airplane. "There would be no point to 1t, except to say that he had flown" !" Lindbergh told Q visitor. Tt would be safe enough, but he wouldn't be able to appreciate 1t so soon."
 The visitor suggested Lindbergh probably would want to be the one to teach his son to fly, just as he had taught his wife.
 Maybe he'll want someone more up to date by that time," the flyer said, and chuckled.
 The Lindbergh's have made every effort to keep their son away from the influence of the unpar- alleled publicity that followed his father.
 He was quiet child, not at all nervous. A visitor to the home re- ported the following incident.
 "I noticed that the radio was playing 6 rather loud orchestra composition, and began to won- der that 1t did not awaken the the baby who was sleeping up- stairs" he said. "But they told mo Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr, is not Q nervous child.
 "Though the Lindberghs are justly proud of their Son, he is not likely to be spoiled by the 'ohing' and 'ahing' that might be expected. He leads a normal and quiet Mfe-- so quiet that a visitor might forget for Q while that there was child in the house."
 Mrs Lindbergh showed she did not expect to "spoil' her son with over-attention when she took an aerial vacation trip to the Orient with her husband last summer. The baby was left in charge of nurses at the Morrow summer estate at North Haven, Me.

 Col Lindbergh, worn by the anx- side by side with the state police. During the night he helped to trace down tracks on his property in the fastnesses of the Sourland mountains. During the forenoon, he went on Q mysterious errand with Lieut. John Keaton of the New Jersey state police. They sped away In Q fast car, and came back q couple of hours later on foot through the woods. Rumor had 1t that they had visited Flagtown where group of suspected boot ieggers were believed to be.
 Meantime, Mrs Lindbergh, deep- ly stirred, bore up with the cour- age of Spartan mother.
 The first word prostrated her, but 1t was not long before she was exhibiting the same courage as her husband, and she helped authori- t!es. once she joined the search- CTS for Q short period.
 Her burden was all the greater for she had been nursing the child several days because of cold. And the kidnapers without even trying to catch up some quits, dragged tho baby off, clad only in Gts, agInn,anro't NInpanuar Mra fn1- bergh Is again an expectant moth- or.

HOME OF FAMOUS
 COUPLE WAS ONE
 OF REAL PRIVACY

Hopewell, N. J., March 2-(UP) The Lindbergh home from which the worlds most famous baby was kidnapped, was built on g site se- lected "from the air" by Colonel and Mrs Lindbergh. we flew over a great deal of territory before we finally selected the ground where we are building" the colonel said while the house was under con- struction. "Both Mrs LSndbergh and I decided this site would be ideal for us."
 The home is on e high ridge covered by part of the 400-acre plot. It looks down on a wide. rolling valley. A winding road leads through the trees to the pub lie road. The site for a landing field nearby was selected person. ally by the colonel. It is about 1500 feet long, and 600 feet wide. The two planned to keep their small sports plane at the field ready for immediate use at any time, and keep their larger plane in New York. The landing field Is within 10 miles of the air-bea- coned air mail passenger routes between New York and Washing ton.

 Commenting on Kidnapping legis- lation in congress Mitchell said:
 "There are bills pending on con- gress to make the transportation of Kidnapped persons across state lines e federal oftense. Because of bud- get limitations and recent reduce tons in appropriations for the de- tective forces of the department I have not felt able to recommend such legislation, but I have no ob- lection to such Q measure if con- gress desires to pass it."
 The Kidnapping bills were intro- duced by Senator Patterson, repub. iican, Mo, and Representative Cochran, democrat, Mo.
 Chairman Summers of the house Judiciary committee announced he would ask permission of the house for his committee to sit during the house session this afternoon to take up and act upon the Cochran bill.

