FINAL H0k0RS FOR DECEASED VETS OF ATTU ENGAGEMENT
Legion, VFW Honor Guard Escort for Seven Bodies
 Arriving on Louise

The remains of six veterans of World War II and one civilian who lost their lives on the Aleutian Island of Attu during hostilities with Japan were brought to Ju- neau aboard the Canadian Pacific liner Princess Louise Saturday eve ming, when the bodies were met by an honor guard from Juneau Post 4, The American Legion. and Post 5559 Veterans of Foreign Wars
 These bodies had recently been removed from temporary burial plots on Attu and transported to Seattle aboard USAT Honda Knot. There they were transshipped to Vancouver, British Columbia, where the caskets were taken aboard the Princess Louise.
 Escorting the bodies to their destination were S-1 /cl. William C. Hundley and S-1 /cl Joe O. Ye- ouras, Post Detachment, Fort Law ton, Wash.
 Sergeant Hundley reported that while other remains had arrived in the port of Seattle for burial in the continental United States, these were tlie only bodies, so far, received in Seattle and again ship ped by vessel away from that port.
 Six For Sitka
 The bodies of five veterans and one civilian were taken aboard the M. s. Donjac for the final journey to the Sitka National Monument, while the seventh body was escort ed to the Charles w. Carter Mort uary in Juneau, to rest until the last rites are performed, and the body transmitted for burial in the Evergreen Cemetery at Juneau.
 The remains of Theodore J. Doo- gan, Private, first class, whose home was with his parents in Douglas is the one who is buried locally. The five veterans trans mitted to Sitka are:
 Corporal Melvin o. Elledge, Pri- vate Earl H. Huling, Private John J. Niedermayer, Private James A. Pensyl, Private Bill w. Richardson, and Corporal Herbert M. Schan. The civilian who lost his life on Attu in line of duty during the war period is Elisha Marshall
 Sergeant Hundley explained fur ther, that bodies are returned only upon request of the nearest rela- tives. However, the burial on At tu was temporary, and where re- latives do not ask for return of bodies of their loved ones, it is a national policy to remove them from these temporary sites, and give the final resting place in the nearest National Cemetery. The one in Sitka is the only National Monument west of the Mississippi, and is the most northerly na- tional military burial ground in North America.
 The Donjac made the voyage on Sunday and the bodies were to be met at Sitka with full military honors and appropriate ceremonies
 American Legicn members assist ing in the transfer of the caskets were: Chester Zenger, Commander; John Tanaka, Senior Vice Com mander; Waino Hendrickson, Ed ward L. Keithahn, Alfred L. zeng- CT, Sr., Service Officer; Ted Smith,
