Wounded Germans Receive All U. s. Aids But No American Blood
By CHARLES G. HULL United Press Staff Correspondent

St. Louis, Mo, April f(UP)-I Wounded Germans captured by the Americans don't get American blood plasma.
 So reports Maj. George w. Gay Army surgeon home on leave after continuous Western Front duty since D-day.
 "If German needs blood, we pull in another German prisoner and draw it from him." Maj. Gay said. American blood we keep for American men,
 German prisoners get all other American medical supplies they need, however, the Missouri war hero said.
 Maj. Gay summed up medical mans view of differences between American and Nazi fighting men.
 'The German wounded howl, whine, complain and won't CO., operate, he reported, "but Amer ican soldiers, no matter how badly hurt they are, never let on how they feel.
 Those American kids have the toughest guts in the world. Men don't come any braver. When they are brought in badly wounded, sometimes with half their insides shot out, do they think about themselves?
 Hell, no. They think about the folks back home, the wife and kids or the best girl But the Germans all they worry about are them selves"
 Maj. Gay, 49-year-old veteran of the last war, re-enlisted in June 1942, because "the smell of gum powder got into my nosrtills again. He formerly operated a hospital, al Ironton, Mo, selling it to the Sis ters of St. Mary for $l when ht enlisted.
