Lindbergh Re-enters Air Force to Study Jets
Washington—(U.P.)—Charles A. Lindbergh, in uniform for the first time since 1939, plunged today into several tough Air Force assignments, including study of a new class of jet fighter planes.
A reserve brigadier general by President Eisenhower's nomination last February, the famous "Lone Eagle" reported for a brief active duty tour in the Pentagon—without fanfare, as usual.
A short announcement disclosed only that he will work on "classified projects of special concern" to Air Secretary Harold E. Talbott. But Air Force sources said one assignment is to help select a lightweight jet fighter suitable for mass production and use by North Atlantic treaty forces. Several American, British, and French planes are in the running.
Still boyish looking at 52, Mr. Lindbergh wore for the first time the new Air Force blue uniform with silver wings on his chest. He is entitled also to wear the distinguished flying cross and a medal of honor awarded for his historic solo flight over the Atlantic on May 20-21, 1927.
Although serving his first active duty tour since working for the late Gen. H. H. (Hap) Arnold in 1939, Mr. Lindbergh is a familiar figure about the Pentagon. He has long been an Air Force consultant, most recently serving on the board which recommended the Air Force Academy site.
Architectural Work Displayed In Marvin
Edgar A. Tafel, architect, has recent work on exhibition in the architectural library, 209 Marvin Hall. The exhibit is composed of sketches, drawings and large photographs along with a statement of his belief in architecture and descriptive information. It shows examples of the last five years of his work and illustrates principally residential architecture.
Architect Edgar Tafel was associated with the Tailesen Fellowship, directed by Frank Lloyd Wright, for some years.
Magazine File Given to Library
A complete file of "The Conservator," a monthly literary magazine published from 1890 to 1919, has been given to Watson library by the Feinberg Foundation of Detroit.
Robert Vosper, director of libraries, said that until the past year no institutional library in this country had the complete set.
Horace L. Traubel, an associate of the American poet, Walt Whitman, edited "The Conservator." It contained many of Whitman's contributions and on his death a issue was devoted to his works.
Mr. Vosper said the library would arrange a special exhibit of Whitman materials in January, which will be the centennial of the printing of his poems, "Leaves of Grass."
Edward F. Grier, assistant professor of English and director of the American Civilization curriculum, said "The Conservator," in its first four years, was an organ of the liberal churches on which the tradition of thought to which Witman belongs exercised considerable influence.
"In its last 26 years it was of a more secular character, acting as a voice for liberal movements in literature and thought. Throughout its career Whitman was invoked as a patron, which suggests his influence on the more alert minds at the beginning of the 20th century.
"It is not only a valuable addition to our growing Whitman collection, but also to our collection of American literature in general," Mr. Vosper said.
A portrait of the late Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College for 21 years, is now being shown in the Museum of Art.
Dean Lawson Portrait Shown
Dean Lawson died last spring, three months before he was to have retired from the deanship. He was 65, and had been a member of the University staff for 38 years.
The portrait, painted by Daniel MacMorris of Kansas City, Mo., was done from photographs of Dean Lawson. It will remain in the museum for a month and then will be permanently hung in the College office.
The painting was made possible by gifts from friends of the late dean and the KU Endowment association.
