HAVANA, Feb. 11.-Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh today turned his at
teiltiOn toward his ncn-stop fight
to st. Louis and rest and quiet.
Lindbergh has been away from
home many weeks, has visited fif-
teen Latin-American countries and
the return to the United States will
mean liberty from ceremonies, for
malities, functions and state oc-
caSionS rendered him in the last
few weeks.
Shortly after he returns to st.
Louis, he plans to go into the
Michigan woods for a rest.
He has stood u pwen under the
strain. But he feels he needs a
rest, and after the nonstop flight
to st. Louis, which begins Monday
at dawn, he will retire temporarily
from the public admiration.
Lindbergh, although only IS years
of age, handled himself like a vet
eran diplomat, winning the love
and affections of all Latin America
by his simplicity and earnestnesS.
Not once has he faltered. Not once
had he made a mistake that might
have caused official hands to ID
raised in horror.
