Diver Must Wait
In Air Chamber
With Dead Buddy

LONG BEACH. Calf. April 6
up A deep sea diver sits today
in the lonely confines of a de-
compression chamber with the
body of a buddy he tried to
nurse through a siege of the
bends"
William Biller. SO. cannot be
released until later today, when
air pressure in the chamber is
gradually brought to normal.
Mr.. Biller was locked in the
chamber at the Long Beach
Naval Shipyard Thursday with
Eldon Smith, 81, fellow diver
from nearby Wilmington.
Mr.. Smith was stricken while
inspecting oil drilling equipment
in 204 feet of water off the
Redondo Beach pier.
He was being brought up and
was within 30 feet of the sur
face when he began screaming
in his helmet. The bends had
hit.
The bends result from nitro
gen bubbles forming in the
bloodstream during a too rapid
decomposition of the diver.
Mr.. Smith. with Mr.. Biller
attending him. was locked in
the chamber, which resembles
a large iron lung. Mr.. Smith
recovered consciousness and
seemed to be recovering when
he died early yesterday. Doc
tors said the nitrogen bubble
apparently reached his brain.
So Mr.. Biller had to sit and
wait. alone with death.

Communists Busy in Latin America

munist organizations thrive on
relationships. Their activities
are better hidden in such sit
uations than they could pos
sibly be in a democratically
run country. While the die
tators keep the lid on, they
quietly and effectively work on
the poverty-stricken elements
in the population, sowing dis
content and most of all hatred
of America-the Yankee i'm
perialists.
Perhaps the gravest indict-
ment of our grand giveaway
program is its failure to cope
with this existing threat so
near to our own borders. While
our dollars and technical ex-
perts and big thinkers are busy
in Iran and Morocco and Bur-
ma and Baluchistan, the econ
omies of Central and South
America stumble along in pow
erty while the Communists
bore busily away. preparing for
the day when their efforts will
bear vicious fruit. When that
day comes. there will be cold
comfort for the United States
and for the entire free world.
If these generous giveaways
are to continue, why not scat
ter some Of them to these areas
where the threat is nearest?
Why not sponsor a thorough

SibIey Hints Preference
For Training School Site

The Sibley Memorial Hospital
board of trustees yesterday indi-
Gated they might prefer the
proposed grounds of the old
National Training School for
Girls as the site for their new
hospital rather than the Ameri-
can University campus.
The group yesterday issued
a statement indicating that If
a Senate bill is acted upon so
that the site can be definitely
offered before ground is broken
at the university, it might be
the answer.
Selection of hospital site on
the American University campus
started a long-running battle
with residents Of nearby Spring
Valley and Wesley Heights. The
fight. which started before zon-
ing authorities three years ago,
did not end until last year when
the Supreme Court refused to
review the case, thereby permit
ting the hospital to proceed with
its campus proposal.
Earlier this week, a bill was
introduced in the Senate at the
request of DR.. John NJ. Orem,
hospital president, to make the
training school site, at Lough-
boro and Little Falls roads NV,
available.
The board Of trustees said In q
statement that the Loughboro
road site would be preferable II

but will proceed with plans for
construction on the present site
until the new one is definitely
available"
Earlier In the day--before this
last statement-Dr. Orem indi-
Gated the board would only con-
slider the site.
He said architects drawings
have been made of the new hos
pital scheduled for the Ameri-
can University site and that
working drawings are now In
progress.

House Approval
OF Commerce
Fund Cut Seen
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

A $217.8 million cut by the
House Appropriations Committee
in the Commerce Departments
1853 fiscal year budget requests
seemed almost certain today to
be upheld when the House acts
on the bill Tuesday.
But In contrast to it's seven
day marathon in slashing the
appropriation bill for the Labor
and Health, Education and We'll
fare Departments. the House
showed no inclination to trim
much more than the committee
recommended on the Commerce
Department measure.
rs Per Cent Cut
The bill, as reported out by
the committee yesterday. would
allot $653,685,0 900 for the fiscal
year beginning next July /. That
was a IS per cent cut from the
$871.5 million President Essen
hover asked for the Commerce
Department.
Principal reductions by the
committee included a complete
cutoff of the $105,100 sought for
the controversial Office of Stra-
tegic Information, and deferral
of a $62 million replacement for
the transatlantic liner America.
The committee gave no rea-
son for its refusal to provide
funds for OSI. Its action, how
ever, was not entirely unex-
|pected. Some members Of the
committee voiced considerable
criticism at closed hearings on
the bill earlier this month. They
raised questions whether the
agency was acting as a "cen-
sor." The OS1's function is to
keep valuable information from
falling into the hands of I'M
friendly foreign nations.
Shipping Agency Hit
Another saving chalked up by
the committee was in an order
directing the War Shipping Ad-
ministration to return 1852 mil
lion in unspent funds to the
Treasury.
This is the seventh 1858 de-
partmental appropriation bill
sent to the House thus far this
year. The six already passed by
the House have contained cuts
aggregating more than 81 billion
from the administrations re-
quests in the overall $72 billion
budget.

everywhere else. But what
will it avail us If we concen-

those areas while the comrades

The existence of Commu-

able to keep the Reds in check,
but his situation is precarious.
And even if the Chilean 1au-

the situation, the disorganiza-

Communists are directing can
render the government power
less and paralyze the nations

IL, 1918, Army combat losses
amounted to $3.50 killed, 1884,
633 wounded. Nonbattle deaths
totaled 69,446. The Army deaths
included airmen, then part of
the Army.
Other Allied nations, including
the British, French and Russians,
suffered more heavily. But they
went to war in 1914.
There is still uncertainty about
the cost in dollars of World
War I. An official Army pub
Ilication says "World War / cost

lion" Other estimates, equally
official. say that during the war
the outlay was $27 billion, but
that 10 years afterward the cost
ha dclimbed to $50 billion-in-
icluding such things as veterans
benefits and bonuses.
In World War II there were
1,078.674 American casualties, Of
which 407. 1923 were deaths-293..
986 in battle.
OF the total United States cas-
ualties. 884,135 were Army lin
cluding the Army Air Force, the
rest in the Navy, Coast Guaro
and Marine Corps.
The initial cost of World Wal
II is estimated at about $3.50
billion-about Is times greater
than the first war. Projecting
the cost through years to come
of paying debts and veterans
benefits, some officials have
guessed that eventually it might
mount to more than ST trillion
