(AP)?France i wis waiting with bated breath to day for the first signs of the gal lant Lindbergh. Although experta shook their i heads over the oaring of the youth, the Frenchmen's readily Ikindled imagination appreciated I the Captaln'a IntrepM'iy. and ?pi frttiineliTng unhesitatingly what appeared to him an excellent chance to achieve his ambition. There was relief when the ca bles announced th?? hn hmi nr?p? tiated successfully the first stage of his adventurous trip and head ed out over the ocean from New Foundland. There was no doubt he would get a welcome such as Is vouch safed few visitors to France. Having seen to It that every thing possible has been done to ? guide Lindbergh after he reaches the French coast, by means of sig nals and powerful searchlights, the (authorities were completing ar rangements today aided by the military, to handle crowds at Lebourget Flying Field. With a view to preventing con fusion and possible collisions, the air authorities requested. or, where possible, ordered that no planes take the air during the hours the aviator was expected be cause after the gruelling Journey and many sleepless hours he will (be In no condition for social arn ienitles. The welcome will be cut (to minimum. Lindbergh will be j rushed In an automobile to a Par j is hotel# where a suite Is waiting ?for him. Myron T. Herrlck, the American ambassador, claims for himself the h'Onor to be the first to clasp the hero's hand. He is prepared to stay at the field all night If necessary. Flight news took precedence In the papera. Editorial commenta tors, while not disguising their opinion that the attempt was fool hardy, still seemed Inclined to share the faith of the crowd In the adsKe that "fortune favors fools." Frenchmen with a sentimental turn of mind took a keen delight In the name of the plane?"The Spirit of St. Louis." They pointed out thst it recalled one of France's most famous kings and the part played by French mlsslonsrles and explorers in opening the Missis sippi Vslley to civilisation.
