Death of Morrow Expected to
Change Their Plans; Fete at
Shanghai Cancelled by News

SHANGHAI. Oct. 6 Q.N.S) .
Colonel and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh arrived here tonight
on the British airplane carrier
Hermes, having been informed
en- route of the death of Senator
Dwight w. Morrow, Mrs. Lind
bergh's father.
Mrs. bergh received,
through the American Legation
at Peiping, a telegram from her
mother. suggesting that she and
her husband make no change
in their plans.
Both suffering the deepest
personal grief, the Lindberghs
came ashore in a launch from
the Hermes and gave no indica-
tion of their immediate plans,
although there was a belief here
that their visit was, likely to. be
cut short and that they would
return to the United States at
an earlier, date. than they had
originally intended.
All arrangements to welcome
the Lindberghs' to Shanghai and
for their entertainment here
were Cancelled by the civil and
diplomatic authorities as soon as
word of Senator Morrow's death
was received.
A number of messages of con.
dolence were sent to Mrs. Lind
bergh aboard the Hermes by
foreign consuls here and
municipal officials.
The Lindberghs came to Shang-
hal from Hankow, where their air
plane was damaged in the Yang.
tzeKiang River.
The airplane was brought here
on the Hermes and will be re-
paired by Chinese mechanics un-
der supervision of Colonel Lind
bergh.
Met at the pier by Consul Gun
ningham, Mrs. Cunningham, and
other American and Chinese Off
cials, the Lindbergs disembarked
from a motor launch in a pour
ing rain. Mrs. Lindbergh was Wis
IDLY upset, but was bearing up
well and accepted the condolences
of the Cunninghams and others
with deep feeling.
Colonel Lindbergh vent to the
American Consulate to send a
cablegram to the United States.

Lindbergh to Senate?
Here's One Reason
Why faint So

Rumors that Charles A. Lind
bergh, the transatlantic flier,
might be appointed to the Sen
ate from New Jersey to sue
ceed his late father-in-law,
Dwight w. Morrow, were auto
matically dissipated today.
Lindbergh was born Febru-
ary 4, 1902, which makes him
constitutionally ineligible for
the Senate, since the minimum
age limit is 80 years. He would
not be eligible to take his seat
until next February and the
Republicans will have need of
a party man from New Jersey
from the beginning of the new
session in December.

Pangborn, Herndon Win That
Much From Tokyo Paper, But
Texas Prize Proves a Myth

WENATCHEE, Wash, Oct. 8
UN.S0 S0.-While their damaged
monoplane underwent repairs at
the airport, Hugh Herndon, jr.,
and Clyde Pangborn, conquerors
Of the Pacific, today began prep
arations for resumption of their
eastward round-the-world flight.
The transforming aviatOrs, who
accomplished the first Japan-tO-
America nonstop flight, were dis
appointed this morning when
their New York hackers informed
them they we're not eligible, for q
$4,000 prize they had believed
was offered by Col w. e. Easter
wood, jr., for a One-stOp flight
from Japan to Dallas, Tex.
Herndon and Pangborn originally
intended to fly to Texas. But
their plans were cast in doubt
when they were informed that
Colonel Easterwood in Dallas had
denied offering prize for such a
flight this year.
Win Tokyo Prize
It is probable Herndon and
Pangborn shortly will take off for
New York, their point of departure
in their unsuccessful attempt to
lower the round-the-world flight
record.
For being the first in history to
span the waters between japan
and the United States, the air.
men have won a prize of $4,000
offered by a japanese newspaper.
I. Ozakai, Northwestern CORE
spondent of the Tokyo newspaper,
Asahi, said today there was no
doubt the fliers would receive the
prize.
Back to Mother
The airmen today revealed that
low-hanging clouds over eastern
Washington prompted them to
land at Wenatchee instead of pro-
ceeding farther in quest of new
ong-diStance record.
They flew 20 miles beyond this
city when the poor visibility in
spired PangbOrn to tell his part
ner, Lets 60 back to Wenatchee
to sc3 mother"
Mrs. Opal Pangborn, the flier'S
mother, had maintained an all
night vigil at the airport.
Herndon and Pangborn said
they had 100 gallons of gasoline
left and could have Travelled 500
miles farther. Had they done so.
they would have shattered the
long-distance record held by
Boardman and Polando, who flew
nonstop from New York to Is
tanbul.
Saw Land But Twice
I'VE sighted land but twice
during our trip, until we passed
the shore line on the east end
of our Journey" PangbOrn said.
"Once it was a peak which
lOOmed out of the fog in the
Aleutian Islands. The light ON
Vancouver Island was next"
ut was so cold" explained
HerndOn, the water frOZe in our
canteens."
They slept little during the
flight. They we're so cold they
couldn't lie down, they said.
The gas tanks were so cold
they couldn't even sit on them.
They slept about four hours each
during the epic dash.
