 Then a newspaper storm broke A Russian paper attacked Lindbergh as "lackey of German Fascists and their aristocratic British pa- trons." A French aviation weekly called him pro-German and no friend of France. An English paper dubbed him "Europes busybody,' and declared that he never failed to voice glowing admiration for Hitler and Nazi Germany.
 The storm had hardly died down when another English paper de- clared that Lindbergh was preparing to become British citizen and ali unofficial agent of the British government rather like Lawrence of Arabia"

In a confidential memorandum to Am- erican officials, he reported that German mass aircraft production was at point where it could be- come a formidable competitor of the United States in the production of commercial aircraft. He also credit ed Germany with having the worlds greatest military air fleet.

Indians are executing a war dance by
the positions they are shown in, she
said The Indians are typed as plains
