MANY TAXPAYERS
 GUILTY OF ERROR
Remitting Payments With Form VIZ Contrary to
 Government Procedure

With an estimated 900 900 persons expected to file 1914 Income Tax returns before the March 18th dead line, Frank w. Kraemer, collector of internal revenue for the district of Connecticut. announced that ap- proximately 100000 persons have al- ready filed Form 1040 while an es- timated 77,0OO other persons have taken advantage of filing on the Form W-2 to date.
 The collector also stated that great many persons are remitting payments when using Form VIZ for filing a return and this is not the correct procedure. People using Form VIZ as return are again advised that the collectors office will compute the tax or refund due and bill for any tax due will then be mailed. This payment is due within 30 days from date billed.
 Persons using the Form 1040 and showing a tax due are also reminded that this payment is due in full with the return.
 MT. Kraemer also stressed that a great many persons using the new U. s. Postal Notes for payment of their tax are failing to designate the payor's name on the face of the nate, while others are failing to en- dorse the note on the reverse side and advised all persons using these notes to take the above precautions so as to rceive proper credit.
 The new VIZ form for the year 1945 is now being mailed to all em- ployers and all employers are again reminded htat any employe termin- ating their employment should re- ceive this W-2 form within 30 days after such employment terminates.

Clearing and colder weather is predicted for tonight. as the pre- dicted 6-1O inch snowfall failed to mat arialize.

 Medical Men
By ROBERT w. RICHARDS


 With U. s. 76th Division across Sauer river, Feb. 14-(UP)-Pfc, William R. Forpanek of Chicago stared almost disbelievingly at the broken pieces of German pillboX,
 We won that fight, all right" he said, but just the same it wasn't like they said it would be. Hell, 1t wasn't nothing like they said"
 Forpanek and his weary buddleS had just dropped back to the ast bank of the river for few minutes rest after their first taste of fight ing the Germans.
 Tell 'em ho wit was, William, said Pvt. Walter Kudzia ot Law renee, Mass, pulling at his five day old beard. "You tell 'em."
 Well" began Forpanek "back in the United States when we were training they told us you ran at a pillbox smack up the middle of the alley and you attack with flame throwers or maybe arm loads of dynamite.
 But when we crossed the river and banged into this pillbox we didn't have no flame throWers and we didn't h ave no dynamite. We didn't have nothing except our rifles, few hand grenades and one bar because our boat overturned and we lost most of our gear.
 From the very first those krauts pinned up down with machine gun fire. It was plain an any guy you couldn't take that pillbox by run ming up the middle so W went at it from both sides and We worked behind it and ltaer we borrowed some bazookas and finished it off. .'
 And no one back in the states told them how accurate German 88s could be, Forpanek continued.
 Boy they parted our hair in the | middle. Four of us were in fox hole and a shell scored direct hit But it hanged against a wooden box just over our heads and for some reason we pulled out all right"
 There is ne other big thing they didn't tell us about" put in weary eyed Pvt. Angelo Raffo of Quincy Mass. "rhey didn't tell us how damned wonderful our medics are
 Forpanek said two medics were killed while walking behind him.
 "The Germans shot them just as if they were anyone else"

(Bv THE OUT EASTER)

Back in olden days around Wa terbury, the city had many drum corps. It has quite few today, but nothing in comparison with years ago. Then no permit was re" quired to parade, and on every Saturday night, as rule, the crowds around the center had g. chance to listen to the sort of mu- sic handed up by a set of snare drummers, plus some piccolas and flies. But 1t was mainly drums and flies in days gone by.
 One person died during the past week who generally figured in many of these parades held by the drum corps of other days. We re- fer to Wilfred Culbert of 135 South Elm street. No one around now took part in more street pro- sessions. He was drummer, an expert in his line, they say, and his services were generally in de- mand, if not by drum corps, by one of the several brass bands of the city. But it was his connection with the Hellmann Drum Corps o1 the early nineteen hundreds that we knew him best. The corps was organized in the name of the old Hellmann Brewery, and the uni forms of gray adopted after mili- tary style and bearing. There was a pike or tassel to the type of hel- met worn, along with chin strap. It was a snappy dress, and prob- ably the slickest of any of it's day around here. My, how proud each member was when he slipped on his helmet, and adjusted the strap under his chin. Wilfred Culbert was always in line with the He'll mann Corps. He never missed an

Fish Famine .OnIyA Rumor
Ry BEVERLY PHILLIPS

Boston, Feb. 14.-CUP)-If the weather is mostly fair thereW be enough fish for the Lenten season that begins today.
 That's the opinion of H. M. Bearse of the U s. Fish and Wild life Service. He disagreed with au- thorities who had predicted fish famine in New England because of the meat shortage, bad fishing weather, and the increased demands of Lent.
 T take more optimistic view, Bearse said in an interview. He cited these reasons why he thought New England would scrape through the season as regards fish supplies:
 l. Boston's fishing fleet now is slightly larger than its pre-War fleet, though it has fewer large traW- lers. The government has returned a dozen fishing boats to Boston. 15 to Gloucester and six or seven to New Bedford.
 2. The catch is usually good dur ing the Lenten season because the fish are spawning.
 3. Our fishing fleets have plenty of manpower at this time. This is partly due to the fact that the Seine fishermen take wintertime jobs with the fleets.
 Bearse figured that the meat shortage had increased the demand for fish by about 50 per cent. He said the traditional Lenten jump would be another 50 per cent.
 Fish receipts at Boston last month totaled about 9,400,000 pounds as compared with 16,361 ,790 pounds in January 1941, the last normal year. Bearse pointed to the fact that this production was proportionately better than 1944's catch. That to- taled 43,932,824 pounds as com pared with 299,37O,320 pounds in 1941.
 BearSe said that normally about 80 per cent of the New England catch is shipped to other parts of the country, but that outside ship ments would be reduced if short age developed here.
 As a Sidellght, BearSe cited these regional preferences in fish: East haddock, cod and mackerel. Mid West-osefish. West-salmon and halibut. South-Snappers.
 But east meets west on the ques- ton of shellfish," Bearse said, with lobster deluxe treat on anyone's table"

JopArmyAnd
 At Odds

Baltimore. Feb. 14-(UP)-The Japanese army and navy are quar- reling and are blaming each other for reverses in the Pacific, Erie R.. Dickover, chief of the State Depart ment's Japanese divisoin said today
 But that, he told an Engineers club luncheon, is no reason for op- timism about an early end of the war against Japan.
 In addition to the evident antag- onism," he said the thinking peo- pie of Japan may possibly come for ward at any time with an offer of a negotiated peace" It will sound reasonable but would in fact leave Japan the victor in the Far East, he added.
 "This we must not accept" Dick over said. 'The war must go on until we are in a position to destroy the Japanese war machine, root and branch, and to take steps that it shall never be rebuilt.
 That will be the peace of uncon- ditional surrender, giving us the power to destroy all that has made Japan menace to civilization"

Blood PIuSmo Substitute OK

Pasadena, Cal, Feb. 14-(UP)-A successful substitute for blood plas- ma has been made from gelatin after three years research, pr. Lewis Pauling and Dr. Dan H. Campbell disclosed today.
 The substance, developed at the California institute of technology, is known as oxypolygelatin. It has proved successful in experiments witk volunteer clinical patients, Dr. Campbell said.
 While it is not expected that OK ypolygelatin will immediately re- place blood plasma, Dr. Campbell saic it produces the desired effects in transfusicns. The gelatin plasma is nontoXic.
 Research and development of the substitute plasma was carried on under a contract with the commit tee on medical research Of the of- flee of scientific research and de- velopment. a branch of the national research council of the National Academy of Science at Washington.

Pole Problem Thorn-WoIsh

Boston, Feb. 14-(UP)-The deci- Sions reached at the Crimean con- ference of the Big Three" found opposition today in New England.
 U. s. Sen. David l. Walsh, D., Mass, said in statement that "the present announcement leaves many doubts and apprehensions as to the part the smaller nations are to play in the past-War world"
 "The proposals respecting Poland, both political and territorial, are shocking to all those who profess adherence to the cause of freedom and the right of self determination" :" Walsh said. "They are wholly at variance with the Atlantic Charter pledge"
 He said the Polish question consti- tutes lone of the thorniest problems of Europe, but to settle it on Rus sian terms is frightful injustice 70 brave people"
 "IH Poland or any part of 1t is to De put in human bondage, it shows to what extent principle can be sac riflced on the altar of expediency, Walsh said.
 At Lynn, 5000 members of the Polish- American society drafted resolutions condemning the Big Three" decisions and sent copies to the Massachusetts congressional del egation.
 The Rev. Francis E. Low, s. J. chairman of the philosophy depart ment at Boston college, termed the conference major victory for Pre- mier Stalin and Communism n Europe. He said the participants 1T the conference pair only Hip serv' lee" to the principles of the Atlantic Charter while grossly violating them in effect"

engagement. He was young like the other members, and felt happy and pleased each time the corps was engaged to lead an organlza- tion. The member ship was large, and the drums and flies up to date. The music supplied was in keeping with the best of the day, and unison was the keynote of the organization. Admittedly, it was the best of the time. and so it was, there were plenty of en- agreements for the organizations. The name held well with the peo- pie, and on this account, the two leading political parties never hesitated to employ the outfit, for their political parades.
 Wilfred Culbert made friends by the thousands; he was built that way. Quiet in manner, con- siderate in his conversation, he gained the confidence of people at the very outset, and held their esteem all during his life time. Employed of late years by the Blake and Johnson Company, he knew all of the other employees, and held their goodwill from the first day he entered the factory An expert workman, he was always in a position to demand employment, and thus it was, he lost few days in the many years he was engaged in factory assign ment. He was member of the Musicians Union. with which he and been connected from his first days as a member of the He'll mann Corps. Many kind words were expressed concerning him by the ones who knew him best, as his body was viewed in the few days preceding burial.
