LlNDBERGH CAREFUL,
SAYS OLD OFFICER
Ex-Adjutant General of Missouri
National Guard Declares He's
No Flying Fool"

Capt. Charles A. Lindbergh Is nc
flying fool" but a very careful flyer,
Gen. Frank NJ. Rumbold of Hartman
& Co. said today. Gen. Rumbold
who until March was adjutant gen.
eral of Missouri, knew Lindbergh and
watched his work for two years while
Lindbergh was vice commander of the
10th Observation Squadron, Missouri
National Guard.
Lindberghs ''undaunted courage
probably won him the name of "fying
fool" Gen. Rumbold believes. Dur.
ing the two years / have known him
l have found him bashful, even diff.
dent. but with wonderful nerve.'' he
said
Gen. Rumbold praised Lisdbergh's s
devotion to duty, and supplied an
incident missing in Lindbergh's ac-
count of one of his narrow escapes
On one Of the occasions when he ran
out of gas and had to use his para.
chute, Gen. Rumbold said, Lindbergh
first shut off his motor to save his
plane from burning up and then
jumped into the darkness. After he
landed, he tramped through the
countryside until he found farm
house, got a wagon, went back and
found his mail plane and hauled the
mail to the nearest railroad station.
His one idea was to get that mail
there" Gen. Rumbold said.
Lindbergh was popular with his as
sociates and admired by all flyers, he
said, and the kind of man likely to
succeed in q venture such as the Paris
flight.
