Fifteen Nazis
Found Guilty
II OF Barbarity

4 BERLIN Feb. 3-Fifteen
GNazis, eight men and seven wo-
men, were convicted today in
the international, court here, on
charges. of killing or torturing
more than 100000 civilian pris-
oners in a concentration camp
during the war.
At the time the crimes were
committed, the Nazis asserted
that the prisoners were operated
on ''in the interests of science"
Many of the witnesses who testi-
fled, during the eight weeks the
trial was in progress. gave liv-
ing testimony also by the multi
atoms of their bodies while in the
camp.
The prosecution characterized
as "barbaric" the excuse of the
defendenats.. in trying to hide
their brutality behind the "guise
of medical surgery"

Nary Experimental Diners At Work
TO Make 200 Dives; FIND Sponges

If Key West spongers could
follow group of the Nays ex-
perimental divers to the bottom
of the ocean out around Sand
Key light they would find plenty
of spongeS.
But it is doubtful whether the
spongers could bring the sponges
to the surface, for the divers are
going down to depths up to ITO
feet as they work testing expert
mental tables.
Twelve of the divers are going
down to the bottom of the sea
every day carrying on tests to de
termine how long a man can re-
main beneath the surface, at
varying depths, without getting
the dangerous bends-caused by
bubbles in the blood and tissues
as a result of working under air
pressure.
While their work is hazard
Gus and of highly technical ma
ture, these divers are young and
unreasonable, said Capt. 0; (
Van DerAue, MCUSN. who is in
charge of the experimental work
They love to go to the bottom
and bring up such things as
sponges and shells, and gasp al

the beauty of Florida's marine
garden.
Brings up Sponge
Some of their finds are real
ly interesting. A sponge one of
them picked up the other day re-
sembled a tree, with branches
growing off it.
Capt. Van DerAue explained
the intricate detail of the expert
ments being carried on here. For
every 33 feet a diver goes below
the surface he is subjected to a
pressure of Is pounds for each
square inch of his body surface.
When a man goes down to ITO
feet he is thus under 80 pounds
per square inch pressure.
In pressure tanks in the Navy
Gun Factory, Washington, D. c.,
the divers have been subjected to
depths up to 300 feet--or l48
pounds per square inch of pres
sure, while breathing compressed
air and to 500 feet or 237 pounds
per square inch of pressure while
breathing a helium-oxygen mix
