Actor-hero expected to start home Monday
Jimmy Stewart’s parents in Indiana, Pennsylvania, staying close to telephone these days
James Stewart
Every time the phone rings at the A. M. Stewart home in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Mrs. Stewart hopes it’s Jimmy.
“It’s been a long wait for me – two years,” Mrs. Stewart said yesterday. But she disclosed that the reel hero who became a real hero and full colonel via the Eighth Air Force expects to leave England, Monday.
“I don’t know whether he’s going to fly or come by ship,” his mother said last night. “I think maybe he’s coming by water with his outfit – the Second Bomb Wing.”
But she thinks she’ll be seeing her famous son soon because she has been notified not to send any more mail to England.
The shy, gangling celebrity who entered the Army as a buck private on March 22, 1941, became operations officer of a Liberator combat wing which pounded key cities in Germany. He has been awarded the Air Medal and Oak Leaf Cluster, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and the Croix de Guerre with Palm from the French Air Force.
