DARES MOUNTAIN PERIL
By United Press

By United Press
BOGOTA, Colombia, Jan. 28.-
The spontaneous and warm cor
diality Of the Latin people today
was bestowed upon Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh, American goodwill flier,
who flew here from Cartagena over
a dangerous airpath, conquered only
once before.
1t was one of Bogota's greatest
occasions and the Colombian capital
made good use of it.
From the moment that a tiny
Speck appeared in the skies over the
city, a frenzied excitement gripped
the Colombian citizens. More than
10000 had gathered at Madrid field
about twenty miles out of the
city-or lined the roadway which
Lindbergh must use to go into
Bogota.
Lands on Time
He landed at Madrid field at
p. m, just as he had announced he
would do. His course had taken
him over jagged mountain peaks,
and at times the Spirit of st. Louis
had to ascend to 5000 feet, almost
two miles, to clear the mountains.
Lindgergh had difficulty in locat-
Ing the landing field. He circled
Bogota several times, scared over
MT. Monserrat, flew low over several
suburbs, and then was greeted in
the air by the Colombian aviator,
DaZa.
He was escorted to Madrid field,
made a perfect landing, and then
was almost crushed in the vigorous
enthusiasm of the Colombians.
Every one rushed upon him. They
shouted. They cheered when he
smiled. Everywhere there was COM
ments as to his youthfulness.
Kissed by Queen"
1.-THE queen" of the students. Sc
lected especially for the occasion,
was escorted to the hier and kissed
him on the cheek. He grinned boy
ishly at this demonstration.
Then he was escorted into Be-
gotta, sight unprecedented in Bo-
gota's history. Along the entire
course were cheering thousands who
threw streamers over Lindbergh's
motor car and kept shouting a well
come.
A cavalry troop and several score
motor cars served as a guard of
honor.
The f1ier was taken to the Ameri-
can legation and when he appeared
in the early evening on the bal
cony there was a repetition of the
joyous welcome. One great sign
hung out over the street and on
it was printed welcome, Lind
bergh." Huge lights played on the
house where Lindbergh stayed.
He was guest of honor at a tea
and later at a dance last night.
