0m THE REGISTER.NEWS MT VERNON. ILLINOIS In Hollywood BY BKBKINTB JOHNSON NBA Staff Correspondent To Hi fid Korean Jaunt Falls alt Hope's Rapid Pace OLLYWOOD (NEA) I watched Bob Hope "relax" at Palm Springs during the 24 hours following the gruelling month's entertainment tour of Korea. I'm exhausted. Hope Feelt Great The comedian and 14 Air Crewmen who flew him 22,000 miles hopped to Palm Springs four hours after their return to Los Angeles airport. Hope stopped In Hollywood only long enough to kiss his wife and kids, talk to the press and change clothes.

Mayor Charley Farrell, Gsorge JeBsel, Bill Dunkerley of the Chamber Commerce, Police Chief Gus Kettman and a delegation of citizens were at the airport to meet the two big, oil-splattered Air Force planes. "1 hear he's ready to collapse," lessel whispered to me as the lead plane tarried to a stop. The door of the plane opened snd a grinning Hope stepped out, swinging a golf elub. lie looked like a man who had spent a not too-hard day at his office instead of a fellow who had played 54 In SO days to 600,000 troops. A few hours later Hope was whooping it up with his Air Force tang at the Racquet Club along with a Hollywood mob who had come down for the opening of the plush Palm Springs season.

We were limp from exhaustion most of the time but he always was on his feet. He comes out of a half hour nap looking like a man who has had 10 hours sleep.

I'll never forget our visit to an Army hospital In Japan. We were all Rnconscious except Hope. There were 1000 bed Hope didn't miss a bed." The major remembered another vivid grim-faced troops who had waited an hour and a half on a muddy field for the Hope show. "There wasn't a smile when we arrived. Then Bob started tossing quips at 'em.

Those grim faces ilowly broke into laughing faces, I almost cried." Hope's return added excitement to the official opening of the Palm Springs season.
