POLICE AND PUBLIC PRAISED FOR ORDER Elaborate Plans Are Made to Handle Traffic and Crowds Today. The Police Department last night shared honors with the public of ‘Washington and the 75,000 or more visitors for orderliness displayed dur- ing one of the greatest demonstrations in the history of Washington yester- day. ‘Words from high officials came in Jast night according honor to the method whereby the police had per- fected arrangements for handling a crowd running into the hundreds of thousands, and paying tribute also to the law-abiding qualities of the peo- ple who lined the route of march, gathered in the Monument Grounds and swirled about the temporary presidential mansion at Dupont Circle. John Hays Hammond, general cha man of the committee in charge, per- sonally telephoned to Maj. K, 5 Hesse, superintendent of police, his congratulations on the order preserved throughout the whole line of march. There was not a single break of crowds beyond bounds. Mr. Ham- mond, it was said, mentioned in his communication to Maj. Hesse that Lindbergh, had commented warmly upon the efficiency and orderliness of the arrangements during his ride down Pennsylvania avenue. Rockenbach Sends Praise. Gen. 8. D. Rockenbach, commander of the District of Washington, of the United States Army, also communi- cated a warm message of congraula- tion to Maj. Hesse on the clockwork precision which marked the arrange- ments for the parade and the general celebration. Maj. Hesse himself last night passed the honors to the general public and to his assistants, Asst. Supt. of Police Charles A. Evans and In- spector Willlam 8. Shelby, who plan- med and charted the course of the pa- rade, and went into technical and minute detail regarding the system for handling the crowds and traffic. The events regarded as virtually certain for the schedule of Col. Lind- bergh today are the visit to Arlington Natlonal Cemetery and the Flag day exercises at the United States Capitol, with a visit to Walter Reed Hospital as a probability, Elaborate arrangements were made by police for the Flag day exercises at the west front of the Capitol. More than 100 policemen, divided into four groups under captains, will be in charge of the crowds on the approaches to the Capitol. One group will be under Capt. Martin Reilly of the sixth precinet, at the station for section 1, which extends from First and B streets northwest to First and B streets southwest; another group under Capt. C. L. Plemmons of the twelfth precinet being assigned to sta- tion 2, extending from First and B streets southeast to Firat and B streets southwest; the third group, under Capt. William E. Sanford of the fifth precinct, being assigned to station 3, extending from First and B streets southeast to First and B streets north- east, and the last group, under Capt. C. T, Peck, being assigned to station 4, on B street from First street north east and First street northwest, « Inspector Headley in Charge. Inspector A, J. Headley will have general supervision of the details. He will place men at each entrance to the Capitol grounds and post police- men for a block back at each entry. These police guards will inspect the passes and identification cards of per- sons entering the grounds for the eeremonies, Parking of vehicles is to be re- stricted tomorrow on First street from B street northwest to B street southwest on B street from First street northeast to B street northwest; on First street, from B street northeast to B street southeast and on B street from First street southeast to First street southwest. The period of the restriction will start at 1 o’clock this afternoon and end after the cere- monies. Police have been instructéd to keep all vehicular traffic moving from the Capitol Grounds along Delaware ave- nue and B street northeast; New Jer- sey and B street southeast and East Capitol street. The exercises will start at 4:30 o'clock. Previous to this, it is expected the itinerary of Col. Lindbergh will result in crowds thronging to Arlington Cemetery, for which point he is ex- pected to start about 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. THE PRESIDENT: My Fellow Countrymen: nawfined the globe.

Highway Bridge Plans. . Mindful of past traffic jams at the Highway Bridge, positive instructions were issued for a strong detail on Fourteenth street from B street south- w to the south end of the High- ‘way Bridge, ““Whenever any suggestion of traf- fic congestion hecomes apparent,” the order reads, “Capt. Bremmerman of the fourth preeinct, in command, will erder all traffic diverted away from Fourteenth street, so as to re- lieve congestion on approaches to the Highway Bridge and on the bridge, and will permit no interference with or delay of the party and escort.” Capt.” Collins of the seventh pre- cinet is instructed to employ strong details on Key Bridge and its ap. proaches, greatly similar to the ar- rangements at the Highway Bridge. The arrangement of traffic on M street is left discretionary with him. Conditional orders were issued for special details in event that plans ‘were changed overnight. o LINDBERGH DUE TO HOP TO ST. LOUIS ON FRIDAY Becretary of War Davis Will Go to Missouri City for Three- Day Celebration. Secretary of War Davis understands that Lindbergh will fly from New York to St. Louis Friday in his plane, the Bpirit of St. Louis. Secretary Davis will go to St. Louis to participate in the three-day cele- bration for the flyer and will confer upon him there on Sunday a commis- sion as colone! in both th- A'my Alr Roserve and the Missourl National Guard. The celebration in St. Louis will culminate in services at Forest Park Sunday. OFF TO IN\;ITE LINDY. Missouri Governor's Aide and Ad- jutant Go to New York. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., June 11 (®).—Robert Otto, colonel on the per- sonal staff of Gov. Sam A. Baker, and Adjt. Gen. A. V. Adams left at moon today for New York to tender Missouri’s~ official welcome to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. At St. Louis they will be joined by Brig. Gen. William R.

