|Lindbergh Takes
Henry Ford on First
Ride in an Airplane

DETROIT, Aug. IL P-The famous
A. Lindbergh and his Spirit of st
Louis" made additional aviation his
tory today. They persuaded Henry
Ford and his son, Edsel, to make their
first flight.
Visibly pleased by their experience
both the automobile manufactures and
his son then took a second ride in one
of their own tri-nlotored all-metal
planes, while Lindbergh alternated at
the controls with Harry Brooks, chief
Ford pilot.
Not content with simply riding, first
Edsel and then his father sat at one
of the seats of the dual control and
observed at first hand the technique
of the air.
"It was great; there's nothing to it,
was the elder Fords comment at the
conclusion of the first flight Edsel
made similar comment and added that
he was pleased to have made his first
flight with Lindbergh and in the plane
which accomplished the historic trans
Atlantic flight.
overcoming his opposition to going
aloft, Mr.. Ford donned suitable flying
clothes and climbed into the cabin of
the spirit of st. Louis" at Ford air.

Lindbefghs invitation. Mechanics had

ground, Lindbergh headed the plane
around the field and then circled the
laboratories at Dearborn.
Ten Minutes later he landed. MIR.
Ford climbed from the plane Edsel
took his seat and the flight was re-
peated.
With the second flight completed,
the Ford plane was rolled from it's
hangar. The two Fords, Colonel Lind
bergh, Major Thomas j. Lanphir, COM
nlandant of Selfridge field, the pilots
and six others took their places in the
cabin.
Henry Ford appeared entirely at
ease. He sat comfortably in his seat.
When the plane had reached an alti-
tude Of about 1000 feet, he arose and
ri to the windows on the opposite
side of the cabin.
AS the ship passed over Bell Isle in
the Detroit river, several miles to the
south and east, after crossing the bust
ness district, Lindbergh stepped from
his place at the dual controls and took
a seat in the cabin. Edsel went to the
pilots seat.
Nearing the Fordson plant of the
Ford Motor company, IIenry Ford al
lowed his son to seat him at the con-
troll seat. He was there when Brooks
guided the plane to a smooth landing
at the airport.
"This is wonderful" the elder Ford
said as he stepped from his first ride

always intended to fly but it is one of
those things that comes at a certain
time or place and had not got around
to it before"

men who were his guests today pre-.
dicted that he would run if the con-
| vention nominates him.
They all were convinced that Mr.
Coolidge meant exactly what he saic
in his statement that 'I do not choose
to run for president in 1929" but the
opinion was held by some of them thai
the president would be drafted, ano
they all agreed that if he were, he
would run.
The group which visited at the sum-
mer White House today included Sec
retary Word, Senator Fess, of Ohio;
Governor Fisher, of Pennsylvania
representatives William E. Hull, OF
Illinois, Knutson and Selvig, of Min
nesota, and M. G. Brush, president OF
the international Mercantile Marine
association, an old friend of Mr.. Cool
idge. William j. Donovan, assistant
to the attorney general, also was pres
ent but he declined to discuss politics
To all Of this group who expressed
their sentiments to Mr.. Coolidge re-
garding his choice not to run, the presi-
dent replied substantially, it was said
that "thiS is not a one-man country
"Ten years is long time for any man
to be president. There are several
men who would make good presidents .
The most outspoken of the group
were Senator Fess and Representative
Hull, both predicted that the conven-
ton would deadlock and that Mr.
Coolidge would be named in spite of
his statement.
"It is likely" Mr.. Hull added, "that
Coolidge will be nominated for preSi-
dent in 1923, just as he was nominated
for vice president in 192O'
Amplifying that declaration, he said
that there possibly would be no con-
certed effort to nominate Mr. Coolidge
but that out of clear sky his name
would be proposed and acclamation
would result Senator FeSs declared
that the president could not decline to
run if the nomination were forced upon
him, something ne held likely.
Mr. Brush, the presidents old friend
said this when asked his opinion of
the statement:
I'm the Is years have known Mr..
Coolidge, he has always been right"
Governor Fisher volunteered that the
president, by his statement ''has not
put up a definite bar to being draft
ed" and Secretary Work declared that
no one can foretell what will happen
on March 4, 1929"
When all of the presidents visitors
had their say, Mr.. Coolidge came out
of his office and Sook them to a cele-
bration staged near Rapid City by the
local ElkS club.
Secretary Work who stopped over in
Rapid City on his way to Minneapolis,
Chicago and Washington from Belle
Fourche, S. D., said he had advised the
president to transfer to executive Or

fairs from the war to the interior de-

their knees to hand to him the city's

When at the height of his career he
drew 500 bucks a year: such opulence

he was poor; so poor he shivered in
