PRESIDENT COOLIDGE LAUDS
LINDBERGH'S MEXICAN FLIGHT

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ia R)-
Hailed as the harbinger of Amer
ican good will toward Mexico,
Charles A. Lindbergh found on his
arrival today in Mexico City that
both President Coolidge and Sec
retary Kellogg expected his flight
from Washington to Mexico City
to assist the two countries in
cementing friendly relations.
President Coolidge led the way
by declaring that; Lindbergh's
courageous venture would be un-
derstOOd as one of good will, and
he added that "the true spirit
of your mission will be sympa-
theticaIIy understood in the United
States and Mexico" To the
presidents message of cOngratu-
Iati0ns Secretary Kellogg attached
his OWn--that Lindbergh not only
had advanced the cause of avIa-
tion, but would advance the

The amendment would devote
the entire additional sum to

"It will make available $2O,OOO,-
900 annually instead of $1O,OOO,OOO
for the country at large, and
after 1929 this figure will be
$25,OOO,O0O," MIR. Reed said.
The amendment also provides
that any part of the proposed
annual SS5,OOO,OOO remaining un-
expended at the end of any year

"YOu have performed a great
public service" Mr.. Kellogg said
in concluding his message.
These messages were only two
of scores which went from gov
ernment officials, army and navy
officers and others who had Wait
ed anxiOusly hours while it ap-
peared that Lindbergh may have
encountered trouble as he neared
his goal.
Lindbergh's business was made

MEXICO CITY, Dec. IA, R-@Lin-
! dy'' has done it again-he and the
other half of the famous eve"
Without stop, Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh, plotting the spirit of
St. Louis" which earlier in the year
had carried him to Paris, flew from
Washington. to Mexico City. For
more than 27 hours he was at the
controls
Perhaps there never has been wit
messed such deliriouS demonstration
of joy by a Mexican multitude as
that at 2:39 o'clock this afternoon
when after some three hours of ap-
prehension that misfortune had be-
fallen the flier, the Spirit of st.
Louis settled on the Valbuena military
aviation field two and a half miles
from Mexico City. Lindy and his
plane were safe and sound; nothing
was wrong except that miScalcu-
lation of direction carried the plane
in a great circle from Tampico into
the interior, instead of in a direct
line to Mexico City.
The Lone Eagle not only flew
over Mexico'S mountains and deserts
in this first nonstop flight between
the two capitals, but he flew straight
into the hearts of the Mexican people
hearts already long attuned in de-
votion to him by exploits Of which
they had read, hearts torn with
fears for hours for his safety.
And then-a against the purple noun
tain ranges in the distance appeared
little white speck At least $4,000,
some say 100000, persons at Valbuena
field, and as many more lining the
city streets, awaiting the coming of
the airman, began to whisper: Can
it be Lindy? Can it beP"
They were afraid to cheer; they
were almost afraid to hope. Their
nerves had been on edge as time and
again false reports were spread that
the plane had been sighted near at
hand. At last gloom had conquered
the crowd; silently and somberly, the
great masses stood dejectedly, trying
to hope, and finding it hard.
Then that white blot appeared
against the purple ranges that Cor
tez and his Spanish adventurers mas
tered four centuries ago to conquer
an empire and open a new world.
A new conqueror was crossing
those formidable purple ranges, where
the great snow tipped volcano OF

Through tie Static

Last night was another good one. While we didn't bring in the Coast, we brought in practically all points ! in between, so that's all right, too. ! We had no trouble in bringing in stations and you will see that we fared pretty we'll, as you run your eye down the column. There was practically no interference. Static was missing entirely and the bloop- CTS were enjoying a well earned rest after a strenuous weekend. So, all in all, it was pretty fair.
 VEAL, Baltimore. This station came in extremely loud from o'clock on. We heard part of the bed time story and we also listened to several numbers by the Symphony orchestra.
 WBZ, Springfield. Jack Morey's orchestra presented an interesting program of dance tunes, including that old favorite, 'Wabash Blues all logged out in a new dress. The modern lit was decidedly pleasing. Ut Made You Happy When You Made Me Cry" was also presented. Later on, Jimmy Buckner, Scotch comedian, and his Scotch American orchestra offered diverting pro- gram. We are not over fond of Scotch comedians, but Jimmy sang "Good-Bye Maggie with the proper bathos. The orchestra played real American numbers, including Little White House" and Thinking of You"
 WDRC, New Haven. This station had a tough time of it at intervals, due to the fact that other stations were continually outing in. However. the wave was strong enough to over come others most of the time and the interference was not widely mo- ticed by us. We imagine that listen CTS up in Massachusetts were hav- ing difficulty in hearing the pro- gram. The Yale Banjo club played as it's closing number medley of

