LINDBERGH URGES SPEED LANGLEY FIELD, Va„ May 2.— Fresh from a weeks flying survey of United States military air bases, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh warned government officials today that "unless we get going, we wont catch up with Germany in five years" in the aviation research activity that has given that country the mightiest air force in the world. Lindberghs warning was made as he accompanied 250 representatives of the aviation industry to inspect at Langley Field the only aeronautical research facilities possessed by the federal government. His advice was renewed even after he witnessed the first demonstration of a new "Wonder Wing" perfected by Langley engineers, which is expected to increase the speed of fighting airplanes to 500 miles an hour.
