This prediction was made today
by Capt. Charles A. Lindbergh, in
a brief speech before the members
OF the French Senate in the palace
OF M. Doumer, President of the
Senate.
Lindbergh traced the. history of
aviation from the first venture of
the Wrights in 1908.
There We're some 200 Senators
present to greet Lindbergh and
their sedate dignity was forgotten
In their enthusiasm over the young
flier.-
Enormous crowds had again
lined the way to the Senate to
cheer Lindbergh on, and American
flags. were everywhere and the
enthusiasm for the American boy
appeared just as great as 1t was
last Saturday night when he landed
at LIE Bourget.
Ambassador Herrick introduced
Lndbergh to the Senators as ''our
new and best ambassador. .
Senator LaZar Weller paid high
tribute to Lindbergh and thanked
him for his brief speech.
The Senator recalled that Orville
Wright once said that birds fly
md don't talk" and remarked that
Llndbergh is a bird who flies and
also talks
Lindbergh was entertained at
luncheon today by Minister of War
Painleve, and for the first time since
ne has arrived in Paris he was late
for the engagement, 20 minutes late.
he was besieged by the usual crowds
as ne entered the war ministry and
was given another great ovation.
The proprietor of a. new hotel.
opening at the corner OF Avenue
Carnot and Rue Des Accasias, today
wrote a letter to Lindbergh asking
Tor permission to name his hotel
The Lindbergh."
Maurice Spitzak. a Russian, who
helped rescue Lindbergh from the
crowds at LIE Bourget last Saturday
night, has been lingering outside the
American embassy since Sunday at
tempting to return to Lindbergh a,
small flashlight and a partly used
bottle of; one-grain caffeine tablets,
hold.
He refused to turn the articles
over to anyone except Lindbergh,
and finally an appointment was ar
ranged for him for tonight.
The tablets are labeled with the
name OF DIR. d. 8. Dooman, Garden
City,"
Among those who called on Lind.
bergh today was Eaime Magenat, a
former instructor in aviation in the
Missouri National Guard, who knew
Lindbergh in St. Louis.
Lindbergh greeted him warmly ana
INQUIRED after Mime. Magenat. who is
a st. Louis girl.
Lindbergh has now virtually com.
pleted his plans for the next week,
but after that he, is still in doubt.
He has received invitations to visit
most Of the European countries and
he IS personally. curious and would
like to do some sightseeing.
But. some Of his advisers have.
counselled him that perhaps It
would be wise to curtail his tour of.
Europe at this time and return to-
his own country for such cere.
monies as may be planned there.
There is little doubt that II Lind.
bergh could arrange it he would
be glad to slip back home quietly,
but he knows this Is impossible.
There are some probabilities that he
may end his tour after, visiting
London next week. t !,
