Representative Harris B.
Mcdowell, jr., Democrat of
Delaware, has introduced a
bill OH. r. 9906) to provide
for the establishment of a
National Arts Agency in the
United States Office Of Edu-
cation Ito aid In the creation
and understanding of, and
education in, the fine arts"
Mr.. Mcdowell, taking a
leaf out of Secretary Gold
berg's book, asks that "all
writings, including music,
now or hereafter in the pub
lie domain shall be the prop
erty Of the United States as
copyright owner and be used
for the benefit Of the pub
lic," claiming that in this
way more than Sc million
annually could be raised
without a cent of Federal
appropriations.
He explained that under his
bill, "the United States would
collect royalties and utilize
the proceeds in such amounts
and in such manner, includ-
ing holding national student
competitions and festivals in
the Nations capital, as best
to advance art education in
the Nations schools and COL
leges."
1T would give the arts
equality with such credit
courses as science and mod
ern foreign languages, as we'll

programs, automobile me-

Lndbergh 35 Years After Famous Flight Busy Useful Man

Lindbergh is nearly always on the
go, travelling from the company's
executive offices in New York to
various manufacturing plants
across the country as well as to
London, Rome, Beirut, Saigon,
Tokyo.
Has Five Children
He also likes to visit his boys
on the West Coast, Jon, 20 now,
in California; Land, "a, in Wash
ington, the father of brand-new
baby girl. The other three chill
dren live at home: Anne, 81;
Scott, 19; Reeve, 16.
Home, for the past 16 years, has
been a gracious Tudor style
house - high-pitched slate roof,
gray -timbers exposed in
white stucco gables, wrought iron
appointments - on a rugged hill
overlooking Scots Cove, breeze
caressed inlet off Connecticut's
Long Island sound. Over the years
the house has snuggled itself
comfortably into the hill, among
the elm and evergreen and for
sythia, much as a sturdy old dog
finally settles heavily into his ia
vorite spot before the fire.
It is far from the most preten-
tious house in the expensive
neighborhood, but few have as
much charm.
The home is in a private resi-
Dental section of Darien. at typ
ically quiet New England town
whose 18,437 residents are quite
proper, quite polite, not given to

have strange notions about Mr..

One said a caretaker patrols
the house; another that a watch
dog snarls at the gate. Nonsense.
Anyone can drive up the gravel
driveway which the Lindberghs
share with a neighbor, knock on

up with a book on the town
Holyoke. Mass.
Her husband died in World
War II and Mrs. Green landed at
the Pentagon in l947 heading a
team of researchers writing, of all
things, a history of the Army
Ordnance Department.
(She left that job when the
brass tried repeatedly to speed
up the historians.)
For her book on Washington,
She-and several assistants
poured over mountains of reports.
and letters. and old newspapers
and diaries.
She reports there is a super
abundance of stuff" on Washing
ton. But she adds one-particu-
larly a historian-can never be
too sure about the validity of re-
ports from foundations or officials
of one kind or another who
directed the information to a con-
gressional committee which held
the purse strings at the time.
AS she has written in the
forword:
"At times my justifying docu-
mentation resides less in the exact
words than between the lines OF
the materials cited"
1t is an interpretive" history
And as Mrs. Green says, Now and
then my prejudices leak through. "
A married daughter, who lives
in Annapolis. one who also does
research in history. has lectured
her mother on selecting the inter-
pretive approach.
She Said," said Mrs. Green, II

elevators. He stays in hotels when
he's out of town. and when he's
home he putters around the lawn
and goes to the post office and
fishes in the sound and chats
with the neighbors and welcomes
the friends who come to visit his
children.
He doesn't wear dark glasses
or false whiSkers or make any
contrived effort to hide his
identity. He doesn't have to.
Only a handful of photographs
of Mr.. Lindbergh have appeared
in the last 20 years. He studiously
avoids photographers and, as one
OF his close friends explained,
"Slim has developed the knack of
being inconspicuous into a fine
art; he's better at it than any
detective"
And so the man once known
on sight by thousands today, at
80, can stroll the streets
stranger.
Mr.. Lindbergh's cultivated
anonymity gives him deliverance,
at last, from that unrelenting
army of transom peppers he once
had to flee the country to escape.
But more than that, it enables
him to keep his professional life
free from the clutter of banquets,
speeches, award presentations and
such that are the inevitable in
heritance of prominence.
Defense Consultont
He still is a consultant for the
Defense Department, helped Sc
lect the site of the Air Academy
and, according to a Pentagon
spokesman, "has made major con-
tributions to the ballistic missile
program" He also is aviation con-
sultant for the Library of Con-
gresS and has been the go
between in acquiring a number Of
historical documents. II would say
Charles Lindbergh is one of the
most active men if the country" I"
said Marvin w. Mcfarland, chief
of the library'S aeronautics di-
vision.
Mr.. Lindbergh's work for Pan
American World AirwayS has, in
a sense, gone full circle.
He explored the first air routes
from North America to Europe for
the company in 1888, some Of
them still in use today. Later he
helped Pan-Am develop its first
transoceanic clippers. and not
long ago earned part Of the credit
for the company's pioneering
switch to Jet airliners.
