Atlanta Is All Set

ATLANTA, May 24.-Breakfast
bacon, new hair-do, a clean house
and a foolish red hat" were ac-
quired this week by Mrs. Courtney
Hodges as she waited the return
today of her famed general husband.
And I'll probably only have
chance to wave at him in the pa
rade, she said, after learning that
he would leave Atlanta immediately
for Washington and conferences
pending his transfer to the Pacific.
But that's part of the Army.
And it's what he wants-to be in
until the flnish," said the generals
wife, adding, But We'll have the
bacon for breakfast tomorrow. And
hes sure to like my foolish red
hat-but he's sure not to admit it."
Mrs. Hodges hasn't seen the gen.
eral for IS months. But she read
about him, as he lead the American
lst Army across France, Belgium
the Rhine and into the heart of
Germany.
And now, when she had hoped,
but not really expected" that he
would be here for a while, she
learned that he was preparing for
the Pacific campaign, along with his
veteran 1St Army.
The Perry, Ga, four star general
who rose from a private in the
ranks, was scheduled to arrive this
afternoon, accompanied by 49 other
service-striped officers and enlisted
men. The men are eligible for dis
charge, but many are expected to
follow their leader into the war
against the Japanese.
In Atlanta, heroes welcome
awaits them. Stores and schools
are closed. Thousands will throng
the streets to view the combat vet
Grams as their 40-car parade passes
slowly along f1ag-bedecked Peach

to return since We day, told re-

staff officers will accompany him

fight from the Japs, but did not
predict how long it would last. AS

said he had no tricks up my sleeve"

Hodges Corrected His Fui|inqs
In Moth Here, Cousin Says

Washington has known Gen
Courtney H. Hodges off and on since
the days back in 1905, when he came
here as STRIPPING to study mathe-
matics after he had been f1unked
out of West Point. He spent six
months here studying at a school
which specialized in coaching young
men for the military services, and
he stayed at the home of his uncle,
Charles r. Hodges, who was in the
Post Office Department.
The generals cousin, Miss Cath
crime B. Hodges. recalled today that
young Courtney Hodges chief ambi-
ton was to be in the Army. Miss
Hodges, an interior decorator with
Woodward & Lothrop, lives at 270O
@ street NV.
He always wanted to be in the
Army" she said, "and he was a
crack rife shot. AS boy at Perry
Ga, he would shoot rabbits and
raccoons with a rife.
Enlisted as Private.
Il don't know whether I ought to
tell about his failing in mathematics
at West Point, but it's well known
now He 1unked out the first year
After that he lived with us while
he went to school here. He wanted
to make up that math because he
would need it in the Army. And not
so many years later he was teach
ing mathematics at West Point"
That was the way Gen. Hodges
got back to the Military Academy
as a teacher After studying here
he enlisted as private. That was
in 1906. Miss Hodges recalls him
then as goodlooking young man
aand, like all the Hodges men. OF
medium height and slight of build
There was no family nickname for
him. They called him Courtney.
He doesn't like the name" said
Miss Hodges. Il guess he thinks
it's a little fancy. He's modest and
unassuming
He was here on one or two occa
sions at the War College and he
was last here in 1941-42, when Gen
and Mrs. Hodges lived at the Ken
edy-Warren.
Hickey Stationed Here.
1t. Gen. Lewis A. Brereton of San
Antonio, Tex, commander of the
lst Allied Air-borne Army, is one
of those arriving in Atlanta with
Gen. Hodges. Just before forma-
ton of the Air-borne Army he was
in command of the 9th Air Force. A
graduate of the Naval Academy, he
resigned from the Navy to enter
the Army.
Brig. Gen. Doyle o. Hickey, com
mander of the Sd Armored Division,
of Indianola, Miss. another of the
group, was stationed in Washington
for little over a year in the early
'30S, as head of the United States
Park Police and the protective di-
vision of the Office of Public Build
inbs and Public Parks.
