overseas and the decision on
on whether their bodies are to
be exhumed and returned to the
United States is to be left to
the next of kin. Many of them
will rest forever in American
cemeteries overseas, some along

May Rebury Many Bodies
In Europe
Rowing teams will be sent
through central and southern Eu-
rope in an effort to locate the
graves of United States airmen
in Germany, Austria, Hungary,
Romania. Czechoslovakia, etc.
One of the most difficult
tasks faced is finding the graves
of the gallant men of the Unit
ed States Army Air Forces who
are buried, many of them in
anonymous graves, along the
route to Berlin, known to Amer
lean aviators during the war as
FLAX Alley"
Army authorities estimated
that upwards of $4,000 American
airmen were lost on their way
to bomb the German capital.
The chief task facing the Army
repatriation teams is to locate
the bodies of all American per-
sonnet, exhume them, and re-
bury them in centralized loca-
tions, probably in France in ex-
listing United States cemeteries,

Washington-An unknown sol

take his place in Arlington ceme-
tary alongside the nameless hero
of the first world conflict.
There . is increasing talk in
Congress of bringing home the
body of an unknown CT who
died in Europe or the Pacific.
The details are still to be work
ed out.
Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers (R)
of Massachusetts,, ranking mi
nority member of the House
veterans committee, favors
bringing home two unknown sol
diers, n from each great thea
ter of war. Others suggest that
representatives of both Army
and Navy be honored.
The task of returning to the
United States the bodies of
Americas honored dead will
probably get underway this
spring. Speeially-trained Army
groups have already been sent
to Europe to carry out the pre-
liminary work and similar
groups are en- route or will be
sent soon to the Pacific.
The House of Representatives
has authorized the appropriation
of more than 5000, 900, 900 for the
task and the legislation is pend
ing in the Senate, where speedy
action was anticipated.
Rep. Robert l.. F. Skies CD
of Florida, a member Of the
House military affairs commit
tee, declared that as many as
100000 bodies may be returned

of $500 per body. However, it
