for a quick appeal to the emotions of
the French people something as un.
paralleled as the flight itself.
The Government here is pleased-in-
deed exuberant. Diplomacy knows
what 1t means to get a whole ma
ton speaking in praise of an Amer
lean. It reminded the French of the
heroic exploits Of the American
troops in the war. 1t brought back
memories of the time when Franco
American friendship was unmarried
by any discussions either of bad
sportsmanship or materialistic things.
Effect i'm u. S. Is Noted.
And if the effect was impressive
across the Atlantic it was equally so
on this side. For the reports from
France of anti-American feeling in
the last two years have had their
reflex on this side of the water. And
this is the year when the American
Legion makes it's pilgrimage to
France. Those who love France have
been hoping that the sight of the
American doughbeys would revive the
friendship that once existed between
the French and Americans. Lucky
Lindbergh was sort of advance
emissary. He has done by a single
stroke more to put Franco American
relations on plane of human friend
liness than the diplomats could have
done in years.

Carrying 13,600 pounds, 900 pounds
less than the load 1t would have at
the final hop-off, the monoplane was
started down the runway where Lind
bergh began his now famous flight
After traversing half the runway, the
engines were shut off. The plane had
not lifted itself from the ground.
Bert Acosta and George Neville,
who were making the test, said there
was nothing wrong with the motors,
but that bearing Of landing gear
wheel had frozen This, it was
explained, meant that the bearing,
having become overheated, had swelled
and jammed. The plane was returned
to the hangar. The plane had previ-
ously lifted 13,200 pounds, mechanics
said.
Flight Is Expected.
Grover Whalen, representing Rod
man Wanamaker, hacker Of the flight,
said that there was no intention of
bandoning the New ork-Paris flight.
"The fight" he said, was planned
for scientific purposes. Lindbergh's
achievement, great as it was, has not
lessened the need for scientific data on
transatlantic flying
Comdr. Byrd also said that he knew

tablish a long-distance flying record

Charles Lindbergh has done some.
thing more timely than a mere demon
stration of the value of aircraft. He
has introduced note of concord in an
international situation which needed
just such a touch to bring back a
realization of the friendship that in
the past has prevailed between the
French and American people.
It will be noted that Ambassador
Herrick took charge Of the young
hero, that messages were exchanged
between the President Of France and
the President of the United States,
that Lindbergh called on the mother
of one of the unfortunate French
