CROSS Of HONOR
AWARDED ACE

Under the shadow of the Capitol
dome, where he had often played
as boy, Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh yesterday received the final
tribute that Washington had to
give him.
More than $4,000 persons saw
| him awarded the Cross of Honor
of the American Flag Association,
the presentation being made by
Charles e. Hughes, former Secre-
tary of State.
On this occasion, as at Walter
Reed. the flier took occasion to re.
mind the nation that there were
other heroes of aviation who were
| unhonored and unsung. who should
share in the credit of his great
| achievement.
Not Act Of Single Pilot
I'm relation to this flight from
New York to Paris" he declared,
there are other things to take
! into consideration. You should con-
slider what made this flight pos
sible.
1T was not the act of a single pilot,
but the elimination of 20 years of
scientific endeavor. My plane repre-
sents a number of American indus
tries, and represents only American
industries. Years research and
scientific investigation should be
taken into consideration in addition

across"
The eloquent tribute which Mr..
! Hughes paid to the aviator was
cheered by the audience.
You flew the Spirit of st. Louis,
rs typifylng the spirit of your enter
prise" Mr.. Hughes said, "but in
your flight you happily incarnated
the spirit of America. The spirit of
America that you incSrnate is, the
spirit of youth. Our flag is not the
flag of a race, but the flag of a peo-
pie. You represent to us what our

ing of character and enterprise.
How could our flag be better rep
resented by other than you with your
| youth. ardor, indomitable will, your
| skill and devotion to principles of
peaceful intercourse between the ma.
tions?"
The ceremony took place on the
Capitol steps, and Lindbergh and
his mother were welcomed by Col.
James A. Moss, director general OF
the United States Flag Association,
which arranged the ceremony. Chill.
dren were there in force, forming
two American flags in their cos.
tunes of red, white and blue. Above
4 them, on the upper flight, there
was a negro chorus of 1000 voices
4 The pledge to the flag was led
by Mrs. Mabel Walker Wilebrandt
Assistant Attorney General, and
there was an explanation OF the
spirit of the service" by Master
Theodore Tiller.
Col. Lindbergh and his mother
went directly TO the temporary
White House after this ceremony
had been concluded. having dinner
with the President and Mrs. Cool
lidEs shortly afterward.

entered the Metropolitan Theater
to attend church services.
She saw for the first time yes
terday, the silent partner of her
sons now historic flight. The
mother was visibly moved as she
looked out on the Spirit of st.
Louis" resting on a barge In the
water off Hams Point.
Together they went out to Walter
Reed to visit with the manned
veterans of the wars.
Bows TO Soldiers
She bowed graciously to the
former soldiers when in response
to cries of His mother, we want
to see his mother" she walked to
the front of the stand In the gar
den of the hospital.
Speaking in a low-pitched voice,
she sympathized with Miss Sallie
Finney, a member of the hospital
staff, whose fiance. an aviator. was
killed a few weeks ago.
The mother and son spent the rest
Of their time at the hospital visiting
with those who were physically un.
able to attend the reception in the
garden.
Up and down the long lines of the
crippled, they walked. She had little
to say in the presence of these men
but she paused frequently to smile
at one and another.
Earlier in the day, they went te
Arlington Cemetery, unaccompanied
by the President and Mrs. Coolidge
Mrs. Lindbergh stood in the back
ground while her son placed a
wreath on the Tomb of the I'm
known Soldier, the fourth he has
SO decorated since he landed in
Paris.
Perhaps the greatest moment fol

Representatives. All the emotion.

surged to the front as she watched
her sons triumph on the very spor

Mrs. Lindbergh Slips
Quietly Out of Capital
And Goes to New York

After two days as the guest of
President and Mrs. Coolidge, Mrs.
Evangeline Lodge Lindbergh left
Washington late last night for New
York.
There she will join her son who
took off from Boiling Field this
morning for the nations largest
city.
Appearing a little tired from the
rigors Of Washington's welcome,
Mrs. Lindbergh made every effort to
avoid attention as she left the city
which had so warmly acclaimed
her.
with only two lone women watch
ing to see her off, she left the
White House for Union Station
shortly before 10 p. m. John Hays
Hammond, chairman of the recep-
ton committee, and Capt. John M.
Dalton, one of the White House
aides, accompanied her.
Special Car For Her
A special car had been attached
, to the 1910 midnight express over
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Smiling,
but still silent so far as reporters
were concerned, she entered the car
to wait for her uncle who accom-
panied her on the trip to New York.
Yesterday was trying one for
the modest school teacher as she
rode with her son from one cere-
nnony to another.
A scorching sun beat down on
them as they sat in the back seat
of the open White House car. The
tanned young aviator appeared not
to mind the heat but his mother
was obviously uncomfortable.
Both sides of F Street were
thronged with men, women and
/ children yesterday morning, pa.

