Virtually all Of these couples have

few still are In Japan and may
not be able to comply with the final
deadline of December 20.
Proposed changes IN the Soldiers
Brides Act would extend the dead
line for American personnel to bring
spouses to the United States from
December % to 1850. At the same
time. it would permit marriages be-
tween Army personnel and native
Japanese, as well as allow natural
or adopted children Of such mar
riages to accompany their parents
to the u. s.
Several hardship cases have
grown out of the original act which
made no allowance for adopted
children to accompany their par
ents to- America, these have had to
be worked out on an Individual
basis with the Naturalization and
Immigration service. However, If
the Eighty-first Congress extends
and amends the act, such cases will
be taken care of automatically.
