Whether primitive peoples had

Comdr. Cobb, Navy Nurse, Tells
Of Life in Jap Prison Camps

These the internees would gladly
have bought from their own re-
sources had this been permitted.
After their first meager supply of
medicines and medical supplies were
expended, none were supplied by
the Japs until one Red Cross supply
ship was permitted through in De-
cember, 1943.
The only issued ration eventually
was 'lugas," an inferior rice cooked
with so much water it took on
mucilage-like consistency. Children
received one-half as much as their
parents.
Didn't Mind Weevils.
1--WE got so we didn't especially
mind the weevils, but the cock
reaches and the worms made eating
tough going much of the time"
says Comdr. Cobb, who so far has
only gained II of the IS pounds
she lost during her imprisonment.
Systematic brigades of internees
dug pig grass, banana tree roots and
slugs to supplement the meager
prison fare. Supreme efforts were
made to grow gardens, too, but the
struggle was often an unequal one
against the waist-high "cognon"
grass in the swampy land allotted to
them. Mosquitoes and other insects
were also an incessant plague.
At the end when they were placed
on supplies of $50 to 300 grams of
"polai," or unhusked rice, which had
to last two days after it had been
dried in the sun and rolled out be-
tween rocks or boards for the little
subsistence it afforded, the japanese
turned the camp caribous into the
gardens to Craze bare the green
shoots of the most recent paintings.
Then came the day when the sem
tries dispensed with the am. and
pm. roll calls, and with indrawn
breaths grimaced, before they an
nounced, so sorry, please, no more
food from now on. japanese troops
come through tomorrow, very bad
for you, perhaps. Now you like to
make joke about Americans dying"
Hope Runs High.
But somehow, this did not even
dismay U.s." she declares. I'm spite
of the efforts of our guards to herd
us under cover, not for protection,
but to prevent us from recognizing
our own reconnaissance planes, some
of us had managed to glimpse the
stars on them and hope was high in
the hearts of every one of U.s."
American humor still continued
as a mask to hide our deeper emo
tions, too, even when our rescuerS
generously showered us with their
individual K rations, their cherished
chocolate bars, cigarettes and any
thing and everything they had"
Comdr Cobb continued.
What would this Navy nurse like
to do with her go days of accumu-
lated leave? Already she is restive
under it, and more than anything
else, she would like an active Pacific
area detail, so that she can get back
into a life of service lover there"
! just as soon as possible.

By JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

After 81 months and % days in.
ternment as a prisoner in the Phil.
ippines, 1t. Comdr. Laura M. Cobb
Navy Nurse Corps, was one of those
who survived to enjoy the almost
delirious delight of liberation.
Her rescue with that of her fel.
low internees was accomplished or
February 25 by United States armed
forces at Los Banos, less than q
miles from the front lines.
Comdr. Cobb was chief nurse in
charge of the United States Naval
Hospital at Cavite Navy Yard be-
fore the fall of the Philippines
Separated from her Navy detail, she
co-operated continuously during her
imprisonment with civilian doctors
in helping care for the starving and
the i'll in two Jap internee camps,
first at Santo Tomas, and then at
Los Banos. Working steadfastly
with her during this entire period
were 10 other Navy nurses, 2 Brit
ish nurses, and Filipinos married
to American citizens previous to the
japanese invasion.
Kept Day to Day Record.
DR.. C. M. Leach of the Rockefeller
Foundation was the first head of
the medical unit at Los Banos, but
had to be repatriated aboard the
GripSholm because of illness. DR..
Dana Nance carried on for the last
Is months, performing brilliant and
successful surgery on salvaged op-
Grating table under inconceivable
conditions.
One of the profound professional
satisfactions in the career of this
Wichita (Kans) nurse, who is vet
eran of 20 years in the Navy, came
last April 6, here, when she officially
turned over to Capt. Sue S. Dauser,
superintendent of the United States
Navy Nurse Corps, a complete day.
to-day nursing record of her prison
work and that of her Navy nurse
associates. Just how she managed
to keep and preserve it is her secret
Yankee ingenuity constantly out
did its famed best in converting the
seemingly impossible into something
useful and necessary. CT corrugated
tin with its creases pounded out, was
fashioned into cooking utensils, hos
pital basins and almost any required
kind of hospital accessory.
Grim Endurance.
Comdr. Cobb's saga, like that of
her fellow prisoners, runs the gamut
of grim, human endurance. Bodies
grew more gaunt as the months
dragged into years and strength
ebbed, but the spirit of those who
survived was never broken, despite
the sometimes sadistic cruelty of
their jailors.
Deaths at Santo Tomas averaged
five to seven a day. At Los BanoS,
probably because of the open coun-
try and the sunshine, the average
dropped as low as one to two
Nearly all were from slow starvation
and its kindred ills, although Los
Banos was in the midst of an area
where chickens, eggs and native
fruits and vegetables abounded.
