BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, February 13-MeXi-
cans hoped today that Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh and Miss Anne Morrow,
daughter of Ambassador Dwight w.
Morrow, would be married in this coun-
try's capital. 1t was here that the ro-
nance of the famous aviator and the
heiress began.
The following statement was issued at
the American embassy last evening:
Ambassador and Mrs. Morrow have
announced the engagement of their
daughter, Anne Spencer Morrow, to Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh."
Efforts to have the Ambassador elab-
crate on the statement were unavailing
He was asked as to probable time and
place of the marriage, but persisted in
smiling silence, broken only finally
with the remark:
"All you can say on such points is
mere guesswork. I think your guess
will be good if you say the time is not
yet fixed
News of the engagement-which had
been often rumored-spread quickly over
the city and everywhere it was presumed
that the wedding would take place in
this capital May or June was given in
usually authoritative sources as tho
time.
Gales Is Pleased.
Former President Gales, who well
coined Col. Lindbergh at valbuena Field
at the completion of his goodwill flight
from Washington that endeared him to
Mexicans, said: This is great pleasure
to me- AS you know am very fond of
both these young people. As Mexico
has been the scene of their romance,
sincerely hope they will be married in
this country.
Certainly their own people cannot
hold them nearer their hearts and wish
them more happiness than we Mexicans.
These two families and these two young
people are very dear to us. They have
our best wishes for, and know they will
have, happy married life"
Sonora Ernestina Gales Robinson,
daughter of the ex-President and friend
of Miss Morrow, was especially happy
over the engagement. II told you So"
she remarked.
Miss Morrow, who arrived with her
mother yesterday from the United
States, after a 17-hour delay at the
scene of the dynamiting of the presi-
dental special Sunday in Guanajuato,
was extended fluctuations by small
group of intimateS who dined at the
embassy last night.
En- route to Mexico City, Miss Morrow
and her mother stopped at St Louis
and, after special arrangements had
been made, visited the collection of
Lindbergh air trophies there. The
aviator's f1ancee appeared particularly
interested in the souvenirs and trophies
of his Latin American flights.
Two Visitors Expected.
In view of the announcement of the
engagement, Mexicans look for two
visits shortly-one from Col Lindbergh
himself and the other from his mother,
Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh. Mrs. Lind
bergh left Constantinople few days
ago. where she taught chemistry in the
American College for the United States.
It is presumed that her somewhat early
return was made in view of her sons
approaching marriage.
Both Mrs. Lindbergh and her son
are widely known in Mexico, she having
flown to this capital as guest of the
Morrows in December, 1927, when her
son was here after completion of his
fight from Washington. Col. Lind
bergh during his stay received recep-
ton probably surprising that ever be-
| fore accorded an American in Mexico.
The welcome of his mother was hardly
less.
To Col. Lindbergh the credit is given
| for the advance in Mexican aviation,
which thus far has developed number
| of aviators of Spanish-American re-
| nown, notable among them the late
| Capt. Emilio Carranza and Lieut.. Col
/ Roberto Fierro.
| Miss Morrow is known to Mexicans as
| quiet, home loving girl of %, who
| has spent much of her time here
since graduation from Smith College
Northampton, Mass, last year. She Is
a brunette and pretty and has broad
/ interest in aviation and world affairs
generally. Her character and Interests
are said to be such as will best round
out the hitherto one-sided life OF her
fiance.
She is five years younger than Col
