for his autograph.

shake of the intruder when he recog-
nized the smiling face Of the man who
brought down % allied planes during
the war.
Furtively Lindbergh took the pad
preferred by Udet, scribbled the name
with his right hand and held the left
hand over the paper to hide it.
Then, just as furtively, he slipped 1t
back to Udet.
IT know he dislikes to give auto
graphs" Udet commented, but he
could hardly refuse his buddy"
other guests who tried to seize the
moment to get autographs were firmly
turned down.

fuehrer Hitler and the air minister was
definitely set for July 80.
