LUCK NOTHING,'
 FRIEND ASSERTS
Says Lindbergh's Success Is
 Result Of Hard Work

San Diego. Cal, May e5 tP)- IL wasn't Lady Luck" that directed Charles Lindbergh in his lone flight straight to Paris Don Hall. designer Of the now famous Ryan monoplane explained today.
 It was merely a clock, a compass, a collection Of maps and charts. well laid plans and a mass of knowledge accumulated by long hours of hard study in san Diego.
 With this equipment. Lindbersh or any other aviator could do it gain, al least SO far as following ,hp trail is concerned Hall said. Ilndbersh merely proved his faith in the sufficiency of straight line" flying. and in so doing made a new forward step in the science of avta- tiou, Hall declared.
 Straight line flying seems merely to be a demonstration of applied mathematics. First maps are con- structed so that a straight line be- tween any two points on the map crosses the exact spot that would be crossed by going in straight line across the earth's surface.
 Lindbergh did not attempt 10 fly the whole distance in straight line. Hall said. He attempted simply 10 fly in a straight line every hundred miles. At each l00-mile point charts showed him the exact direction IF which his plane should be headed. Thus every hour, assuming that he flew a 100 miles per hour. Lind bergh merely checked and changed lis direction. Hall said.
 50 when people call him Lucky Iindbergh." Hall concluded. they want to remember that his luck is largely due to his own hard work and hard study"
