Carpen | ter, of Franklin, Is serving with | the 232nd Ordnance Tire com pany in Manila, P. I., as a tire repairman, according to word received here from the army. Sgt. Carpenter entered the army at Camp Croft, S. C., Oc tobeis 12, 1942. Prior to his de parture for overseas duty last September, he worked at the atomic bomb research plant at Oak Ridge, Term. Two brothers have already returned to the States under the readjustment plan, while a third, Ed Carpen ter, Rm 3/c, is still in the navy. Sgt. Carpenter was a teacher before he entered the Army.

Attend a court hearing; to determine if she is eligible to be naturalized. As for children born abroad: If the father is 21 or over, his child is a citizen at birth, provided, however the father had lived in the xlnited States 10 years, five years of which were after attaining the age of 16. This exception would apply only in a few cases, since serv vice in the armed forces is counted as residence. If the father is under 21, his child must be naturalized. When the alien mother is naturalized, the chilli in most cases will automatically become an Amer ican citizen. Of the estimated 5,000 alien wives of service men already in the country, few have been here long enough to apply for natur alization. The Justice depart ment expects the big onslaught to start in February, 1948, two _years after mass arrivals begin.
