all bounds.. Men
beat ; each other ; onf the .backs,
women threw their arms about
those nearest to them, and -both
men and women struggled to get
nearer to their idol, alternately
laughing aloud and weeping open
ly. , . ,.- .
Lindbergh stopped Into a wait
ing auto and it took its 'plnco in
the parade thnt had been steadily
filing out of iljatiery l3laco for tho
previous throe . quarters - of an
hour, Tho car had gone baroly 75
feet when tho crowd began clos
ing In front, For a moment It
seehicd that tho parade would be
halted uh had tho one in Llnd
berg's honor in -Washington ' tho
day lie returned from Kurope.
:- Hero Has Close Call
As the flyer was smiling " nnd
waiving acknowledgement of the
tremendous uccialm being accord
ed him. tho chauffeur, seeing pro
grees endungered, suddenly put on
speed. So sudden was the ad
vance that Lindbergh was taken
unawares and hurled backward
agaliiHt the seat. His head and
slioulders were hanging over the
back of tho lonneau when Grover
A. Whalen, chairman of tho may
or's committee of welcome,
caught him y the legs and stead
ied him. ' .
Lindbergh quickly regained his
couipoHure and waved luiighlngly
at tho crowd ns ho drovo on.
As It seemed that Lindbergh wns
about to be thrown to the streot
there was n moments deathly si
lence as the crowd's cheers were
suddenly stilled. There was u con
certed gasp of "oh" when Whalen
grabbed tho flyer and then, as it
was seen that ho was unharmed,
the cheering broke out again, loud
er If posHilile, than before.
As the Lindbergh' car neared
the city hall a great waterfall ot
confetti, mingled with streamers
of ticket tape, wus poured on It
from the top of tho Woolworlh
tower and settled almost knee deep
over the already papcr-whltencd
street.
After the near accident nt the
ltaltei-y, Lindbergh resumed n
standing position ami rode so to
the city hall, bowing and waving
hs he passed along through the
ranks of screaming admlrei-H.
At the city hall, Mayor Walker
presented the flier with a scroll,
commemorating his famous flight.
Greatest Welcome Yet,
In reply Lindbergh said ills New
York reception was greater Ihon
those of Ports, lh-iisHfts, London
and Washington "all put together."
"When I was preparing to leave
for Europe," he said, "I was told
that If we landed In Loflourget wo
might expect a rather demonstra
tive reception, After one half hour
at. LoHourget, I didn't believe any
one In New York would have the
slightest Idea of the reception
given us.

Lindbergh then went over ma
terial of previous speoches, stress -
Ing the point that he still was
without his "little visit to Europe;
the quiet one!"
Three loud, ' ' thousand-throated
cheers Interrupted, the aviator. He '
smiled, waited until quiet came
again, and continued.
Glad to Return Home.
