Dr Henry Lingham collector of internal revenue says refund checks are mailed to taxpayers at about 10 000 per week to those entitled. Willingham notes refunds are processed as quickly as possible and delays may occur due to wartime staffing and return errors. About 18 million refunds nationwide are expected, with checks issued every three weeks. taxpayers should not inquire about status to avoid slowing the process. If addresses changed, taxpayers should notify the collector with old and new addresses.

Transfusions Great Help In Operations
Blood transfusions during surgery extend operations to four to six hours with patients leaving in good condition. Dr. Warren H. Cole notes losses during operations can be high, with breast cancer removals averaging over 700 cubic centimeters and brain operations higher. Multiple transfusions during a procedure can total two and a half to three quarts, reducing shock risk. Surgery has progressed from techniques to physiology and may enter a chemical stage using drugs for added safeguards.
