 But, Helen, suppose I don't get another job? Suppose this plan of ours fizzles? Neither Buck nor will have a job"

 Helen released him then and was silent. From the center of town the courthouse clock chimed once. Eleven thirty. Carried by gust of wind, dead leaves rattled down the quiet street. Bill held the letter near the mail slot, his hand trembling.
 He had never deliberately gone against Bucks wishes. He had always accepted the older mans judgment as final Suppose he didn't mail the letter and they had to accept help? Charity! Bill shuddered. Buck would hate that

 Helen pointed toward the Men- tor cottage. Look, Bill. Doesn't that help you to decide?"
 The door had opened, and Buck Mentor stood in the wedge of light, supported by canes. His big body, clean -limbed and powerful, seemed poised for escape. Then, suddenly, his shoulders dropped and he turned to go inside. By the door they caught a glimpse of his invalid chair.
 Helen said, "Bill, you can't put him in that chair for life. He's too grand"
 Bills fingers frightened around the letter, crushing 1t into a tight ball. He stuffed 1t into his jacket.
 TT can't mail 1t, Helen," he said in a choked voice.

Marshall Asks Aid
OF Public 10 Combat
Rent Hike Near CAMPS
Hopes LocoI OffieioIs
Will Act to Suppress
This Type Of Profiteering
Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Gen. George C. Marshall called
on the public last night to aid the
Army in curbing the "profiteering''
in rents on housing for officers
families.
In a radio progress report on the
defense program, the Army's chief
of staff said the Army had found
that in some localities rents at first
doubled and then, in certain areas,
tripled, apparently on the basis of
charge as much as the traffic will
bear"
Localities Not Identified.
"This situation is unfortunate and
very unfair" he said, land I can
only hope that State and municipal
authorities will bring sufficient
pressure to bear to suppress this
form of profiteering." He did not
identify the localities beyond say
ing the rent increases occurred
near Army concentration centers
which are being established In many
sections, par ticularly in the South
and Southeast.
Gen. Marshall also said the prob
lem of safeguarding the soldiers
moral and spiritual welfare was one
of outstanding Importance"
Il am talking about the problem
of handling tremendous numbers OF
young men who flood into the small
nearby communities over the week
ends, or in the evenings when their
work is done" he said, and asserted:
This situation must be brought
under control before it grows seri-
ouS"
100000 Undergoing Training.
In terse review of the defense
program, Gen. Marshall said that
in contrast to the 10000 soldiers,
Sc squadrons of combat planes and
some $500 pilots comprising the &C
tive Army year. ago, today there
are 100000 men in the field under
going intensive training, and within
very few weeks this total will ap-
proach 100000"
Instead of three incomplete in
fantry divisions, there are today 18
under training, with nine more soon
to come" he said. THE two weak
mechanical regiments have grown
into armored corps of two divisions,
each of about 10000 men. One cav
airy division has had its missing
units organized and is rapidly ap-
preaching war strength of about
$4,000 men, with second division
in process of activation. Five par
tally organized anti-aircraft regi-
ments on active duty in July year
ago have been increased to % COM
plete regiments in the field training
at the present time, with more to
report in January"
He said the air force had been
increased to 109 squadrons with
about 1000 pilots and that the train
ing of air mechanics had been
stepped up from about $500 an
nually to the rate of 5000 a year
and would reach yearly output of
10000 in a few months.
