Lindbergh's Wife, Sons Sail to U. S.
Colonel Himself Already in Washington on Government Duty; Young Son's First Trip Here
Le Havre, France, April 20. -(AP)-Mrs. Charles Lindbergh, her two sons and their nurse boarded the liner Champlain today for the United States, where they will join Colonel Lindbergh. Lindbergh sailed April 8. (He is now in Washington, where the War Department has called him to active duty to make a survey of United States aviation facilities.)
Mrs. Lindbergh declined to talk to reporters who approached her on the deck. Boarding the ship, she and the family remained in their cabin.
(This will be the first visit to the United States of Land, who was born May 12, 1937, in London. His brother, Jon, who will be seven years old next August 16, has not been in the United States since he was taken to England in December, 1935, by his parents.)
They went aboard the Champlain at 1 p. m., five hours before the vessel was scheduled to sail as a replacement for the liner Paris, which burned and foundered yesterday only a few hours before its sailing time.
