C., Dec. 39 -- Col. Charles A. Lindbergh has de-- finitely decided to return to the Un-- ited States by way of Havana after completing his Central American tour instead of accepting South Am-- erican invitations, state department advisors from Guatemala City said today. Lindbergh will leave Guatemala Friday morning for Belice,, British Honduras, where he will land if the field is in suitable condition. "I certainly appreciated the en-- thusiastic greeting at Hurora Field and at one time was afraid I might m"some of the people when they rushed at my plane," Lindbergh told American legation officials at Guate-- mala City where he arrived yester-- day C To Meet Delegates. "I would like to visit all South Am-- erican countriés on this tour but as I bhave made arrangements to be in Havana for the Pan--American Con-- ference where I can meet all South American delegates, it is impossible." The filyer told the American minis-- ters if unable to land at Beline he would proceed directly to Salvador, thence to Tegucigalpa, Managua, San Jose and Panama; after which direct-- ivy to Havansa. Despite the warning of the French fiver, Jeanneau, that Lindbergh in his hop to 'Guatemala should stick to the coast or railway route the Am-- cvrican flew the straight air line over vroleanoes and immense canyons fill-- ed with mist where it would have been impossible to see a landing place The legation reported "Lindbergh flew generally at an altitude of 7.,006 teet above sea level arising at times tco 12,000 feet."
