GIANT RECEPTION
GIVEN LINDBERGH
AT Los ANGELES
Predicts Southland Will
Become Leader in Aerial
Development.
By DAN CAMPBELL
United Press Staff Correspondent


Los ANGELES. Sept. 2l.--The
City of the Angels awoke today to
the dying echoes of the maddnst
adultation in the history of the
southland.
For seven memorable hours Los
Angeles paid tribute to n blonde
viking hero, Col Charles A. Lind
bergh and today prepared to speed
him on his glorious conquest Of the
heart of an adoring nation.
From the time when the silver
gray monoplane, Spirit of St. Louis,
appeared as a speck on the hazy
horizon to the north, until tired
but smiling boy was ushered into
the privacy of his hotel room, the
plaudits of million people rang
over the city.
More than 100000 people had
gathered at Vail Field yesterday af-
ternoon when "We' swept down
from the skies. At least another
10000 saw "Lindy' parade down
Broadway to the Coliseum where
10000 school children delivered an
other enthusiastic welcome.
ClimaXing the day, a banquet was
held in his honor at the Ambassa-
dor Hotel at the close of which
Southern California, rich in the
memories of respect paid to other
heroes, had given its greatest tri-
butte.
The "Lone Eagle" is scheduled
to take off again today for San Di-
ego where a few short months ago
he began freak that carried into
fame as the greatest hero of the
century.
L. A. To Become Leader
The absence of extreme atmos-
pheric conditions and the balmv
climate should make Southern Cali
fornia a leader in aerial develop
ment, Colonel Charles a. Lindbergh
declared in his speech at the hotel
Ambassador banquet last night.
The boy colonel also pointed out
numerous other advantages that. II
properly used, would prove benefi-
cial to southland s aerial develop
ment.
"Mother nature has been good to
Los Angeles from an aerial stand
point and it would be a crime to
lose such an opportunity to take
step up in aviation, : the hero stat
ed.
In regard to trans soceanic flights
he pointed out that regular trans
oceanic air travel is bound to come,
but before this is accomplished, the
United States will be criss s-crossed
with network of Hmerclal ar
ways.
Commercial aviation already has
proven itself practicable; pioneering
aviation is still attended by more or
less danger, and it always will be.
Commercial planes have reached
state of development where they can
fly under nearly any condition OF
weather. Our chief problem now is
to develop our facilities so that
planes may take off the ground
"blind' > and land the same way, -
the Young marvel said.
Lindbergh's bow to Los Angeles
social whirl was one long to be re
membered, many of the world-fa-
nous luminarics attending the ban
quet, given under the supervision eft
the chamber of commerce of this
city.
Mayor Cryer introduced the lad

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, idol of
the nation, ended his Los Angeles
isit at 1881 A. NJ. today, and head
ed his silver gray monoplane, Spirit
