Bataan Hospital Bombed by Japs

"Was I surprised when I read the shocking story of the March of Death of the brave men of Ba- taan? Not in the slightestl After samples of Jap butchery in the Philippines, nothing they ever did would surprise me-" said heuten- ant Gg) Anne Bernatitus, Navy nurse who escaped from Bataan on submarine and Is now serving at hospital in New Orleans. Lieut.. Bernatirus was the first person in the Naval Service to win the Leg ion of Honor Award.
 Our field hospital on Bataan was small-much too small for the num- Der of sick and wounded. Those who couldn't be bedded down inside were placed in cots side by side in the field. There were hundreds of those cots. As many men were dy- ing from sickness as from wounds. Medicine was rationed. BandageS and gauge were so scarce that we l washed out the old ones and used them again.
 "One morning we heard the Jap- anese bombers coming. We weren't ! afraid of the planeS-not that first time! We thought we had nothing to fear. We had put huge red crosses-50 feet in size around that field. The hospital buildings and doctors quarters had similar mark ings.
 ''The Japs swept down very low. They couldn't have missed the crosses-and they didn't miss the beds. Yes. they bombed those help less American patients. They used those red crosses, symbols of mercy. as targets and our boys lay there | in the sun and waited for death from the sky.
 "As a result of Jap bombings, during one terrible day on Bataan we had 285 patients on our opera ting table in 8 hours. One patient every two minutes of the day! We tried to take first those who had the best chance of surviving. One soldier came in with his abdomen blown to bits. He was a goner and I think he knew it. He asked: Doctor, is there any hope at all?" The doctor tried to reaSSure him and replied, "We'll do everything we can!' The soldier tried to roll over. Doc" he said, "get me off there and save one of those other fellows who still has a fighting chance!"
 That was the kind of men we had fighting for Bataan and Cor regidor. It's too late now to help most of those boys the dead and l the prisoners.
 But it's not too late to help 8 lot of other men out there fighting the Japs today. They're counting on you-especially you folks who work in warplantS. For your eff forts can make sure that less and less of our men will ever fall in- to Japanese hands. The equip ment you make will help decide who will win the battles and who will take the prisoners. After read ing what happened to American boys captured in the Philippines surely you must realize that when it comes to equipment there can't be ''too much or too soon" Don't ever forget Bataan. Don't ever let 1t happen again to American fight ing men any place in the world!"

 Mary Fazzina and Les Schade have both left our midst for the intellectual atmosphere and seren- CT waters of the Southeast balcony of the Machine Shop, where they are enjoying the hospitality of Tom Sargent's department. The Im- provement Committee, wishing to cheer up the situation, makes a joint announcement with the Com mittee on New Members to the ef- feet that MT. Kocsuta has joined the Machine Shop Office, bringing with him a technical background that will soon be evidenced in more subs. Our hearty welcome to MT. Kocsuta.
 Incidentally, the Committee on Improvements has also asked us to mention the plight of those working on the boats and in the yards, who have to eat their lunch es under a wide expanse of sky. Perchance some one who has just finished a succulent meal in the Company's new dining salon, and by far more remote chance has happened to cast his eyes upon this column-perchance he might see fit to put in kindly word for 8 shelter to provide a dry and less drafty place to cope with sand wich and coffee luke.
 We believe the technical ad. vances of the war have enabled in dustry-after the war-to make il possible for an individual to pro- duce far more than individuals have ever produced before. For instance, a thirty-hour, five-day week is within the realms of the poSsible-not to say the likely. A six-hour day with living annual wage based upon sufficient hourly rates. We believe there are many people here who would like to stay in these parts after the war if they had something to look forward 10. With this thought in mind, your correspondent would be interested in receiving the following answers from all who will be kind enough to take the trouble. Send them to Ogden .Driggs, Dept. 301, and we will give the statistics in lat CT issue.
 Names will be kept confidential, and nothing is promised other than an effort on our part to see what can be done about it:
