Prisoner Dies
In Test for Navy

BOSTON. Dec. 3 GNS).-A
story of heroiSm and devotion 10
country by a Massachusetts con-
vict who sacrificed his life by sub
hitting to n vitality important
research test" so that men fighting
for Uncle Sam might live was
revealed today.
The man who risked his life in
the test was Arthur ST. Germaine.
81, of Haverhill, Mass, who was
an inmate of the Norfolk State
Prison colony.
His prison term prevented him
from shouldering gun AT the
front but il didn't stop him from
sharing the gamble faced by every
man in the armed service.
While details about the research
test are a naval secret which prob
ably won't be disclosed until after
the war, the bravery Of ST. Ger
maine was revealed when the
Massachusetts governors council
granted him a poSthumouS pardon.
In his recommendation for the
pardon, Gov. Leverett Saltonstafl
stated:
Arthur ST. Germaine with
full knowledge and understand
ing possible dangers and risks
involved, voluntarily submitted
to a vitality important research
test that involved the possible
saving OF thousands OF lives not
only on the battlefront hut
among society Itself"
