fighting.
Here. we haven't anything to do
let's go fly" he said to Will Rogers
and Alan Winslow, first secretary of
the American embassy. They agreed
and the party went to the Valbuena
Field. There he took them and many
Mexican aviation officials aloft. He
spent approximately an hour and a
half in the air, using Mexican army
planes.
Mexican pilots expressed un-
bounded amazement for his skill,
facility and seemingly uncanny abil-
ity to step into any kind of plane
at any time and handle it MASTER
fully.
Lindbergh intends to remain here
until after Christmas. His mother
will come from Detroit to spend
Christmas with him as Ambassador
Morrow's guest. Then Lindbergh will
set out on a further mission of good
will to Central America. He will
visit Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador
and Panama. Leaving Panama, he
will go to Havana, Cuba before re-
turning to his home port, st. Louis.
Christmas Plans Incomplete.
1t has not been decided whether
Christmas dinner with Mrs. Lind
bergh here will be a private home af-
fair at the embassy residence or
whether an elaborate function will he
held with prominent guests.
Several times during Col. Lind
bergh,s stay Ambassador Morrow is
planning to hold big garden parties
and receptions in order to give Meyi-
cans. Americans and members of the
foreign coloney an opportunity to
meet the American aviator.
Five mail pouches containing more
than 5000 letters sent TO Lindbergh
from all parts of Mexico and abroad
have been delivered at the American
embassy. where special clerical
force is. handling them.
Between 400 and 500 invitations
already have been received from as
many towns and cities in Mexico for
Col Lindbergh to visit them.
At present II seems improbable that
he will go elsewhere in Mexico than
the capital, although the town of
Toluca-the first town he identified in
Mexico when he was lost, enabling
him to locate Mexico City-is exceed
ingly anxious for him to fly there for
brief visit.
