By NEA Service
 Portsmouth, N. H., June 15-In daily descents to the floor of the Att lantic, divers doing salvage work on the sunken submarine Squalus are carrying 199 pounds of equipment with them, yet going about their task with speed and efficiency. The Squalus lies 240 feet down But, as they did in the earlier rescue of the crew, the divers are beating previous handicaps which made it impossible for them to work fast, think clearly, or stay at sue ha depth for more than a few minutes.
 The trick lies in sending a mix ture of oxygen and helium down the divers .airlines, in place of undiluted air ordinarily used. And thhe idea belongs to Lieut. Com. Charles B.. Momsen, inventor of the famous Momsen "lung."
 BREATHES EASILY
 UNDER WATER
 Under terrific pressure at great depths, divers blood absorbs nitrogen from undiluted air. It makes him feel as sluggish as a slow motion picture looks, retards his mental and physical processes. After a few minutes of work un- der such conditions, the diver has to be lifted to the surface so that his blood and tissues can give up their nitrogen content.
 Momsen suggested that a lighter gas than nitrogen might overcome this difficulty. Working with three navy doctors, he finally hit upon then oxygen helium mixture. In experiments here, the formula was found practical. More tests are due off Portsmouth this summer.
 Momsen has worked out per- centages of the mixture which are best at various depths. He has de- vised a regulator which blends the two gases in proper proportions as they pass into the divers airlines.
 Getting rigged up for drop into the deep sea location of the Squalus hakes hopping into a full-dress suit look easy in com- parison.
 While the diver is getting his heavy equipment on, helpers tie a rope around him. III case he &C., cidentally goes overheard, this safety line" can be used to haul him out.
 HEMLET LOCKS
 INTO PLACE
 That big helmet screws onto metal yoke, or shoulder plate, on the divers costume. There's device in back which locks it into position, so 1t won't come unscrewed while he's fathoms down.
 Before the diver puts his feet in the water, helpers put down "descender line" - rope with heavy weight on one end and con- nected to the boat at the other end. The diver slides to the bottom along this rope.
 An exhause valve on his uniform controls the air pressure in the suit, lets his expelled breath out. Another valve, known as the "el- ementary," is there in case the other valve fouls.
 When he wants to come up, the diver twiddles the air control valve so as to increase the amount of helium oxygen mixture he is getting. This partly initiates his suit and causes him to float. Then he takes the descender line and slides up to the surface again. He

cue boat, can both talk and listen to the diver through a receiver transmitter unit on deck. The unit has sort of a miniature switchboard. Thue, two or more divers can be down at once, all plugged in on the system. The operator can transfer their calls, give directions, and enable them to talk to one another, if neces- sary.
 The divers receiver-transmitter is attached into the side of the helmet. When he's looking straight ahead, it's at his ear. When he wants to talk, he turns his head to the left, and it's at his mouth.
 The air hose and telephone cable are done up in one tube, which forms the divers only connection with the upper world. The tube is designed to resist breaking strength up to 2200 pounds.

has to be careful not to do this too fast, of course, or he gets the agonizing bends.
 Once in while, novice diver doesn't trust this system of seeing daylgiht again. So he hollers through his telephone, and they pull him up with a cable. The only trouble is it takes a couple of men on the pulling end = which doesn't increase the divers popular ity.
 TWO-WAY
 COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
 That telephone, by the way, ic one of the most interesting parts of this diving business. The phone system works off regular 110- volt circuit from the ships power system; but dry cell batteries are kept handy for emergencies.
