Of ependents
BY the Associated Press

The Navy plans to bring
home about 1000 of the 40,-
900 dependents Of Navy per-
sonnel overseas in the next 19
months.
The 1000 figure announced
yesterday by the Navy is we'll
below the original schedule
suggested by the Defense De-
partment after the program
was ordered by President
Eisenhower to save dollar
spending abroad by reducing
the number Of dependents Of
servicemen at overseas posts.
Defense officials originally
wanted to reduce Navy depend
ents overseas to a total Of IT,
500.
However. the Navy says
about 1000 Of the 10000 de-
pendents are exempt under its
plan. Exemptions include g.
600 dependents in the areas of
the Caribbean, Pacific, Mexico
and Canada; dependents who
on December is were full time
civilian employees of the armed
forces; dependents abroad on
tourist passports at their own
expense. and Marine Corps de-
pendents.
The Navy said the Marine
Corps always has been under
the most stringent limitations"
in taking families abroad.
An average of almost 600
dependents must be returned
home each month to meet the
schedule, with about 40 of the
monthly total dependents of
Navy civilian employees.
The Navy said it also pro-
poses to shorten overseas duty
tours for men accompanied by
their families, if necessary to
meet quotas for returning de-
pendents. and also shorten
future overseas duty tours of
men not accompanied by de-
pendents to encourage them to
leave families at home.

The alternative, he said,
would have been to disarm and
