Honolulu, Juse The United States Army here yı terday announced that transportation of dependents of Army pernnd and shipment of their household good to Hawaii from the mainland would be suspended until further notice, The action was taken because Army expansion had reached a point where the housing situation in Hawaii was critical and also because of the need to conserve passage and cargo space on transports for troops and defence materials, it was announced, Suspension does not mean that dependents of Army personnel can not come to Hawaii at their own expense, it was said, and the order does not affect those now living in the islands, Similar action was taken with regard to other overseas departments in the autumn of 1930 because of a lack of housing accommodation in nearby communities, the announcement recalled. However. the fact that Honolulu was able to assist in providing accommodation for surplus personnel made it unnecessary to resort to such measures in Hawaii previously.—United Press.
