Allen well if you have don't have anything to do with anything mr. James you must be far less inactive in government service we don't want to mislead you doesn't have anything to do with the parks or a natural phenomena oh I thought I was inclined to who I think that it took in everything in activity at its peak but tell me do you do you wear a uniform when you were when you were function yes you do are you in close proximity to some executive building there or governmental building well I would say that and I think mr. J's might agree that it's reasonable to suspect that he might be in some proximity to property improved or otherwise owned by the federal government you say yes yeah well I tell you mr. king mr. James this is your first appearance on this show isn't it yes and this is my first appearance on and we can save a laugh a lot of time if you just tell me what you do - are you associated with any branch of the Armed Services yes would it be the army no or down in six to go mister sir well it gives me a rough idea that we may be circling around the Air Force right you want something you do with the Air Force what am i a fool oh I should have included that immediately you wear a uniform is it the uniform of an enlisted man or officer in the Air Force yes it is the uniform of no I have to guess well judging by your intelligent approach I hope you're an officer are you yes are you an officer in the airports well there are lots of officers in the Air Force but no this is true you know what what is what now you want to know what office area even go so far as tell you but this is Major James now what does he do uh have you got anything to do do you ever leave the ground in your job yeah is that a regular part of your job yes do you then pilot some kind of craft yes I think that that's that it doesn't matter yep Jeb is right actually to get the record straight Major James is the commander of the 437 fighter-interceptor squadron that's based up here at Otis field right and by the way he flew a hundred and one combat missions in Korea and I just well panel you made a very good beginning tonight aided and abetted by Fred Allen sitting there charging up and down the basically we do with our second challenger would you sign increase sir Benjamin where are you promised Kenny Richmond he'll New York Richmond Hill New York well that's nice to have you here with us is Richmond Hill is that on Staten Islanders no sure sound longer on Long Island well I'll move i'll pack and get out of town I guess I've done it well would you go over and let the panel get a look at you two please sir Kenny welcome to America mr.

Kenney mr. Kenney view deal in services now is when I should quit you do these services involve both of the sexes or our link are you inclined to or favor one sex with the service that you perform hold everything you want to ask one question there at which one you want to make the last question the right question I wanted to get out early John if you're going to do these services appeal more to women huh they do well I wait a minute the question was do these services appeal well no sexist which section the women avail themselves of mr. kinis services more than men do yes I would say they did well having watched this show for so long and realizing that there was no reaction to what mr. Kenney said I assume that what you do involves women is that true yes it is in a vague way that you're sure you know what you do because you're defensive well in the process of accomplishing these services do you change the woman's appearance I would think Fred that you may disagree with me later on but I think we'll have to give you a no on that there is no substantive change in the woman's appearance as a result of his particular service I see if I gave you a yes it would mislead you and I know you wouldn't want me to mislead you so we did you know all right don't mislead me whatever what thousand nine to go miss Perry mr.
