EizoIde' Filing Cabinets Hold Stories
OF FiIipinos Resident in United States
Far From Kin, They
Send Identity Data
To Commissioner

A wishing well of hopes, Sentd-
ments and prayers for Philippine
nationals in the continental United
States Is gradually building up in a
row of iron filing cabinets in the
Washington offices of the Philippine
Commonwealth.
Since the Philippine Resident
Commissioner, joaquin Elizalde, an
nounced his office desires list of
all Filipinos in this country some
1900 of the estimated 10000
Filipinos now living here have sent
in their names. The files are
steadily growing, especially with
records of Filipinos in this coun-
try's armed forces.
= In these cabinets are contained
the records Of Filipinos missing in
action or captured by the enemy
while serving under the American
flag. Many Of them have no next
of kin in this country and are
depending on these fines to tell their
story to the people back home when
the war Is over.
On Voluntary Basis.
Sebastian Ugarte, legal assistant
to the Resident Commissioner, ex-
planned that the certificate of
identity file is operated on a purely
voluntary basis. He thinks the in
formation in these cabinets will
assume greater Importance as the
war progresses, for the Jap-help
Philippines some day will be free
again and families will be asking
about their dear ones.
Perhaps the strangest story OF a
Filipino captured by the enemy,
Mr.. Ugarte said, Is the case he re-
corded recently of compatriot who
was reported to be a prisoner in
Germany. How the Filipino got to
Germany battles Mr.. Ugarte. But
the Red Cross brought word of his
detention, so the legal aide presumes
mis- fellow countryman was captured
on ship.
Approximately 5000 Filipinos are
serving in the United States Navy
and about 5000. composing two
regiments at Fort Ord Monterey,
Calf, in the Army, Mr.. Ugarte said.
Those who have no relatives in this
country pin their hopes on the in
formation kept in Washington to
tell their story, should anything
happen to them.
Turned Over Yacht to U. S.
Exiled Philippine government off,
Gals and Washington representa-
tives of the Commonwealth regard
as proud symbol the yacht of the
Commissioner which is now being
outfitted at Baltimore for Coast
Guard duty with the Navy. 1t will
be manned by an all-Filipino crew.
Mr.. Ugarte said. and probably will
be rechristened the U. S. S. Bataan.
Captain of the vessel will be Maj.
Carmello Manzano, whose 5.000-ton
United States Army, supply ship was
bombed BY the Japs In the Arafura
| Sea.,en route to the beleagur1d
forces. Of Gen. Macarthur si,lssBAs
tam ANA n Nafkano was ~ tdeA
IT, an island north of Port Darwin
for nine days before he was rescued.
He came to this country recently
from Australia as an aide to Gen.
Basilio Valdez, chief Of staff of
the Philippine Army.
Mr.. Ugarte said that many of
those who will serve on the con-
verified yacht while she patrols the
American coast will be depending
on information in that same iron
filing cabinet should the fates Of
war turn against them.

Servicemen Tie Up D. c
Transport Facilities

Train and bus facilities were
heavily strained here last night as
thousands of servicemen, on week
end leave, staged rush to return
to their posts this morning.
The fact the week end came on
the first pay day OF the month was
blamed for the unusually large
crowds that gathered ct Union Sta
ton. and bus depots.
The crowd at the Greyhound Bus
Line depot was especially heavy.
A block -long line formed at one
time during the evening.

