Amarillo, Tex. is the cow & oil town which gained national notice when Gene Howe, crusty editor of its Globe-News, accused Colonel Lindbergh of snubbing it and called Mary Garden "tottering" (TIME, June n, 1928, April 1, 1929). Last week Amarillo was of interest to the U. S. Roman Catholic hierarchy. To it went scores of priests, monsignori and bishops, among them Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, new Apostolic Delegate to the U. S., and Most Rev. Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores, exiled Apostolic Delegate to Mexico. In Amarillo they made processions, held solemn ceremonies in the Cathedral, all in honor...
Last week Pan American's long-legged technical adviser, Col. Charles Augustus Lindbergh, jaunting across the North Atlantic with his Wife Anne to survey a transoceanic route for Pan American, arrived in Copenhagen in an Eskimo fur coat. When cheering Danes nearly swamped his red-bodied, white-winged Lockheed in Copenhagen harbor, he took off again, came down in the sanctity of the naval airport...
...that day and night and the next day the Joseph LeBrix, sturdy but slow, plodded across the Atlantic. Storms battered her. but visibility meant little to her pilots; they were flying by instrument and by radio. On the second evening they swooped low-over Le Bourget (nine minutes behind Lindbergh's time), dropped messages to their wives who. waving and shrieking hysterically, could plainly see their men's faces. Codos & Rossi" flew on through the night and the third day, across Central Europe, Greece and the Aegean Sea. They skirted the coast of Asia Minor. A gasoline leak...
...Lindberghs, Charles Augustus & Anne, took off from New York in their Lockheed monoplane for a two-month tour of the Labrador-Greenland-Iceland air route now being traversed by Balbo's Italian armada. The project is sponsored by Pan American Airways, of which Col. Lindbergh is technical adviser. From New York, where their plane was nearly fouled in mid-air by flying news photographers, the Lindberghs skirted the coast to North Haven, Me., there briefly visited their infant son Jon at the Morrow summer estate...
When Col. Lindbergh points his Lockheed over Greenland's inland ice; when he takes the heavier, slower Fairchild, gets a radio bearing from the Jellinge and tries his hand at drilling through a fog wall into port-such exciting ventures will be the climax of an infinitely painstaking job which Pan American inherited a year ago. At that time the company hired an adventurous young British scientist named Harold George Watkins who previously had headed the British Arctic Air Route Expedition in Greenland for a purpose similar to Pan American's. Explorer Watkins took charge...
