Experimental Laboratory In
Poland Inspected by Cor
respondents; Horrors Told
Br M. 8. Handlar
United Press Correspondent
Gdansk (Danzig), Poland, July
6 (Delayed) U,PJ An experi
mental laboratory for the manu
facture of aoap from human
bodies was inspected by corre
spondents 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.
Skulls Litter Area
Outside the laboratory the
ground is littered with whitened
human skulls and bones the
waste products of this ultimate
nazi atrocity.
There is no doubt about what
went on in this one-story, red
shingled gabled house. It is lo
cated in the yard behind the
buildings of the anatomical and
pharmacological institute of the
Danzig medical school, at No.
7- A Delbruck street which the
Poles have renamed Curie-Skla-dowski
street, in honor of Mme.
Curie.
One assistant who worked at
the laboratory has been cap
tured and we were allowed to
question the half-demented man.
His testimony filled in details of
factory.
On the ground floor the labo
ratory is divided Into two rooms.
Each is fitted with pressure boil
ers. They are of white enamel
and look like oversize washing
machines. There are also sev
eral smaller pressure chambers
in which bones were rendered.
The soap was poured out into
flat dishes or cylinders resem
bling ice-cream containers.
Fat Fills Bin
Alongside one pressure boiler
was a bin filled with dried hunks
of skin and fat, removed from
the human bodies, and ready for
the boiler. In one cylinder con
tainer there were vestiges of yel
low soap and a block of hard
ened flaky soap was on the table.
On a wall were two .black
boards on which the schedule of
work in progress was marked in
chalk.
In the basement of the ana
tomical school we saw tanks
filled with corpses of Poles and
Russians who had been hanged,
shot or guillotined and whose
bodies were used for laboratory
purposes. There were whole
bins filled with the heads of guil
lotined victims.
We questioned Slgmund Ma
zur. Identified as a laboratory
assistant, at the state security
headquarters here. He appeared
half-crazy. He Identified the di
rector of the laboratory as one
"Professor Spanner."
Mazur, 23, slight, thin-faced and
blond, was suffering from a ner
vous tick but his answers were
fairly coherent. He said he be
gan as an ordinary laboratory as
sistant at 120 marks a month
and finally was raised to 169
marks a month.
He said Professor Spanner ar
rived at the laboratory Feb. 15,
1941, and announced he had a
formula for making soap and
that production would be started.
Human fat, Mazur said, had been
accumulating since 1940 at the
institute.
Made Good Soap
Asked if the soap was good
quality, Mazur said it was.
He said that his mother knew
what he was doing and did not
approve of it but that "Spanner
knew what to do. He insisted
that my mother and sister use
the soap. They liked It."

Letter
With Just enough changes to
protect the Identification of the

a service man. I think I have,
as she says, been a little one

young woman presents the other

"On several occasions you
have, in your column, mentioned
the subject of wives who arelun

ago, I agreed with you whole
heartedly, only recently nave
I realized that attitude is a little
smug.
"Service men are given all
sorts of entertainment for mor

those "who also serve" the
wives and sweethearts have
little help from any one; only

the various clubs for wives oi
men in service help a lot, but

This waiting is not a natural life

help the wives and sweethearts
of men overseas Is to neip tne
men themselves.

try to picture yourself kissing
him as you longed to do in those

doesn't come clear. If I, who
had my husband for 10 years
