Lindbereh Survey
Will Continue for
Indefinite Period
Confidential Report May
Point to Need Of Second
Research Laboratory

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's study
for the Army Air Corps of aero
nautical research facilities of all
kinds in the United States will con-
tinue "for an indefinite period" ac-
cording to a ranking Air Corps
officer.
1t is impossible to estimate how
much longer the study will continue,
1t was said. Col. Lindbergh is ex-
pected to submit a confidential re-
port OF his findings to Mai. Gen.
Henry H. Arnold, chief of the Air
Corps.
Col. Lindbergh now is conducting
his survey upon an inactive duty
status, which can continue indefi-
nltely, 1t was said. His normal active
duty period of two weeks expired
April 20, at which time he went on
inactive status, which carries no
limitation date.
Serves Without Pay.
While on inactive status, Col.
Lindbergh is subject to exactly the
same regulations and bears the
same relationship to the Federal
Government as on active duty, ex-
cept that he serves voluntarily with
out pay. He is required to wear the
UNIFORM on cross-country missions
even though on inactive status. it
was explained.
Col. Lindbergh arrived in WASH
lngton yesterday from Charlotte,
N. c., after visiting research and
aeronautical centers in the South.
He was in conference yesterday
afternoon with Gen. Arnold.
Whether he has started the prepa-
ration of his final report was not
disclosed. nor could it be learned
definitely whether the report will
include recommendations. 1t is as
sumed, however. that the colonel,
because of his experience with
European aeronautical affairs, will
draw conclusions and submit rec
concentrations for the benefit of
the Air Corps. the National Ad-
visory Committee for Aeronautics.
of which he is member, and OF
congressional committees dealing
with aeronautical matters.
May Point Need for Laboratory.
Aeronautical officials are hopeful
that Col Lindbergh's report will
contain arguments which may be
used in another effort to induce
Congress to appropriate funds for
second basic aeronautical re-
search laboratory to supplement
the N. A. c. A. Laboratory at
Langley Field, Va. The House re-
iected an initial appropriation OF
$4,000 900 for this purpose. The
item was inserted by the Senate
on the floor, but was again lost in
conference.
Legislative authorization for the
new laboratory now is being sought,
to be followed by fresh approprl-
alton legislation which will not be
subject to point Of order.

Danzig Ban on Rites
Pi|sudski
Protested by Poles
Free City Says Tension
Made 1t Unwise to
Hold Memorial
4. P. Wirephoto.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
FREE CITY OF DANZIG, May l3.
Poland protested to the Nazi-con-
troled Danzig Senate today against
the Senates order forbidding a me-
mortal service here last night for the
Polish hero Joseph Pilsudski.
The Senate had stopped Poles in
Danzig from assembling to honor
the late marshal on the grounds the
meeting might cause trouble.
Energetic Protest Made.
Polands protest was delivered this
morning by the Polish Commissioner
Marion Chodacki to the president of
the Senate, Arthur Greiser, and was
based on the assertion that the Dam
zig government could not guarantee
the peace" The text was not made
public, but it was said to have been
very energetic"
The Danzig Senate replied to the
protest that no written request had
been made for memorial service
and that it seemed unwise to hold
an open-air meeting in view of the
strained situation. 1t asserted that
meetings in rooms or halls were not
forbidden
Polish newspapers, drawing their
own conclusions from WarsaW's
step, said that if the Senate feels
it cannot be responsible for order,
then the Polish Army ought to be
sent to assure order there.
Solemn Observance in Poland.
All Poland yesterday solemnly OBJ
served the fourth anniversary of
Marshal Pilsudski's death by con-
Quoting memorial services, closing
places of business and having a
three-minute period of silence be-
ginning at 8:45 pm, the hour the
hero died. But in Danzig the an
niversary passed almost without
notice because of the ban.
Nazi quarters said they did not
regard the incident as very serious.

Word, Bonnet Declares

SOUTHAMPTON, England. May
13 (P.-French Foreign Minister
Georges Bonnet declared today
Britain and France would keep
their word and honor their sigma
ture" to pledges holding together
the British French lineup.
M. Bonnet flew from Paris to ad-
dress q luncheon here of the British
Federation of the Alliance Fran
caise.
He strongly emphasized British
French unity and said French Pre-
mier Daladier had stated their
common policy perfectly In de-
claring they refused to submit to
domination but did not bar CO.

disposal. Which is an interesting

disposal. Which Is an interesting
stroke of Diplomacy.
Further support came rather un-
expectedly from poor little Lithu-
ania, whose commander in chief
rushed post-haste to Warsaw to see
what might be done. Three weeks
earlier, Gen. Laidoner, the COM
mander in chief of Estonia, which
is exceedingly friendly to Poland,
was also in Warsaw discussing pos
sibilities.
Baltic Unity Stressed.
In Riga, one of my informants
laid great stress on the necessity
for the Baltic states to coordinate
plans for the actions which they
might be forced to take. IF we
let them attack us separately, we
are lost he said. Imagine the
Lithuanian Army retreating broken
upon Latvia and the effects on our
morale and the confusion which
that would involve. And then be
thrown back on Estonia, with SIM
liar confusion and ruin. Whereas,
all OF us together can mass 20 or
more divisions and be a real help
to the Poles"
The speaker was of the Latvian
minority which refuses to let wish
full thinking hide ominous possi-
bllltles, but this minority is growing,
and the Baltic states are not neg
lecting precautions.
There is the theory in some
quarters outside Poland that Hitler
proposes to let the Danzig question
drop for the time being g-meanwhile
seeking other objectives. For in
stance, in Southeastern Europe.
Hungary. Bulgaria or Yugoslavia.
In the hope that the cost of mobili-
zation and the strain on Polish
nerves will work in his behalf.
That argument is secuted in War
saw, which perhaps has reason to
hope for financial support from
Britain. I should say good reason to
hope unless Col. Beck's hand has
lost its cunning. And. as for Polish
nerves, I have seen no sign of them
yet.
