Lindy Says Nazis

European' Nation Here:

WASHINGTON, May 17-(ff)-
A congressional group heard
from Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh today an assertion that
the United States had been out
stripped by Germany In military
aviation but was In no danger
of aerial attack from abroad.
Testifying at a closed session
of the house military appropri
ations subcommittee, the famous
flier recommended increased avi
ation research to develop swift
er, more efficient battle planes.
Members said -that Lindbergh
told them he did not know how
many planes Germany had on
hand, but estimated on the basis
of personal observations that the
Reich had a productive capacity
of 20,000 annually,
, Committeemen quoted him as
saying the German attack planes
and light bombers 'were better
than those of the United States,
but were not long-range typs
and thus could not be compared
to the army a 'flying fortress'

In this connection Lindbergh
was quoted as saying that whUe
it might be possible for a for

and return to its base, that form
of attack would pot be practical

at Official Luncheon
Following Arrival j
QUEBEC, May 17-)-Canada
acclaimed King George and Queen
Elisabeth today upon their arrival
for an unprecedented royal tour
and then pledged a new loyalty
and homage to the British throne
and Its occupants.-
Hour after hour, from earlv
morning until nearly midnight,
the king and queen went through
the ritual ot state functions, pre
sentations, audiences, addresses
and drives through the city. They
slept tonight behind the thiek
walls of the old citadel on !the
rock'' which is now the summer
home ot Canada's governor-gen
eral. Lord Tweedsmulr. 1
Through it all was the informal
ity of the western world, evident
despite the military and official
character of the events. This ap
peared to be enhanced by the
charm and the manner of Queen
Elisabeth, who won feminine fa
vor, by the modest demeanor of
the king and by what Canadian
Prime Minister W. L. McKenzie
King called the "qualities ot heart
and character" possessed by the
visitors.
"Greater than our sense of the
splendor of your states," he said
at the official government' lunch
eon, "is our affection for two
young people who bear, In so high
a spirit, a responsibility vnparal
leled In the world."
Quebec gave the British sov
ereigns a great welcome, although
one different from the .massed
demonstrations ot LondOn'a teem
ing millions and different from
the spectacular show ot a Broad
way ticker tape reception in New
York.
The setting of the scene was
too vast for that. All Quebec, and
thousands of visitors, saw the
white liner Empress of Australia
round the bend of the river this
morning with colors flying and
more into Wolfe's cove, but the
crowds merely dotted the' great
bluffs.
In a lifetime few Londoners
see their king and queen with such
freedom and ease as Quebec saw
them today in spite of the tightest
military and police surveillance
the royal mounted police could
devise.
The crowds simply went out
into the great open spaces along
the river shore or on the cliffs
above, into the parks or streets
where the king and queen drove
and had their fill of looking and
cheering.
The royal visitors seemed to
set the note for the day with an
