| AnHe OpeHCeT mOTIOW, uduSnlCI
of the United States ambassador to
Mexico, are engaged to be married.
Tonight the young couple in two
different foreign capitals, one in
Mexico City and the other in Ha-
vana, received the Fluctuations of
friends.
The announcement by Ambassa-
dor Dwight w. Morrow came at a
time when precautionary inquiries
were being made for the aviator,
then hours overdue on his flight
from Belize, British Honduras, to
Havana. He>later appeared with
the simple explanation that takeoff
difficulties at Cozumel island and
side surveys were the causes of his
delay.
With his usual reserve toward his
private affairs, the Colonel told
newspapermen in Havana: 81 will
confine all my remarks to avia-
tion."
Miss Morrow, who is % years old
and Smith college graduate, ar.
rived in Mexico City today with
her mother, coming from the Unit
ed States where they had visited
the Lindberg museum in st. Louis
enroute. 1t was earned authorize
lively in Mexico City that the mar
riage will take place in May or
June.
1t is possible that the ambassa-
dor and his family will go to New
York for a visit IN the early spring
+ in which event the wedding might
be held at their home in Engle-
wood, N. j., or in New York City,
across the Hudson river. Other
wise, Lindbergh will come to Mex
leo City, and would undoubtedly
fly here.
Anne, like her father and fam
lily, is a member of the Presbyter-
ian church. Ambassador Marrow
in Mexico City attends the Union
church which includes all Protes-
tant denominations. Miss Nor
row and Colonel Lindbergh have
not yet decided what denominations
al minister will perform the cere-
mony.
Late this afternoon, Ambassador
Morrow summoned the newspaper
correspondents and handed them q
formal typewriter statement. 1t
read: Ambassador and Mrs. Nor
row have announced the engage
ment of their daughter, Anne
Spencer Morrow, to Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh."
The ambassador was smiling and
seemed highly pleased as he made
the announcements. He said that
no definite plans have yet been
determined on. There was i'm
mediate speculation as to whether
the colonel might fly to Mexico
City as soon as he completes his
airmail flight.
Anne and her mother arrived in
Mexico City shortly before naon
today from LAREDO, Texas. They
were seventeen hours lat because
of the interruption of traffic caus-
ed by the Sunday night bombing
of the train of President Portes
Gil. The bridge destroyed by the
dynamiters has not been replaced
and all passenge4r have to change
trains at that point.
When Lindbergh took off from
Valbuena field here last November
for the United States, he gave a
beautiful aerial salute to Anne. She
was at the field with her family to
watch him start.
AS soon as he mad climbed to a
little height he circled over the
field and then dipped low over the
head of Anne. Persons who wit.
messed this recalled it today as g
significant farewell message from
the AVIATOR to his fiance, although
only the principals suspected it al
the time.
The young couple first met wher
Colonel Lindbergh made his famous
nonstop flight from Washington tt
Mexico City, little more than {
year ago.
| Since that time, Colonel Lind
bergh has been the guest of tht
Morrow family in Mexico City ant
at their country home at Cuerna
vaca.
| The Mexican capital suspected
that a romance was in the offin.
between the colonel, who has beef
the idol of feminine hearts since h,
| flew to Paris, and Miss Morrow
Rumors to that effect had beef
printed in local papers last Novem
Der, but at that time were denied

4 Charles A. Lindbehgh, on his ar
rival today, was quite ready t
discuss all details of his f1igh
but when reporters attempted t.
. learn plans for marrying Mis-
Anne Spencer Morrow, it was an
other story.
J, 81 will confne all my remark
, to aviation" the colonel said.
