HOUGHTON ADVISES RETURN
Diplomatic Embarrassment Feared
If Visits Are Extended.

By the Associated Press.
Fear that Ambassador HOughtOn. at
London. that inability of Capt. Charles
A. Lindbergh to visit all European
countries might prove embarrassing
in diplomatic circles Is understood
here to have prompted the Ambas-
sador to advise the New-York-to-P
flyer to return soon to the United
States.
Great pressure has been brought
to bear on Ambassador Herrck at
Paris, and Mr.. Houghton by other
diplomats who desire the young
flyer to visit their capitals. RealiZa-
ton that extension of Lindbergh's
tour beyond France. Belgium and
England virtually would require him
to visit all European countries lest
his omission of some be misconstrued
is believed to have inspired Amba ssa-
dor Houghton's proposal.
The State Department. which has
had no hand in the conduct of Lind
bergh's tour, is understood to have
mande no objection to Houghton's
suggestion that he return, although
it has realized that the young aerial
ambassador had done much to cement
Americas friendly relations abroad

that blocked highways and railway
lines and said that more than 60
houses in widely scattered areas were
either demolished or badly damaged,
by flood waters. Eight slides between