Shortage of Hospitals, Nurses

idea of training the public, sug-
costing that first-aid courses in
hospitals and homes and home
nursing classes would help greatly.
She recalled one incident in which
a local mother returned to the nurs-
ring field, leaving her family to
get along under a. makeshift rou-
tine. In a few days she was back
with story of complications at
home.
Il told her to 60 home and take
care Of her family" reported Miss
Bowling. But I suggested at the
same time that she use every avail
able moment to teach home-nurs-
ing classes in her neighborhood"
Miss Edith M. Beattie, executive
secretary of the Graduate Nurses
Association. also thinks training in
home nursing should be promoted.
It's primary value, as she sees it,
would be to reduce the great num-
bers of calls made for nursing serv-
ice in cases which very easily could
be attended at home without out
side assistance.
Many Couldn't Find Lodgings.
The proposal that graduate nurses
be brought here from outside to
relieve the nursing shortage al
ready Is being tried. Some hospitals
have sent representatives to other
communities to interview applicants
and encourage them to come to
Washington. A number have been
enlisted in this manner, but many
Of these have been lost after they
arrived, because they were unable to
find housing facilities.
Miss Beattie called attention to
the fact that the drain upon the
nursing profession by the armed
services is giving other large COM
munities problem somewhat
similar to that of Washington. At
a recent meeting Of executive secre-
taries OF the Graduate Nurses AS
ISOLATION from other States, she
reported, all of them told of situa-
ton that. was practically identical.
Establishment of a national nurs-
ing supply board under the War
Production Board appears as pos
sibility to some medical interests,
but they see it as a resort only in
case other solutions fail. It might
be advisable to put such a plan in
use, they explained, If the emer-
gency reaches the point at which
private nurses are forced by the
Federal Government to 60 into gen.
eral duty.
Commissioner Guy Mason's Hos.
pital Committee offered the opinion
that a considerable number OF
graduate nurses not licensed anC
not nursing were eligible for license
and undoubtedly would be available
under favorable working conditions
Most authorities close to the nurs.
ing situation. however, doubt thai
this would furnish an appreciable
source of nursing power.
Pooling . Minor Aid.
Pooling of nurses among hospi-
tails also has been put into opera.
ton here mainly because the emer-
gency has affected institutions In
varying degrees. To minor extent
it has aided in meeting the nursing
shortage.
Miss Bowling believes that nurses
should be pooled among cases in
stead Of among hospitals, with the
most critical cases given first prior
ity. Such plan, she admits. would
call for good supervisors and good
professional Judgment In determin.
ing which patients were most ir
need Of nurses.

Nv PAT JONES,

Ice HI the District lay no small stress

.Tlg encourages the patient to cAr1.
IFS expectation Of elaborate atten-
ton and the person on the outside
to do all possible to assume a part
of the load carried by nurses.
Benefits noticed from the Red
Cross first-aid courses, which al
ready have saved life and limb as
their teachings were applied to VIC
TINS of local accidents, give support
to a proposal growing daily as a
possible course-widespread classes
in home nursing. This not only
would speed the application Of nee
essary treatment, say medical in
terests, but would eliminate many
OF the unnecessary calls for nursing
service.
So far in this series Of articles
on the local hospital and nursing
picture, attention has been called
to these possible solutions:
/. Provide adequate housing ia
cilities for nursing.
2. Give nurses the same defense
rating as doctors.
g. Relax requirements of the
Nurses Examining Board.
T.. Providing more obstetrical beds
but in the meantime encourage
more home deliveries and less hos
pitalization.
5. Aid former nurses in returning
to active duty.
6. Provide better wages and work.
ing conditions for nurses.
T. Increase use Of Red Cross and
other nurses aides.
8. Accelerate training. courses and
expand nursing schools.
Other Steps Proposed.
Still other steps proposed are the
possibility of bringing trained nurses
here from other cities. Of establish
ing a national nursing supply board
under the War Production Board.
of encouraging all persons capable
of obtaining q nursing license to do
so and of pooling nurses among
hospitals.
BY far the most important of the
remaining solutions appears to be
that of home-nursing training. In
an editorial on August II The Star
sounded the keynote for such a
step:
Even with new hospital con-
struction, the people Of Washing
ton will have to adjust themselves
to q condition which finds the sup
ply of nurses and doctors decreas-
ing as rapidly as the demand goes
up. There are not enough Of them
to 90 around. More home treat
ment of illness and minor accidents
will be necessary. The widely pa
tronized first-aid courses OF the Red
Cross should be Of great value to
the community in this respect. And
if more women will make them
selves available for training rs vol
unteer nurses. their families, If no
others. will benefit from the train
ing received"
A month later, Stella Goostray,
chairman of the National Nursing
Council for War Service, expanded
the call through the press from
New York.