The police, secret service and a whole army of troops notwithstanding, one young woman succeeded yesterday in putting over an unscheduled hand- shake with Lindbergh. As the aviator's ear turned into B street on its way to the Monument grounds Mrs. Alexander W. Burger of St. Petersburg, Fla., darted through the cordon of troops, jumped on the running hoard of the automo- bile and shook hands with him. Then she stepped back quickly into the crowd. . Three of Lindbergh’s backers from St. Louis, Harry H. Knight, Harold M. Bixby and Willlam B. Robertson, were among the first to call upon him at the temporary White House. We are hardly able to offer Col. Lindbergh any, suggestions, . because his ideas are’ always better than ours,” said Knight on leaving the mansion, “It is not possible to come to any decision on Lindbergh's future plans until he has arrived at 8t. Louis, and the situation quiets dow: Knight said that Lindbergh ex- pected to carry out his plan of flying from New York to St. Loufs. Twenty soldier patients from Mount Alto Hospital were afforded an un- usual opportunity to pay tribute to Col. Lindbergh. Supt. George W. Hesse of the Bo- tanic Gardens, who had the soldiers as his guests on a reviewing stand, noti- fied John Hays Hammand, chairman of the reception committee, of their presence there. When the big White House car bearing the hero, his mother and Mr. Hammond arrived at that point, Mr. Hammond directed the chauffeur to drive over close to the curh so that the soldiers could have a good view of Col. Lindbergh. They gave him a rousing cheer. . Half of a ripe watermelon floating in the Potomac just off the Anacostia Naval Air Station attracted Lind- bergh's attention as the Memphis came up the river, and caused the aviator to grin and remark to Admiral Burrage that this was the first fruit of the kind he had seen thig season. T'd like to have a bite of the mate of that,” Lindbergh said, and the ad- miral promised to send him one.

Augmenting in a voluminous fash- ion the already tremendous welcome which was accorded Col. Lindbergh by the citizens of Washington, thousands of persons of all statio of life throughout the United States and even in far-distant spots in Canada yester: day flashed their personal congratula- tions to him here by telegraphic com- munication. When the day was over, reports by officials of the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies showed that the mass of laudatory messages delivered to the flyer came to a total of more than 56,800 separate tele- grams. And Mrs. Lindbergh, mother of the Viking airman, was also remembered in no small way, with more than 1,500 messages of appreciation sent directly to her here. Faces Staggering Task. Col. Lindbergh thus is faced with a more staggering task each day as ad- ditional telegrams are added to the host of messages already recefved, many of which he hopes eventually to answer, Many of the telegrams which flooded to meet him here yesterday were from chambers of commerce, clubs and clvic organizations asking permission to make “Lindy” an hon- orary member of their organizations. While the messages sent via the Postal Telegraph were delivered di rectly to the temporary White House, where Col. Lindbergh and his mother are house guests during their short stay here, the Western Union packed the telegrams they had received for him yesterday morning into a bus and hastened with them to the Navy Yard yesterday noon. Await for Cruiser. When the U. §. 8. Memphis was warped into the dock shortly before 12 o'clock, a representative of the company boarded her to inform Col. Lindbergh of the host of congratula- tions that awaited him and his moth- er. Ten picked messengers of the company at the moment were wait- ing to carry the telegrams to the cruiser, It was decided, however, that the messages should be taken to the tem- porary White House and the loaded bus fell in the line of parade then forming, and, with the United States mail trucks, continued with the Lind- bergh escort up Pennsylvania ave- nue. Actual delivery of the messages was accomplished at the Dupont Cir- cle residence where the Lindberghs ;;"e guests of President and Mrs. Cool- ge. Among the telesrams was one con- taining 17,500 signatures from Min. neapolis. This huge telegram, which was received here over special direct wires on continueus rolls of paper, was 520 feet long. Contains 2,000 Signatures. Another unusual message, from the Frisco Lines Club, contained 2,000 signatures, and still another, from $t, Louis, where Col.

