"this is the first time ever technology has gone from image to image," said Denise Bywater, fingerprint technician. The system has been in operation now for about three weeks. "We will now submit prints for a search that would have otherwise languished in the case file," said Provo Police Chief Swen Nielsen. "We have cases where we have prints but nothing to compare them to. Now we may even bring up old cases with prints and submit those." AFIS changes the whole process of finding criminals to match CZECH: AP Laserphoto Eva Mozes Kor holds photographs of her and her twin sister and a group of Jews being freed from a concentration camp. Survivor of Mengele's experiments on twins blasts use of data - A death BOSTON (AP) camp survivor who was one of 13,600 twins subjected to Josef ; Mengele's infamous experiments voiced her outrage at a confer- -' ence Monday on Nazi medicine, condemning the use of that data in scientific research. "No one should benefit from brutal crimes," said Eva Mozes : Kor, 54, president of CANDLES, stands for Children of ; which Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Ex- periments Survivors. ; "I'm hurt by scientists who say we should use Nazi data," Kor told about 300 people during the international conference at Boston University. "I feel the victims have paid with lifelong suffering." Some biomedical ethicists con- tend that the issue is moot, because Nazi research already has been cited in American and British journals. They argue that the data, despite its source, have the potential to save human life. Kor's recollection of her experiences at the Auschwitz-Birken-a- u concentration camp in occupied Poland during World War II was one of the most dramatic at the symposium on Nazi doctors and parallels in modern medicine. "Nothing on Earth can prepare you for Auschwitz," said Kor. "It is hell on Earth." Kor, a Jew from Romania who lives in Terre Haute, Ind., said .the trauma of the camps has ; never left her. In 1987, she donated a kidney to her identical - twin, Miriam, whose kidneys had " seriously deteriorated because of the injections they received in the camps. "I would like to know what I was injected with but I can't even find our files, said Kor, who was 9 when she and her sister were imprisoned. "We don't even know where all the : " - . near-deadl- y data is." Kor and her sister were one of sets of twins who endured genetic experiments during 10 months at Auschwitz-BirkenaHer story, accompanied by stark photographs of her family and the camp, left many in the audience weeping. When she finished, some gave her a standing , ovation. Kor said she cannot remember her life before she was 5, when I the Germans began occupying 1,800 u. 'Romania. "I was never a free person, never experienced freedom until I came to Israel in 1950," she said in an interview before her talk. Kor, her parents, two older sisters and her twin arrived at Auschwitz in a packed train in April 1944. She said she remembers her mother clutching her hand and her sister's hand when they were shoved off the train onto a platform. Her father and two older sisters disappeared into the crowd. They were never heard from again. An SS soldier yelled in German for twins, and pulled her and her sister away, Kor said. She looked back and saw her mother being dragged away, arms outstretched toward the twins and crying. "I never saw her again," Kor said. The sisters were taken to a special barracks for twin girls, who were 18 months to 12 years old, where they began a grim routine that lasted until the Allies liberated the camp in Janu- ary 1945. Three days a week, for nine hours at a time, Kor and her sister stood naked with a dozen other sets of twins in a laboratory where Nazi doctors prodded, poked and examined them. Three times a week, the twins were taken to another laboratory where blood samples were taken from Kor's right arm and her left arm was injected with germs and chemicals. Kor became very sick after one injection and was taken to a barracks for the dying. "No one that I'm aware of ever came back from there," she said. While sick, Kor was not given any medicine, food or water, but was monitored by Mengele and his doctors several times a day. Kor once heard Mengele ' say, "Too bad, she's so young, she only has two weeks to live." At that point, Kor vowed to survive. She later discovered the doctors carefully monitored her sister during the same period. Kor said the goal was to wait until she died, then give her sister a fatal injection and conduct comparative autopsies. fingerprints. Before, if the police had a fingerprint from a crime scene, they also had to have a suspect with which to maich to the fingerprint Now, they can just run any fingerprint through the computer. Latents, (nonvisible fingerprints left at a crime scene by a criminal) have little to no value without a suspect. In one of the thousands of success stories, the Night Stalker, who was involved in 13 southern California homicides, was caught because of an AFIS system. The old way of matching fingerprints was to visibly count the ridges of a fingerprint and if at least 12 points could be matched to the latent the police would have a positive identification. The computer doesn't count the ridges of other parties if they endorse the opposition coalition's ideals, fore- (Continued from Page Al) border. The protests replaced the euphoria of a week ago, when the popular movement to end 41 years of orthodox Communist rule brought down the old hard-lin- e leadership. Many demonstrators feel the Communists are reneging on promises of reform. Opposition leaders threatened to call a general strike on Monday if Adamec does not form a new national government by Sunday that includes more Last week, the Communist Party officially relinquished its monopoly on power and Adamec raised people's hopes by promising a coalition government.

"They've got some things to sell but not much that Americans or other countries will want to buy," Mitchell said. The administration has promised to give Moscow increased benefits, and to support its bid to participate in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, an international trading organization, in exchange for Soviet relaxation of emigration restrictions on Soviet Jews. inter- Rep. Lee Hamilton, was organized by Civic Forum as a Commureferendum on nist rule. The strike paralyzed the country as millions of people poured into the streets. But the Communists hold all the key ministries on the new Cabinet. Thirteen members are holdovers from the administration that resigned last month under public pressure. The Civic Forum, moving away from its previously stated role as strictly an opposition coalition, said it would propose its own candidates for a new government. Civic Forum spokesman JL'i Dienstbier said the opposition faces increasing public demands to establish a clear-cpolitical program. He said Civic Forum could endorse candidates who are members one-par- ty ut most among them free elections, speech and assembly. In another indication of the strength of opposition pressure, a parliamentary commission appointed to investigate the harsh police repression of a student demonstration on Nov. 17 delivered its report. CTK said the committee reported that 1,569 riot police used brutal and undue force against the demonstrators. Public outrage at the police tactics helped launch what became 11 straight days of massive demonstrations. The commission report said an undetermined number of demonstrators suffered serious injuries, including internal bleeding and spinal damage. The report dismissed as unrealistic the Interior Ministry statement that 44 demonstrators were injured. mittee, said the events in Eastern Europe upstaged the summit, reaffirming the fact that "the two most powerful countries in the world don't make all the key decisions viewed on CNN's "Sunday Today," about the world." said he expects Bush to have more Aspin in a statement also called trouble with Republicans than Dem- the two-da- y superpower session a ocrats in getting ratification of "potatoes summit.
