From che ignpenetrable police cordons aod friendly fliers of Berlin, the Lindberghs flew to Copechagen to be plunged once mote into the glace of hated publicity, The Colonel and Dr. Carrel were ro demon- strate their ‘‘perfusion pump’ before the Incernational Cyrology Congress. When photographers arrived for the first mecuing and began concenrrating on him, Lindbergh threarened to leave che Congress. Alone with the savants who came to inspece the ““hearc pump,” be was happy as a child demonscrazing the mechanism, and beamed as praise and appreciation were lavished on him Bur the world would nor Jet him be. On several occasions he had to change restaurants after he had begun cating, so large were the crowds that followed kim. Finally, he broke off his stay and flew back to England. The Lone Eagle takes te the sir again Buc the lazy life of Weald no longer appealed to him. On his return to England he rook over the plane he now flies, designed and built for him by che noted British designer F.G. Miles. The “‘Mo- bawk”’ is a powerful ewo-seared low-wing monoplane, painted black and orange, with a cruising radius of 1,000 miles and a speed of 20 m.p-h. The last word in privare-plane perfection, it is equipped with sears that cen be turned into beds, the most modern radio and Navigating instruments, and designed for tong flights in aay part of the world. The ‘Lone Eagle” was ready to rake ro che air agaic. Lindbergh also interested himself again ic the transatlantic plans of Pan American Airways. With rrail-blazing Pan American Presi- denz Trippe he flew over ro inspect the Irish Free State's new base oo the Shannon River. President de Valera, who ceustingly alluwed Lindbergh to take him up on his frst flight, found him an interesting and cheerful companion. Bur, back from lreland—on a delayed trip which starred the rumor that he was lost in the Eoglish Channel and rarned a glare of public~ iry on him again—he once more went into seclusion in Kent. Twa months larer, in February 1937, he started off wich bis wife on their 10,c00-milg jaune to India and back. The trip was not without pverture; -~—lxhier aforced landing io che Sytian Deserr in a sandstorm thar reduced visibility to 100 yd. Ar New Deli.iteeae his wife were entertained by Lord Linlithgow in the magnificence of che viceregal palace. Buc all these new places and people seemed to make little impression on him. People who calked co him on these trips say that his main and almost exclusive interest seemed to be how soon flying weathet would permit the next take-off. And friends who asked him afterwarde what he saw and choughz got Do reaction whatever. Shortly after che Lindberghs' recurn to Landon from Calcutta—in May 1937—Anne had her third child. The precautions for sectecy were cven more elaborate than usual. At the nursing home she was listed as Mrs. Charles, and Lindbergh obtained permission from the anthoricics foskip the usual registration formalities, so thac rhe press might get no advance information. During that summer, Lindbergh made frequent visits co Carre] at Sr. Gildas. Rumor had it that they were planning a new hoc of research. The world was curious and began commenting.
