Exodus of Australia Brides
to U.S. Looms

San Francisco, Cal. (UP)

Berths will be available on the liners Monterey and Mariposa for “a large number” of American service men’s dependents, the report said. The two ships will make regular sailing until most of the service men’s dependents in Australia and New Zealand have been moved.
