Hood College graduate Grace Underwood, who planned missionary work in Seoul, will join former Hood teacher Miss Marsha Reddick as a recreation director with the U S Army in Tokyo. She crossed the Pacific last November to join her father Dr Horace H Underwood in Seoul, but war constraints sent her to Tokyo where she now helps manage refugee relief and support medical and civilian efforts behind the lines.

Her brother Dick earned the Bronze Star for river swimming during the Inchon operation.
