Inside Story Of Interview With Flying Hero Revealed By HAL BOYLE PARIS. May 22 fP) Someone got weary of reading the honied accounts of America's returning hero air warriors and wrote a parody account jof the homecom ing ot such a gay, cocky, young flier that has half the European theater of operations in stitches. The pilots, themselves, think it is wonderful, because they think the acclaim that greets their exDloits is sometimes false and foolish and smacks of mock heroics. So with all public apologies to the original anonymous auth or in whatever pub or opium den he lies dreaming herewith follows the heavily censored re port of his version of the public interview granted by one home leave rewarded warrior who made his name and fame sup posedlyover Europe when the skies were full of enemy planes instead of rainclouds. The scene is the Pentagon building in Washington, that world capital of military om niscience and by-passed colonels. The characters are Lt. Roger Rudder, "America's leading ace" just back from tne war zones, a group of homefront news report ers and good old Col. Edgar Beaver of army public relations. Mere is tne interview: Press: Welcome home. Lt. Rudder. How do you feel being back in the United States again? Lt.: Pretty punked off, Mac. Col. (To press): Lt. Rudder means his eyes were misty when the outlines of the Statue of Lib erty, symbol of the American faith and fight for freedom, loomed into sight. r sSA 3 YEARS AHEADI 8. F.

Col.: He intends to say he will fly back to his old home to see his mom and the old folks. Press: Are they going to give you the Congressional Medal of Honor? Lt.: Well, they damn well should. Col.: Lt. Rudder's modesty disclaims any high awards. "Every man in the battlclinc do serves it as much as 1" is what he said. . Press: Now. about the case of champagne you were going to get for breaking the American record for shooting down planes? Lt.: Aw, they backed down. They didn't deliver it.. Col.: Lt. Rudder is a teetotaler. The price of the case of cham pagne was generously donated to Russian war relief at his sug gestion. . , Press: How did "you shoot down all those planes? Lt.: I guess I am a pretty hot pilot. Col.: Lt. Rudder is bashful and attributes all his success to a combination of . teamwork, luck and superior equipment. Press: How about the Japa nese? v : n ' Lt.: Those skunkhcads they don't know their ear from third base. Col.: What . the lieutenant means to say is that the quality of Japanese airmen is declining. Press: What about your me chanic? Was he pretty good? Lt.: Thnt dumb son of u piano player. He was born Willi seven thumbs up his nose. It wus a miracle 1 ever got off the ground. Col.: Rudder Is lavish in his praise of our courageous ground crews, who work night and day to keep 'cm flying. Press: We understand you are going to visit the factory that made your plane. Lt.: Yeah, that's if those gold bricks aren't out on strike. I'd liko to get my hands on thnt lame-brain who welded his lunch box on my tail section.
