VALLEY
L— _
THE RAIN which fell on Browns
ville and surrounding territory in
the early hours of Tuesday was the
first moisture worthy of the name
to fall here within four months
and there has not been a really
hard rain in the section since Nov.
9. 1928, when more than 3 inches
fell.
Other portions of the Valley had
fared better than the Brownsville
area for some reason, good rains
having fallen a week before over
the dry land section and in many
parts of the irrigated area. Maybe
they pay the preacher better.
The rain Tuesday was worth
millions of dollars to Valley farm
ers and was especially thankfully
received about this city.
On Dec. 5 a rainfall of .90 inches
was recorded at the local w'eather
bureau by W. J. Schnurbusch.
From that time until April 9 the
rain guage at the station was not
overly worked as only slight pre
cipitation was recorded during that
four months period.

COL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH
sees no reason why the country
should become alarmed when he
fails to arrive at some certain point
at just the hour when the populace
has estimated he should arrive.
“All this stir is so uncalled for,”
he says. “When a person sets out
for an automobile tour he does not
notify someone at the other end of
his journey to be on the lookout
for him. Why should we who use
the air do so?
“One mode of travel is as safe
as the other.”
All this after he had arrived at
the municipal airport here this
morning just as the army and ,pri
vate individuals were about tc put
searcMjT^ parties into the air.
He naSrieft Mexico City at noon
Tuesday and had not been seen or
heard of until he arrived here at
9:30 a. m.
» + • #
The Colonel fails to see any
reason why such a stir should be
raised when he is out of touch
with the world for a few hours.
“I likely in the future will be out
of touch with telephone and tele
graph for two or three days at a
time.
“There is no reason then, when 1
fail to appear at some airport
where the people think I should
land, to send out searching parties,”
Col. Lindbergh said.
“I regret very much that the
press has seen fit to cause all this
unnecessary excitement by sending
out unauthorized dispatches. When
I left Mexico City at noon Tuesday
I had no intention of flying be
yond the borders of Mexico."
“If press dispatches had merely
said I had left for an unannounced
destination, there would have been
no cause for alarm."

Lone Eagle Had I
Been Object ofl
All Night Watchl
Unaware that he had been the cause of world-wideBj
anxiety by failing to appear at any airport during the®?
night, and apparently puzzled over why such a thing had Ml
occurred, Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, landed at the®
municipal airport here at 9:30 a. m. Wednesday morning®
just as preparations were being made to start aerial par-®
ties into Mexico to search for him. ®
He remained at the airport until 11:03 when he took®
off again for an unannounced destination. He did say,®
however, that he would be in New York City Saturday tote
meet the Doat hearing tne^
remains of Myron T. Her
rick, United States ambassa
dor to France and close per
sonal friend.
The flying colonel had left Val
buena flying field at Mexico City
at 12:20 p. m. central standard time j
Tuesday and press dispatches from
there said he was enroute to the
United States by way of Browns
ville.
The Lone Eagle issued a short
terse statement here and refused
to elaborate on it in any way and
he also refused to reveal where he
had spent the night. He had camp
ing equipment in his plane and it
was believed he had spent the
night on a ranch in Mexico be
tween here and Tampico.
“I regret very much that the
press has seen fit by unauthorized
reports to cause unnecessary anx
iety for my safety.”
This was his only statement for
publication. As he climbed into his
plane to leave the port here he
laughingly told attendants that
when he returns again he will tell
them where he spent Tuesday
night.
He said when he left Mexico City
he had told reporters there that
he was leaving for “an unannounc
ed destination” and that he had
not indicated that he was “enroute
to the United States by way of
Brownsville.” He said he had not
intended to fly beyond the borders
of Mexico that night.
When Col. Lindbergh arrived at
the airport he was rested as
though he had enjoyed a good
night’s sleep but he was hungry
and ate a hearty breakfast at the
home of Les Mauldin, airport
manager.
In discussing the excitement
which had been caused by his fail
ure to arrive at any airport in the
United States he indicated he might
disappear in short time for three
or four days, but “this would be
no indication that anything was
wrong.
His plane was checked over by
airport attendants and was refuel
ed. The motor was found in per
fect condition as was all parts of
the plane. About enough fuel to
make a flight from Mexico City to
Brownsville had been consumed, at
tendants said.
Lights at the airport here and at
several places in the United
States, including Kelley Field, San
Antonio, were kept . burning
throughout the night and anxious
watch was kept for the air hero
at many places in the United
States.
When he arrived here the Asso
ciated Press had just completed a
check of practically all the airports j
in the country and all of them had !
