WILL LIKELY BE JUNE IL
FLYER Will Be Guest at White
House - Mother May
Also Stay There

Washington. June 2.--[P)--A ma
tion eager to reward uncommon skill
and valor looked forward
today to June II when
Captain Charles A. Lindberh, ar
irving aboard the cruiser Memphis.
is to be acclaimed by his own people
personified by their president.
This young flyer, whose exploits
of the air have stirred the admira-
ton of the world, is destined to find
a homecoming at the hands of folks
who know and understand him equal
to his remarkable receptions in the
lands where he was stranger. Al
though accustomed to great events,
Washington has been fired into un-
usual enthusiasm, realizing. perhaps,
that it's welcome, unlike that of any
other city, will typify the gratitude
Of the whole country.
After he has been honored by
President Coolidge on behalf of the
nation, Lindbergh will be free to go
to New York from where he first
flew to fame, to St. Louis which
made his history-making flight pos
sible, and to any other cities, which
might be granted the privilege Of
honoring him.
Commission Named
Meanwhile, having learned that
Captain Lindbergh desires to return
direct to Washington, the presidents
special cabinet committee has placed
responsibility for working out Of the
details of the reception on q District
of Columbia commisson headed by
John Hays Hammond. The extent of
the flyers stay in Washington will
be determined alone by his wishes.
The exact time of the official re-
ception also is detail to be de-
termined later. Lindbergh is sched-
uled to reach Washington Saturday,
June II, but if the arrival is very
late at night, President Coolidge will
decorate him with the distinguished
flying cross on Monday shortly be-
/, fore the executive leaves for his
vacation. 4 r..,-s
Airmen to Mssst ship
The more definite part of the pro-
gram, however, was being worked out
carefully. Long before the Memphis
sights land, army and navy airmen
plan to push out in a fleet of planes
to meet the flyer and guide him up
the Potomac to the capitol, con-
vinced that official sanction for this
welcome will be given. This prob
ably would be near sundown since
the naval officers were certain that
the Memphis, one of the fastest yes
sells afloat, will be able to reach the
Virginia Capcs by that time.
During his stay in Washington
Lindbergh will be the guest Of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge at the White
House and it is probable that the

CORN REACHES
NEW HIGHS ON
GRAIN MARTS
Moves Well Above Dollar 4
Bushel, Due to Poor
Crop Reports

Chicago, June 2.-P,-King Corn
has stepped to the front in the grain
markets Of the country.
The golden product of the middle
west has moved we'll above dollar
a bushel in wild bull market, in
duced largely by unfavorable crop
reports.
Fulfills 1. H. C. Prediction
incidentally the rise has fulfilled
the prediction of the international
Harvester company that corn would
reach a dollar a bushel, made last
year at time when it offered to
exchange farm implements on the
basis of dollar corn, although the
cereal then was in the doldrums, far
below that figure.
At that time few agreed with the
view of the implement company. ).
Campaigns were instituted through
out the corn belt to induce the coun-
literally to eat up the large sur
plus.
Rains Gave Boost
It took rains through the corn
belt, however. to give the cereal it's
big lift in the marts, and the last
few days have witnessed what trad
ers said was one Of the most sensa-
tional rec0veries that the corn trade
has known in recent years.
Corn advanced here yesterday to-
the hiRhe1t level in two years. July
jumped five and 4 quarter cents 70
l.O6A and was : fraction under that
price At the close, while September
touched l.o7A, and yirtpally closed
there. Since April 16, the price has
risen almost 20 cents.
