Army & Navy – MORALE: Idea for Spring

Lieut. General Robert L. Eichelberger, veteran of the Pacific war; flew into New York last week to spend Christmas with his wife Em, made a suggestion which Army wives everywhere overheard. Said General Eichelberger, recently appointed boss of U.S. occupation forces in Japan:

“I’ve recommended that the wives of officers and enlisted men of the first three grades be permitted to join their husbands in Japan. . . . Plenty of room on the ships going to Japan. . . . Maybe it can be arranged by spring.”
