Nanafua, Nicaragua. Jan. $ R1 Nicaraguans from peon to president today took delight in honoring Col one4 Charles A. Lindberg. They were amazed above all else at the youth O. the air adventurer.
 Soon after he had seen the Lone Eagle, President Adolfo Diaz said he had no idea he would prove to be so young"
 Many aged Nicaraguans shook hands with the flyer. They were wis ibly affected by the meeting. que 1indo muchacho que joven'- "what fine looking boy and 50 young''-was the general murmur.
 Lindbergh's trip of more than le5 miles from Tegucigalpa. Honduras. was made against head wind. The iyer said that conditions otherwise were perfect and the headwind dld not bother him. Lindbergh did not follow the airline between the two cities, going instead by way of Leon He did this in order 10 avoid any possibility of passing over the terri tory in the northwest where six marines were killed in battle against the rebel General Augustine San- dino.

All idea of revolution and politics was laid aside and one main item on Ltndhergh's program today vas a dinner in his honor by Gener- al Emiliano Chamorra, whom the United States refused to recognize as a presidential aspirant.
 The crowd burst into cheers as the Spirit of St Louis appeared. The shout "There he comes.." was picked up by all the small children who 'scurried about the field or tugged to get away from their parents. Mod ishly gowned senoritas forgot the dust of the sun baked field and their fine clothes as they joined in the sprint to be near the plane when II landed.
 The Spirit of St. Louis landed gracefully. the Nicaraguan band played the Star Spangled Banner and as the familiar cry Of "Niva IAndbergh" rose it was evident that another Central American country bod taken this tall smiling youth arto its heart. "Niyi Los Estadus I-nidos." they cried as Dr. Dana G. Munro. the American charge. greet ed the flyer and presented him 10 officials.

 Even if the after-compartment , were dry when the S-4 went down, 1t was not possible to keep them 50 /, because large number of electric cables. shafts, etc. ran through the !, engine and motor room bulkheads. It was certain these rooms would fill before long.
 We knew that the minimum lift which would start the bow to the surface was at least 300 tons and the actual lift might be considerably greater, depending on the suction effect of the soft bottom. Our only hope then was that if and when div ing could be resumed We could get air tubes and other things to the men in the bow. We knew 1t would take from three to five days of div Ing weather to get lines attached to the S-4 and use the lifting appara- tus which was on the way to the scene"
 | Mtchael's Attempt Vain [ Michaels' attempt to attach an air hose to the compartment salvage system was in vain. the witness said. i because messages from the im- prisoned men said that water had come through when they opened the valve inside. indicating that the line was broken or damaged. Even if the diver had succeeded in attaching the hose. the prisoners would have re- ceived no air.
 1 Planned Boring Hole , Commander Ellsberg said plans to furnish air to the torpedo room in. cluded boring 8 hole through the submarines hull for an air line and listening device. Sealed water tight rubber sleeves containing food, dry clothing. flashlights, water and chemicals for air purification were prepared. these to be passed by divers through torpedo tube, pro- 'viding that the men inside had strength enough to operate the tor pedo tube shutters. which must be done from within. It was learned later that the imprisoned men had used the air from one of the tor pedoes, as the air returned via the air tube from the torpedo room had the distinctive odor of air which has passed through a high pressure charging compressor.
