THE SUNDAY STAR, “'ASHII\'GTOL\', D. C, JANUARY 4, 1942 Maijority Favors Reinstating Lindbergh in Army, But Survey Shows Many Disagree Violently movements before the outbreak of made a fool of himself once.” Mr. Charles A. Lindbergh's offer of his services to the Army and Sec- retary of War Stimson's state- ment on the famous flver have aroused Nation-wide interest. The following is a cross-section of national opinion on the question showing that while a majority favor Mr. Lindbergh's reinstate- ment, there are many violent dissenters. By North American Newspaper Alliance. With but few exceptions, per in Washington on whether the Government should ac- cept Charles A. Lindbergh’s request questioned for active in the Army agreed yesterday the former isola- tionist should be given “another chance.” Chairman Bloom of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, how- ever, said he would not indulge in back-seat driving but would leave the matter up to the Secretary of War. “We should be a united people. and whatever the Secretary decides should prevail,” he remarked. “The Army and Navy are running this war.” Secretary Stimson said the War Department was ready to accept from Mr. Lindbergh “or any one else” any advice which might help in the war effort. He added that no action had been taken as yet on the fiyer's request for Army service. Senator Wiley. Republican, of Wis- consin said “Decidedly yes,” the fiyer should be commissioned again. He added: “The Government should utilize the brains of all men in America who have had air train- ing. Americans have always had in- ventive minds. Let's get them all into operation.” Remarked Mrs. Nicholas Long- worth, wife of the late Speaker of the House: “Of course, his offer &hould be 2 service war. Philadelphia Approval |Is Almost Unanimous PHILADELPHIA. — Public opin- jon in Philadelphia is 2'most unani- mous that if Mr. Lindbergh wants to give his services to t country, his offer should be accepied. Judge Vincent AT Carroll, cclenel in the Caval World V/ar veteran and past natiorncl vice com- mander of the American Legion, was emphatic. “Unquestionably the country should have the benefit of Lind- bergh's services,” he said. “Neither his patriotism, his courage nor his loyalty have ever becn questioned. To refuse to accept him would be a denial of the democratic process of which we boast.” Other opinions: Charles J. Pommer, president of | | Matson said. “How could we rely on | his judgment in the future?” | “Lindbergh's record is such as to| end his usefulness,” said a house- | wife, Mrs. Edward Shackler. “Certainly, take him back,” said Herbert C. Snyder, a truck driver. | If mistakes are held against a man, | look where we'd all be.” | £i nd Stern, investment broker, | ive of Germany end a natural- | ized citizen: “All he’s ever done is | push the Fuscsist principle #nd stir un defeatism. No, I wouldn't let | him back because of this part of his record.” Majority in Detroit | Urge Using His Services DETROIT.—A majority of De- | troitors interviewed think Mr. Lind- | | bergh’s offer to return to active City Council—"I should think the | Federal Government would be quick to accept Col. Lindbergh's offer.” Elmer Kilroy, Democratic Speaker of the State House of Representa- tives—"Certainly any one who wants to help should be permitted to co so where his help could do the most good.” James P. Clark, Democratic city chairman—*"T feel like Secretary of | War Stimson, that every one should help.” Sharply Divided Views Found in St. Louis ST. LOUIS.—A sharp division of opinion on whether Mr. Lindberg’s offer of his services to the air forces should be accepted was disclosed here. Victor B. Harris, attorney, who was a speaker at many meetings | sponsored by the St. Louis Chapter of America First, thought a man of Lindbergh's aviation experience should be accepted. Olin M. Matson was opposed to duty in the air corps should be ac- | cepted, but there were a couple of violent dissenters. Those questioned and their an- swers: Harvey Campbell, secretary and executive vice - president, Detroit Board of Commerce: “The Govern- ment should accept any American’s offer to go back to work. We are going to need all the work we can get. Mavbe Lindbergh got off the track, but he's still an American. Did you ever nctice that a train off the track makes the loudest noise?" Ardis Castleberry. janitor: “No. the Government shouldn't take him back. From what I have read, I think Lindbergh is a hypocrite.” William Reid, instructor in a de- fense training class: “Notwithstand- ing the things Lindbergh has said he is still an American. He has had | good training and apparently is an excellent pilot and navigator.” Rev. Warren Wheeler Pickett, pastor, First Congregational Church: “I think his offer should be accepted by all means; because the man has disagreed with his President in time | fits him for the Air Corps, and the | should utilize all the talent and skill | | aveilable. | bergh's offer should be accepted. | accept all the help we can get. be denied the right to serve his country in time of war.” John Overman, telegrapher: *“I don't think Lindbergh should be taken back. So many of his state- | ments have sounded like Hitler.” Daniel V. O'Leary, sales manager, United Air Lines: “Lindbergh has had a lot of technical experience which Army is looking for men with aero- nautical experience.” Milwaukee Opinion Favors Reinstatement MILWAUKEE.—This is how Mil- wa lans feel about Lindbergh: er—This is no time for us to be divided. Lindbergh's offer should be ‘zccepted. It will help morale. Phyrician—Lindbergh would be a valuable man in cur war effort. We Dentist—I think Lindbergh did a very fine thing. We should accept his offer. With his experience, | Lindbergh would be of great help. Stenographer—If Lindbergh is sin- cere, we should accept his services, but with a grain of salt. I'm for | anvthing that will help this country.l Tavern keeper—I think Lind- He is a valuable man. Now that we‘l are at war, we should let bygones | be bygones. | Minister—The situation has so changed that we as a Nation should | hed Lindbergh can be of help, I am in favor of utilizing him. | Let Army Decide, 1 Is Dallas’ Attitude * DALLAS —News of Mr. Lindbergh's offer of his services was received with mixed emotions by Dallas resi- dents, but the majority seemed to think it was a matter for the Army rather than the public to decide. C. A. Mattay, American Legion district commander, expressed the | opinion of the majority when he said that now is the time to cast out prejudices. “I don't agree with most of the things Lindbergh said, but we can find a place for him in our defense program.” Frank Holaday, attorney. active | changing the name of Lindbergh street, said that enlisted men would not respect Lindbergh. “A com- mission in the Army makes a man very powerful,” he said. “I do not think Lindbergh should have one.” C. E. Pope, filling station opera- tor, said: “Personally. I think the Army can. get along without Lind- bergh, and most of the people I have talked to feel the same way.” B. F. McLain, furniture retailer, World War -veteran, former direc- tor of the United States Chamber of Commerce, now heading Dallas Red Cross drive: “It is entirely up to the Army.” Opinion in Atlanta About Evenly Divided ATLANTA.—This city is about evenly divided on the Lindbergh question. This is how some resi- dents feel: W. H. Elliott, Hapeville (sub- urban) fire chief: “Now is not the time to put a man with his views in a responsible position. He ought to be deported from this country.” T. H. Porch, draft board clerk: “Accept him if he is willing to fly for the United States in the war zone.” Mrs. R. H. Lolley, jr., restaurant cashier: “Shouldn’t trust him.” D. H. Humphrey, filling station operator: “A man who believes what he does shouldn’t have any part in the defense program.” Henry Kinman, battery repn!r-‘ man: JLindbergh is a traitor wait- ing for an opportunity to sell this country out. He is making a scramble to get on the popular side of the controversy.” Elizabeth Gibgon, student: “His training is valuable enough to take a chance for. Accept him. It would be his chance to prove his loyalty.” Gives Up Auto for Navy SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Jan. 3 (®). —Police cleared up today the mys- tery of a Vermont registered road- ster which had been parked for three weeks near the Federal Build- | ing.
