MUCH ELL FIELD, New
York, June 17.—Colonel
Charles Lindbergh hopped
oil tor St. Louis early today
in his plane, the “Spirit of
St. Louis,” after his four days
of receptions and celebra-
tions in New York.
There was a large crowd of his
admirers at the held to see him
of! They lined tiie runway in such
crowds that police had difficulty
at. times to keep the line clear. The
take-oil was perfect however.
Lindbergh expected to reach BL
Louis about 4 30 Friday afternoon.
The flyer appeared extremely
tired as he answered questions e<
re [letters. He renewed his thanks
for the courtesies extended by
those responsible for his New
York reception and for the courte-
sies of those in charge of the Ar-
my air field here He also thanked
tiie press for its co-operation.
Lindbergh appeared under the
impression that, the unannounced
drift in his plans during his stay
in the city had displeased the re-
porters who had "covered" him in
his four days welcom^ in New "
York and with characteristlp di-
plomacy he explained the difficul-
ty of following a set program.
"At times it was Impossible to
announce plans for any length of
time." he said Just before
started on his St. Louis flight.
