Flanders described McCarthy yesterday as “a desperate man... fat his day of judgment” at the of the Senate. In a companion speech Sen.

Cause Of Diver’s Collapse Probed By Navy Doctors, WASHINGTON — A young sailor, stricken while undergoing a training dive, was hospitalized in critical condition early today after more than 39 hours in a drum-like chamber to adjust him to normal atmospheric pressure. Arthur L. Appleton, 24, a ma- chinist’s mate from Carbondale, Il., was sent to Bethesda Naval Medical Center at 3 a.m. for treat- ment and ‘a diagnosis of what caused him to collapse during a simulated deep-sea dive. Lt. Cmdr. Walter A. Wilson, who heads the diving school at the Na- val Gun Factory here, called Ap- vleton’s mishap ‘‘a bizarre case.” He said he could find ‘none on record like it.” Appleton, in diving gear, sub- merged in a special tank to a nres- sure equalling that of 100 feet Tues- day morning. He comolained to a companion of feeling dizzy. Raised to the surface, he was hurried into a decompression chamber. Navy medical officers and hos- pitalmen worked constantly to bring Appleton back to normal out- side pressure.
