He advocated the train- ing of civilian pilots so that they might become military pilgts if need arose, “We do not want war,” he said, “but the surest way to avoid war is to be prepared for it.” This city, he said, is probably America’s most vulnerable point in case of war and should have an ade- quate air force.

Lindbergh's return to New York, reportcrs outside the Park avenue apartment where he is staying were told this morning that the young flier was sleeping late to rest up from exertions of his reception. Remembering (hat the doorman story of Lindbergh's slumber y rerday had proved to be a screen behind which the youthin! coloneci bad slipped away to the Long Island flying fields, it would noi have sur- prised the reporters to have sudden- ly learned that their man had turned up in Washington or almost anywhere at all. Indications that Lindbergh really was staying “at home” this morning were strengthened when a party (Continued on Page 15.)

At the Dornier factory they were shown a “Super-Wal," the latest type of large passenger plane. After their inspection, the machine was taken up for an exhibition flight. At the zeppelin works they were especially interested in the LZ-127, now under construction, which Dr. Elckener yesterday announced would attempt a flight around the world in 1928, After Inspecting the musenm, the airmen were taken:to Dr. Eckener’s home for luncheon.

Warner, printed {beside Mitchell's letter, absolved the {navy from blame In connection with the plane. The controversy arose from the fact that Lindbergh Monday borrow- led an army plane for his flight to |New York fter he found his own | motor working imperfectly. “A | “sticking” valve, or more technically | a “frozen cam follower” was blamed for the trouble which navy men and | “:u-lmion experts said could not be | foreseen.

Mitchell, who was the center of an aviation controversy in 1925 which led to his retirement from “incompetent di.ccting heads,” in its air service and suggested the navy was unwilling to admit that battleships were useless in the light of aviation development. He said there was no excuse for permitting the “Spirit of St. Loui to be dampencd by salt air en route home aboard the cruiscr Memphis— Col.
