...Congressional District adjoining Son Kvale's in Minnesota might offer a spectacular opportunity for the perpetuation of another father & son tradition in U. S. politics. From that district came the late Congressman Charles Augustus Lindbergh, father of official No. 1 U. S. Hero. The late Congressman Lindbergh left his seat in 1917. Son Lindbergh then lacked ten years of the constitutional age (25) for House membership. Many have been the suggestions that Hero Lindbergh should now attempt to succeed to his father's old seat in Congress. Against these suggestions arise three mighty obstacles: 1) Col.

Newspapers do not often compliment each other, with or without cause.

Lindbergh's return from Paris, the Fund made him its Technical Advisor and promoted his state-to-state cross-country junket. Current Fund activities include experimental work in fog-flying and a $100,000 competition for the safest airplane...
...Lindberghs Over Yucatan. Soaring over Campeche, Yucatan, Quintana Roo (Mexico), British Honduras, and Guatemala, Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh and a Fairchild camera last week observed the remains of three Mayan cities and traces of a fourth. Dr. Alfred Vincent Kidder of the Carnegie Institution, who accompanied them, declared gratefully that they had accomplished more exploratory work in 25 hours of flying than a ground party could have done in five years of plodding...
