NEW YORK (UP)-A tall, nice looking man in his 50s; wearing old-fashioned hightop shoes, strolled down Fotth Avenue one day not lone ago. No one recog nised !U paid him the slight est heed. Thirty years ago this city went into hysteria at the sight o( the same man. They massed the streets five million strong, The man was Charles A. Lind bergh. His anonymity was the success of an almost fanatic ef fort to escapo the public gaze. This is a year of anniversaries for Lindbergh. It was in 1927 that he flew alone to Paris and the adulation of the world. And it was 25 years ago this march 1 that his first-born was kidnaped and killed.

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Emlund said . a week-long search of the city has failed to turn up anyone willing to rent to such n targe family, It isn't that they don't have tho money, the Emlnnds said. Instead, there just appears to be no place in Chicago lor them. "People just don't seem to like kids," said Mrs. Emlund, who is trying toocare for 10 of her chil dren at a Salvation Army shelter.

The resolution serves notice that the United States is prepared to twe Its armed forces and econom ic and military assistance in the Middle East to help nations re questing It to resist Communist aggression. Up to 200 million dol lars of aid funds would be made available. Sen.

"Hut they want to wait until next week to get a bigger audience tn the chamber. The chamber was virtually de serted most of yesterday nnd those who did talk expounded to fewer than half a doien colleagues and a slim attendance in the vis tors' galleries.

"All 1 want is to keep my family together. "It seems like refugees from foreign countries come here and find jobs and houses rendy and wailing, but people who have lived here all their life can't."

His work is known to deal with advanced types of mil itary aircraft and guided missiles. President Eisenhower promoted him to the rank of brigadier general in 1954. Not many people ' know that Lindbergh shot down at least one, perhaps three, Japanese planes in n una. war u as a civilian tech nician advising Pacific pilots on getting the most from their pianos, tie went into that role afler resigning his colonel's com mission. His resignation followed his criticism of President Roose velt's foreign policy as leading toward war. ' Lindbergh lives now in a big English-style stone house in Dar ien, Conn., on Long Island Snnnn It is on a private road where res idents pay for their own police men. The Lindberghs have n green Cadillac and a Ford station wagon. Their servants do the snopping and they are seldom seen in tne small town. He and his wife, Anne, had five children in addition to Charles Jr. They are Jon, married and a Iavy oflicer in San Diego: Land, a student at Stanford; and three younger children who at tend the Darien public schools. Anne, 18r Scott 14 and Reeve n girl) 11. Little Change Lindbergh still tins the scales at about 175, not more than two or three pounds off his weight 30 years ago. He is balding slightly, his face is considerably fuller. (One of his Dhobias is aoainst having his picture taken)-. He has never smoked nor drunk. The admiration of his close friends, borders on worship. One compared him with Abraham Lin coln and remarked that, had he ncvear maae his historic flight, he would still have become national ly famous. So far as can be told. Lindbereh had no hobby for the pure fun of it. He docs like to walk in the woods, usually by himself. To the outside world- he is truly the Lone Eagle."
