i THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C. THURSDAY. MAY o - 1929. e e — FROM MUD EPISODE Flyer More Careful of Keep- ing Public Good Will Since D. C. Criticism. BY LEMEUL F. PARTON. Bpecial Dispatch to The S NEW YORK, May 2—Those who ob- served Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's latest arrivel in Washington and his appear- | ance before a joint committee of Con- | gree this week have commented on the | apparent lessening of his old aloofness | and signs of a new public behavior al- most affable. The explanation is at hand here to- day, with the story of an unfortunate mud-splashing episode in Washington. In making a landing at Bolling Field the young colonel had the misfortune to spatter mud on some of the by: standers. As usual, he was pre-occupied ! with his airplane and the afternoon’s work and it was not until a day or two later, when he was informed by his | friends, that he learned that certain | persons in Washington had selzed on | the incident as a social contretemps and | there was considerable buzzing and | ring regarding it. is known to have caused Col. | Lindbergh considerabe distress, and in conversation with his social and busi- | ness intimates he assured them that it was only his concentration on his plane which prevented him from noticing what had happened and offering apol- ogies. There was a general discussion ¢ of Col. Lindbergh's attitude in meeting | the public, and when he flew to Wash- ington to appear before Congress this | week, it was with the assurance that he would be regardful of situations pos- sibly requiring some unbending on his part. ar. Reserve Is Innate. ‘There has been no intimation that Col. Lindbergh has been deliberately ungracious in his contacts with the public. On_ the contrary, it was his personal behavior which immediately strengthened and made unbreakable his hold on the American public after his historic flight. His innate reserve is so genuine that he did not adapt himself readily to demands of the crowd which swarmed in upon him and he is so deeply and thoroughly immersed in air- planes, their whims, temperaments and dispositions that the gaping and wor- shipful multitudes appeared vaguely as possible obstructions to landings and take offs, somewhat intrusive perhaps, and usually in the way. The press of the country has under- stood that Col. Lindbergh has been compelled to ward off intrusion and has commended his refusal to lend himself to the sensational exploitation which usually seizes our national heroes. In this he fared much better than Gene ‘Tunney, who has not hesitated to ex- press his contempt for newspaper men as typifying the public onslaughts which a man of eminence has to resist. Mr. Tunney has received a few short- arm jabs in return. The only unpleasant criticism launched against Col. Lindbergh came from Gene E. Howe, editor of the Amarillo, ‘Tex., News and son of Ed Howe, the Kansas philosopher. Mr. Howe rather intemperately denounced the young col- onel for his flinty resistance to public blandishment. This criticism caused some little stir around the country, with Mr, Howe receiving small support, and there was no indication that Col. Lindbergh ever heard of it. He is not an _intent newspaper reader, his spe- a\]alt.y being airplanes and how to fly em. Hears of Episode Here. But it happened that among the splashees in Washington there were persons whose names, while having nothing to do with airplanes, carriea even into the Lindbergh consciousness. ‘The colonel, always impelled by his na- tive courtesy and good will, was anxious to make amends. There were frank discussions, and it is understood that from now on Col.. Lindbergh will be as intent as possible on the amenities of public contacts, without laying him- self open to that devouring intrusion ‘which almost swamped him when he Jumped to Paris. This correspondent has talked with . Lindbergh and has observed his conduct when set upon by newspaper men, photographers and crowds. One has only to meet him to know that his reserve is due first to his com- mendable insistence that he should not be asked to comment on anything out- side of his fleld of information and, second, to his natural shrinkage from crowds. ‘There is not the slightest suggestion of ill-breeding in his behavior, and if he has appeared remiss in answering the salvos of the multitude, it is be- cause of his bewilderment that all this fuss should be made over his goings and comings. It is understood from his friends that he is learning from the elder statesmen who surround him some of the surface arts of public intercourse, which may be practiced without sacri- fice of the deeper reserves which his admiring cogntrymen genuinely respect.
