THE LINDBERGHS

MAY BECOME BRITISH

LONDON, January 23

After just, a year’s exile as refugees from the terrorism of American gangsters. Colonel and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh are understood to have decided to become naturalised British citizens as soon as the law permits them to do so. It is believed that they will shortly take out naturalisation papers for (hemselves ’and for their three-year-old son, Jon.

At Long Barn, a red-walled fifteenth century house which stands amid a belt of trees not far from the remote Kentish village of Weald, near Sevenoaks. the Lindberghs have spent the happiest months they have known for years. And now they are to know an even greater happiness, for, according to reports in the village, Mrs. Lindbergh is expecting another child. Villagers who have watched Charles Lindbergh playing with sturdy solemnlaced Jon, and seen him drive down the village street in a fast grey car, or soar above the ancient trees in his new orange-and-black monoplane, have (-ome to accept this famous exiled trio as friendly, unassuming neighbours.

“The straighten, kindest man I have ever met,” was the verdict of a garage worker on Colonel Lindbergh. “Though he doesn't take an active part in the life of our village, lie helps all the village causes, and has just given us a generous contribution to tile church funds and village institute. At Christmas he remembered everyone in the village who had done him even the smallest service.”
