BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

War has placed some 5000 lepers
and several hundred doctors and At
tendants on the Philippine island Of
Culion, largest leper colony in the
world, In imminent danger Of star
walton. Since the island Is only part
tillable and less than half Of the
leper population Is physically able to
work, the colony has been dependent
on the outside world for food and
other supplies.
A cable January II from DR.. H.
Windsor Wade, medical director Of
the Leonard Wood Memorial (Amer-
ican Leprosy Foundation) on the
island, which is about $50 miles
south of Manila in the China Sea
begged for its designation as q
neutral zone and warned that its in
habitants faced "an appalling pros
pect" The plea for neutrality was
made because American processing
machinery on the Culion slopes dis
tills fro mthe chaulmoogra nut q
very large percentage Of the chaul-
moogra oil used extensively in leper
treatment-and Japan has her
lepers. too.
Among the American medical men
who face a grim future with their
marooned families, unless Red Cross
supply ships are permitted to land
at Culion, are DR.. John Hanks,
formerly Of this city, his wife and
their two sons, John and James.
John was 10 last December. James
will be in April.
Previous to going to the colony as
chief of the bacteriology depart
ment of the foundation, DR.. Hanks
was for six years a bacteriologist at
the George Washington University.
The late DR.. Earl Baldwin Mckinley,
then dean of the medical school and
greatly interested in research look
ing toward the cause and cure Of
leprosy, was instrumental in having
him 60 to Culion to work on the
problem.
Sister Lives Here.
Mrs. Hanks Is the sister Of Donna
King Harris Qdrs James r. Harris)
an employe Of the National Geo.
graphic Society. Among the many
friends of the Hanks family in
George Washington University cir
cles who have corresponded with
the Hanks during their Philippine
sojourn are Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert
L. Hall. residents of the Philippines
themselves during their early mar
ried life.
Mrs. Harris has received no direct
word from the Hanks family since
letter, mailed in October, told of
their plan to leave Culion in Janu-
ary for Manila. There they expected
to shop and to make other arrange
ments for their homeward journey
here this April.
