Show Truman to Send Unification Plan To Congress Soon WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (U.R) President Truman will send congress con-gress legislation early next week to carry out his, compromise plan for unification of the aimed forces Informed quarters said today. The legislation was worked out by Maj. Gen. Lauris Norstad, war department director of plans and operations, and Vice Adm. For rest Sherman, deputy chief of naval operations. A spirited fight was in prospect in the senate over which com mittee would handle the bill. Both the armed forces committee and the committee on executive expenditures claim jurisdiction. The legislation will include provisions for: 1. A separate air force, on an equal footing with the army and navy. 2. A new "secretary of national defense" in the cabinet, replacing the secretaries of war and navy. 3. Separate departments of army, navy and air forces, each headed by a secretary of non-cabinet non-cabinet rank. All would be under the secretary of national defense. 4. The navy to keep its marine corps and its own aviation but to coordinate air operations with the separate air force. 5. Joint chiefs of staff made up of the military chiefs of each of the three services. 6. A full-time joint army-navy-air force staff of not more than 100 officers. 7. A council of national defense, a security resources board and a central intelligence agency. Congressional reaction to the plan has been largely favorable, although some members have criticized its failure to wipe out all duplication. Military leaders have admitted that it would not bring about a quick cut in defense de-fense expenditures. PROVO, UTAH COUNTY, UTAH,': FTUDAYTEBRUARY 14, 1947 i ' . ... Liberty Ships To ReturivWar Dead This Summer Fen- Burial SAN FRANCISCO (U.R) A somber gray liberty ship will ar rive at San Francisco's port of embarkation in mid-August, and from it will be removed the first of a long and solemn line of flag-covered flag-covered pine boxes. It will be the beginning of the second redeployment the return of the men "who didn't come back." At approximately the same time an identical ship, with colors at half mast, will arrive in New York harbor from Europe. Appropriately, the first of the Pacific war dead to return to their native soil will be the men who fell at Pearl Harbor on the "day of infamy," and who have since rested in Hawaii's seven military cemeteries. The pattern of the reburial program will follow closely the path of the campaign from Pearl Harbor to the Solomons, Australia, Aus-tralia, New Guinea, the Marshalls, Gilberts. Guam, Philippines, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and finally Japan itself. Program Already Started To prepare the way for the return of the 73,816 known Pacific Paci-fic war dead, the government today to-day has its reverent program in full swing. In the Pacific, army graves registration teams are at work on the exacting task of identifying each body as it is prepared for shipment from the 53 army, navy and marine corps temporary cemeteries Here on the Pacific coast, several v liberty ships are being converted to carry their grim cargoes. Scores of former hos pital trains are being refitted to carry the thousands of bodies from distribution centers to their final resting places. At the Oakland, Cal., army base, part of the San Francisco port of embarkation, a , receiving pier is being built at which the ships will discharge their burdens. bur-dens. At Oakland also a 'distribution 'distribu-tion center will be erected one of 15 such centers to be built at strategic locations in all parts of the nation, from which the caskets will be dispatched to their ultimate destinations. Four Choices of Burial The next of kin of the dead heroes will "be given four choices in the matter of reburial: 1. They may have-the bodies returned to the United States, or to any U. S. territory or possession, posses-sion, for interment in a private cemetery. 2. The remains may be interred in a permanent United States military cemetery overseas (in Hawaii or the Philippines for the Pacific war dead). 3. The remains may be returned return-ed to a foreign country, the homeland home-land of the deceased or next of kin, for private burial. 4. The remains may be returned to the United States for interment inter-ment in a national cemetery. The government will pay all j costs of. transportation, will provide pro-vide a steel casket, and will pay!
