Lindbergh—and that is to ask him what he eats on his non-stop flights. Apparently remem- bering the prodding he received after eating only a sandwich and a half on the New York-to-Paris flight. Col. Lind- bergh was on the defensive yesterday when asked what he ate on his way home from Havana. “What has that got to do with it, eway " he asked in the hangar. n at night when the same query s put to him, he reddened and d and then replied 1, I don't see what that's got CITIZENS 0PPOSE -~ SCHOOL LOCATION Takoma Park Body Objects to Macfarland Tract. .

LOUIS, February 14.—Aviation on a commercial basis is practicable and feasible between the United States {and the South and Central American ! countries, sald Col. Charles A. Lind- {bergh on his return here from a good- | will tour of the southern countries. He smilingly refused to say what ef- fect his flight might have on the de- velopment of aviation and the promo- tion of friendly relations between the United States and the southern re- | publics. “I would rather some one else more qualified than I would discuss those things,” he added. Sees No Obstacles. He said he saw no obstacles in flying in the tropics that were any worse than those encountered in the United States, | He spoke highly of the behavior of his plane, saying: i “I think it 1s in almost perfect con- | dition, although it will be overhauled here. Of course. it is not in as good !a condition as when 1 first left with it The manner in which the plane | stood up. he said, seemed to him to be | | proof that planes will stand more use | than most people believe. The plane will eventually be given to the Smith- sonian Institution at Washington. | "“No. I did not carry a parachute on ! the flight,” he replied to another ques- | tion. Parachutes are necessary in mili- | tary maneuvers but not in passenger | transportation, and also “they are of no use on the type of plane I'm flying.” “The Spirit of St. Louis,” he said, “is so constructed that it is possible to land without injury to the pilot or passenger in case of necessity. I believe a para- chute should be carried where it is ad- visable and makes for greater safety, but when the gas tank is in front of |the pilot. he is in little danger of a | forced landing. Would Have Been Killed. “But what would have been the out- -ome,” he was asked, “if you had been forced to land while over the water?” | “I guess the outcome would have been | that I would be dead,” he said, and laughed. | Turning to his planned trip over the | | old air-mail route which he abandoned | exactly one year ago yesterday, to go to San Diego, where the Spirit of St.| Louis was being built, Lindbergh said: “My primary object in going over the old mail route is to stimulate aviation | and interest in it—although I do want | portant. especially as the ground organ- ization is developed.
