Soldiers' Home Chief Probes Aid Refusal to Paralyzed Inmate
Brigadier General Hawkins investigated Home attendants for refusing medical aid to Philip J. Donging, an inmate who lay outside the Soldiers' Home near the east gate for two hours before police intervened. Hospital staff later advised he recovered enough to be returned to the Home. The governor said the incident showed miscommunication and questioned the attendants for not acting when the inmate's identity was uncertain. Police and the sergeant major were cited as having been told a uniformed veteran lay unconscious. officials argued lack of a definite identity prevented action without positive id. The affair is described as regrettable but not unheard of in cases where patients lack proper identification.
