Army to speed internees’ names
WASHINGTON (UP) – Names of American internees rescued in Manila will be transmitted to Washington by the Army and released here by the War Department as rapidly as they can be compiled.
No names had been received up to noon today, and the War Department doubt that any would be received until tomorrow or later, due to the time required for making up the list in Manila.
It was expected that the process of transmitting the names from Manila to Washington would necessarily extend over several days.
The War Department plans to release the names in groups, as they become available, immediately after it has dispatched notification telegrams to the next of kin.
