'REDEpLOYMENT' WORD USED FOR
 PACIFIC PARADE
Ru EARL BERKELEY

NEW YORK -- "Redeployment," 8 conservative word chosen by the Army for the big parade to the Pacific is becoming familiar to thousands of American households. |
 It means first that sons, hus- | bands and sweethearts will be home on furlough; second. that they'll go into retraining and then turn toward the Far East The peak deployment month is August and about 100000 soldiers are being switched through New York and othe ports, straining transpor- tation facilities to the limit. The Army expects to needs 24,500 Pull man cars, 1,285 coaches and 1000 baggage cars to speed the troops home and back to assembly areas.
 To relieve the pressure the Off, ! flee Of Defense Transportation has banned the use of sleeping cars to civilians and soldiers alike who aren't going farther than 450 miles. The Association of American Railroads says it expects the ban to sick four or five months.
 The moving job is being done by the Transportation Corps of the Army Service Forces. TIC took the men overseas and TIC is bringing them back; it operates all the big ports of authorization of which New ic 1oT prf ni ic tA have the men on their way home "A to 36 hours after arrival in the United States.
 Service, cordiality and speedy trav- el is the Army's keynote. The re- turnees go first to a camp close to the port of arrival thence to the Army post nearest their home, Fur lCughs, usually of 30 days, begin ! when the men leave the post for home
 During the processing period the soldiers are fell-fed and enter , tained-"guests" of the Army for a change.
 A rousing welcome greets the men as the grey, packed troopships steam into port. Each boat is deck cd with colorful signal flags from stem to stern. All other vessels in the harbor are similarly decor atad Whistled greetings sound from every vessel in the area.
 A welcome ship, usually carrying WAC band and bevies of girls, meets the transports Huge welcom- ing signs are visible from the shores. At New York the soldiers lock first for the Statue of Liberty.
 Before the men debark in pre- arranged order, Red Cross women prepare coffee, milk, lemonade, ice cream, doughnuts, sandwiches and candy Newsmen from hometowns and the big press services fish for items among the troops.
 From New York the returnees' destination is either Camp Kilmer, near New Brunswick, N. J., or Camp Shanks, near Orangeburg, N. Y. The wounded men are transported by am
 
 ferry to railheads in New Jersey, and complete the trip by train or Lus Arriving at camps, whatever the hour, day CT night, the CT gets his first meal. It's really a meal--steak and all the trimmings, cake, pie, ice cream, milk, tea and coffee. Sec ond and even third helpings are there for the asking.
 In matter of hours the soldier ! is on his way to a station nearest 1 home, usually travelling on a troop | train with a kitchen car. Red Cross | representatives meet all trains with i the customary refreshments. Once on his own, the soldier is told | to have a good time, but don't talk | too much-the wars still on.'
