Packed Frisco tries to cheer transient Santa
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18 — (U.R*—The red tape of army life looked like the red suit of Santa Claus today. ,
For 7477 servicemen just returned from overseas and forced to stay aboard their "hotel ships,” the San Francisco port of embarkation did everything but except present gifts.
The men were aboard the transports Santa Monica, American Legion, Leonard Wood and Cottle. The bay area’s two procession centers are too jammed with other returnees to accommodate the new groups.
Army finance officers swarmed aboard the four ships to give the men partial payments as pocket change. Passes were given to permit the servicemen to spend the night in San Francisco.
Within eight hours, starting from scratch, the army transformed a pier office into a large, gleaming post exchange, stocked with everything the men might want.
