KUP'S COLUMN
It happened to TV cameramen, setting up for a film interview with Col. Dean Hess, who is in town for the opening of his movie, "Battle Hymn," Thursday at the Chicago Theater. The cameramen knocked on the Presidential Suite of the Sheraton-Blackstone and were greeted by a man wearing a robe and smoking a cigar. "We're here for you TV interview, colonel," they explained. . . . "Colonel?" demanded the hotel guest. He then identified himself---Gen. Lucius Clay (ret.). The cameramen were four-floors , and four ranks, too low!
