SCRAMBLE INTERVIEW
MISS LEE YAH CHING
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18TH

MONROE: Here with us tonight is a very beautiful young woman from a land that seemed pretty far away, B. A. - Before Aviation. Now, her country is not much more than an overnight plane hop, by air travel. She started her pilot hours with training in Europe, and later at a California aviation school. Junior Air Reserve Cadets and all Americans -- meet China's First Lady of the Air -- Miss Lee Yah-Ching!!

(APPLAUSE)

LEE: Thank you, Bob, and I am glad to say hello to so many American boys and girls all at once.

MONROE: They're glad you can, Miss Lee. But what's this I hear about your falling out of a plane when you were training in California.

LEE: It was very funny. I was taking instructions on aerobatics with my instructor, and we were doing some barrel rolls, when the plane was upside down my safety belt came losse, and I fell out.
