SAN SALVADOR, Salvador, Jan. 2,
(P1-Colonel Lindbergh has under
consideration an extension of his
Central American tour to include
Colombia and Venezuela, but will not
make a decision until he reaches
Panama.
The flier from the United States
told correspondents today he had
made no definite plans in this re-
spect, but said they were under con-
sideration.
Receptions and official ceremonies
took up Lindbergh's time today.
President Romero Bosque pinned a
commemorative gold medal upon him
at reception at the national palace.
Members of the cabinet, the dip
lomatic and consulate corps, and
other high officials were present at
these ceremonies.
On. the way to the palace the
streets were lined with some 10000
persons, who flocked to view the pri-
vate citizen who is honored here as
a special ambassador of the United
States. News and news reel photo
grapherS had their cameras trained
on him at points all along the route
to get every detail of his progress.
Overhead a squadron of Salvadoran
airplanes performed evolutions in
friendly demonstration for the visit
ing flier.
Other entertainments in his honor
today were at the American legation
and the San Salvador country club
Lindbergh expects 20 hop off to-
morrow morning between II and IL

Lindbergh told correspondents to-
day that he was disappointed in not
seeing much of the beautiful noun
tain scenery on the way here from
Belize, British Honduras, because OF
fog that blanketed it. Atmospheric
conditions are favorable for a Cen
tral American aerial mail service

The flier commented on the fact
that Salvador is well cultivated and

NeU Year Observed
At White House In
Traditional Manner

WASHINGTON D. c., Jan. 2, up
In keeping with a tradition as old
as the United States itself, New Years
was observed at the White House
today when President and Mrs. Cool
idge exchanged the seasons greet
ings with more than 5000 diplomats,
officials of the government and
Washington citizens.
The divisions of the marine band,
clad in bright red coats and blue
trousers, played briskly in the foy-
er of the executive mansion, as the
long line filed by the president and
Mrs Coolidge, who stood in the
blue room. When the last well wish
er had gone, the president and his
staff walked outside in the near
zero weather to pose for pictures and
wave a greeting to the crowd as
sembled at the north portico.
In spite of the cold weather, the
number that shook hands with Mr..
and Mrs Coolidge today was slightly
more than year ago. The number
was 1921, which was los more than
last year.
1t was merry, jostling crowd that
passed down the long red -carpeted
hall through the state dining room
into the blue room
PrecedentS were followed carefully,
especially in the morning when the
president and Mrs. Coolidge well
coined the diplomatic corps, mem
bers of the cabinet and other gov
ernment officials Promptly at elev-

open as the band played Hail to
the Chief" and Mr.. and Mrs. Cool
idge, followed by cabinet members
and their wives, descended and took
their places in the blue room.
With the band playing appropriate
seasonal airs, members of the dip
lomatic corps in brilliant colored uni
forms and gold braid we're received.
They we're led by Sir Esme Howard
as dean of the diplomatic corps,
who brought the seasons greetings
from King George of England
The white, carefully trimmed hair
and mustache of the British ambas-
sador was set off by uniform vir-
tually covered with heavy gold braid.
A cleaning sword hung by his side
and from shoulder to shoulder was
a broad band of red and blue, From
his chest dozen medals of the
various orders to which he lays
claim we're suspended His uniform
was scarcely more brilliant than that
of the Danish minister, Constantin
Brun, whose gold braided shoulders
were partly covered with a cape of
scarlet
The new ambassador from Belgium,
Prince Albert De Ligne, his tall,
slender bearing accentuated by a red
uniform of glove fitting tightness, was
there with his staff and together
with the rest of the ambassadors
and ministers filled the historic east
room with gaiety as new years
greetings were exchanged among
them.

NAva Scotia three master on its
way up the coast to Portland.
Prior to his arrival here yester-
day, he had put into Salem,
Mass, where the BeIIiveau re-
manned for five days.
Meanwhile the story of the
gruesOme event at sea remained
untold, it being the apparent
belief of the Nova Scotia crafts
officers that they had no impOr:-

This story of the DaWn's prob
able fate, related for the first
time today, apparently confirms
the report made by Jerome
Knowles, wireless operator aboard
the steamer Oakley L. Alexander,
when the ship docked here Dec
ember 80, that the GraysOn plane
did not fly far beyond Cape Cod.
Knowles said that at 1880 p. M,
December %, as the E7exander
was passing Cape Cod, he heard

PORTLAND, Maine, Jan. 2 tP-
The splash of what was believed
to be an airpIane into the sea
off Cape Cod, heard by officers
and crew of the schooner Rose
Ann BeIIiveau, is believed by them
to have solved the fate of Mrs.
Frances Wilson Grayson's amphi-
bian plane, The Dawn, and its
daring filters.
Captain r.. v. Comeau of the
schooner reported here today that
he was called on deck during
bowling Northwestern shortly after
1880 o'clock on the night of
December %, when his vessel was
at point 18 miles northwest of
Nauset Beach light on Cape Cod.
He said he first distinguished
faint sounds that he positively
identified as the hum of airpIane
motors. These sounds came to an
abrupt ending within ten minutes,
when a heavy splash was heard.
He stated that while only a
Staunch vessel could have battIed
against the seas at that time, he
made an attempt to ''llang
around" with the BeIliveau,

CHINA AT LAST
ON FIRM BASE,
/ LEADER SAYS
Nationalist Declared Too
Strong to Lose Hard
Won Right to Rule.
BY HARRY w. FRANTZ
United Press staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, June 14.-The
Chinese people are united for the
first time since 1917, and there is
no likelihood of any reactionary
movement against the Nationalist
government unless one should be
notivated by foreign powers.
This was the statement today of
DR.. G, G. WI, member of the SUI
preme council of the Nationalist
government and of the central ex-
ecutive council of the Kuomintang
(Nationalist) party.
"There is a disposition in some
foreign quarters to SOW dissension
in China, but this will not lead to
any large-scale subversive move
ment," DR.. WI, who is here look
ing to Nationalist interests, said in
a United Press interview
"The gist of the situation in
China is that the Nationalist party,
as a party, is so strong that it can
not be overthrown," he said, con-
fidentially, there is nothing which
could take it's place.
"It is the only party with COM
plete organization and firmly es-
tablished principles. Those prin-
cipleS, as stated by DR.. Sun Vat
Sen, father of the revolution, many
years ago, are nationalism, democ-
racy and the peoples welfare"
