 He was a man of few words when he flew away to Paris a year ago tomorrow. and year later he is a man of even fewer words, if such a thing be possible
 When "Slim" Lindbergh of the air mail dropped out of the sky at Curtiss Field on May 12. 1927, two days out of San Diego with a stop at St. Louis. he was surrounded by a score of reporters as soon as he stepped from the Spirit of St. Louis." then known to fame only as the craft that had brought its pilot across the continent in rec. ord breaking time and to New York seven hours before he was ex- pectcd.
 The reporters gathered about Lindbergh and asked him at least loo questions
 He answered most of them, using not more than 500 words for the lot, One word was enough for most of them, two at intervals and rarely three.
 "Where were you born'''
 "Detroit"
 ''How long have you been n.y. ingc"
 'Six years"

THE DEPARTMENT OF COM

MERGE. WASHINGTON.
 The greatest epic in the worlds aeronautical history was written one year ago today when Charles Lind- berg, an all but unknown mall pilot. set out upon the most daring travel venture in the recollection of man kind.
 To him should go the title of a great educator. No other man has been able to approach even remote ly his success in impressing our people with the necessity of sup porting a comprehensive air pro- gram. Certainly the gratifying pro- gress of the past year is sub stantial tribute to his sincere and earnest endeavors to place the United States in it's rightful position -in the lead of all others.

WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON.

A year ago Colonel Lindbergh un- ostentatously started the flight which eliminated at what proved to be the focal point of world-wide at- tention, praise and hero worship. We then asked ourselves the value of his stupendous accomplishment. Now he has given us the answer.
 In twelve months of almost con- tinuous flight throughout the Vest ern Hemisphere he has fixed the eyes of the world upon the safety of air travel. A year ago his Atlan- tic flight was a great adventure. To- day it Is the symbol of vast stride by American science. Such is lead ership; such is the Spirit of America.

FAMOUS INVENTOR
KILLED IN Plane
Made the Earth lnduCt0r Com.
pass Used by Col. Lindbergh

PottsviIle, Pa, July - PlA bolt
of lightning today was believed to
have caused the fatal plunge of an
airplane in which Morris NJ. litter
ingtpn, inventor of the earth Undue
tor compass, and Mrs. Bernice Gam
bic Andrews, movie actress, met
death.
1000 Feet Up
This theory was advanced by
Charles Gilbert, on whose farm the
plane crashed from a height of L.
600 feet. He was the only witness
to the accident. The plane was a
mass of wreckage when Gilbert
reached the scene and its two occu-
pants were dead. The plane h41

Titterington. S5 years old. was an
experienced aviator and vice presi-
dent of the Pioneer instrument
company of Brooklyn, N. Y. His
earth inductor compass was used by
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh in his
flight to Paris and since then by
other long distance fliers.
Mrs. Andrews was known as PA
tricia Perry in moving pictures, in
New Britain herald., 1928-07-12

which she played extra parts in
comedies. She was rs years old and
was divorced two years ago from
Fred Andrews. She is survived by a
son. Fred Andrews, Jr.
Learning to Fly
She had been learning to fly for
the last two weeks under Tittering-
toms instruction, but the latter was
in the pilots seat yesterday when
the crash occurred.
In Titterington's pocket were
found two insurance policies for $5,-
900 each in which Mrs. Andrews had
been named as the beneficiary. A
bank book also was found for A
joint account OF Titterington and
Mrs. Andrews.
Mrs. Andrews was a daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Gamble of
Williamsport, Pa. Her father said
she and Titterington had been plan
ming to stop at Williamsport and
Dallas, Tex, on a flight to Califor-
MA.
Held in Morgue
Inc DOuleS OIL lIle Two NlCtllls
were being held in the morgue at
Snyders. near here, today, pending
the arrival Of relatives. The father
OF the Brooklyn inventor was max
ing arrangements to have his sons
body shipped to Dallas. their former
home.
At Curtiss Field pilots said they
had warned Titterington against
take-off due to unfavorable wealth
er conditions and he at first had de-
cided to postpone the flight. After
telephoning Harrisburg, Pa. and
several other points along his route
and learning that the weather was
fairly good. he changed his mind
and took off.
Titterington was one OF three
partners who formed the Pioneer
