The fiver, carried high on the she rs of the crowd, was lifted also nto the Ami 's car and driven off the field, towering above his yguard and smiling at the shy g mob, From that moment they mot only admired him; they loved him, Pr t's Wel The flier was taken to the presi- dential box, « Senor Calles did not content himself merely with the first warm double hand shake, he threw both arms about the flier and hugged him impulsively, pat- ting his back affectionately, The President had sat in his box for three hours, growing more and more uneasy as Lindbergh failed to arrive, and the relief that he felt was evident in his face and every action, Lindbergh had been expected here exactly 24 hours after he left Washington. At 11:30 this morn- ing Ambassador Marrow, accuinpas nied by First Secretary Alan Wins- low and General Jose Alvarez, chief of the presidential staff, got in one of the embassy cars to wait on the field for the flier's arrival, A plane emerged from the haze overhanging the mountains, In- stantly from the vast throng went up a ery, "Ya viene, Lindbergh," ("Here comes Lindbergh), The goldiers and motoreyele police straightened and stiffened their lines, Ambassador Morrow took out his watch, "Well," he said," "it took him exactly one day to make the trip."

Finally a third m came in- luca, the capital of the State of Mexico. This news was communicatea to the crowd by blackboard bulletins and occasioned much rejoicing. President Calles smiled broadly in the reaction from his grave fears, and Ambassador Morrow was the picture of joy and relief, The nerve racking suspense was over{ everyone knew it would be only a matter of minutes now until Lind- bergh arrived, for these late ve- ports had been branded as authen- tie, As a mratter of fact it was at Toluca that the United States air. man, circling low in an effort to pick up the name of the city from a railroad station or factory build- ing, and greatly at a loss through his ignorance of Spanish, saw the sign board which finally directed him, He located Toluca on his maps of Mexico, saw that he was only 40 or G0 miles from Mexico City, and pointed the Spirit of St, Louis across the mountain tops tq his hidden goal.

Lindbergh g- plained that fog between Tampico and the Mexican capital had caus- ed him to get off his course. His own story of what happened was tL.s: "My delay was due principally to I ran into it after leaving .zinpico," he said. "I couldn't ind 4.y names to guide me, Maybe it +48 because I couldn't reaa ppan- 0a very well, "I had expected to make the trip .n 26 hours. I got to Tampico ahead of time.

By a name I saw on a sign board." | Lindbergh delighted Mexican | newspapermen especially by volun- teering an expression of pleasure at being in their country. "I've always been interested in Mexico," he said. "I always want- ed to see it. When I was up at Kelly Field in San Antonio I n- ned some day to make a flight to Mexico. So I've looked forward to this visit for many years. Please say that I very much appreciate. President Calle' kind invitation for me to come here. "Here's something perbaps you would like to know. When I took off, I wasn't sure whether I'd muse 2 non-stop flight or not. I hadn't decided. But when I found the go- ing was good and had no trouble, I just kept on.

"What are you doing for the rest of the day?" ) "I havn't quite figured that out." Lindbergh replied with a touch of formality. "Anyhow that's entire- ly aside from the object of the flight." The flyer refused to be inter. viewed until he had a bath. He emerged from it lookinz as clean as a hound's tooth, He showed not the slightest strain from hig 27- hour journey. He was in high spir- its as he dodged a waiting group of reporters and camera-men and bolted for a telephone.
