hey now that we've seen the manner of his arrival I wonder what Mr smch will have to say to [Music] [Applause] us Jack spch has just signed his name to a new chapter in the annals of aviation history as his tiny dragonfly 2 monoplane touched down safely after an historic round the world non-stop flight Jackie's first words on arrival were it's great to be home but a proud America will have to wait a day or two before clutching the lone Aviator to her bosom smurch collapsed after leaving his plane and was rushed to a private hospital where he is recovering slowly [Music] la [Music] secretary secretary Jackie smch is still suffering from exposure but the brave lad's making the best of it I'm afraid for the time being a press conference is out of the question excuse me [Applause] hello I'm April Duffy I understand you have Jack smch staying here no ma'am that's just a rumor well uh I suppose I should explain to you that I am Jack's fiance you and about a hundred others you know it's really quite a sham that he can't know I'm here as I'm sure he would recover a lot more rapidly if if he knew that I was on the cus look lady there's nobody named smurch at this Hospital thank you so much you're a wonderful person [Music] [Music] exposure exhaustion convalescing for a whole week where is he why won't they let anybody see smge perhaps he doesn't respond well to suggestions concerning his personal grooming gentlemen I don't believe that you appreciate the gravity of the situation just now smurch is resting quietly but when the world clamorous to lionize him breaks down that sick room door to haul him into the Limelight will that pitiless glare reveal a man mentally and morally equipped to cope with his own prodigious Fame Mr smch these distinguished representatives of the nation's press have been selected to interview you glad to see you you guys can tell the whole cockeyed world that Jack smch put one over on that cream puff limberg and made a ass out of them two frogs Mr smurch and his lighthearted way refers to the Gallant French aviators who just last month were tragically lost at sea two less frogs that's bad anyway it's just like them frogs to go up there and get lost hey maybe they had a date with AIA air heart Mr Smur there are there are accepted formulas for referring to distinguished persons as those of foreign nationality the hell would that Mac I threw that plane not you ain't nobody done what I did I got what it takes and I'm talking about it Mr SMI merch what did you take along in the way of Provisions Mr smurch took ham sandwiches on nutrient bread with several quarts of milk milk I ain't interested in nothing brood in no cow's belly I took along a gallon of Jin never would have made it without it also salami and 10 plugs of slug brand tobacco s l u what was it like spanning the continent without once setting down d damn doll I mean what do you see a field a few waves a few cities now me I like to look at a Dame with big Health merch and a nice right Mist merch which brings me listen M I'm supposed to be your guest right so how come I don't get to go outside how come no visitors huh I mean there ain't nothing wrong with me that fresh air and female company won't cure you write that down hands off paa in view of Jackie's condition we have prepared for each of you a press kit containing photographs a biographical fact sheet and statements we may reasonably assume smurch would have made had he not been suffering from stress and nervous exhaustion thank you for your Cooperative patriotism modest hero shrugs off bold exploit I fear my achievement has been somewhat exaggerated Jackie smurch said today from his Hospital sick bed the conditions I endured were as nothing compared to the Gallant French aviators who tragically lost their lives last month Mr smid think of the press as an old mother think of America as the news hungry infant she bottle feeds she knows the formula works why vary it and give the child indigestion perhaps we have retouched the facts a trifle but given Jack smge is that so bad retouch is the right word for this Photograph you can't even recognize it charity Mr SM charity we're
