The President's Cabinet committee of four will now proceed to map this reception. Lindbergh will be the guest of the President and a Nation’s tribute will be paid, through the capital's welcome. He will be presented with the distinguished flyifig cross. And he probably will be made a colonel cf the national air reserve or a major of his State militia, the Missouri National Guard. Mrs. Cal to Mrs. Lindy The two "first ladies of the land’’ —the wife of President Coolidge and the mother of Charles Lindbergh, air hero, will break bread under the same roof here when “Lucky" arrives to receive the Nation's ho[mage. Mrs. Coolidge plans to send a simple invitation—as from one "schoolma'm” to another —to Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh in Detroit asking her to make the temporary white house here her home while her boy is in the city. Mrs. Lindbergh may "motor down” from Detroit for the event, it was stated. From the moment she arrives here, probably on Saturday morning, June 11, she will be the personal guest of Mrs. Coolidge.

He emphasized that it was just luck which led him to the Irish coast only three miles from the place he had picked. Lindbergh wore all three of his decorations —the French Legion of Honor, the Belgian Order of Leopold end the English Air Force Cross—for the first time at the banquet. Sir Hugh Trenchard, air marshal, praised Lindbergh. Lindbergh has acquired an extensive wardrobe.
