Todoy's War Story
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star STAR fCorraspopdapt

WITH UNITED STATES 9th DI.
VISION.-Dachau was planned as q
great medical and physiological ex-
pertinent station.
Here was concentration of thou
sands of human beings of both sexes
and all ages. Their lives were Of nc
value. They could be used precisely
as experimenters elsewhere use
white rats. At any time they could
be sacrificed" in the gas chamber
to determine the progress of the
particular physiological or patholog-
ical process being studied.
Heinrich Himmler put here, ap-
parently for the most part over their
own protests, some of Germany's
foremost psychologists. They had
their choice of coming as scientific
workerS-or as white rats them
selves.
For some reason the experiments
did not yield many worthwhile re-
suits, although it is still too early
to assess the value of the reports.
Himmler was keenly disappointed.
He had expected miracles.
One experiment was to determine
the reactions of men to rapid
changes of air pressure. Only Jews
were used in this study. The victim
was placed in cylinder carried in
a truck, and the air pressure low
cred to point which conceded with
the pressure at an altitude of from
5000 to 5000 meters. This pressure
then was brought back to Sea-level
pressure at a terrific speed. The
object was to simulate the expert
ence of a parachutist dropping at
much greater speed than ever would
be actually encountered. 1t was
hoped to obtain results valuable in
future air force training Not a
single man ever was seen leaving
the truck alive.
Another was the water tank ex-
posure experiment. A tank about
II feet deep was filled with cold
water, the temperature of which
was l degree centigrade Victims
were forced to dive in and remain
under water until they lost con-
sciousness. Then they were placed
in bed with female internees who
were kept at nearby concentration
camp solely for this experiment

this work and all the victims went
insane. The day before American
troops took over the concentration
camp all persons who had under.
gone these experiments were
marched to the pine grove behinc
the crematory and shot.
There was a large malaria ex.
pertinent station. The white rats
used in this work were mostly Polish
priests. Two methods of innocula.
ton were used. The first was by
injections of human blood infected
with malaria organisms and the
second by allowing the victims tt
be bitten by infected mosquitoes
The first group were allowed tc
undergo various numbers of chills
and fevers to determine whether the
efficacy of various malaria remedies
varied with the number of attacks
In the second group treatment was
started before the chills appeared
In third group new drug known
as pyramidon was used. 1t was
supposed to suppress the fever but
not cure the malaria.
Some of the experiments were
with a disease known as phlegmone
closely akin to phlebitis. First six
Jews were injected with germs and
died. Then another group of 1C
were injected intermuscularly in the
legs. After they showed signs OF
the disease they received similar
injections in the other leg. Those
who survived this got a third set OF
injections in the arm. None sur
vived.
Then 20 prisoners received inter-
muscular injections of pus. Some
were treated by biochemical pills
and some with sulfonamide drug
Most of the victims in both cate.
gories died. Subsequently 40 priests
were given the same treatment
Nine died from resulting complica-
tions. Everyone undergoing these
experiments was photographed every
week. Altogether 300 of the human
white rats" are known to have
died-apparently for no good pur-
pose.

nounced yesterday that many
steel, hermetically-sealed contain.
ers' have been constructed for stor.
age Of the Nations big guns ano
other heavy artillery equipment al
the close OF the war.
The company said experiments or
the containers have been under way
at its Ambridge plant and the re-
search is continuing.
The announcement said:
"A welded steel container closely
resembling the Army Quonset hut
has been developed. The equipment
after being slowed in these sealed-in
units, will be subjected to an inert
gas atmosphere, which, replacing
the normal atmosphere with its
corroding factors of oxygen and
moisture, it is anticipated will pre-
vent deterioration of the contents
over long period of time.
Equipment so preserved will be
ready for use in the event of an
other Pearl Harbor"
Meanwhile, the Aluminium Co. Of
America disclosed receipt of an Or
der for 200 tons of aluminium sheet,
castings and extruded sections for
aluminium containers to be used
for the same purpose.

Two fielders grouped close to the
