Navy Diver Declares
His 44O-Foot Descent
Was No Picnic
Coneer Thinks He Sow
90; Tells How 1t Felt
To Be on Ocean Floor
BY FRANK CAREY,
Associated Press stan Writer.

ABOARD U. S. S. FALCON, OFF
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., June 23.-
In the boiling heat of the Iron
doctor''-a recompression chamber
for divers after they come out of
the water-a crackerjack naval
diver told yesterday how it feels to
be in the darkness of the ocean floor
at the greatest depth ever reached
by a diver in an unarmored suit.
1T wasn't exactly picnic, "
grinned Claude Conger. 33, of Wash
ington, a short time after he had
been brought up 440 feet from the
muddy bottom where the luckless
submarine GO lay with her SO dead
But I'd 60 down again, if I have
to-it's my job" he added as he
lifted from his sweat-streaked face
a grotesque oxygen mask that looked
like football players nose guard.
But I wouldn't do it for the fun
of it,"
Shouts in Tired Voice.
His voice was tired, but neverthe-
less he tried to shout-the tendency
of persons under artificial pressure.
At the moment he was talking Mr..
Conger was under a pressure of al
most % pounds to the square inch
the equivalent of pressure in 40 feet
of water.
He sat on a tool box at the far
end of l2-foot-long. barrel-like
chamber, which is divided into two
compartments, separated by steel
door.
The inner section was where the
diver was gradually being brought
back to normal pressure so as to
prevent bends" the dread ailment
of divers and high altitude flyers.
In the outer chamber, medical
attendants and observers remained
until they were under an artificial
pressure equalizing that of Mr.. Con-
ger with whom they were to talk.
He wore a blue-sailor shirt and
dungarees, into which he was
changed quickly by attendants when
he first entered the chamber.
Portfolios in the steel chamber
showed sunlight from outside, but
the glass was dimmed almost as
though by steam, and an electric
light lighted the chamber itself.
More than 6-feet tall, 165 pounds,
Mr.. Conger has been used as a
kind of sea-going human guinea
pig to devise athletic tests to estab-
hSh standards of naval physique.

from behind the strange mask. But
the things he said to interviewers

# Nazis Win War,
horgenthau Says
Secretary Urges All
Members to Buy Defense
Bonds and Stamps

No group has a greater stake in
the outcome of this present world
conflict than the American farmer,
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau today told delegates to the 18th
annual encampment of All clubs.
Speaking over Nationwide
radio broadcast of the National
Farm and Home Hour from the
Marine Barracks he said the farm
er's right to till his own acres, his
right to take part in the democratic
determination of policies affecting
his own welfare and his childrens
welfare, are directly involved in this
struggle.
If this so-called new order of
the dictators should triumph, we
should see the markets of the world
closed to American farm products,
which, for more than a century,
have brought health and well being
to the peoples of the earth.
The Treasury Secretary called on
the rural youths to buy defense saw
ings bonds and stamps.
On the program were three All
Club delegates from nearby Mary
land and Virginia. They we're: Ann
Lee Upton, Montgomery County;
Lucinda Holloway. Dorchester
County, Md, and Oralena Robinson,
Washington County, Va.
During discussion in the Agri-
culture Department auditorium early
today, the delegates gave their
views on community responsibilities
of rural youth
Dr. Russell M. Wilder, Mayo
clinic specialist and chairman of
the subcommittee on nutrition for
the National Research Council, gave
a technical talk on food values and
their use in the body.
In discussing American consump-
ton of patent bread" DR.. Wilder
said the German army eats 1l2
pounds of whole wheat and rye
bread per man a day. He expressed
the belief this is the cause of their
strength and fighting powers.
He also voiced the opinion Ger
man troops are getting better food
and more balanced diet than
many citizens of this country.
Morale, courage and physical fit
ness basically come from food, he
added If more attention is given
to quality this will build the Amer
ican people to face the threats and
tasks ahead of them," he declared.
The basis of balanced diet is an
adequate supply of iron salts, pro-
teinS, calcium and the vital A, B, c
and D vitamins, he said.

