unusual effort to allay the fears
naturally to be felt by families of
these men. AS matter of fact,
when this correspondent asked
about the possible need for more
men to be sent to the area, Somer-
veil added:
"There will be some more sent out
there in the Pacific. If any more
combat troops go they will have a
portion of ASF troops going along
with them"
Later during the conference, Maj
Gen. c.. P. Gross, chief of transpor-
tation, said that at the time of the
ending of hostilities IA transports
were en- route from Marseilles to
Manila by way of the Panama canal
but that 13 of these were redirected
to ports in the United States to
allow the men furloughs before pro.
ceeding. The one ship allowed tC

service troops who will be used tc
supplement forces already at work
on construction in the Pacific.

Maj. Gen. Joe N. Dalton, deputy

steps in connection with return OF

point out that Negro counselors are
