ERAL HOSPITAL IN ENGLAND,
by Main An apparatus for trans
fusion of whole blood to wounded
men within battle lines has just
been devised by two Harvard med
ical school specialists here.
Weighing only 35 pounds and
simple to operate, it could be used
to advantage at field dressing sta
tions where soldiers are brought
suffering from severe shock and loss
of blood.
The same apparatus can be used
to draw blood from a healthy donor
and to inject it into the veins Of a
desperately wounded soldier. 1t is
the result of months of experiments
with improvised apparatus-it is
packed, for example, in an ammu-

House Group Nears
Completion Of Tax
SimpIification Bill
Would Raise Levies
But End Returns by
10000, 900 Citizens
(Tdble on, PAGE A-3.)

By the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means
Committee put finishing touches
today on a bill to free some 30,-
000,000 taxpayers from the an
nual chore of computing annual
returns, including a new system
of withholding levies against
wages and salaries.
Higher for most taxpayers. the
new withholding levels, if finally
written into law by Congress, would
collect the full tax liability of per-
sons earning up to $1,000 annually
Under plans of the committee, the
new schedules would become effec-
tive January l. There would be no
change in amounts held out of pay
envelopes and salary checks this
year.
The committee planned to con-
slider the withholding tables today
and Chairman Doughton expressed
hope that the bill could be pre-
sented to the House next week.
Others Would Get Aid.
Not only would 3O,0OO,0OO be re-
lieved of computing returns, he said
but the 100000 other income tax
payers would be given relief by SIM
plif1ed procedures of tax computa-
ton.
A competent tax source disclosed
details Of the revised withholding
proposals, Congress first adopted
the withholding principle last year
as part of the pay-as-you-go tax
bill
The law now requires employers
to deduct and transmit to the
Treasury 20 per cent of the taxable
portions of wages and salaries-that

STOCKHOLM, April 22.-Adolf
Hitler's newspaper, Voelkischer
Beobachter, bluntly warned the
German homefront today that it
will be confronted this summer or
even this spring by the hardest and
bloodiest battles of history.
Picturing the probability of a
western invasion launched simulta-
neously with new Russian offen-
sive, the newspaper indirectly
limited that new territorial losses
might be expected with this answer
as to how the German command
will meet another Soviet offensive:
There are territories which can
be given up even if it should hurt,
but there are others which must
be held at any price"
This summer may be the last
bloody war summer" 1t went on.
