SummaryResumen
The *Springfield Weekly Republican* reported that emergency relief centers in Santo Domingo were distributing daily food rations to approximately 10,000 hurricane survivors under Red Cross Director Ernest J. Swift. A 1,000-bed tent hospital was established under U.S. Navy Commander L. W. Johnson to perform surgeries and treat injured residents. Dominican soldiers and armed bluejackets from the USS *Grebe* stood guard over supply trucks and wharves to prevent desperate crowds from looting incoming provisions.

tioning stations, and Director Ernest
J. Swift estimated that 10,000 persons
now are receiving rations daily. At*

Cross food station became so large
and so unmanageable for the civilians
that Dominican soldiers were com

Food Supply Augmented
Tonight for the first time in a week
there'''were few among the city's
homeless who were hungry.
Imported food made possible the, 1
feeding of the thousands who had
not only lost their homes and their
loved ones, but also their sources of
income. The food supply was greatly

minican republic.
Surgical attention for the injured
was greatly facilitated today with the
opening of the Roosevelt emergency
tent hospital, which has 1000 beds.

Many Vessels In Port

to wrest food from the handlers atj
the wharves.
