The Navy cruiser Memphis, with
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh as the
Nations guest aboard, is due off the
Navy Yard tomorrow morning at
IL o'clock, according to advices by
the Navy Department today. AS
soon as she docks, about II is, Mrs,
Evangeline Lindbergh, the school
teacher mother of the intrepid flyer,
will be taken aboard to be the first
to greet her son in the National Cap
ital. Col. Lindbergh will have lunch
con aboard the Memphis before he
lands at noon.
During the forenoon the women's
reception committee, headed by Miss
Mabel T. Boardman of the American
Red Cross, will send letter, large
bunch of red roses and silver vase
to Mrs. Lindbergh at the White
House.
Mother to Be Honored.
The vase will be more than a foot
high and will bear this inscription:
ITO Evangeline Lodge Lindbergh,
in appreciation of mother and son."
The State Department today took in
charge a new feature of the Lindbergh
celebration here. In appreciation of
the hearty reception and high honorS
accorded the American boy in the capt.
tails of the Old World, he is to make
a brief call at the French, British and
Belgian embassies here. The time of
these calls has not been determined,
and everything possible will be done
to prevent a traffic jam that the police
and military escort cannot control.
Official Picture Planned.
Sometime during the Lindbergh
visit an official War Department pic
ltylre of the daring young pioneer of
y the. skies will e-bs ken by the photo
section of the Signal Corps as a his
Itorical photograph. The time for this
has not been determined, but it will
probably be done some time Sunday
and possibly at Boiling Field, if and
when he goes to inspect the work in
assembling his famous monoplane,
the Spirit of st. Louis.
Plans also are being worked out
so as to avoid crowd at Boiling Field
Sunday that might break bounds and
do damage to this historic airship. 1t
is hoped that after it is assembled it
can be put on float and anchored off
Hains Point, so that the public will
have an opportunity to view it Sun
day afternoon.
Will Fly Over City.
Col. Lindbergh will make a flight
pver Washington, encircling the city
several times, Monday morning be-
fore he strikes out for New York, it
was officially announced today, first
by Mai. Gen. Anton Stephan and then
by Mai. Gen. Mason NJ. Patrick, chief
of the Army Air Corps. This is to
be solo fight, with no other planes
near him as escort, in order that there
may be no doubt in the minds of the
people that they have actually seen
the intrepid flyer himself.
This official announcement at the
meeting of the executive committee
today was greeted with hearty ap-
1proval not only because it will give the
people of Washington an opportunity
to see Col. Lindbergh in his historic
plane. the Spirit of st. Louis, but

at Boiling Field, from which he is
to make his hop-off.
