new deluge of threats, which havt become more numerous as the da, of Hauptmann's execution ap' breaches. They had become con cerned not only for their sons i'm mediate safety, but feared that ir this country he never would b' able to grow up normally.
 The Lindberghs apparently lonl had discussed moving from thi country, but one recent inciden particularly decided them to wait nt longer, it was indicated.
 Picture Taken of Boy
 The three-year-old boy, Jon, wa being driven home from nursery school by maid when 8 large auto. ! mobile containing several mer crowded their car to a stop at tn, curb. They jumped out of the cal with cameras, swiftly took picture. of the child and raced away.
 The terrified nurse and child went on home unmolested, but Jon wal not sent to school any more after that.
 Preparations for the departure fol England were made with the great est of secrecy. Col. Lindbergh him. self obtained the passports ir Washington 8 week ago. His friend ship with high officials enabled him to do SO without anyone becoming aware of his mission.
 Again with utmost secrecy, ar. arrangements were made with 6 steamship company for the Lind. berghs' exclusive passenger occu. pancy of the ship. Of1icialS of thu British as well as the United States government, it was said, cooperatec to assist the secret departure.
 Nothing Was Disclosed
 Neither the name of the ship nor the port from which it sailed were disclosed. On the sailing day, the Lindberghs went directly from Englewood to the port. No servants accompanied them and only few members of the family.
 The Lindberghs do not intend to give up their American citizenship, but are prepared to remain in Eng land permanently if necessary to assure their son the normal life that he should have.
 Reluctantly, they concluded that so long as they remained in this country their household would be surrounded by an atmosphere of fear which the child could not help SenSing.'
 The precautions necessary for his safety, they felt, would make 1t im- possible ever for him to have the freedom which 8 healthy, growing boy needs. As he became older, the problem of his schooling would become increasingly difficult.
 Could Not Ignore Threats
 Most of the threats which kept the Lindberghs in constant anxiety were the work of cranks, but they could not be ignored. Always there hung over them the memory that their first born had been kidnapped and murdered.
 The Lindberghs chose England for their abode, it was said, because they felt that there they would be safest and least molested, that there the people had greater respect for law than any other place in the world.
 While their primary concern is for the safety and freedom of their own, Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh also desired peace and privacy for them- selves-peace and quiet that never has been theirs. Mrs. Lindbergh has been able to continue her writ- ing, notably her best selling account of the flight which she made to the Orient with her husband, and Lind- bergh has done some valuable re- search work on scientific and avia- tion problems. But the atmosphere of uncertainty and worry always hung over them.
 Settle Down in England
 When they have settled down somewhere in England, they hope to be able to pursue their interests tranquilly.
 What further work in aviation may be planned by Lindbergh could not be learned. It was said that he had not severed completely his con- nections with air lines which he has assisted as technical adviser, but for some time he has not been active in their companies or in other aviation work.
 Threatened for Years
 The safety of Lindbergh and his family has been threatened, by let- ter and otherwise, almost since the day in 1927 when the lean flyer from the west astounded the world by flying solo from New York to Paris.
 With fame came thousands of letters, mostly innocent, but many menacing. Mostly, of course, they were the work of deranged minds and were dismissed by Lindbergh as such. Each incident that brought him back into the headlines, such as his engagement and marriage to Anne Morrow in 1929, brought with it new threats.
 Then in 1881 Lindbergh chose the isolated Sourlands Mountain sec- ton of New Jersey for his home. He had spotted i1 from the air as Q
