LINDBERGH'S HOME If you will .turn to page 1506 of the current (1940-41) issue of Whos Who, you will find a very illuminating commentary on Charles A. Lindbergh. As a leading champion of isola- tionism, the prinecipal tenet of the ex-air America First is the symbol and dogma of his political eredo. In his recent Fort Wayne, Ind., speech he declared, “I have no motive in mind other than the welfare of my country and my civilization.” But on page 1596 of Who's Wio| Lindbergh's self-penned Mmplv tells a different story. This is what he says: “Home, Iliece Island, Penvepan, France!

However, there is only one place 1 where China can get the hombers, and so far not even Tom Corcoran who once sat at the right hand of the President, has been able to pry them loose.

LEON HENDERSON'S PANTS ‘A Chicago suspender firm sent Leon Henderson, Price Adminis- trator, a letter and a package. The letter said they had seen a picture 1of him which revealed that he was [in danger of losing his trousers. This, they felt, would be a na- tional disaster. ‘The package contained a pair of suspenders. Shortly afterwards, Henderson took occasion to wear the suspen- ders at a ceremony in his home itown, Millville, N. J, where he dedicated a new airport. He sent a picture of himself, wearing sus- penders, to the Chicago firm, and thanked them for saving his pants. MERRY-GO-ROUND When the OPM was reorganized and the new super SPAB set up to lay down defense production policies, Washington insiders. won- dered how Willlam Knudsen, OPM Director General, would take the change. The big, patriotic Danish- born former auto mogul has taken it by working harder and more zealously than ever before. When particularly tough problems come before SPAB, of which he is 2 member, Knudsen invariably volun- iteers to handle them. “I've got |broad shoulders,” he grins. “I can ‘take a lot of squawking” . . .
