Miami, Fla, Oct. II P-Col. Charles LindberGh was back in tho states today after completing an aerial exploration of the ruins of an- cient Mayan villages in Central America, whose crumbling walls and tottcring buildings perhaps never before had been seen by white man.
 Leaving Miami 20 days ago in what started as an air mail trail blazing tour, Colonel Lindbcrgh, as Companied by his bride, the former Ann Morrow, has carried out a g. 900 mile survey flight to 70 countries in the West Indies and South and Central America, which he said was one of the most interesting trips he ever hopes to make. They landed here late yesterday after a flight from Cozumol Island, off the McNi- can coast, with Dr. A V. kidder of the Carnegie Institute, who super viscd the exploration flight in Cen tral America.
 Lindbcrsh declined to make much comment on the trip, saying it would be left to scientists of the Carnegie Institute, sponsors Of the aerial cX- plOrations, to make public details Of what had been seen.

 Dr. Kiddcr, who i3 director of the archaeology department of the in stitute, and who has spent consider able time exploring on foot the Mayan ruins in Central America, pointed out that the two most i'm. portant scientific results of tha aerial explorations were the locating and cnumcratinG of the Indian cities and sites never before seen by the white man.
 Dr. Kiddcr said the airplane eX- ploration accomplished as much in 25 hours as it would take q ground expedition five years 10 do.
 The archacoloeists statement de- scribing the explorations follows:

with the procedure regularly followed
in the Army for young pupils after their
first Smash-ups: that is. to get them
into the air again as soon as possible
and thus restore their confidence in
themselves and their machines.
This, It Is pointed out. may have been
exactly what Col. Lindbergh had IN
mind for Anne. 1t Is reasoned also
that Wednesdays picnic flight. with its
nearly disastrous ending. might have
been made with the idea OF acquaintlng
her with some of the rudiments OF
aviation.
1t is assumed that another purpose
OF Yesterdays flight was the advance
ment of aviation by demonstrating that
Wednesdays mishap was forgettable

known to share with her an ardent en-
thusiasm for aviation and its future.

has been given In authoritative sources
that there will be no secret wedding. as
some had suggested might take place
on this second trip to the Morrow coun-