the flier and his mother as they

Crowd Almost
Rushes Into
Propeller

A serious accident was averted
as Indy got away only by the
quick wits of an aviator who got
away without his identity becoming
known.
When Lindbergh decided to aban-
don his own ship and take an
Army plane for the flight the
mechanics wheeled out substitute
plane but the motor of this ship
also was found to be faulty.
Then the little Curtiss in which
he finally took off was wheeled out
far down the line.
The crowd, i'm running down the
line Of ships, veered in under the
wings Of = three.mOtOred Martin
bombing plane which was warming
up and in the rush several men
were pushed toward the whirIing
prOpeIIers.
A mechanic or pilot quickly
jumped into the control seat and
shut off the engines and then
jumped out and was lost in the
crowd before his identity was
learned.

"A decidedly different crowd

as he placed a wreath on the tomb

the same gray hat in his right
hand. his blond hair tossed in the

The smile had left his face, and
a deep expression of reverence took
its lace. With his left hand he
placed the red, white and blue
wreath on the marble slab and
stepped a pace back to bow his

As he waited a moment, between
the khaki-clad doughboys, standing
at present arms with their bayonets

intense hush swept over the entire

GREET ACE

Charles Lindbergh came, saw and
conquered at Walter Reed Hospital
yesterday.
There was an exchange of trib.
utes-the veterans hailing the flier
in a tumult OF joy, and then-as il
there was a fraternal bond OF cour-
age between them-"L Indy" telling
them that their own deeds on the
field of battle far outshone what he
had done.
Rarely has the green meadow,
that is Walter Reeds amphitheater,
presented spectacle az impressive
as yesterdays. "Lindy'' was well
coined with crutches waving in air,
disabled men half lifting them.
selves out Of wheel chairs and with
shouts OF joy.
He made a graceful speech. halt
ing but heartfelt, in which he said:
The war was so overshadowing
that the deeds OF heroism which you
men performed have been lost and
forgotten. think It would be well
not to forget the things that were
done in the war, especially by the
airmen in the war, whose deeds far
surpass anything that has been done
in peace time. This Is fitting time
to remember them"
Visits Bed-Ridden
It was not alone this little remin.
der OF their own courage that en-.
deared him to the veterans. Lind
bergh insisted, both before and after
the ceremony in tho amphitheater,
upon giving personal message of
greeting to several score OF the dis.
abled.
In the Administration Building the
flier was escorted to about 40 bed
ridden patients, veterans too i'll to
be wheeled to the amphitheater. He
talked to each one of them. No one
was with him when he visited with
these ex-service men, even his
mother remaining out OF the ward.
There was no ceremony and no form
for him to observe.
There are a few veterans at Wal
ter Reed so i'll that they were not
able to see Iindbergh even in the
hospital. These sent a message to
him through Brig. Gen. James NJ.
him to Walter Reed.
In the ampiitheater there were
about 5000 veterans and friends
gathered when Iindbergh appeared
at the head of the green-walled aisle
leading down to the platform. At
his side was his mother, radiant
and smiling. and the fIier himself
was obviously more at home and
more pleased with his surroundings
than at previous ceremonies, be-
cause all the arrangements were
so informal.
Real Washington Sun
The sun was a real Washington
sun, and Indy felt the heat, his
face being tanned and rudy. He
was introduced TO the crowd by
Brig. Gen. John nj. Glenn, the well.
known Johnny" Glenn, the drum.
mer boy of Shiloh. General Glenn
called him a great hero.
Then '.Lindy' made his speech
which showed him to be the same
modest, unspoiled boy that left
American shorse three weeks or
more ago on his great adventure
After that he walked down from
the rostrum and shook hands with
the veterans in wheel chairs rim
ming the platform. stopping to talk
with several of them. With him
was his mother. who talked to the
gray ladies of Walter Reed" the
nurses whose names are known the
country over. Among them was
Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers.
After that the f1ier and his en-
tourage made their way back tc
