About ' a month ago he became a trusty in the prison store. Then he sent word to prison Oen. Manager O. B. Ellis that be knows nothing about riding broncs or brahman bulls but he sure would like to stand the customers' hair on end at the rodeo by making a parachute jump into the arena.

SJ0075 VERN OWENS' There was no oulck reaction from the Communists. At first the Allies refused to Iden tify the flier, but later in Tokyo. Gen. O. P. Weyland. Far East Air Forces commander, said be was a North Korean. Weyland announced: The let was from a "North Ko rean air unit." It Is being studied by U. 8. Air Force officers. The Dilot's name will not be re- realed unless he personally consents. The North Korean will be grant ed asylum if he wants it. The pilot disappeared oehlnd tight wall of secrecy and Kimpo Air Base was closed to everyone but authorised military personnel. A psychological warfare colonel near Seoul said American Sabre jets met the MIO over the southern boundary of the demilitarized strip across the Korean peninsula and escorted the Red fighter to Seoul. However, the MIO apparently caught Kimpo Air Base by sur prise. A crowd scurried out to the run wav after the plane stopped. The pilot was described as short and black-haired. An American pilot who met him said the flier pulled a picture of a girl from his blue flying suit and tore it up. The American pieced together the shreds of the picture, which he said "looked like a North Korean." Col. Don P. Hall of Kingsville, Tex., commander of the 4th Fight er -Interceptor Wing, said the pilot was "smiling' and very happy it was over with.!' Kali said the MIO pilot got out of his Plane and immediately sal uted Cant. Cipriano F. Ouerra, Mission, Tex. "The captain was quite sur prised." Hall said. "He got out of his Sabre jet and walked over to the MIOIS. A crewman threw sand bags under the wheels. . . . "The MIO pilot shook hands with all the men. "The captain pointed toward the sun on the MIO and the MIO pilot turned off the switch. Air police Immediately surrounded the plane and the MIO pilot accepted ciga rettes that were offered to him by those milling around." Asked why the pilot brought the MIO. Hall quoted nim: "I'm happy to leave commu nism." -It Is believed be knew of the reward," Hall said. The pilot's first words were ret ported to be "O.K." His only other word In English was "no." Hall said his clothing was "non descript. . . . a blue-colored flying suit, a leather Jacket and light colored shin and flying boots.' The pilot was armed, but he turned over his. loaded pistol to Ouerra. Hall said the Red pilot is about 2p years old and an ol'icer. Asked what the Air Force planned to do with the MIO Hall explained: "I do not know If we will fly the MIG but we will get the most out of it.
