Want to Get Away From Hard Life and Charges of lndis-
 Criminate Killings
By Associated Press

Port Au Prince, November t6.-There is no doubt of the fact that many of the 300 marines on occupation duty in Haiti home or somewhere else. It is a hard life for youngsters who are sent into mountain regions in the north, along peaks as high as Denver
 Often they are away from posts for weeks, and they declare they undergo many hardships. not the least of which is lack of ice in climate where it is absolutely essential
 Since the first session of the naval board of inquiry at Washington the ma rines have been hearing from home folks, anxious to know if they are taking part in "indiscriminate killings" This charge, first made by Maj. Gen. George Barnett. former commandant of the marine corps, and then corrected by him. has gone everywhere, marines assert, declaring that the first statement has never been oyertaken by the correction. This week S steamer brought hundreds of letters ali seeking the truth about conditions. The marines contend that they are on rough duty and then are held up at home as rough men with the gun.
 Maj. Gen Neville, member of the naval board of inquiry, inspected every part of the fighting plant here and found many things to commend, but said it was not properly equipped. This, he found, was particularly true of hospital facilities There is not an X-ray ma chine on the island and naval doctors assert they cannot provide adequate serv- ice for the sick. Appeals for help are said to have brought the answer that there were no funds Haiti is not a health resort and there is much disease.
 General Neville inspected kitchens built of bit of wood and boards from pack ing boxes. There was no way to keep out the flies in such structure. Field kitchens are in use generally.
 Put i'll requisition immediately for a new cooking outfit said the general. "If we are to be here 10 or b years we might at least have proper accom- modations,'
 The brigade commander and his staff have made every effort to keep intox- icating liquors away from the marines, but with almost every shop selling it the task is difficult Haitfs principal native drink is rum. It is wild thing. Marines who have tasted it say it is powerful enough to drive a motorcycle.