There Wi a continual smile on his face. Occaglonally he would wave his hand at the crowd. Lindbergh was dressed in a blue serge suit—the same in which he had attended the reception by King George in Buckinghdm Palace. His face was bronzed by his week at sea. To the spectators he seemed even more youth- ful and slender than he really is— a boy in every sense of the word. He appeared to flush slightly under his coat of tan when the President pinned the cross on his lapel and the deafen. ing roar arose from the waves of hu- manity whieh billowed over the slopes of the Mounment knoll. Joined by Military Escort. As he came up from the Navy Yard his car was joined by a military es- cort at the foot of Capitol Hill. This was stretched out from the Peace Monument to the Treasury. Each con- tingent of infantry, artillery, engi- neers, sallors, Marines and the Dis- trict of Columbia National Guard, had its own band. The measured march of the troops slowed down the speed and more than 40 minutes was re- quired to cover the 18 blocks. Arrising at the Monument Grounds with his ecavalry escort around his automoblle, Col, Lindbergh found the President awaiting him with Mrs, Coolidge, and several members of the cablnet and their wives. When the slim youth appeared over the top of the stand as he briskly climbed the steps the crowd broke into a roar which continued during the introduc- tion and for several minutes after- ward. Mr. Coolidge was obliged to halt several times In his address by re- newed cheering. A reference to Mrs, Lindbergh brought a wild demonstra- tion, with waving of hats and hand- kerchiefs. The President bowed to her and requested that she stand. She bowed several times to the crowd. At the conclusion of Mr, Coolidge's address the flyer arose amid deafening cheers. Secretary of War Davis handed the cross—the first ever awarded—to the President, who lifted it from its zflulh-nned box and pinned it to the left lapel of Lindbergh’s coat just below the red ribbon of the French Legion of Honor, Crowds Are Insistent. There were more cheers, which sub- sided quickly as the flyer stepped to the microphone for his brief message of international good-will, Then the Army Band struck up a lively air. The President and Mrs. Coolidge and their distinguished guests moved quickly from the plat- form to their waiting cars for the drive to the temporary White House. A good part of the crowd followed them. The constant calls from the multitude at Dupant Circle finally brought Col. Lindbergh out on the balcony with Mr. Coolidge, The crowd roared as the President raised the flyer's hand. After he had re- sponded several times to cheering Lindbergh asked not to be disturbed again for two hours, as he was fatigued after the ceremony, wished an opportunity to talk to his mother in private, and felt the need of rest before the cabinet dinner and the Min- nesota Soclety and National Press Club receptions last night. Aerial Features Spectacular. Because Lindbergh's great achieve- ment was aeronautical and is expected to have a tremendous influence in pro- moting transatlantic air commerce, and because the science of aeronautics s been the case since the firat of congratulatory messages were filed, the dominant tone of the telegrams was praise for the modesty and good sense of the young fiyer in the face of adulation. The religlous note was next in evidence in the mes- sages, thousands of persons inform- ing Lindbergh that they had prayed long and fervently fer his safety and syccess.

Two screened mail wagons, contain. ing 50 sacks of air mail letters, awaited the flyer at the navy yard. The trucks bore signs reading, “Lindy's Mall—Congratulations Sent by Way of Air Mail.” The trucks, with another one full of telegrams, had a place in the parade. The Post Office Department has pre- pared a blue morocco leather album containing the first impression of the Lindbergh air mail stamp. The leather-lunged street urchins received the credit for starting the shout, “We Want Lindy!" that grew to such proportions that the Lone Eagle had further to delay an already late lunch with the President to re- appear before the crowd. When the clamor of the crowd forced the flyer to make a second ap- pearance on the White House balcony all - professional photographers had left and a gray-haired woman with a four-inch camera was the only one to get a picture. “I got a good one that time,” she declared beamingly. A few minutes after Lindbergh had retired one of the White House collies put in an appearance and looked down cautiously at the crowd. The dog re- cefved a cheer. The Washington Boys’ Independent Band, 105 strong, claims the honor of being the first band to salute Col, Lindbergh upon his arrival home. The boys on_the deck of the steamer “Lindbergh Special,” played the “Star Spangled Banner,” as the Memphis passed them off Alexandria. The crew assembled on the deck and stood at attention, presenting an im- posing sight. Thirty-nine States were represented at the tourist camp in Potomac Park yesterday. Although more than 300 cars bearing approximately 1,200 visi- tors were parked in the camp, no ae- cidents were reported and the day passed without mishap. Most of the tourists left their cars in camp and set out afoot to join in the tribute to the hero of the alir. Col, Lindbergh tonight received a gift, rushed 1,340 miles by airplane, from his old home town of Little Falls, Minn.