appearances. At the completion of the tour he will be at WICC most every evening.
 A death-bed request from a Hart- ford hospital stopped one number on the Telephone Night Program" by Walter Dawley. broadcast on Monday evening. January A. through WTIC, Hartford. The pa- tient strained every muscle and nerve to ask that MT. Dawley play Face to Face" The request was granted immediately.
 The Telephone Night Program" mentioned was a program of request numbers received by phone which lasted for three hours. 560 requests were received and calls were still coming in when the organist finally gave up. The high lights on the pro- gram were a request from an Italian in Pennsylvania who wanted, "Yes. We Have No Bananas;" one from q young" gent 102 years old, who asked for "Yes Sir. That's My Baby" and one from a woman 80 years old. She called again shortly after mid- night and requested Walter to hurry up and play the number because her batteries were getting weak.
 
 That's all for today, thanks!

Interstation in reference was featured here, al. though WPCH, at times, was loud enough to overcome anything. Dave Elmer recited Barbara Freitchie," 1" in German dialect. Very funny and etc.

 tr ,,t plea to radio fans asking for old or obsolete copies of the works of Ste- phen Foster, American composer, whose centenary will be observed by the Travellers stations artists in the near future.
 Dana S. Merriman, musical direc- tor, is particularly anxious to re- ceive copies of the following num- bers: Open Thy Lattice Love, The Louisiana Belle, Old Uncle Ned, o Suzanna, Old bod Tray. Gentle Annie, Willie We Have Missed You, I Would Not Die in the Springtime, Come Where My Love Lies Dream ing, I See Her Still in My Dreams, Ellen Bayne, Laura Lee, The Camp Town Races.
 It is his intention to arrange a spe- cial program in commemoration of the death of this composer and have 1t broadcast by the Travellers Choral club with soloists. Anyone possessing or knowing where copies of the above works may be obtained, should communicate with Dana s. Merriman, musical director, Station WTIC. Hartford. Conn.
 One of Americas leading radio an- nouncers is now a member of the staff of W1CC. Bridgeport. Every Monday and Wednesday evening finds Norman Brokenshire in full charge of the station.

The old favorite, National Emblem March" was also presented.
 WEAF, New York. Not as loud as we have heard it in the past. This was partly due to code interference, which was very troublesome at times. The code was of raspy type which defed our efforts to get through it. Overture to Romeo and Juliet" was played by an orchestra. WARS, Brooklyn. Clear and loud. Dance orchestra played Where DO You Worka, John?" which is enjoy ing quite run for itself.
 
 CFCF, Montreal. This station was also very loud. something quite un- usual. it seems to us. The Mount Royal orchestra offered Some Day." one of the older dance tunes which never seems to grow old.
 WMBF. Miami Beach. The Fleet wood Hotel dance orchestra played dance music and we had a bit of a job hearing WMBF, since it was sandwiched in between WHAZ, Troy, and WLWL. New York. with WTAM doing it's stuff little farther away. The station came through rather raspy and rough.
 WHAZ, Troy. The station threw off it's invisible, or rather, inaudible cloak and allowed us to listen to it without having to dive into a pool of noise and pull the wave out by the ears.

 WHN, New York. Fof the first time in ages we brought in WHN clearly and with enough volume, al- though the fading was there, as usual. Charles Cornell, with banjo accompaniment, sang, Here Comes Melindy Now" an old time number dating to the era of the Coon Cong Craze"
