2 Deaths Cause Army to Start
Probe of Hospital Facilities
enroute to the Navy Hospital at
Oceanside, Calif.. 70 miles south,
the only major military medical
installation serving the Los An-
By the Associated Press
A reported shortage of military
hospital facilities is being investi-
gated by the Army with hope of
an agreement whereby military
cases may be transferred to civil-
ian. hospitals, -
The probe was started, an Army
official in Los Angeles said last
night, after disclosure of the death
of an infantry private and a ser-
geant’s infant son. Both had been
denied immediate medical atten-
tion. the Army said.
The Army’s investigation fol-
lowed the report from Chicago of
a father smuggling his soldier-son
from Ft Leonard Wood. Mo., after
the soldier complained he was not
getting proper medical treatment.
The Army draftee, Pvt. Stanley
Amborski, 21, was reported im-
proving from virus pneumonia at
the Great Lakes Naval Hospital
At the same time, the command-
ing general of Ft Leonard Wood
said a Kansas City soldier was
not smuggled from the camp by
three buddies last December and
had not been refused medical treat-
ment. The soldier, Pvt. William
Petitt. 23, is at an armed services
hospital at Hot Springs, Ark., suf-
fering arthritis.
CUTBACKS NOTED
In Los Angeles, Col. Sidney F.
Dunn, commandant of Ft. MacAr-
thur, said that “the trouble la that
military enlistments are increasing
while medical facilities are being
cut back."
At Ft Leonard Wood, Brig. Gen.
. Samuel D. Sturgis, Jr., said Pettit
“was never denied medical treat-
ment and be did not leave the
fort without permission."
Petitt’s mother, Mrs. Harry W.
Fetitt, said in Kansas City Mon-
day her son waa smuggled from
the camp as he was unable to
walk She said three buddies took
him out without a pass so he could
get medics! treatment
Sturgis said Petitt had a “Class
A" pass which allowed him to
leave the post on all normal off-
duty hours. The general said one
of Petitt’s buddies. Pvt. Jackie
Dickey of Kansas City, told him
that he and two other buddies
took Petitt to the fort’s bus sta-
tion and Petitt and Dickey rode a
bus to Kansas City. Dickey said
Petitt "limped but waa able to
walk."
In Chicago, Amborskl’s father,
John Amborski, 45, said he waa
attempting to get a medical dis-
charge for his son and had sought
help from Rep. Richard Vail (R.,
111.1. The alling GI technically is
lifted as "absent without leave"
at Ft Leonard Wood.
Army authorities at Ft. Leonard
Wood said Amborski had received
medical treatment five times since
his arrival at the camp April 2.
Amborski’s father said Stanley
had written that he was ill and
unable to get proper medical treat-
ment.

Military regulations provide for
treatment of servicemen at civil-

by the Army. The Army believes,
however, the hospitals don’t know
about it.
Dependents are not included in
the regulations.

Moran Resident’s
Rites Set Thursday
MORAN, May 1 —Funeral serv-
ices will be held at 10:30 Thursday

odist Church for A. J. Taylor, who
fell dead la his furniture store here
Tuesday.
The Rev. Robert W. Brown, pas-
tor, will officiate and burial
will be in the Moral cemetery
under direction of Wylie Funeral
Home.
Mr. Taylor, 70, came to Moran
during the oil boom deya of 1919
and established a furniture store
and funeral home. He sold the fu-
neral home throe years ago te W.
O. Wylie of Baird. He was born
March 1S, 1881, nt Chattanooga,
Tenn., and lived at Florence, Tex.
before coming to Moran.
A physician said his death was
caused by a heart attack.
Survivors include the widow,
three aena. A J. Taylor of San
Angelo; Bob W. Taylor of Brown-
wood: and L. 8. Taylor of Dallas;
one daughter, Mrs. G. H Barber

Not only to the Kentucky Derby
the oldest continuously run race in
America, but it has never been
war any track except Churchill-
Downs.
A Navy spokesman said the 450-
mile trip from the Missouri camp
to Chicago probably aggravated
Stanley’s condition. He was re-
moved to the Naval hospital upon
the advice of a civilian physician
after his arrival in Chicago Sun-
day night.
The Army said in Los Angeles
that it wants to know why Pvt.
Arthur Credighton, 20, of Yazoo
City, Mias., was refused admit-
tance at Los Angeles County Gen-
eral Hospital last week. He died
Arthur Wills, county superin-
tendent of charities at Los Angeles
General Hospital, said "under nor-
mal conditions, we don’t take mil-
itary cases But we’re willing to
do so any time the military wants
to make the arrangements. It
takes us more than a year to get
paid.”
Sgt. Dale Ballenger said his
nine months old son, James L.
Ballenger, died in his mother’s
arms last month, 10 minutes be-
fore the family reached Ocean-
ride. He had taken the baby to
the Mt. MacArthur infirmary, he
said, but was told to wait until
a lineup of soldiers had been
treated. The child’s ailment later
was diagnosed as influenza, Bal-
lenger said.
