on-just so you get me out of the
monotony of the Training Center"
An answer came back from this
General: He would do all he could,
he would even forget the court mar
tial, but men were necessary in the
training centers. Even with these
kind words, it appeared that my
cause was lost. Then, when the flu
ture looked worse than at any time
in my life, a telephone call came
from Washington, from Colonel.
"Have you ever flown four
engine ship?"
/ answered Immediately: eyes,
Sir" ! had flown one for a very
few minutes, at least I'd flown it in
spirit while standing behind the pilot
and co-pilot-but that was the only
time I'd ever been in the nose. or in
the cockpit of Flying Fortress. His
next question was, "How many
hours have you flown it?" told him
eleven hundred; there was no need
to tell story unless it was a good
one, and after all, / considered this
a white kind of liza white lie that
was absolutely necessary if was
to get to war.
After giving this information /
went back to waiting with my hopes
way up. One night in early March,
1912, they came true - and to me
they read like fairy tale, too good
to be true. was to comply with
them Immediately, reporting to a
field in the Central States. There
would receive combat instructions
from the leader of our mission.
As I drove over from Victorville
to my home in Ontario that evening,
it seemed as though / was already
in the air-adventure had come at
last. Even then the fear tugged at
my heart that the orders would be
changed before could start. I told
my wife that / was going to COM
bat, but the nature of the orders for
babe my telling her where, or what
type of mission. Not even at the
look Of pain that crossed her face
did lose my feeling of victory. She
was trying to act happy, but ! knew
it was only because she remem-
bered that I wanted duty in combat.
That night I began to pack hastily,
resolving at the same time to take
my wife and little one-year-old
daughter back towards Georgia,
where they could be among rela-
tives. AS packed and arranged for
the furniture to be shipped ! still
had my exalted feeling of victory.
When I got into bed, very late, I
thought / would drop right off to
sleep. But as my mind relaxed for
the first time after the orders had
been received, I felt myself come
to complete wakefulness. ! even
sat up in bed, for ] had realized for
the first time what had done.
Here was my home, with the two
people whom I loved more than
any others in all the world-my wife
and my little girl. Here, in this
wonderful place, I could possibly
have lived out the war, behind a
good safe desk at Victorville or
some other training field. By my
love of adventure, by my stubborn
nature, ! had talked myself out of
this soft and wonderful job Of stay

Arlington Chamber Asks
For Larger Post Office

The Arlington Chamber of Com
merce yesterday recommended to
Walter S. Myers, Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General, that plans be
made Immediately to enlarge the
Arlington post Office to meet the
needs of a population as large as
$50, 900.
The chamber pointed out that
Arlington's population and post
Office business have trebled since
the present building was occupied
in 1887. The appeal was based on
a survey of Arlington's postal facili-
ties by special committee. The
'county's population is now esti-
mated at more than 100000.
The tremendous increase in busi-
ness, the chamber said. and the
necessity for larger operating per-
sonnet has definitely indicated "the
inadequacy Of the present floor

Two-Year Increase
OF S2,140,101 Sought
For Maryland Schools
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 22.-Budget
increases of 1921 1862 in 1916 and ST.
318,63e in 1947 have been requested
by the State Education Department
to provide for increasing high schoo
enrolment and an expected "ab.
normal first-grade enrolment,
Walter N. Kirkman, director of tn.
budget, said yesterday.
The budget submitted by Thomas
G. Pullen, jr., State superintendent.
OF schools, Mr.. Kirkman said, fixed
the needs of the system at S9, ,427 .92l
for 1916 and s9,925, ,O9S for 1947. The
1s45 appropriation is ss.606, ,459.
In explaining the requested in
crease, DR.. Pullen said he believed
high school enrolment in 1946 will
have reached its prewar level, and
estimated there would be a 20 per
cent increase in flrst-grade enroll
ments in each of the next two years
because of the greatly-increased
birth rate since 1887.
In addition, he called attention to
the fact that money for the purchase
of buses, which cannot be obtained
now, was included in the budget
figures.
The teacher retirement fund ap-
preparation was fixed at 81, l,597,0l1
for 1916, and 81 $685. for 1947. The
increase was attributed by DR..
Pullen to equalization of salaries.
The elimination of tuition in the
four teachers colleges caused an in
crease to $640,539 for 1916, and $685.
947 for 1947, against the $524, 400
appropriation this year.
Other increases included: Voca-
tional rehabilitation, from the pres
ent $50,808 to s77,500; equalization
fund, frot s2,366, ,7ss to s2,7s2, AT for
1916, and $3,17l,775 for 1s47: admin
istrative expense, now s64,161. to

knocked out, stagger for moment,
and then disappear earthWard.
That sort of thing makes you
stop and think. 1t made me super
stitious, I guess. Never again have
I gone out of my way to try to cover
the local angle"
It was soon after that experience
that the big spring offensive in
Italy got under way. Mr.. Noyes
went along with the 5th Army and
picked up a local angle" headline
without having to go out of his way
for it when he accompanied force
led by Brig. Gen. Robert T. Fred
erick of 5801 Thirty third street
NV, into Rome.
Covered Parachutists.
Later, he covered the entry of
Allied parachutists into Southern
France, found time to interview
Gertrude Stein where she had hid
den in the South of France from
the Nazi invaders. and went with
Task Force Butler" on a foray
behind the German lines before re-
turning to Rome. Still later, he
was the only correspondent accom-
panying British forces into Albania.
He returned to Italy from that ex-
pedition in time to 60 with another
British force into Greece and write
of the liberation of Athens.
Mr.. Noyes saw lot of the war
in the Mediterranean before he
started writing about it. He left
job on the editorial staff of The
Star in November, 1912, to go over
seas as an ambulance driver with
the American Field Service. On an
old Egyptian liner he travelled for
IS days from New York to Suez.
After six months with the British
9th Army in Syria, his ambulance
unit drove from Damascus to Egypt
and across much of Africa to Trip
oil, from where they went into Italy
with British units in the 5th Army
arriving in Naples a few days after
it was taken from the Germans.
After service with the British
forces in bitter fighting across the
Volturno River and northward in
Italy, Mr.. Noyes' time in the Amer
ican Field Service was up last Feb
ruary and he asked The Star for
his job back, and became a war cor
respondent in Naples. He soon went
back to covering fighting, by Amer
ican forces this time, in the same
area where he had served as an
ambulance driver.
