nls To Go
jwerseas When All
Details Are Made
if WASHINGTON (UP) - The
war department has good news
§ for our soldiers abroad and
* their families at home.
The department reveals that
dependents may join soldiers in
all overseas areas, including Eur-
ope and the Pacific, as soon as
they can be provided with ade-
quate housing, food and medical
care.
Travel of dependents to Eur-
ope is expected to start after
April 1st. and to the Philippines,
.lappn. Korea and the Ryukyus
after May 1.
The project, however, is sub-
ject to the approval of theater
commanders.
None of the department
funds will he spent to con-
struct housing for depend-
ents overseas. And applica-
tions for transportation of
families abroad must be
made by the soldiers individ-
ually. Troops will be advised
by their own commander*
when they may apply for
such transportation.
Rank pf the men in service
will not be a factor in choosing
who will go first. But certain
priorities will lie observed.
The first chance will be exten-1
ded to families of military per-
sonnel and war department civ-
ilian employees who are willing
to remain overseas two years.
The second priority will go to'
dependents of those who indi-
cate they are willing to stay at
least one year, but less than two
years.
Within these two brackets, rel-
ative priority will l>e given to
the families of those who have
had the longest overseas ser-
vice.
However, according to law, the
government will pay the trans-
portation cost - only for the de-
pendents of officers and the first
three grades of enlisted men.
others will have to foot the hill
themselves.
