‘B4 LINDBERGH SEE (1230 AIR PROGRESS South America Is Becoming Air-Minded Faster Than U. S., He Thinks. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, January 2—Science in flying kept well abreast of other prog- ress and development in both North and South America in 1929, in the opinion of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, and he believes that progress will con- tinue at the present rate, and perhaps at a more rapid pace in 1930. Pausing here over New Year day on 8 flight across the country with Mrs. Lindbergh, the transatlantic fiyer con- ferred with officials of the Transconti- nental Air Transport, Inc., with which he is connected, paid a surprise visit to a historical memorial maintained here in his honor, and in an interview Yook stock of the status of aviation. Does Not Fear Slump. He could see no cause for alarm in reports of a current slump in the avi- ation industry, but felt it was due to & seasonal slackening in the demand for planes and also to new features and improvements to be embodied in -new models to be turned out this year. In engineering and structural improve- ments, he said, new planes and equip- ment ‘will in the future be greatly in advance of the present types. Labora- fory development, he added, is far ehead of construction. Col. Lindbergh said he believed that commercial aviation, particularly in assenger transport lines, has developed in America to the point where it com- res favorably witl lurare.n airlines. He said he was especially impressed ‘with the possibilities of aviation in South America, and incidentally, an- mounced his intention of flying again to that country at some future time. He added, however, that he has no iefinite plans at this time for such a Hight. i South America Passing U. S. i He expressed belief that South Amer- Hea is developing air-mindedness more Zapidly than the United States and said it affords excellent opportunities in avi- fntion because of its geographical con- ition and because airlines now do ot have to compete with highly de- Aeloped railroad systems. ¢ He said, however, that passenger air vel is growing each month in the fUnited States and that he sees no rea- why it should pot continue. The developmeny. of radio connections ‘with airplanes was viewed by the colo- mel as an outstanding recent develop- ment in aviation passenger lines. The successful use of radio as a means of direct communication by voice with airplanes in flight over a distance of ‘hundreds of miles will, prove a great boon to air travel. Night Schedules Coming. { The T. A. T. of which he is chair. #uan of the board of diretors, is look: ing forward, Col. Lindbergh said, to dnauguration of night schedules as its m principal development. Main- 1 ince of night schedules over the Rranscontinental route, he pointed out, Mwould greatly speed up air travel. 'Thorough study now is being given to ‘this subject as well as to other matters Qooking to a program of expansion, he #aid, and it will be developed as rapidly #8 possible. He intimated that estab- 3ished night passenger schedules may e _expected this year. % Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh, who were Ruests of St. Louis friends during the «day. expect to resume their westward Journey tomorrow on an inspection trip the T. A. T. line. The colonel said plans to continue flying this year ,;uch as he has in the past and that expects to keep closely in touch with the T. A. T. lines during the year, mak- ing frequent inspection flights over the transcontinental route. WEALTHY WIDOW ROBBED. Mrs. Anna Tenneau Loses $15,000 in Clothing and Jewelry.