Crew of0-9 Honored
By Navy as Men Still
Al Station Of Duty
Recovery of Bodies
Abandoned to Avoid
Riskine Divers Lives
Hy tie Associated Press.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H, June o.
The Navy honored today as men
still at their station of duty" the
SO members of the sunken and
pressure crushed submarine 90
after abandoning efforts to recover
their bodies or to salvage the craft
from murky depths, 440 feet below
the surface.
The decision to allow the men to
lay buried on the ocean floor came
only after two courageous Navy
divers descended to the side of the
underwater vessel in working dives
unparalleled in history. 1t was de-
termined that further efforts would
jeopardize divers lives.
Under present circumstances,
said Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief
of naval operations in Washington,
"the decision must be to accept the
situation as loss of naval personnel
at sea who can best be honored as
men still at their station of duty.
Not one of them would expect or
wish another naval man to risk his
life to provide another final resting
place"
May Never Know Cause.
Naval officials said that although
1t may never be determined what
caused the 23-year-old, recently
commissioned craft to plunge to
the ocean bed during a test dive,
a naval board of inquiry would hold
an investigation either in New
London, Conn, or Portsmouth at
an unannounced date.
Deep in their steel tomb, the men
were given the blessings of an ap-
preciative and sympathetic Navy
Secretary, Frank Knox, during a
solemn service on the gently rolling
deck of the submarine Triton yes
terday.
With trace of tears in his eyes,
the naval chief grimly stepped to
the port rail-as approximately 1000
eold-braided admiralS, sailors in
dress blue and divers in denim work
clothes stood at attention-and ut
tered to the men far below a fond
"good-by-we thank you-God bless
you"
Thinks Men Died Instantly.
A few hours earlier Rear Admiral
Richard S. Edwards had Signaled
the end of operations by announcing
1t was impossible for divers to work
with any kind of efficiency in the
black, silt-bottomed depths where
the men were entombed
In my opinion" said Admiral Ed
wards, the men of the O-9 died in
stantly" He based his conclusion
on the fact that wreckage from the
interior lining of the hull had been
found on the surface.
AS guns roared out the Navy'S final
tribute and bugles sounded Taps"
Ureaths we're tossed on the calm
sea-for the Nation. the Navy and
the families of the victims.
The exclusive naval service-not
even members, of the families of the
crew members were present-was
held in the center of a circle of
about dozen vessels, including the
salvage craft from which desperate
efforts had been made since Friday
to reach the stricken boat.

Bishop Freeman Asks
More Defense Stress
On Spiritual Phase
DepIores 'ArsenoI' Move
Without Undertaking to
Spread Christianity

The Right Rev. James E. Free
man, Bishop of Washington, yester7
day deplored the action Of the
United States in turning its energies
to production of machines of war
without giving more time to the
development of spiritual forces.
He said the Nation was "arro-
gantly setting itself up to be the
arsenal of the world" without at
the same time undertaking to prac-
tice and spread the teachings of
Christianity.
Delivering his Evensong sermon
at the Washington Cathedral, Bish-
op Freeman said the people of the
world will face during the summer
months the greatest strain which
has ever been placed on humankind.
He urged the congregation not to
lose faith.
ITO find comfort in these grave
times, we must get back again to
some of the things we have lost" he
said.
Bishop Freeman said that after
listening to Winston Churchill's S
speech he realized the world is fac
ing years of bloodshed and sorrow
which will make the Napoleonic wars
seem inconsequential.
He said the youth of this country
is today the most disillusioned,
most disheartened and most dis
couraged people in the world" and
warned that they will not find their
happiness in the future "by being
the policemen of the world. but
by bringing about a revival of re-
ligion."
"Officers in the high places today
are forgetting the need of faith in
God" he said, and urged the leaders
of all countries to realize this neces-
sity in "a world gone mad"
The sermon yesterday was the last
the Bishop will deliver at the Cathe-
dral until September.

FIGHT IS OURS,
CONVOYS LIKELY
Nation Committed to See
That Supplies Not

ROOSEVELT EXPECTED
TO GIVE TALK SOON
Open Campaign to Enlighten
Public on Gravity
of Situation


Washington, APP. 25-UP-Vfgor-
Gus statements by Secretary Of
State Cordell Hull and Secretary OF
the Navy Frank Knox that this
is our fight appeared today 20
confirm indications that the United
States soon would extend its nav
al activities in the Atlantic 10 in
sure delivery OF war supplies to
Great Britain.
Neither cabinet member directly
mentioned conveys or the moIe
favored alternatives "short-of-con.
voys". But both, in separate
speeches last night, struck the
theme: We've got TO deliver the
goods" to Britain. They implied
the force would be used to do so,
II necessary.
Knox said: Eve have commit
ted ourselves. we cannot allow
our goods to be sunk in the Allan
tic-we shall be beaten II they dc"
Hull said: aid must be supplied
without hesitation to Great Bril-
tain and other countries. This
policy means, in practical applica-
ton. that such aid must reach its
destination in the shortest OF time
and in maximum quantity. So
ways must be found to do this"
Expect Talk
Some members of Congress be-
lieved that the Knox-Hull speeches
were a prelude to a more compre-
hensiye radio talk on the subject
soon by President Roosevelt. Meth
er Hull nor Knox specified how
they would save American cargoes
from torpedoing or bombing. But
congressman felt that now the
subject has been opened by two
OF the Presidents highest ranking
lieutenants, Mr.. Roosevelt might
outline the ways and means he has
in mind.
The speeches appeared to mark
the opening OF an official campaign
TO enlighten the public on the
gravity of the International situa-
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt said Tuesday
that he did not believe the public
was fully aware Of the danger.
They were also believed design
ed to encourage the British pub
lie and. counterfeit some OF the
criticism created by British re-
verses in the Balkans.
Most widely discussed here rs
way to get aid to Britain was not
the long-debated direct convoy plan.
but an arrangement by which the
Navy would undertake to keep thu
whole western Atlantic free Of
raiders. That could be done by
eyten sion OF the present neutrality

proclaiming such 300-mile areas
around new American bases in
