The Nays Io-Winged Doctor

By Ted L. Taylor
REOST military pilots are
WI proud to wear one set
Of wings, but Comdr. Norman
Lee Barr Of the Nays Med
ical Corps has so many he's
embarrassed to display them.
Five pairs can legally adorn
his chest.
Lean and quick, the 44-year-
old native Mississippian has
qualified as a naval aviator,
Navy flight surgeon, Air Corps
aviator, Air Corps observer
and Air Corps fight surgeon.
For a spare and added con-
yersation piece, he has a pair
of furnished commercial aerial
insignia.
So far, no one has come
forward to dispute the resi-
dent of 1926 Quebec street
NV. as the most be-winged
military airman in the world.
Pair of wings No. was
awarded by the Air Corps In
1929 after graduation from
Kelly Field, Tex. Following
stints as a fighter and bomber
pilot, he passed all tests for
flight observation and drew
his second set Of wings. An
interest in medicine, eventu-
ally paving the way for more
wings, developed while he was
stationed in Panama after his
Texas tour of duty.
Making a landing at Camp
Ell Volcan, Costa RIGA, on a
routine patrol mission, he
learned of an injured Army
corporal. The victim had a
pierced throat. Torn tissues
were slowly strangling him
and no medical assistance
was available.
Pilot Barr used a pocket
knife to open the soldiers
throat and inserted a reed to
allow breathing. Returning
to Panama, he snapped his
single seat plane for a light
bomber and flew back to Ell
Volcan. Under hazardous
night conditions, he trans
ferred the patient to a Canal
Zone hospital and earned a
letter of commentator for
his efforts.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-02-17

Resigning from the Army a
year later, he became chief
pilot for Isthmian Always,
flying over and around the
Andes. Unable to forget his
life-saving experience in Costa
RIGA, he decided on an aero
medical career in 1888 and
entered Georgetown Univer-
sity School of Medicine. An
other four years and he took
the title of doctor.
An internship and commits
sion in the Navy was followed
by study at the Air Corps
Flight Surgeon School. He
qualified as AN Air Corps
fight physician in 1889 be-
cause no similar Navy school
existed. He gained his final
pair of wings, gold variety,
on graduation from the newly
opened Navy Flight Surgeon
School, Pensacola, Fla, and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-02-17

on qualification as a naval
aviator.
On duty with the Medicine
Division of the Nays Bureau
of Medicine and Surgery, he
mixes desk chores with med
ical test hops. Specifically,
he's involved in research and
his latest jaunt took him to
Alaska for a cold-weather
test.
Comdr. Barr has logged over
1000 hours as a first pilot
and 10000 as a second pilot
and observer. Veteran former
pilots of the fiattops Wasp,
Shanghai and Antietam
remember him as their
"SawboneS."

common sense, grammar and
everything else"
Has Memorized Draft.
Col. Levie, a 1890 graduate of
Cornell University Law School who
has 10 years service in the Army
has practically memorized the
armiStice draft.
Ask him to give the provisions
Of paragraph SO and he will tell
you quickly that it says, Seriously
sick and seriously injured prison
ers of war shall be repatriated
with priority"
Col. Levie's colleagues on the
U. N. command delegation will
readily agree he is one of the most
brilliant officers participating in
the negotiations.
AS staff officer. he has at
tended almost all of the parleys
and more than once his alertness
has paid off in whispered advice
to U. N. delegates confronted with
vague and often puzzling state
ments by Red negotiators.
Col. Levie's work has not only
been confined to staff officer
duties. Indeed, he has become

Dozens Argue at Ponmunjom,
But One Man Is Writing Pact
Legal Officer Has
No Precedent for
Wording He Uses
BY the Associated Press

MUNSAN, Korea. April IA
Dozens of voices have harangued
more than nine months in trying
to reach an armistice in Korea,
but the truce agreement itself is
being written mostly by one man.
He is 1t. Col. Howard S. Levie,
legal officer of the Allied truce
delegation. This good-natured,
44-year-old New Yorker is charged
with writing the actual words of
the document that will be signed
when-and fan agreement is
reached.
For this task Col. Levie can
draw on no precedent.
