SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he asked an Ohio museum to return his Austrian army tank because he wants to use it to give rides to schoolchildren.

Schwarzenegger, a native of Austria, said he plans to offer the rides to inner-city children as a reward for staying in school and avoiding drugs.

Warren Motts, director of Motts Military Museum, said Schwarzenegger transported the U.S.-made M47 tank to a Columbus, Ohio, shopping mall in 1999 when he opened a Planet Hollywood there, then lent the tank to the museum in 2000. “It’s been neat that we were the custodian of it,” Motts said.
