HERO ACKNOWLEDGES GREETING
in 124-WOrd Speech, Delivered in Clear Strong Voice,
Atlantic Ace Delivers Message Of Good Will From
People of Europe-Words That Had An International
Meaning-And That Thrilled the Hearts Of Hearers

WASHINGTON June IL (P.--In the
name of the nation, and before the
greatest throng that ever trod the
ground surrounding washington monu-
ment, President Coolidge today pinned
on the breast of Colonel Charles E.
Lindbergh the distinguished flying
cross.
The little piece, the highest American
aviation award, was added to the
youthful hero's French legion or honor
medal and others won abroad at the
end of a brief presentation speech by
the president and amid an uproaTious
tribute from the monster crowd.
Lindbergh, sitting on the gaily be-
decked reception stand to the left of
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge and in front
of his proud mother, remained appar-
emily unmoved throughout the l5-
minute ceremony and seemed to gain
confidence as the time came for his
reply to the praise and congratulations
from the chief executive.
Tremendous applause greeted both
the president and the aviator before,
during and after their speeches, and
the cheering mass kept up the demon
stration until Indy with difficulty,
had made his way out Of the grounds.
1T is our great privilege" said the
president in turning to bestoW the
medal, ito welcome back to his native
land, on behalf Of his own people, who
have a deef affection for him and have
been thrilled by his splendid achieve
ment, a colonel of the U. S. OFFICERS
reserve corps, an illuStrious citizen OF
our republic, a conqueror OF the air
and strengthener of the ties which
bind us to our sister nations across the
sea, and, as president Of the United
States, bestow the distinguished fly
ing cross as symbol Of appreciation
for what he is and what he has done,
upon Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh."
The president then placed the medal
on the left lapel of the fliers blue serge
coat, shook his hand amid cheers, and
sat down.
Lindbergh arose for his brief acknow-
ledgment but had to wait several min
uteS until the cheering throng had
uuieted down, leaning forward, his
hands grasping the little stand on
which were microphones which carried
the ceremony to the far corners OF the
country and across the sea, the blonde
youth began his 124-word speech in
clear and strong voice.
It was more than an address of
acknowledgement. 1t included words of
great significance; words that had an
international meaning-it was mes
sage of good will from Europe.
"You have seen the affection of the
people of France and the people of
Europe for the people Of America dem

NEW YORK, June IL P9.-While
washington was welcoming Charles A,
Lindbergh back to his homeland today
New York was completing its plans to
give the greatest greeting in its history
to the young flier whose fame is still
measured by but one leaf OF a monthly
calendar.
So great is this desire to see if not
actually to touch the hero of the day
that 5000 police will guard the line
of march on Monday, $500 more than
it has ever before thought necessary
to utilize. And the police will be
augmented by soldiers and sailors
placed about the. flier so closely that
it is hoped they may hold back the
crowds of enthusiastic admirers.
Not only will there be 5000 police,
but by means of subway dodgin" these
3,OOO will be enabled to do the work
of more than twice that number. 1t
was learned today that as the process
sion from the Battery to City Hall and
then to Central park progresses, the
policemen left behind along the route
will be rushed forward by special sub
way trains so that they may augment
their comrades up ahead.
Lindbergh is expeco--, to alight in
the amphibian plane in which he is
to fly from Washington at 10 O'Clock
in the morning at Quarantine. There
he will be picked up by the city tug
Macon and brougl4- to the Battery
Thence the procession will wind UP
Broadway through the narrow canyon
of the financial district to City Hall
where Mayor Walker and other Off
cials will greet the flier.
In the afternoon Governor Smith viii
welcome him in Central park, after q
procession up Fifth avenue, and ado
another medal to the collection which
llss become so numerous.
In the evening Lindbergh and his
mother will be guests Of honor at q
small reception at the Long Islanc
home of Clarei -Aay, not many
miles from the flying field whence he
flew to fame over the Atlantic wastes
The Lindberghs will spend the night al
the MacKay --~-.4c.
New York's celebration will then con
tinue for four days more.

WASHINGTON June II H9-Idol
of a nation and hero to all the world,
Charles A, Lindbergh returned today
to his native America to receive the
welcome of a home coming conoueror.
His entry into the national capital
over a roadway that had known the
tread of victorious armies and the
passing of kings and of presidents
was one of sublime triumph.
Hundreds of thousands, straining
impatiently against police barriers,
tumultuously acclaimed the blonde
young Viking who conquered the air
over the Atlantic in daring flight
alone in the cockpit OF q monoplane.
At the end of the winding route,
he was met by the president of the
United States, from whose hands
he received the highest award for
valer the air service may bestow,
the distinguished flying cross.
Here the slender youth who wrote
the greatest epic an airman had
composed faced sea of uncounted
thousands as he bent his six feet
two inches of sinewy body to bring
his smiling face in front of the
microphones which carried his voice
to every corner of the country and
to distant climes as well.
It was a simple, brief message he
delivered, one of affection for the
people of the new world from the
people of the old, a people who
honored him as perhaps no other
To- S0it in oil IA
honored in foreign lands.
This speech of just 124 words
brought a renewed ovation from the
enthusiastic thousands of his i'm
mediate audience, but if their ap-
plause or that of the thousands upon
| thousands who greeted him along
Pennsylvania avenue stirred his emo
| tions they were kept under control
| by those same nerves of steel which
carried him safely through a night
of fog, sleet and rain out on the
broad ocean eXpanse just three weeks
ago.
The young pilots conposure in the
face of such adulations was one OF
the things upon which the Grove
afterwards remarked. When men
women and children shrieked the
Joy that was theirs at a mere slghi
of him, Colonel Lindbergh appeared
to give only occasional heed, waving
his hand and smiling now and then
During most of his triumphant rldt

LINDBERCH and AIRPORT In ALL
MOTHER dine CITIES IS URGED
With PRESIDENTBY LINDBERCH

WASHINGTON June IL (P)-What
the United States needs most to
develop commercial aviation, in the
opinion of Charles A. Lindbergh, is
an airport IN every city and town
in the country.
He expressed this view tonight at
reception rendered him by the
National Press club It was held in
Washington Auditorium and a crowd
OF 5000 persons cheered the aviator
before, during and after his speech,
which was brief
"All Europe looks at our mail lines
with reverence" said Lindbergh
There is nothing like them any
where abroad, but although we have
mail lines they have passenger lines.
"It seems to me we should develop
our passenger lines to go with our
mail lines"
The young flier, who was presented
during the reception with the Smith
sonian institutions Langley medal for
aviation, said that government sub
sides we're given as the reason for
the greater development of air pas
senger travel abroad, but he added
"We don't want any subsidies. What
we need most is an airport in every
| city and town in the country.
"I feel sure that in few years
Europe will be looking at our pas
senger lines. as they are now looking
at our mail lines"
