LINDBERG is BARRED
FROM WAR JOB: BOOK
. IS GIVEN AS REASON

Washington, Sept. 12.-Charles A.
Lindbergh, late candidate for COVER
nor of Minnesota, will not be appoint
ed to a position under the War In
dustries board. A definite conclu-
sion to this effect has been reached,
it was stated here. The reason for
the withdrawal of the tender of po-
sition to Mr.. Lindbergh was that a
perusal Of his book on ''Why Your
Country~Is at War;. convinced men,
beers of the board that it would be
unwise at least to give him a place
on the official staff at this time. y.
Chairman Bernard M. Baruch said:
1--WE are all agreed that in carry
ing on war work we must all have
the confidence of all the people. It
was evident that there was lack of
in him on the part of many
people and it was decided therefore
that he should not be appointed. -
