"CRUCEN KIN LOST WITH PRISON SHIP
"A former Las Cruces boy, later district health officer at Albuquerque--whose mother still resides here, . . . today had been added to the list of New Mexicans lost on a Japanese prison ship which was sunk by an American torpedo in the south China sea Oct. 24, 1944.
"The former health officer was Capt. Julian O. Long, a son of Mrs. Adda B. Long, 1010 South First St., who for several years has been officially listed as missing in the Philippines. . . .
"Dr. Long, in his boyhood, attended Las Cruces high school." He later attended McMurry College in Abilene, Texas, and earned an M. D. Degree in 1932 From the Baylor College of Medicine, then in Dallas, Texas. He was awarded a series of Rockefeller Fellowships to study at the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health and earned a Master of Public Health degree in 1939. That same year he completed his tour in the United States Public Health Service and entered the private practice of Medicine in Albuquerque. When his reserve regiment was federalized in early 1940, he reentered the United States military and was sent to the Philippines in August, 1941.
After his death, Dr. Long was promoted to the rank of Major and awarded the Bataan Medal, the Purple Heart, a Bronze Star for heroism, and a Presidential Citation.
