Joining Yanks Overseas Not To Be Pleasure Trip
The War Department cautions dependents planning to join soldiers overseas that the voyage is not a short pleasure tour. Dependents must stay in the theater where their servicemen are stationed, with return travel only in case of terrific emergency. First priority for overseas travel goes to wives and children whose servicemen agree to stay two years, second priority to one year. Europe travel starts after April 8, while movements to the Philippines Japan Korea and Ryukyus begin after May 1. A Pace bill would allow dependents to go overseas at government expense. current law restricts travel to dependents of officers and certain ranks, with lower ranks' dependents traveling free aboard army transports. House subcommittee chair Sikes suggests examining priority and housing overseas if the bill passes.
