By Nelson M. Shepord

| Only one unknown serviceman
of World War II will be brought
back for honored burial in Airing
ton National Cemetery beside the
Unknown Soldier of the World War.
BY agreement between the various
branches of the armed forces, the
body may be that Of a soldier, sailor
or Marine Beyond this decision,
no other definite details are avail
able now.
The announcement, coming from
the War Department late yester-
day, was significant, however, in
view of recent conjecture over the
possibility of two unknown service
men being selected for burial in
Arlington, one representing the dead
in the japanese war, the other in
the war in Europe.
The decision was revealed when
the War Department., under au-
thority granted by Congress, made
known arrangements for the re-
turn from overseas for burial in
this country of as many of the
1923, 900 American war dead as FAM
lilies may desire brought back. OF
the total number, it was said, there
were approximately $4,000 whose
bodies were not recoverable. Presi-
dent Truman has signed the bill
which sets in operation the reburial
arrangements in the Office of the
Army Quartermaster General.
From Among 1883.
The unknown serviceman whom
the Nation will be called on to pay
its highest military honors, will be
selected from the 1858 still uniden-
tilted bodies from battlefields around
the world. The quartermaster gen.
erals Office has a record of burial of
l0,760 unknowns. OF this number,
1907 have since been positively
identified. An additional 903 indi-
viduals have been identified as
within group, but not as separate
individuals. This latter category, it
was said, applies particularly to
crews of airplanes which were shot
down or crashed.
There is no indication at this time
how the selection of the unknown
iserviceman Of World War II will be
made or from what area he will be
chosen. To avoid the necessity of
making deliberate choice, officials
said the final selection may be made
in this country after the bodies of
the unknown are returned from
overseas. The other unknown will
be buried in various national ceme-
teries.
/ A shortage of steel for caskets, it
developed, may cause a delay in re-
turning the first bodies from over
seas until the end of this year.
/ The War Department has been
Informed by casket makers that they
will be unable to meet the sched-
uled requirement for shipment of
caskets to Pearl Harbor and Europe
in July because of their inability to
obtain sufficient steel for manufac-
ture. Had caskets been ready for
overseas shipment in July, the War
Department said it would have re-
turned the first bodies requested by
next of kin by mid-September.
II Present schedules anticipate the
arrival of bodies after operations
start at the rate of 1900 for the

Headquarters of the Brotherhood

Standby" agreements provide that
any benefits derived by the broth

1t was pointed out at brotherhood
