Frank w. Kraemer, Collector of Internal Revenue for the District of Connecticut announced today that employers desiring sample copies of the revised Withholding Receipts (Form W-2) for the year 1945 will be able to obtain them in the near future at GA Pearl Street, Hartford, Conn. A full supply of the new WIZ forms will be available by about October 1st and can be obtained from any office of the revenue de- partment in the state in the usual manner. MT. Kraemer pointed out that any employer wishing to print his own receipts must submit samp- les for approval to the Commission CT of Internal Revenue, Washington, 25, D. c.
 Form WIZ is the receipt which every employer is required by law to furnish each employe at the end of each year Cor upon termination of employment if it occurs at an earlier date) and shows amount of wages paid and income tax with held by employer. This form may also be used, as a simple tax return, by a taxpayer whose income is un- der 5000 and who fills certain other requirements. 100000 900 tax payers availed themselves of the privilege of filing. in this manner in 1914. The revised form will be sim liar to that used in 1914 but has been improved on the basis of ex- perience.
 To prevent the waste of paper and needless expense to employers, MT. Kraemer requests that existing stocks of the old form be used up before the revised W-2 is utilized.

Norwalk, Conn, July M.-(UP)- Michael Paremba, Norwalk natter and father of six children, thinks 12-year old Joseph Paremba, or phaned Polish stowaway brought to America by soldiers of the 38th Field Artillery, is his nephew. And if he is, Paremba wants to adopt the boy.
 Paremba's wife heard on a Po- hsh broadcast Saturday how the orphan was smuggled aboard the transport Marine Panther at Le- Havre, France. She told her hus- band. who read newspaper stories about the boy and said he is sure Joseph is the son of one of his four brothers in Poland.
 Joseph looks just like my broth- CT in his pictures, Paremba said, "and from what the boy told im- migration officials, his father was killed in town a few miles from where I used to live"
 Paremba is native of Wies Ropa in the town of Goilice. Pourot, Po- land. He is hoping the boy will recognize the name of the town. Pa- remba said Joseph told immigration officials he had an uncle in the United States.
 The boy lived with members of Battery c, of the 38th artillery, 2nd Infantry Division, for nearly four months after they rescued him from slave labor on a German farm. When he arrived in Piermont, N. Y, the boy was wearing an army uniform cut down to his size, and several decorations, including a special good humor medal" de- signed for him by his CT buddies.
