Flanked by deStroyerS, the pride of
the scouting fleet came "over the
hill" slowly, while army, navy and
marine corps planes winged out to
meet her amid a laundering roar
Of motors.
At 3:55 o'clock the cruiser entered
the capes over the lane where three
centuries ago Captain John Smith
and his hardy pioneers ended a two
months tenptestuous voltage and
moved up the James river to found
the first English-speaking colony in
America at Jamestown.
Through binoculars the watchers
on shore could plainly make out one
figure in civilian clothes on the main
deck forward and they surmised that
this was the man who had linked
America and France by air only three
short weeks ago.
Once inside the capes the Memphis
slowed down while the destroyer

permission to go aboard.
Gathering speed again, the cruiser
with her convoy turned up the bay
for the overnight run to Washington,
where the Memphis is due at IL a.
m. tomorrow, with an air escort larger
than any other craft has had in
American waters
While the service airmen who went
out to meet the Memphis put on a
thrilling show for the shore watchers,
there was disappointment that the
navy's giant dirigible Los Angeles
had been held at her hangar at
Lakehurst, N. j., by adverse winds.
1t had been intended to have the
Los Angeles go to sea and accom-
pany the cruiser up the bay.
First contact with the Memphis
from the air was made by the navy's
squadron of four planes, carrying
Captain j. j. Bady, commander OF
the scouting fleet air, forces, and
newspaper men. The squadron arose
at 2:3O p. M, and headed for the
open sea at rs miles an hour.

CAPE HENRY, Va, June 10 P-
Nearing another triumphant journeys
end, Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
entered the sheltering waters of his
home land late today aboard the
cruiser Memphis.
While the official welcome
waits until tomorrow at Washington,
the young hero of the New York
to-Paris solitary flight was acclaimed
enthusiastically from the air, the sea
and the land.
AS the trim, loW-lying cruiser
slipped between the Virginia capes,
army and navy planes circled over
head in droves, carrying once more
to Lindbergh's ears the sweet music
of the propeller's drone.
Excursion craft, yachts and motor
boats, loaded to the gunwales, which
had waited behind the protecting lea
of Cape Henry rushed out into the
lower Chesapeake bay to give tne
aviator a noisy welcome from their
whistles and sirens.
AS he stood on the forward deck
of the Memphis, with the sand dunes
of Cape Henry to the left and the
flattened shore of Cape Charles to
the right the fair Viking could dis
Germ against low lying clouds thous-
ands of Virginians gathered to 90

the bay as the Memphis was under
orders to proceed to Washington
without any stops except to take on
customs officers.
The first welcome to the Memphis
was carried far to sea by four de-
stroyers, swift darting hornets OF
the navy, which formed her convoy
to the capes and up the bay and
the Potomac river.
The first word from shore came,
f, however, from the Cape Henry

up six bright bits of bunting forming

night by President Coolidge to gov
eminent officials at the semi i-alnl,al
budget meeting but he warned that
the margin of about $60O,O0O0OO in
sight could not be turned over en-
tircly to tax reduction
Decreases in tax rates also must

strict liynitatiOn Of government ex-
penditures to approximately the pres

Not only will the surplus for this

warned tonight that hope OF further
tax reduction was futile unless fed
