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

Thirty years ago this city

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.

By DAVID SMOTHERS
United Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO (UPI- A family of
15, forced to separate after they
were evicted, appealed today for
someone to sell or rent them a
home so they can be reunited.
. 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.
One Son In Army
Her husband is staying with
friends, along with two of his
sons. Another son, Louis, 22, is in
the Army, but is dm to return
home soon.

Senate Holds
Up Debate on
Ike Resolution
Many Are Waiting Until
Next Week, Desiring
Bigger Audience
WASHINGTON KV-The leader
ship of both parlies exhorted sen
ators today to "start talking" or
"start voting" as debate on Pres
ident Eisenhower's Middle East
resolution all but flickered out.
For the second dav in a row
tho Senate ran short of sneakers.
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. Fulbright (D Ark, one of
Its opponents, conceded passace
of the resolution, and declared
that "insofar as 1 am concerned
I'm ready to vole now."

Lyndon B. Johnson ot Texns snid
he saw no prospect of a (innl ote
before the end of next week or
early the following week.
"There are plenty of senators
waiting to speak," Johnson told
reporters. "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.
Republican Leader Knowlanrf of
California said he had urged tior
colleagues to speak this week to
that the Senate will be able tn
"move on to a voting stage early

said. "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."
The mother said she nnd her
family lived and grew for 15 years
in a five-room duplex apartment

MODERN HARDSHIP
ALBANY, N.Y. tUP) - The
Assembly Monday night approved
a bill giving a Catskill farmer per
mission to sue Uio state because
his outhouse was acnarated from
the rest of his property by the
siaie uiruwny.
Assemblyman Wilson C. "Van
Duzer said Matthias A. Murmv
now has lo travel four miles and
pay a toll lo reach his privy.
Busy At Pentagon
Lindbergh is often seen at the
Pentagon. 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.

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."
