NEW YORK'S TURN
TO WELCOME AIR HERO
CARNIVAL IN CITY
LINDBERGH'S TRIUMPH
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 14th Juno, 10 a.m.)
NEW YOBK, 13th June. The hero of the New York-Paris flight, Captain Charles Lindbergh, arrived and received decorations from the Mayor, Mr. Walker, of New York City, and Governor Al. Smith, of New York State. The reception far surpassed anything ever before experienced here. The entire city assumed a carnival atmosphere. Millions lined Broadway from the Battery to the City Hall, s\id enormous cordons of polico were utterly unable to cope with the crowds. It took a considerable time to clear a path to enable Lindbergh to land from a cutter upon his arrival by air from Washington. Bands played, whistles and sirens screamed, and the streets were cluttered ankle-deep in paper, confetti, and ticker tape streamers, some of which caught fire and almost created a panic. Showers of paper prevented the majority from seeing Lindbergh. Hundreds of women fainted.
