BY S/sERGT. J. r. MOSER, Jr.
"a Marine Corps Combat CORRESPONDENT,
formerly Of The starr
OkINAWA Delayed. - 1st 1t.
William E. Thompson, jr., who set
Washington's interscholastic 900
yard dash record at % seconds in
1896, now is air liaison officer Of
the 1st Marine Division. AS such,
he co-ordinates and directs some of
the most intense ship and artillery
barrages of the Pacific war on forti-
fed Jap ridges here.
Thompson, 6-foot 4-incher
known as Stretch" previously saw
action with the 7th Marines on Pc
leliu. He is credited with directing
fire which blew up large Jap am
munition dump and also scattered
a concentration of enemy forces.
thereby allowing his regiment to
advance
He was born at Falls Church,
Va, where his father. retired from
the Department of Agriculture, now
lives. At Central High, Washington,
he smashed a 220 record set in 1906
by Dick Dear, now Brig. Gen. Dear
U. S. A., and also earned "all high
honors in basket ball.
Thompson left a position as pub
lie relations man for the Jackson

as an officer later that year and

the left ear. He was unconscious
and apparently in very serious
condition. He had attempted to take
his life by slashing himself with
pieces of glass from broken win
dow pane, we were told. Other pa
tients paced the ward In straight
jackets.
Similar conditions prevailed In
the 'homicidal and suicide ward
Several patients showed severe cuts
and scars of the hands, face and
head, caused by their smashing the
window panes. In this ward there
we're 81 patients with one attendant.
When asked why these windows
were not protected by screens or
wire mesh, the doctor In charge
stated he had made repeated re-
quests to have the windows inclosed,
but for some unknown reason his
requests were either overlooked or
forgotten"
The VFW committee learned that
three FBI agents had been admit
ted to the facility as patients and
had gathered the evidence on which
soldiers were convicted and the
civilian attendants charged.
Commenting on the general sit
uation in veterans hospitals over
the country, Joseph M. Stack of
Pittsburgh, senior vice commander
Of the VFW, said:
"We find grave conditions exist
that must be corrected Immediately.
AS we anticipated, the report un-
derlines the shocking need for con-
struction of a large number Of
facilities and the desperate shortage
Of trained medical and service per-
sonnel. Management of the hos
pitas, both in the Veterans Admin
istration central office and in the
field, is subject to considerable ap-
parently justified criticism"
Among the general recommends.
tions which the VFW made to the
House committee was to establish an
independent board of review to hear
complaints concerning hospitals and
treatments.
The VFW also recommended
higher pay for hospital personnel,
especially for physicians, nurses and
attendants, in the hope of attract
ing those with the highest degree
'of skill and intelligence.
