By LORENA A. HICKOK (A. P. Staff Writer) NEW YORK, June 4—One year ago on May 27, in the living room of her parents’ home in Englewood, N. J, Anne Morrow became the bride of the world’s foremost bird- man, Charles A. Lindbergh. She wore a simple white frock fashion- ed by the village dressmaker who had made her clothes since she was a little girl, and she carried a bou~ quet of garden flowers picked by her future husband just a few minutes before the ceremony. Since that day the quiet and un- assuming young woman, remem- bered by her college classmates as ’studious, dreamy, and so shy that even as a senior, she suffered when {she had to get up before a class and recite, has: Learned how to fly and navigate an airplane.

Mrs. Lindbergh operated the camera and, when she was not busy with that, served meals in the air to her husband and the scien- tists. Back in New York by the middle of October, Mrs. Lindbergh took some more flying lessons and later in the month recelved her pilot’s license, stopping at Nassau en route from the field after one of her solo flights to get another license bile, too. Two days after Christmas they were off again—to the Pacific coast. Another Solo Flight Jan. 27 Mrs. Lindbergh made a board. Attend Guggenheim Tests On June 20, back from their cruise, they appeared at Mitche! Field, for the beginning of the final tests in the Guggenheim safe aircraft competition, and Mrs. Lindbergh went up with the colonel for a short flight. Their next flight carried them across the country in Colonel Lind- bergh's blue and orange biplane, on an inspection trip of the T. A. T. route. They returned from this trip July 30, ground-looped as they landed at Newark, ant a week later ‘hopped down to Washington to be guests at President Hoover's week- end birthday celebration at his she and her husband on Easter Sunday set a new transcontinental flight record. Flies 30,000 Miles In all, Anne Morrow Lindbergh has flown nearly 30,000 miles in these last 12 months. That in- cludes: Two flights to Los Angeles and return. One 7,000-mile jaunt down over the Mayan jungles and all around the Caribbean Sea. A trip to the Cleveland air races and return. A trip up to Maine and back late last summer after the air races. A swift race as far west as Wich- ita, Kas., to hunt for the lost T. | A. T. transport City of San Fran- cisco. Innumerable short hops. - Practically all of this flying has summer camp on the Rapidan river. On their return, Mrs. Lindbergh started learning to fly from the Aviation Country Club at Hicks- ville, Long Island. Aug. 23, after nine hours’ instruotion, she made her first solo flight, while from the ground “The Lone Eagle” wat¢hed, ‘anxiously at first and then with a pleased grin. Fly Up to Maine Next they hopped out to Cleve- land for the air races, returning just in time to borrow a fast ship and speed out to Wichita to help in the hunt for the City of San Fran-| cisco.

And Anne Morrow, then a little college girl, quiet and shy, with a penchant for writing poetry, undoubtedly read about it in the papers up at Northampton, Mass. Two years ago last month, she enjoyed a triumph of her own—a triumph that would seem much more in her line than breaking aviation records. She was a senior at Smith College then, and she was awarded two prizes for scholar- ship and literary achievement. One year ago last month—Anne Morrow, the poet, laid aside her books and papers and became Anne Morrow Lindbergh, one of Ameri- ca’s better known women fliers. |Tariff Bill Signing Considered by Hoover WASHINGTON, June 4—Presi- dent Hoover was said at the White Haven, Me.
