Richard I. Bong, the shy modest Poplar, Wis., farmboy who became Americas greatest air hero by shooting down 27 enemy planes said in an interview today that he wants to keep on warplanes even after the present conflict is ended. Grounded temporarily, Bong said there was only one thing he wanted to do get back to his job of flying more combat missions against the Japanese. When asked if he expected to be sent home to aid war bond drives and other civilian war efforts, Bong replied: My God, I hope not. Bong, chunkily built, with brown curly hair and a snub nose, looks like any other average American small town boy. He speaks in a low. soft, voice and uses words sparingly. When he was asked, for instance, if he felt nervous while fighting, he replied: flying Detachment at USAC. The review will be followed by movies taken on the Bridger hikes.

S. government will appeal to the U. S. supreme court (IT) a quash ruling against an indictment charging 12 leading Utah polygamists with conspiracy, Assistant Federal District Attorney John S. Boyden announced today. Boyden said he received a telegram from Attorney General Francis Biddle authorizing the appeal. U. S. District Judge J. Foster Symes of Denver one month ago quashed the indictment, which charged conspiracy during the past nine years to mail writings of obscene, lewd and lascivious character in that sexual offenses against society were urged and advocated. Each of six separate counts charted the mailing of a specific issue of Truth, monthly, magazine of the polygamy-advocatin- g fundamentalists. The unexpected announcement came one day before the deadline for filing of an appeal. Defendants had thought the case closed when Judge Symes ruling was announced. They literally 'rejoiced, claiming a victory in the April issue of Truth, published two weeks ago. Among the defendants was Joseph W. Musser, 61, fundamentalist leader, publisher of Truth an ardent foe of birth control. Musser was the only one of some 50 polygamists arrested in a mass, three-stat- e roundup over a month ago who faced two federal and two state charges for his activities in promoting polygamy. He was charged with conspiracy, mailing obscene literature and unlawful cohabitation with five plural STAFF SERGEANT ALLEN Flier of Hyrum Is Missing Over Germany i broadcast by Martin Hallensloben, military commentator of the official DNB news agency.