Mrs Lindbergh told Mrs Morrow at Englewood, according to Will Hanson who said Mrs Lindbergh subsequently commented.
 "Yes, and 1t probably would have happened even if we were at that the kidnapping had been done mother's."
 Williamson expressed the opinion by professionals determined to get the child at any cost.
 Colonel Lindbergh with two state troops and two trappers fa- miliar with the countryside left the estate in Q fast car before 8 Q. m. without revealing where they were bound.
 The car speeded off at a great speed, outdistancing cars that sought to follow.
 Before departing, Lindbergh made 1t clear he did not desire to be photographed. He advised that if attempts to take pictures were made, he would have to ask the press delegation to leave. He said, however, that he desired to co- operate with 1t keeping 1t informed of progress.
 began 0 systematic search of the entire district surrounding tho Lindbergh estate, hopeful of ind ing more footprints, or other traces of the kidnapers.
 A blue and white blanket, sim- liar to the one in which the child was wrapped when 1t was taken from the crib, was reported found on Q highway near Hopeswell. Po- lice could not confirm this report.
 Some time after his departure state police said Lindbergh planned to go to Princeton airport where he would take a plane and fly over the Neshaminy valley where a number of bootleggers arc reported to have their headquar- ters.
 Subsequently 1t was learned that Lindbergh, who has assumed com mand of the search, had friend go aloft in an airplane and scout the entire territory surrounding the Lindbergh estate. The friend photographed the area from vari- ous angles, the photographs to be used in the search.
 Colonel Lindbergh has taken personal charge of the vast search for the kidnappers and 1t was un- derstood he was attempting per sonally to negotiate directly with the kidnappers.
 While Mrs Lindbergh looked on from the nursery window, state po- lice started reconstructing the kid naping as they believed 1t had been carried out.
 They joined the three sections of the ladder and lifted it to the nurs- cry window, where Mrs Lindbergh stood. She was pale and her face was drawn. She wore a dark frock'
 After placing the ladder the po- lice searched the window sill for finger prints and made photo- graphs of the complete layout.

naper to the nursery on the sec- ond floor. The man may have made friends earlier with the anil nal.
 The kidnapers' -isit was well timed. The baby had been tucked into bed, and Mrs Lindbergh had kissed him goodnight at about 7:3O. Later in the evening, the nursemaid, Betty Cow, was start lec to find the crib empty and the child nowhere to be found. She gave the alarm, and then the au- thorities were summoned. But by this time the kidnappers had a good start.
 {. The ladder the kidnapper used yielded little help. Evidently he had been gloved, and his feet either were stockinged or his shoes covered to blur the shoe- print.
 The ladder had cracked, as he came down, and there Is a chance he fell, injuring himself and the child.
 His tracks led out of the estate toward the main road, where a woman's footprints appeared. This gave the clue that the kidnapers had 0 woman accomplice, who should watch over the baby until such time as they could bargain fer their ransom.
 A chisel was found in the woods near the house, but there was nothing to link that definitely to the crime.
 workmen who had helped to re- b!uld the natural rock house on the mountainside were checked over to see if they had knowledge of any providers, but so far as po- lice revealed there was nothing yielded. All the present and past employees were said to have been eXonerated.
 Beside the press and photogra- phers, there came scores of autos with the curious, and these jam med the roads nearby for several miles. The milkman arrived at 10:30 Q. m. evidently unaware of tke Kidnapping and delivered four quarts of milk and two pints of oream--most of which was for the little baby.
 Tn the meantime, Lindbergh was keeping his own counsel except for brief combinations of the kid- naping.
 He was ready to contact the kid papers and was trying to get in di- rect touch with them, and was ready to pay the ransom if he could have his son back safely.
 But, there was no positive sign that he would be able to make such contact.

 In black jacket and golf cap, he helped police search the prem- ises. Clues were scanty.
 The police knew only that the intruder had used ladder. put up in sections; had scaled into the nursery; and there left & note-- presumably ransom demand, though they would not say; and then had scrambled down the lad der, to Q point down "Feathered Lane toward the main highway.
 On this path. according to foot prints, the kidnaper was joined by woman accomplice.
 The spot where the Kidnapping occurred Is remote, situated up a rocky roadway off Q main thor oughfare.
 A stolen auto, found abandoned near Hillside, N. J., furnished the police possible clue, for the car, a blue Nash sedan resembling one In which two men early last even- ing inquired at Princeton the way to the secluded Lindbergh estate. False scents were followed. but up to early forenoon the police worked up blind alleys.
 Lindbergh, keeping the boise which has marked his path since the day he leaped to fame by his Paris ocean flight, aided the police. His wife, the daughter of the late Senator Dwight Morrow and com- panion of the colonel on a venture some flight to the Orient last year, pulled herself together remarkably after her first prostration, and then gave police help, too.
 Deputy Police Chief Charles D.. Williamson told today of reaching the Lindbergh home soon after the call for help went out. Picking up Chief Harry Wolf, he hastened to the Lindbergh home. There Col Lindbergh told him of the even- ing's events, as far as he knew them.
 The colonel, Williamson said, told him he had heard no noise except the wind whistling across the rocky road.
 williamson found that no bed clothes had been taken. and this only accentuated the distress of Mrs Lindbergh who had been con- cerned for the baby's health.
 While the officers were there. the Lindberghs advised their mothers of the tragedy.
