Lindbergh Sees Reporters As Nuisance Not News
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh told a reporter he is not news and does not seek publicity. He refused to discuss future plans or the proposed 24 hour coast to coast passenger route, saying he avoids information to prevent embarrassment and crowds at airports. Lindbergh said reporters are fine but he wants to be left alone and noted his mother accompanied him on a Detroit to New York flight. He left Indianapolis after meeting with Chamber officials about a municipal airport site and declined Lake Maxinkuckee lodging due to his schedule.
