COLUMBUS, Ohio. Aug. 1O.--
Quietly, and with no advance mo-
tice OF his coming, Col. Charles Al.
Lindbergh swooped out Of the skies
from the East here last night and
today was comforting with Kline
Roberts, secretary of the Columbus
Air Board, concerning prospective
Ohio airport sites.
Lindbergh landed here at $50
b. M. in his Ryan nonopIane. q
replica OF the famous Spirit of st.
Louis, /" and was immediately
whisked away to the Columbus
Country Club where he dined with
Leon Morris. manager Of the Ma
tional Cash Register Company, and
Lieut.. Frank Mckee. commander OF
Norton Field, Columbus airport.
An amusing feature of the fly
ing colonels' visit was the exodus
OF caddies from the caddy house at
the country club to the sacred pre-
cincts of the club house. Ordinarily,
the caddies are kept within the
boundaries of the caddy house, but
their idolatry of Lindbergh caused
them to throw discretion aside and
troop to the club house where, with
noses flattened against the windows,
they awesomely watched the Lone
Eagle" stow away hearty dinner
"jest the same as any other man,
one ragged caddy disappointedly re-
marked.

REPLY FROM
STRAT0N
~ international News service


NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-Dr. John
Roach straton's letter to Gov. Al.
Smith, accepting the 1atter's chal-
Ienge to debate the charge made by
DR.. Straton last Sunday before his
congregation in Calvary Baptist
Church that the Governor was the
'.deadliest foe today in America Of
moral progress and true political
wisdom, . should be received at the
Governors office today.
DR.. Straton IN his letter continued
70 maintain his position DISABLING
Governor Smiths record. He in
sisted that the debate be held in an
auditorium larger than Calvary Bap-
fist Church, in order to accommo-
date the large crowd that would
wish to hear 1t.
Pastors Plan
The clergyman suggested that
Madison Square Garden be obtained
and that 5000 seats be apportioned
to members Of Calvary Church, 5000
to members OF St. PafFicIx's Cathedral
and the 10000 remaining be divided
equally between the Republican and
Democratic national committees.
DR.. Straton had told reporters
that he would insist that the debate
be continued in st. Patrick's Ca
thedral after it had been held in
Calvary. However in his formal
letter OF acceptance. DR.. Straron did
not insist upon this arrangement,
but did make HE suggestion Tor the
division OF seats between the two
congregations.
StratOn Determined
II Is understood that the sugges-
aion Of DR.. Straton for debate in
Sc. Patrick's Cathedral would be re-
dected by the governor as the cathe-
draI does not permit discussion Of
secular topics IN its pulpit.
The governor is insistent upon an. |
bwering the charges before the same
persons who heard them made and
also in the same place.
DR.. Straton said IN his letter that /
the debate would be arranged even |
IL 1T is to be In Central Park. and
at the time suggested, some time in
the week Of September 2. He added
that he hoped It might be arranged
for September or s.