I wanted to fly in my own plane, but it wouldn’t fit in with the commit- tee's plans in New York, so I agreed. I would like everybody to know how much I appreciate the honor of staying at the temporary White House as the guest of the President and . Coolidge. Everywhe I went in Europe I was the guest of the rep- resentatives of the United States, and now that I am home again I have the advantage while in Washington of visiting the President with all the con- sideration that the Government can afford. Everybody seems to want to speak to me and shake my hand. While that is very pleasant and I'd like to be able to oblige them, I am only a human being, after all, and I'm afraid I would end up in a hospital, suffering from an overdose of kindness, I have recelved literally thousands of messages and letters since I came here. I don't know when I am going to be able to answer all these or how in the world I am ever going to be able to do it. But I want every one to know that they have my thanks for their kindness. They told me that some of my old buddies in the alr malil service were here today to welcome me.

Y., June 11 (#).—In addition to broadcasting the tumultuous reception in Washington of Charles A. Lindhergh for the bene- fit of American listeners-in, the Gen- eral Electric Co.’s radio station here attempted today to girdle the earth with a short-wave transmitter. The entire reception program was is especially dear to him and he pro- poses to make it his life work, the aviation features of his home-coming were spectacular and significant. Not only were there in the sky as a can- opy ever the Memphis as she steamed up Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River the largest number of aircraft of every description ever seen in this part of the world, but the heroes of aviation and those who have the most notable records in flying were invited here to pay particular honor to the transatlantic air pioneer. In_the specia] roped-off section on the President's quay at the Navy Yard, where the Memphis docked, were massed the flying men formerly in the Federal rvice, whether with the Army, Navy, Post Office, Commerce Department, Marine Corps or Ceast Guard. Up through Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River to the Washington Navy Yard a veritable water carpival celebrated the coming of Lindbergh. From the time the fast naval flagship eruiser Memphis, which brought tha returning conquerer from Cherbourg to the homeland, passed Cape Henry, black with people, at 4 o'clock yester- day afternoon, the shore was lined with crowds and big bonfires signaled the progress of the cruiser, Pleasure craft of every description literally swarmed the river, among the mest conspicuous serenaders being Col. Willlam Mitchell, former assistant chief of the Army Air Service, with a band from Vincent B. Costello Post of the American Legion, of which he is commander. Replies to All Greetings. The official escort squadron of eight Coast Guard patrol boats led the Mem- phis in from below Mount Vernon. Comdr, Chester A. Jones on the cutter Apache, off Haines Point, was in com- mand of the policing of the river and Lieut. Comdr. L. Mueller, com- manded the escort squadron. To every greeting, from the largest crowds on the shore and from the smallest craft anchored in the stream, Col. Lindbergh waved his hand in recognition. In six outstanding settings, Wash- ington and its neighbors had a chance to hail the returning fiyer through all of a 12-hour stretoch, First, he stood on the bridge of the Memphis and graclously, but with becoming dignity, saluted in response to the plaudits of enthusiasts on boats along the shore, then at the navy yard and while he was being escorted from the Memphis to join the big military Earada in his honor. One of the most uman-interest incidents of his home- coming was when his mether, Mri Evangeline Lindbergh, was taken board the Memphis on as she docked to be the first to clasp to her bosom her boy who had just jumped into world fame. Crowd Shouts Itself Hoarse. The erowd again had an opportunity to cheer itself hoarse as Lindbergh's escort of the President's Own Troop from Fort Myer, followed by the offi- cial reception committee of cabinet Automatic Gas in 12 hours and 40 minutes flying time was piloted by J.

