By Mm. 8. HANDLER United Press Staff Correspondent GDANSK (Danzig), Poland, July 8 (Delayed).—An experimental laboratory for the manufacture of soap from human bodies’ was inspected by correspondents today. This chamber of horrors is one of the few buildings still intact in this ancient Hanseatic city. Still standing in the laboratory are the pressure boilers, the soap

residue, tanks of chopped human fat ‘and flesh. Outside the laboratory the «ground is littered with whitened human skulls and bones—the waste. products of this Uitimate. Nazi atrocity. There is no' doubt about what went on in this one-story, redshingled gabled house. It is located In the yard behind the building of the anatomical and pharmacological ine
stitute of the Danis Medical
. school, at No. 7-A Delbruck st—
which the Poles have renamed - Curie-Skladowska st., in honor of Mme. Curie. One assistant who worked at the laboratory has been captured and we were allowed to ‘question the half-demented man. His testimony filled Mn details of the factory. On the ground floor the laboratory is divided into two rooms. Each has pressure boilers.

There also are several smaller pressure chambers in which bones were rendered, The soap was poured out into flat dishes or cylinders resembling ice-cream containers. The “final boilers in which the soap was refined are rectangular enamel tanks with a spigot at the lower right hand side.

Alongside one pressure boiler was a bin filled with dried hunks of skin' and fat, removéd from the human bodies, and ready for the boiler: "In one.cylinder container there were vestiges of yellow soap and @ block of hardened flaky soap was on the table. Ona wall were two blackboards on which the schedule of work

