Patton Jr., hoping he was on his way to "fight the Japanese," flew from the Bed ford airport for Los Angeles to day taking off before most of the million people who gave him a hero's welcome yesterday had left their homes for their work. The dynamic, gun-toting chief of the invincible third army stirred by the welcome of his adopted state upon his first re turn to tne united Mates from the war in Europe, told news men, "I sincerely hope I fight the Japanese. The general was accompanied by Mrs. Patton. They will stop at Denver, Colo., where they will be accorded a reception. 'My ambition," he said in an interview, "is to get to the Pa cific, but it may not be fulfilled." He declined politely to amp lify his remark but said "a gen eral officer can not be quoted as to the possibilities of his as signments." The 59-year-old four star gen eral talked briefly with news men after one of the most tu multuous receptions in the city's history. Patton said he hoped to get week or 10-day leave which he would like to SDend with his sister in Los Angeles. There is a little church out there where I was baptized and confirmed," he said. "God has been very good to me and I'd like to go there to give thanks to Him." The church is St. Gabriel's Episcopal church. Patton said it was hard for him to talk about the third army because when I started out on the third army I got incoherent." Patton also praised the "mag nificent reception" given him by the people of Massachusetts.
