(N.Z. Press Association) DUNEDIN, Dec. 16. The Deputy Secretary of Defence for the Army (Mr R. V. J. Johnson) is unable to supply the addresses of servicemen from Otago serving overseas because the computer holding the information cannot at present reproduce it, the executive committee of the Dunedin Returned Services’. Association was told tonight. In a letter from Mr John-
son, the committee was told that a list could not be supplied. “Normally this information would have taken little extra time to compile but our personal records are now In the process of computerisation,” he said. “One of the penalties is that the machine cannot so far produce this data, and it may be some months before the particular button is ready to be pressed.”