Factory Distributers members, District Commissioners, Federal officials, leading citizens and of honor, proceeded from tha navy d, through the grounds and down Pennsylvania ave- nue to the- officlal reception b{l the President or‘nu the Washington Monu- ment grounds. Thl‘lhlrd stage of Lindbergh's greeting was when President Cool- idge, in behalf of all the 120,000,000 citizens of the United States, com- mended the youth for having brought back his wonderful achievement, un- sullled by commercialism and him- self unspoiled. The President publicly proclaimed him a colonel in the U. S. Reserve and bestowed the Distinguish- ed Flying Cross, the highest honor for aviation in the gift of the Govern- ment, as symbol of appreciation for what Lindbergh is. Mrs, Lindbergh shared honors with her modest son at this ceremony when the President paid a direct compli- ment to her while lauding Lindbergh the boy, as “representing the best traditions of this country of a stock known for its deeds of adventure and exploration.” Turning graciously to. ward Mrs. Lindbergh, who sat at his right, between Mr: Coolidge and Postmaster General New, the Presi- dent said: “Hig mother, who dowered her son with her own modesty and charm, is with us today. Engaged in the vital profession of achool teaching, she has permitted neither money nor fame to interfere with her fidelity to her dutles.” The many thousand persons congre- gated on the Monument Grounds cheered lustily and Mrs. Coolidge led whe applause in the President's stand .nd sprang to her feet, drawing Mrs. Lindbergh up bedide her so that the throng would have an opportunity to see the proud mother, who graciously howed in acknowledgment. Non more heartily applauded the Presi- dent's tribute than young Lindbergh, who seemed to be especlally pleased at an opportunity to divert attention from himself. Homing Pigeon Released. A plcturesque feature of the exer- cises in the Monument Grounds was the releasing of 48 homing pigeons, one from each of the States, just as Lindbergh was presented and started to make his response to the Pres dent's addre: These birds soared from directly beneath the surprised young orator about to make his first moec’n to his fellow countrymen and flew off to every point of the compass, carrying to each State in the Union a message from Washington that this pride of the American people, the latest entrant in the list of fame, had been signally honored by the Chief Executive on his return to the land of his birth. The fourth opportunity that the en- thusiastic populace had of seeing and cheering the unassuming youth was when the vast throng gathered in front of the temporary White House, 15 Dupont circle, and by their insist- ence and frequent calls of “We want to see you, Lindbergh,” forced him to present himself several times during the late afternoon, as he had so fre- quently done while a guest of Ambas- sador Herrick at the embassy in Paris to satisfy the volatile populace of Paris. This impromptu reception was one especial interest to the crowds which had lined the streets for hours. Following a cabinet dinner, the pub- lic had another opportunity last night at 8:30 o'clock, when thousands of those eager to see Lindbergh close ng and speak to him, stormed the Willars Hotel when he was escorted there by John Hays Hammond, chairman of the executive committee in chary the national ceremonies, for the recep- tion by the home folks from Minne- sota. Hi Lindbergh, carried away by the spirit of the occasion and by the presence of boyhood friends, shook hands with hundreds until he was dis- suaded by an official of the State De- partment. Secretary of State Kellogg, who for more than a half a century has been an honored resident of Min- nesota and who served in Congress with Lindbergh's father, delivered an address of welcome, expressing the sentiments and admiration of the old home folks. Guest of Press Club. The biggest and semi-intimate for. mal receptien in Lindbergh's honor was that of the National Press Club in the Washington Auditorium, which was really the officlal regeption for Government officlals, social leaders and those prominent {n all branches of Capital life. The National Press Club and the official reception committee ‘worked in close co-operation in arrang: ing the program for this important social affair. Here, Secretary of State Kellogg formally presented a portfolio contain- ing all of the official radiograms and cablegrams from the nations of the earth congratulating the United States Government on Lindbergh’s exploit. Postmaster General New presented Lindbergh with the first print of the new air mail stamp which is being struck off in commemoration of his epochal flight. Louis Ludlow, presi- dent of the Press Club, delivered an address of welcome and Richard Oula- han, deanp of the Washington corre- spondents, presented the guest of honor with a parchment scroll ex- pressing the opinion of mare than 8,000 writers of history regarding Lindbergh's feat. Although unaccustomed to public speaking until three weeks ago, when he made his maiden spsech on Le Bourget flylng fleld when he had gracefully glided his monoplane to earth at the end of his 3,610-mile non- Lindbergh,” the young hero o: the air makes a very impres- sive speech, as is testified by