In. the basement of the anatomical school we saw tanks. filled
with corpses of Poles and Russians. who had been hanged, shot or guillotined and whose bodies weré used for laboratory purposes.
© There were whole bins filled with *
the heads of guillotined victims. We questioned Sigmund Mazur, identified as a laboratory assist ant, at-the—state security headquarters here. He appeared half crazy. He identified the director of the laboratory as one “Professor Spanner.”
“ Mazur, 25, “slight, thin-faced and blond, was suffering from.a nervous tic but his answers were , fairly coherent. He said he be.gan as an ordinary laboratory fssistant at ‘120 marks a month
and finally was, raised to 169’
marks a month, He said Professor Spanner arrived at the laboratory Feb. 15, 1944, and announced he had a formula for making soap and that production would be started. Hu-
mah fat, Mazur said, had been ace cumulating since 1940 at the institute, Mazur said that he didn’t sell any of the soap in the black mar ket because he would have been shot if he evaded the rationing regulations. Asked if the soap was good qual‘ity, Mazur said it was,”” He ‘said that the soap was produced only during the winter months for the
. use of some 400 students.
Says Germany
Threat to Peace of World
By MARSHALL Mc¢NEIL-Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July 10.—~We and
our allies licked the Nazis, Our bombs made rubble of their sities. We ruined their industry — we | thought. Yet today the senate's Kilgore eommittee made this solemn statement: “Germany in: defeat remains a major threat to the peace of the world.” . Germany today, sald Senator Harley Kilgore of West Virginia, is better able to make good on her plot for world conquest than she was at the end of world war L The senator and his committee reached this conclusion after. hearing detailed reports on Germany's war power from government experts. The senator and some of hig colleagues went to gomny to see for themselves.
Lists Four Resources
In their report today they spelled out what must be done to dispel the Nazi threat. They pointed the way for the Big Three meeting at Berlin, a meeting which President Truman has .described as a peace conference. No successful and lasting peace ean be attained, said the Kilgore report, unless we kill the German plans for war-making, and unless we destroy Germany's power to Bitke war, . In what we call defeat the Kilgore committee said Germany has |: these four resources: 1. “The world’s third strongest industrial economy.” 2. “Tremendous industrial recuperative powers.” 3. “A world-wide network of economic and political reserves and a system of commercial inter-rela-tionships penetrating the economies of other nations.” Unity Defeated Them, 4. “The science of aggression perfected by her leading industrialists, militarists, and ‘politicians to reverse the decisions of the battlefleld.” ‘ ‘The report said German plotters discovered the unity of the Big Three was the decisive weapon that defeated them. Up to the very last, they tried to break up Amerfea, Russia and Britain. ‘They failed, “To wipe out these resources,” the committee said, “demands the same determination and inter-allied unity which defeated Germany on the battlefield.” Our bombing knocked out critical parts of German industry. It cut off their oil. It messed their communications. It did not, however, ‘destroy German industry, the report said. Then Senator . Kilgore got down to cases. Ranked With U. S. “upor example,” he said, “Germany’s iron and steel industry, the second largest in the world, can be put into operation with only minor repairs. > “Approximately. 40 per cent of the world’s pre-war - output of chemical nitrogen, a basic element in explosives, was produced in Germany, A large portion of this capacity remains undamaged or ean readily be rebuilt, “Germany's pre-war production of coal tar, another vital element in the manufacture of explosives, .ranked with that of the U. 8. This capacity was expanded during the war. It was not materially reduced by military action. “Germany’s synthetic rubber: capacity is currently more than 100,000 tons per year.” That isn’t all: lasted six months more, Germany's synthetic oil industry would have yeu Tee baths underground. By fall
If the war had
Remains Major
she would have been- hitting New York with V-2 bombs. . Making allowances for damage and normal wear and tear, Germany still has four million tons of machine tools. She also has a “vast undamaged capacity for producing new machine tools.” To use this industry, Germany must have money. The committee said the Nazis made tremendous efforts to hide their assets abroad, awaiting the time when they could be used again to finance war, We have tried to discover these safe havens of Nazi funds, and to make them safe no more. But, the committee said, “the evidence is unmistakable that German influence is. still strongly entrenched in this hemisphere, particularly in Argentina.” The United States itself Ymay be one of the most important safe havens for German assets.”
Study Bank Accounts
We have tied up over half a billion dollars held in secret Swiss bank accounts here. We don't dare ffee Dutch assets here until all are carefully studied to find German influence. : Our agents are studying the German records of such world-wide cartels as I. G. Farben to discover where other assets are hidden. And, by the way, when our agents question key industrial leaders in‘ Germany, the latters’ arrogance is unbelievable, “These leaders,” the report said, “confidently expect to be rescued from their present plight by powerful British and American friends who were their former cartel affiliates.” - These German indusfrialists who first backed Hitler—secretly — have developed aggression into a science, the report said. : “This science,” the report continued, “rests on a series of major deceptions: 1. “That the war of aggression is the product of a few Nazi fanatics. 2. “That the German econumy is a normal civilian economy and should be’ maintained as such. 3. “That the entire network of relationships between German cartels and monopolies of other countries is essential to the conduct of international trade and industrial progress. -4, “That German science and German Scientists are an instrument of human progress. 5. “That the allies have less to fear from Germany than they have to fear from one another.”
Desires Annual Reports
To Insure that Germany never again will be able to make war the report showed we must— Break down with the truth the major lies upon which the German industrialists base their science of aggression, ' Discover and take charge of all German hidden assets. Remove from German industry all power to make war and the implements of war. Take charge of the generals and the industrialists, so that their plotting “for world conquest never again will come close to success. The committee asked particularly for a thorough study of German industrial records. And it wants reports each year for the next 15 years on the progress of German disarmament.. .

DEMOCRATS SHY AT 3 TERM BAN
Presidential Tenor Up to People, They Say.
_ By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July KW.—Congressional Democrats, whose ‘party was dominated for 13 years by the late Franklin D. Roosevelt, generally shied away today from the proposals that the rid-third-term rule be imposed by law upon presidential tenure. But there was more than a spark of Democratic interest in the house judiciary - committee. Chairman Hatton W. Sumners (D. Tex.), an influential statesman, indicated that his committee probably would take up the whole question of presidential tenure after the summer recess. If Sumners and his powerful committee get behind the proposal for a constitutional amendment limiting presidential service to two four-year terms, the project is likeIy to get somewhere—at least in the house. Barkley “Not Keen”
Senator Lister Hill (D. Ala.), who nominated Mr. Roosevelt for a fourth term before the Democratic national convention, opposed limitation. He said the proposal was merely a Republican political maneuver. o Senator Alben W. Barkley (D. Ky.), who became Democratic leader- of the senate in 1937 through the personal intervention of ‘Mr. Roosevelt said: “I'm not keen for limiting the people in their choice for a President. I see no ‘reason why the people should tie their own hands in advance.” House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. of Massachusetts, gave the no-third-term movement its first major boost over the weekend. He urged that congress submit to the states this year a constitutional amendment limiting presidential service to two terms of four years each. Senator Wayne L. Morse (R. Ore.) introduced in the senate yesterday a resolution to prevent a third term. Various similar propositions are pending of have been suggested. But it is recognized that this Republican proposal of Martin's must have Democratic backing if it is to get anywhere soon. President Truman will be asked to express an opinion on a constitutional limitation. The question of presidential tenure might go considerably farther than a mere limitation to two terms of four years each, The constitution now provides only that the executive power shall be vested in a President and that he shall hold office during a term

