" A—10 THE‘SUXDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. NOVEMBER 8, 1931—PART ONE. “LINDY" TO TAKE LESSON IN FLYING Must Pass “Examination” | to Fly “Clipper” Over Trans- caribbean Route. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 7.—Col Charles A. Lindbergh, the world's air | hero, is going to take a flying lesson. The object is to pass his “examina- tions” as pilot of the American Clipper, largest transport plane ever to go into Tegular operation on an airline. Lindbergh, as technical adviser of Pan-American Airways, is going to fly the big boat from Miami, November 17, on its first regular trip over the trans- caribbean route between North and, Bouth America. But first he must, in compliance with the company's regulations, be “checked out” as an experienced pilot of the craft. Although several of his technical ideas are incorporated in the plane, which was conceived three years ago and took two years to build, he has never had the opportunity to sit at the controls. So he plans to go to Miami and get his experience under the eagle eye of Basil Rowe, chief seaplane pilot for the company. His 1,700-mile fight from Miami to Panama by way ol Cinefuegos, Cubn,; Kingston, Jamaica, and Barranguula, Colombia, will serve to emphasize the progress in coramercial aviation in that area since February 9, 1929, whea he made his pionecring flight from Miami to the Canal Zoue The longest ove:-water hop was the 110-mile stre‘ch from Havana, and there were those who shook their heads at the idea of an alr route over .hat much of the Caibbean. The reguiar route which Lindbergh will follow on the coming trip strikes boldly over 500 mmiles of water fiom Cuba to Jamaica, ghen across another 650 miles of sea grom Jamaica to Colombia.

Gifford Pinchot, speaking before the | American Academy of Political and Bocial Science last night, said, electric power and electric appliance companles could contribute to industrial recovery by lowering prices. The academy i5 holding a two-day meeting, discussing “power and the public.” “Nobody questions the field for in- creased use of appliances at more rea- sonable prices,” said the governor, “Low cost of current means low cost of operation, and that induces purchase.
