(Continued From First Page.) it~ hearts went out in fraternal warmth to -; those who have so royally welcomed our national hero. Welcome Is Universal, “Today, therefore, every American knows exactly what pride and happiness possess every French heart at the knowl- edge that these two gallant sons of France stand safely on our sofl” the President continued. “We wish the People of France to know that our wel- come of their two heroes is warm and spontaneous and universal. We rejoice that this brilliant feat has been ac- complished. We are delighted to honor these two men, who have thus dra- matically recalled Col. Lindbergh's call. *“This return visit of the French aviators is even more than an oc- casion for national rejoicing and inter- national felicitations. What they have done, what the great American aviators have done, Byrd, Rickenbacker and the rest, both those who sacrificed themselves wholly and those who live, is & glory of the whole human race. It demonstrates again the high courage of mankind. It gives heart to all of us in whatever tasks engage us, for it proves that there are no limits to the courage of men and that there are no limits to what that courage can ac- . complish. “Again, gentlemen,” the President said in conclusion, “I welcome you, on behalf of the American Government and on behalf of the American people.” ‘The White House reception came following & morning of official recep- tions and ceremonies, beginning with a quiet moment of reverence spent at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where Coste and Bellonte laid a wreath, . while an_Army bugler played “Taps.” . As the Prench flyers walked toward the tomb through the Arlington Memo- « rial Amphitheater, the Army Band . played the French national anthem, and as they stood at attention through the closing bars, they saw before them, through the mist, the dome of the Capitol and the Washington Monu- ment. Pliots Meet Lindbergh. One of the big events of the morning ‘was an informal meeting between Coste and Bellonte and Lindbergh at the De- partment of Commerce. The meeting came as a surprise to the French fly- ers, who beamed their pleasure. Lind- bergh was with Secretary Lamont, Clarence M. Young, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics, and Dr. Julius Klein when the party arrived. Col. Lindbergh, much taller than either of the visitors, stooped and shook hands eagerly with them. “Good morning, glad to see you,” he said warmly, and congratulated them on their flight. They then retired to Secretary Lamont’s private office and were closted there for about 15 min- utes, discussing various phases of the flight and aviation in general. Leaving the Department of Commerce, the fiyers returned to the French em- bassy, 2460 Sixteenth street, for a short rest before going to the White House. Col. Lindbergh did not accompany « the French flyers from New York yes- terday, fearing to detract from the wel- come accorded them at Bolling Fleld, but flew down through mists and rain !, this morning, landing at the local Army ~field at 9:50 Visit Unknown’s Tomb. ‘The -two fiyers, accompanied by Jules | " Henry, charge d'affaires of the French » embassy, and Maj.

They spent several minutes examining the exhibits in the entrance to the amphi- theater and then went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Being ahead of their schedule, the party left the cemetery and drove around the Capitol, before going to the Bullding. The half dozen cars in the party passed h the streets without attracting , but a royal reception was waiting for them at the entrance to the Government building. Hundreds of Government clerks, largely women, lined the corridors of the State Department Building and gave the flyers a rousing ovation as they entered. Young women crowded for- ward eagerly to get a better view of the Frenchmen. Half a dozen attrac- tive clerks threw their arms_around the a; tly embarrassed Bellonte, who was less skillful than his fellow fiyer in evading the onslaught of their admirers. Discuss Lindy’s Flight. Their first visit at the State Depart- ment was to the office of Acting Sec- retary Joseph P. Cotton. They went to the private office of the Acting Sec- retary and were closeted with him several minutes before news photog- raphers and reporters were admitted. Acting Secretary Cotton congratulated the Prench fiyers on their achievement. ‘The conversation then turned to a| discussion of the first flight across Lhel Atlantic by Col. Lindbergh. Referring to the modest manner in . which most, famous aviators carry their honors, the Acting Secretary laughingly told his visitors that “he guessed it > was easier for distinguished flyers to keep their equilibrium in the air than on the ground.” ... After Mr. Cotton had praised the pair | for their air achievements Coste smiled | and asked a translator to say for him: “Ah, but no one has done that more dlfll(gl]! thing so well as your Col.

It was feared that the Frenchmen had misunderstood the time, and the entire program was set forward an hour. Coste and Bellonte, however, bliss- fully unaware of the confusion caused by their desire “to explore,” were hav- ing a fine time sightseeing. They loafed along at the easiest of cruising speeds and circled over Philadelphia for many minutes, “We went around so much,” Coste said, “we almost forgot the time. Sud- denly we remembered and hurried along to Baltimore, arriving there about 5 minutes late.” An escort of single-seater Army pur- suit planes had been sent up from Bolling Field an hour earlier than had been planned.

With two flights of three pursuit planes each escorting them on each side, the French flyers appeared over the National Capital shortly before 5 o'clock. A third flight of pursuiters, refueling when the plane and its escort appeared, took off to join the escort. An Army photographic plane and sev- eral commercial planes flew around the | escort. After circling over the city, Coste and | Bellonte headed for Bolling Field and, | | shoving the control stick forward, drop- | ped away from the escort in a long steep dive. Coste made one of the per- fect landings for which he has become famous, and as he taxied the big red conqueror of the Atlantic up to the line where the reception coramittee stood, the Army pursuit planes forming the escort drove and flew down the length of the field in a dramatic, roar- ing salute. ‘The French plane has no wheel brakes at STATIONERY ANNOUNCEMENTS PERSONAL CARDS Platinumsmiths ahn Jnc. 38 Years at 935 F St. Go west of Wisconsin avenue on Bradley Lane, continuing under the via- duct to entrance to Kenwood three short squares on the left. 2400 Sixteenth Street Accessible—Yet Seclusive A community that is in the definite path of the city‘s growth. quickly reached by motor over wide boulevards, carlines and Kenwood busses, operated on convenient and dependable schedules.

Talmadge clutched Marie in the crook of his elbow. Embassy attendants told Coste just as he launched into a press conference. He nodded. The boys burst into the room and offered their pet, but the fiyers’ manager shook his head. “What would they do_ with her?” Coste and Bellonte said they were sorry. Talmadge said he “could see how it was” With long faces the lads turned away, when Bellonte made a whispered suggestion. From a reporter the boys obtained slips of paper which the flyers signed.