ST. LOUIS, July 10 (U. P.).~— Sealed in a letter speeding from a St. Louis mother to a Belgian mamma, was the hope for happie« ness today of a G.

Baker who, she wrote, had asked to marry the girl. Addressed “to the burgermaster of the town of Sint Lewis,” the Belgian mother wrote, in French, that she would like to know something about the G. 1s patents—a natural instinct among methers the world over.
= » = THE soldier's parents were identified only as Mr, and Mrs, Baker “who live on Minnesota st.” That was enough for Mayor Kaufmann, who soon was in touch with Mrs. J. A. Baker here. Mrs. Baker said, yes, her son was named William M., he was 23 and he was in Europe. She said she hadn't about romance with a Belgian girl, but that she was. sure the letter was moat. bm,

Indiana's Republican administration today picked a Democrat to head an entire state department, something slightly rarer than the atmosphere at 40,000 feet. Herbert P, Kenney of New Albany is the man. He was reappointed director of the Indiana legislative bureau as it was reorganized by the 1945 general assembly. “That should prove we Republicane are willing to tbss politics aside on occasion,” said -one statehouse official. Mr. Kenney directed the old legislative bureau under the Democrats for seven years.

SMOKELESS DEVICE GETS FACTORY TRIAL
The first industrial installation of a smokeless boiler device, developed by the Illinois Central
{railroad, has been made at the
U. S. Corrugated Fibre Box Co,, 1409 Roosevelt ave. A demonstration was held this morning at ‘the . plant, witnessed by, company officials and Charles Bacon, city building commissioner. Plans for the installation were provided by Mr. Bacon, to whom the railroad made them available for general distribution. : The principle is simple, engineers explained. It is merely the introduction of more oxygen into a firebox, causing more complete burning of fuel. In the operation of this device, steam is the medium of introducing the oxygen. Any kind of coal, including the softest, may - be used. The device was installed at a cost of léss than $100, box company officials said.

Horse Player, Broke, Kills
Tipster, One
LOS ANGELES, July 10 (U P). —Joe Newman, 60, today had the revenge he wanted for the ‘loss of his life savings on the horse races.
" David Caplan, 44, publisher of a| horse race tip sheet, died today of]
wounds inflicted by Newman late yesterday. He was the third to die of shots fired by Newman, a retired diamond broker who lost $20,000 on bad racing tips. Newman also killed Roy Allen Walker, 57, and then shot himself in Caplan’s office. Police said Caplan also was known as “Longshot Dave Brennan” and had a record of arrests at Cleveland, Dallas, Omaha and San Francisep. Newman's daughter, Mrs, Mamie Cohan, said her father was a retired diamond broker, “They took him for everything he had,” she sobbed. She said that her mother divorced Newman many years ago because he dropped $10,000 on one race. Just before he began losing heavily, Mrs. Cohan
said her father had won $3500 on |
one race through “sure-fire” tipsters. Caplan’s wife, Evelyn, told police she was in the receptionist’s office when Newman and Walker entered “Come in, Joe,” she said she heard her husband call from his office. “I'm glad to see you.” The men entered, she said, and almost immediately she heard a shot ring out, followed by four more. She found Newman on the

floor, ead; Walker in a chair, also dead, and her husband bleeding profusely from bullet wounds, “I'm killed,” she said he told her. “Newman shot me.”
