First Shipment Os War Dead In October Bodies From Hawaii Arrive Next Month Escorted deliveries of an estimated 37.000 casketed remains of middle-western servicemen who were killed overseas in World War II will begin late in October with the arrival in Chicago of nearly 500 bodies from Hawaii, Lt. Col. Carroll J. Grinnell, chief of the Chicago distribution center of the American graves registration division, has announced . Col. Grinnell added that although no remains would be returned to next of kin for final burial during the holiday season — December 18 to January s—a steadily increasing flow of deliveries will be made during November and early December. The peak load of deliveries will be reached during the fall of 1948. Each of the remains will be accompanied by a specially selected escort from the branch of the service in which the deceased man or woman served. These escorts are now being assigned and will report for duty the first week in October. The acquisition of a fleet of 40 former army ambulances, now converted into mortuary vehicles, will greatly speed the delivery of remains from the Chicago center, as the vehicles will be utilized for deliveries within an approximate 100 mile area of Chicago. It is estimated that one out of three bodies will be returned via these government cars. Rail transportation will be used for more distant points. o Roberta Frye Now Makes Screen Debut Roberta Frye, 10-year-old granddaughter of Tom Railing, formerly of Decatu' if making her screen debut as a baby ballerina in ‘ The Unfinished Davce.” She is a daughter of Mr.and Mns.
