Should the aviator get off the

Lindbergh Is Still

PARIS, May 24.-Hero or not,
Capt. Charles A. Lindbefgh still
considers himself flying mailman.
Receiving correspondents today
at the American embassy Lind

that he was still in the aerial mail
service of the United States.
"Will you return to the mail

"Why," gasped the youth, 81

1t was new Lindbergh that the

Other Fetes Planned
Tonight Ambassador Herrick- is
giving a dinner for the young flier,
and Lindbergh is looking forward
to tomorrow when he will have
lunch with Bleriot, the first man
ever to fly across the English Chan
mel, a man whom Lindbergh regards
as a great pioneer.
Tomorrow afternoon Lindbergh
will be q guest Of the Chamber Of
Deputies.
On Thursday he will receive an
official welcome from the city of
Paris, and will be entertained at
luncheon by Foreign Minister
BRAND.
All these receptions and luncheons
and dinners, don't mean much to
Lindbergh, who drinks not at all,
and eats Sparingly, for he is anxious
to get back to his own world Of mo-
tors, planes, gasoline and oil.
Helps Paris Police
The Partisan police today had to
appeal to Capt. Charles A. Lind.
ebrgh for aid.
While Lindbergh was being
entertained by the American Club
at the Hotel Des Ambassadors
huge throngs gathered In front Of
the hotel and became unmanage-
able.
Gendarmes finally entered the
dining room and excitedly whis-
pered to Lindbergh that the crowds
were beyond all control and could
only be pacified by a glimpse of
"L'homme Formidable"
Lindbergh left his luncheon and
went to a bacony, where he made
an appearance to the cheers Of the
great crowds and returned some Is
minutes after to his dinner.
