¥ 4 KING GEORGE PINS MEDAL ON AVIATOR (Continued from First Page) The second measage follows: “Request telegraphic reply earliest practicable time whether salling of destroyer with Lindbergh can be ad- | vanced to mecet Lindbergh's wishes. The ambassador (Herrick) considers this of urgent importance.” Admiral Burrage wired in reply: “Date of iling of destroyer can be advanced to suit Captain Lind- bergh’'s convenience and I hope the navy may have the pleasure and honor of giving him transportation. Request as much advance informa- tion as possible concerning the date and port of departure.” The Breck is commanded by Lt. Commander J. H. Magruder, Jr., and has & top speed of 34.52 knots but probably will cruise at about 15 knots on the return. The time of the arrival of the destroyer probably will determine the part President Coolidge will take in the big reception planned in Wash- ington inasmuch as Mr. Coolidge plans to leave the capital June 13 for his summe. vacation. The Breck was named in memory of Acting Volunteer Lieutenan Commander Joseph B. Breck of ine, who, according to naval re- cords, was “considered an officer of pluck amd resource” and who won a brilliant name for himself by his successe™ on the Wilmington blo ade w € Civil war. Londen, Mz 31.—P—A voung man with keen eyes and a winning smile called at Buckingham palace today told King George how it feels to fly over the Atlantic, all alone, from New York to Paris. The king received his visitor cor- dially and before many minutes had passed decorated him with the alr force cross, to add to the French Legion of Honor and the Belgian insignia of Knight of the Order of Leopold which already wears. Was Visibly “Stumped” The honor conferred by the Brit- ish soverign seccmed to stump the liero. He flushed and for a second hesitated as to what he should say next, but another handshake from the king soon put him at his case. Then they sat down, and Lindy told the King how it was done, talk- ing in a most natural and enthusi- astic manner. The king was en- thusiastic, too. George V doesn't care much for flying himself—in fact he has never been in the air— - |to the disappointment of the crowd | Captain Lindbergh | of York. Nurse Knight had brought the baby down stairs to witness the airman’s arrival. The reception at the entrance was without formalities, Captain Lind- bergh and Mr. Sterling being met by General Porter, one of the king's |aldes, and escorted through the cor- ridor to the waiting room_gnd thence to the king's private room on the first floor. Audience Lasts 20 Minutes Lindbergh was with the king just 20 minutes; and it is understood | Lindbergh did his share of the talk- |ing, although his royal host showed much curlosity about some of his experiences and asked numerous | questions. Talks About The Derby | King George, like most Eng:ish- {men, had the Derby much in mind, |and his parting words to Captain | Lindbergh were he would see the airman with Lord Lonsdale at Ep- om tomorrow. The king asked Captain Lindbergh it he had attempted to pick the | Derby winner. Lindbergh replied [that horse racing was entirely out ot his line of guess work, and that | |he could not even say what horse | had won the Kentucky devby. | Soon after Lindbergh's departure, the king left by motor for the open- ing of the racing at Epsom, on the course W the Derby will be run | tomorro: Carrles His Medal | Only a few minutes elapsed after | |the audicnce began before the King | Lestowed the air forcs cross upon | |the aviator. It was noticed that | Lindbergh did not wear it when he ! left but carried it in its case, much | of photographers awaiting him. After taking leave of the King, bergh descended the stairs to | the equerry’s room, where he re. | mained for some time chatting with'| | Sir Charles Cust, the equerry. Dur- |ing their talk they exchanged auto- | graphs. |~ Finally, glancing at his wrist| watch, Lindbergh remarked that it | was about time he was due at York | house to visit the Prince of Wales. As he started to leave with Mr. Sterling, he again encountered the baby princess, Elizabeth. | Shakes Baby's Hands | ‘ This time, the airman, walking | across the vestibule, took her fittle | | hand and shook it, much to the de- |light of the nurse. Then he patted | the princess’ cheek and chucked her | | under the chin, and upon leaving | | took her tiny chubby fingers in his | great hands and pressed them ten- | derly. { As he turned to go he was sur- | rounded by members of the palace | household, all eager for autographs, which he gave until his fountain pen ran dry. | Meets the Prince NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1927 talk for nearly fifteen minutes. The prince is an aviation enthusiast and one of his first flights was with Brigadier-General William Mitchell, who was In charge of.aviation when the Americans were on the Rhine. Streets Are Crowded Lindbergh left St. James palace as the clock in the tower chimed 11:30. The police had cleared the courtyard, but the nearby streets were jammed. The filer and Coun- selo- Sterling left by way of Pall Mall while most of the spectators expected they would go out the other exit. Nevertheless there were great cheers as the crowd got a floeting glimpse of their car in the distance. They proceeded to the American embassy where the aviator was given |a chance to catch his breath, change his clothes and start for the Claridge, where he had luncheon with Sir Samuel Hoare, the air minister; Sir Sefton Brancker and other notables of Great Britain's roval air force and civil aviation. At tea time, Lindbergh was due at the house of commons to have bread and butter, jam, cakes and tea with Lady Astor, American born mem- ber of the commons, and to get a glimpse into the inner workings of parliament houses over which he flew on his arrival from Brussels. Tonight he is the guest of the Royal Aero club, when he meets Sir Arthur Whitten Brown, who with the late Sir John Alcock made the first non-stop airplane flight over th: Atlantlc in June, 1919, from Newfoundland to Ireland. Sir Ar- thur came to London from his home at Swansea, Wales, to present his congratulations to the American.

Hartford, May 31 (®—With structural steel contractors here de- claring themselves opposed to the demand of Connecticut Local No. 15, Steel Industrial Workers of America, for an increase in pay from $11 to $12 a day, but declining to the quoted to this effect by name, and with spokesmen for the union men expressing confidence that their de- mand would be met before tomor- row or at the most after only a day or two of deadlock, but likewise de- clining to be quoted to this effect by name, each side today appeared to be putting up a stift front in the hope that the other side would weaken. One contractor, however, wanted it made plain that the contractors are not “flatly opposed” to the de- mand of the union men. The era- ployers, this man explained, feel rather that the demand is inoppor- tune in view of the fact that condi- tions just now are not so prosper- ous as they might be, that “business is sub-normal and prospects for the coming year not too bright.” The union men on the other hand, declare that all' throughout the from $12 to $14 a day, and that in- asmuch as they can work only about half the time a wage of $12 a day is in reality equivalent to but $6 ¢ NINETEEN HILLED AND HANY INJURES (Continued from First Page) B0 e " women were drowned when in &) attempt to pass another machine o a narrow bridge in that town, their car crashed through a guard rai and dropped into 40 feet of water .
