PARIS, May 27.-Capt. Lindbergh
flew over Paris in a French plane for
more than an hour this morning. Dur
ing the flight he paid homage to
Frances Unknown Soldier, flying over
the tomb in the Arc de Triomphe in
graceful curves and descending at one
time to within about $50 feet of the
hallowed spot.
Lindbergh was up shortly after day
light, and an embassy car took him
to LIE Bourget, where French military
flyers were awaiting him.
During his flight he violated the
city ordinances and military regula-
tions by flying low, but he had q
military escort in another monoplane,
and at any rate no one had the least
objection to his doing as he chose.
After breakfast he went shopping.
He had no Official program this
morning, and his flight and shopping
trip were unheralded.
He looked around for presents for
his mother and friends back home,
but exactly what he did about the
something from Paris" that he must
take home he did not say.
Photographed and Sculptured.
One of the things he had to do this
morning was to have his picture taken
as a sort of official photograph. He
is also being sculptured. The Sculptor
Goursat has modelled miniature bust
of him with the base extended in the
form of an ash tray--although Lind
bergh does not smoke.
Cach de Paris, a black-and-white
artist, who also handles clay, like
wise is working on a bust which he
plans to complete in 33h hours, the
time required for Lindbergh's New
York Paris flight.
Lindbergh returned to the embassy
only an hour before he was due to
leave for luncheon given by NJ.
Painleve at the ministry of war; He
seemed to have enjoyed his morning
off and to have recovered from the
fatigue of yesterdays hard round of
ceremonies.

tp Mf5ffof the HvistsSf were Gen.

photographer of Little Falls, Mimi,
who has known Lindbergh since the
age Of 3, when his family bought land
from the flyers father.
Misses Flying Teacher.
Lindbergh, in the midst of the
throng of notables that crowded
around him as he descended from the
car, recognized his old friend in the
photographer swapping him with
big newspaper camera, and took time
to promise him a few minutes of his
already crowded afternoon.
Another friend, who, however, miss
ed greeting him by only a few min
utes, was Aime Magnenat, a French
flyer, who for a time was an instruc-
tor at the aviation field in st. Louis,
and who taught Lindbergh a lot about
handling a plane. He had come all
the way from the Riviera to see his
old pupil, but got only a glimpse of
him as he went up the steps Of the
war ministry.
Military honors were rendered by a
platoon of 10 men and corporal as
Lindbergh mounted the stairs to
greet the distinguished company. The
crowd cheered again and again. 1t
seemed for moment that the pro-
ceedings would have to be halted.
Lindbergh managed to get inside, how
ever, and the luncheon proceeded.
Capt. Lindbergh's love of flying kept
four cabinet members waiting at the
luncheon.
The delay was occasioned by the
flyers visit to the Villacoublay Flying
Field, southwest. Of Paris, where he
went after a shopping expedition this
morning. He spent an hour at Villa
coublay looking over the planes and
discussing them with aviators, engi-
neers and mechanics. The flying field
force took a liking to him because, as
it was remarked, "he knows his busi-
ness"
