25th Anniversary of Lindberg's
Trans-Atlantic Flight Observed
Washington U.R Charles
A. Lindbergh, 50 years old but
remarkably little changed by the
years, i as much a mystery man
now as he was a quarter century
ago when he dropped down at
Curtiss Field, N. Y., one day In
May with the romantic notion of
flying the Atlantic, solo.
Tuesday Is the 25th anniver
sary of Lindbergh's take-off
from adjacent Roosevelt Field in
a frail monoplane, the "Spirit of
St. Louis," which hangs now In
the Smithsonian Institution here
and daily evokes the amazement
of visitors accustomed to four-
engined luxurious giants for
their air fare. Thirty-three hours
and 29 minutes of seat-of-the-pants
flying brought Lindbergh
to Paris and the world to his
feet.
Glories in Privacy
In the quiet of his Connecticut
home with his wife, Anne Mor
row Lindbergh, a tiny, black'
haired beauty, and their five
children, Lindbergh will pay
less outward attention to the an
niversary than anyone else.
Glorying in his long-sought pri
vacy, he has declined hundreds
of Invitations and pleas for ap
pearances, interviews, and
speeches.
But memory will no doubt in-

trude on this privacy, perhaps
more than anyone ever will;
know. The "Lone Eagle" will
think back to the day May 12
when he arrived at Curtiss, a
25-year old mail pilot, shy, un
Informalive, and surrounded by
the great fliers of the day. These
men Richard E. Byrd, Balch,
Chamberlin, Bert Acoata, and
others were making ready to
span the Atlantic. But no one
was going solo and they thought
the man with the 225-horsc-power
Ryan monoplane had
more courage than wisdom.
Frenchman Disappear
Already two Frenchmen,
Charles Nungesserand and Fran
cis Coli, had set forth from Paris
for Roosevelt Field and disap
peared forever.
In the early hours of May 20
"Slim" Lindbergh rolled his
little plane, sluggish under its
outsize load, off the grass run
way and, after circling, pointed
it out over the Atlantic. That
was the same unexplored Atlan
tic air ocean through which
probably 1,800 people will travel
tomorrow and the next day.
The traveller today rides in
air-conditioned comfort, four or
five miles high, served the best
of food, cared for by 10-man
crews who navigate with unerr
ing precision. He arrives In Par
Is, and nobody notices because
he Is Just one more trans-Atlantic
voyager.
Used No Radio
Lindbergh flew alone, with
two sandwiches, two canteens
of water, two chocolate bars
and no radio. He had a compass
to tell him where he was as he
flew at altitudes ranging from
50 feet to 10,000. ,
Life in America slowed
down, crowds at the Sharkey
Maloney fight prayed, and 10,000
people caHed one New York
newspaper, while Lindbergh
flew. When it was over, Presi.
dent Coolidge ordered the cruiser
Memphis to return him to a land
that made him one of the most
acclaimed men of modern times.
Years Not Always Happy
The years passed rapidly after
that, and not always happily for
the Lindberghs. There was the
agonizing period after their In
fant son was kidnapped, 20 years
ago. There was the seclusion In
England. There was the pre
World War II period when Lind
bergh, following deep .convic
tions, found himself on the un
popular side In this land.
The nation still does not know
fully the part LlndberRh played
In World War II and thereafter
as an Air Force consultant. This
nation owed its possession of
vital data about the German air
force to Lindbergh, who had
travelled in Germany in 1935
and 1938 at the request of Amer
ican authorities.
Accurate Picture
"Lindbergh gave me the most
accurate picture of the Luft
waffe, its equipment, leaders,
apparent plans, training meth
ods, and present defects that I
had so far received," said Gen.
H. H. Arnold, late wartime Air
Force chief.
Lindbergh remains one of the
nation's great pilots. And he still
dreads the limelight which made
him the Idol of the late 1920's.

writing congressmen from both
sides of the political aisle have
agreed on one prediction. Feder
al taxes won't go up next year.
Instead the emphasis in the
new Congress whether it be
controlled by the Democrats or
Republicans will be cutting
taxes.
Rep. Daniel A. Reed, R-N.Y.,
who is the ranking GOP member
of the tax-framing House Ways
and Means committee, said that

Congress next year they will cre

government operation."
Barring an all-out war, Reed
said he would introduce a reso
lution on the opening day of the
83rd Congress in January to cut
taxes back to their pre-Korean
levels.
Rep. Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark.,
one of the influential Democrats
on the Ways and Means commit
tee, said his party is "Just as
anxious to reduce taxes as the
Republicans are." But he said the
circumstances prevailing next
year will have to determine
whether taxes can be reduced.