those who heard the three public speeches he made here yesterday. One of these was in response to the President at the Washington Menument reception anc the other two at the Minnesota State and Natlonal Press Clu" reeep- tions—all three of which were broad cast to the people everywhere through- out this country and as far overseas as the radio waves might carry. Fireworks Display at Night. Lindbergh's fame was.written in lurid lights against the sky and his lone-eagle flight across the Atlantic visualized in a fireworks display last night that rivaled anything of the surt ever staged on this continent accord- ing to experts in pyrotechni grams. Specla] set features were de- igned for the occasion, many of them rying slogans of praise for the boy Water H aaur;. # whe ploneered the air way to Europs. The most picturesque wds was one showing the Statue of Liberty and the beloved he always speaks of as “‘wr the flight between the two while & beautiful tableau lighted up the Mon- ument Grounds. Extensive day and night programs of fireworks attracted thousands to the Monu; t Grounds, while they were visible also from all over the Dis- trict. Other thousands crowded on the highlands about the Capital to view the spectacle from afar. Balvos of bombs added to the cheers of the crowd at the close of the of- ficlal reception on the Monument Grounds, each bomb as it burst dis- playing small flags and eagles which floated over the crowd and which were eagerly sought as souvenirs. Tells President of Flight. In two extended conversations Col. Lindbergh had with President and Mrs. Coolldge in the temporary White House yesterday afternoon the young aviator devoted most of his discus- sion to a description of his reception abroad. ‘While both the President and Mrs. Coolidge inquired eagerly about his experiences in flying over the ocean, Lindbergh invariably reverted from this story to tell of his welcome in the European countries, particularly in France, where he first landed. Again and again he emphasized to the President, who listened attentive- ly how France, England and Belgium, the countries he visited, felt toward the United States. He described this feeling as “warm and cordial, indeed.” Immediately after luncheon the President spent half an hour in con- versation with Col. Lindbergh and again when he returned from the White House executive office later in the afternoon he called for him. This time Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge spent an hour with Lindbergh and his mother.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 11.—Whik Washington was welcoming Charles A. Lindbergh back to his homeland today, New York was ‘ompleting its plans to give th~ greatest greeting in its history to the young fiver whose fame ‘s still meéasured by but one leaf of a monthly calendar. It was just one month axo today that newspapers carried dispatches from St. Louls telling of a young air mail pilot who had flown in one hop from San Diego, who intended to fly to New York the next day, and who then thought he would jump across y the Atlantic. The populat reaction was a sort of jocose surprise. “Who is this fel- low Lindbergh? was the common question. *Never heard of him be- fore.” Considered as Joke. And w'th Richard Byrd, whom all the world knew for his flight across the North Pole, and Clarence Cham- berlin, who h: recently broken the world duration flight record, already preparing for a transatlantic flight, the plans of this young fellow from the West were taken none too se- riously But that was a month ago. Today not a person in the civilized world but knows who Lindbergh is, what he has done, what he looks like; not one hut would cherish the honor of grasping his hand or even of watching him zo by along his path of glory. So great is this desire to see if not actually to touch the hero of the day that 8.000 police will guard the line of march on Monday, 3,500 more than it has ever hefore been thought nec- essary to utllize. And the police will be augmented by soldiers and sailors placed about the flyer so elosely that it is hoped they may hold back the crowds of enthusiastic ad- mirers. Not only will there he 8,000 police, byt by a system of “subway dodging,” tl 8.000 will be enabled to do the work of more than twice that num- the procession from the PBattery to City Hall and then to Central Park progresses, the policemen left hehind along the route will be rushed for- ward by special subway trains so that they may augment their comrades up ahead. March Up Broadway. Lindbergh is expected to alight in the amphibian plana in which he is to fly from Washington at 10 o'clock in the morning at quarantinc. There he will be picked up by the city tug Macom and brought to the Battery. Thence the procession will wind up Broadway through the marrow can- von of the financial district to City Hall, where Mayor Walker and other officials will greet the fi er. In the afternoon Gov, Smith will welcome him in Central Park, after a procession up Fifth avenue, and add another medal to the collection which has become so numerous. In the evenins Lindbergh and his mother will be guests of honor at a small reception at the Long Island home of Clarence Mackay, not many miles from the flying field v hence he ’I,I.;": txt‘!l!;gn‘o o;cr 'fll.
