WIVES OF U.S. SERVICEMEN
ARRANGEMENTS FOR TRANSPORT
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 20. Wives of United States servicemen who have not their husbands* transport requests, which would enable them to leave New Zealand, but who are still married, may now go to America on payment of their own fares. On production of the husband’s discharge certificates and marriage licences, such wives will now be granted passages to America. Seven wives are ready to make use of the new arrangement However, it will probably be January or March next will be able to leave. A deposit of a substantial bond will not be necessary, as this applies only to fiancees of United States servicemen. Announcing the new scheme, the president of the New Zealand Eagles Club (Mrs Sviatko) said it was still hoped that it might be possible to arrange free transport for wives.
