Device Enables Detection
Of Early Heart Disorders
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 10.-Tem.
pie University Medical School an.
nounces development of a revolu-
tionary device-the electrokymo-
graph-which will permit doctors
to detect heart disease in its early
stages.
DR.. Bert B. Boone of Schwenks-
vile, Pa. who has worked on the
instrument for the last two years
in cooperation with the United
States Public Health Service, said
the electrokymograph permits the
doctor to accurately photograph
the motions of the heart. He said
that previous lack of such pictures
had hampered early diagnosis of
the ailment.
The machine reflects the muscu-
lar motions of the heart on a
f1ourescent screen, DR.. Boone said.
These are converted into light i'm
pulses by means of photo electric
cell, acting like the human eyes.
Any abnormal impulse will lead to
discovery of heart disease, he
pointed out.

Nozis Posed Captured FIiers
For Photos, Then Shot Them

Col. Henry Rosenfeld, jr, OF Mount
Holly, N. j.. a war crimes prosecutor
just returned from Germany, re-
vealed at press conference yester-
day that American and British war
prisoners were shot to death at the
notorious Mauthausen camp in Aus
tria by being tricked into believing
they were sitting for photographs.
On his first leave in this country
since 1941, Col. Rosenfeld complained
It "soured" him to realize that Amer
leans appear to have forgotten
all about Nazi atrocities and seem
more interested in bridge games"
He is returning in a month to
assist in the prosecution of a second
mass trial of former Nazi guards
and petty officials of the Mauthau-
sen determination camp. About / TOO
OF these "bullies and murderers," he
said, are being held in custody at
Dachau, Germany. Others are be-
ing picged up from time to time"
he added.
Col, Rosenfeld, former Philadel-
phia lawyer, participated In the first
trial involving the Mauthausen
atrocities, held last spring at Da-
chau, which resulted in So former
officials being sentenced to hang
and three being given life imprison-
ment. At this camp, the principal
determination" camp of the Nazis.
he said, no one knows how many
inmates were killed but he said evi-
dence of 25 1000 recorded deaths from
unnatural causes" was presented at
the trial.
A fact not publicized at that trial,
he said, was the manner in which
hundreds of Allied military pris-
oners, including some Americans"
were executed III a make believe
photographic studio at the camp.
There were never more than about
90 Americans at the camp. he said,
and all but one of those had been
killed when the camp was captured
by United States forces on May 4,
l945.
Explaining the methods of execut-
ing American and British soldiers
he said:
They were taken one at a time
into small room fitted up like a
Photographic studio and located
conveniently next to the crematory.
Each prisoner wa stold to sit in a
chair facing a camera. While expect
ing to have his picture taken, he
was shot in the back of the neck by
a guard"
Describing the wholesale slaugh-
ter of thousands in gas chambers,
Col. Rosenfeld said 10000 prisoners
were confined in the camp when it
was captured. The Germans had
planned to kill all of them, he said
but did not know how to dispose of
their bodies before the Americans
came. A witness at the first trial, he
said, described the Americans ar
