Every Soldier-
His Own Blood
Idea Of Self-Transfusion1
Developed By Army
BATON ROUGE, La., Aug. 15.-(P)
-Every United States soldier even-
tually may carry a vial of his ownt
blood serum tucked away in his
knapsack for immediate transfusion
in case he's wounded on the battle-
field.
It would be bled from his veins
beforehand, turned into a light brown
powder at Louisiana State Univer-
sity's proposed drying plant, and giv-
en back to him in a form weighing
only a few ounces.
"Every soldier might be his own
doctor, inasmuch as his blood, after
drying, could be given him to carry,
in a small container," commented Dr.
Urban Maes, director of the L.S.U.
medical school's surgery department.
"In this way," he added, "the
wounded man could be given not
only his own blood serum, but also
that of his unwounded comrades."
The dried product, reported by Dr.
Maes as equally effective as natural
blood, is obtained by drying serum
separated from blood cells.

WITH THE ARMY IN SOUTH-+
WEST ARKANSAS. -(AP)- Second
army headquarters said "several in-
cidents" between civilians and Negro
troops of the 94th engineer battalion
from Fort Custer, Mich., climaxed in
a "dispute" on the'Prescott-Gurdon
highway yesterday.
"The altercation was caused by a
misunderstanding of authority be-
tween local state police and officers
in control of the troops," the second
army said in a prepared statement.
"In order to clarify this situation
and obviate'the possibility of further
incidents," Maj-Gen. Robert C.
Richardson, Jr., in command of the
seventh army'corps, called a confer-
ence at army headquarters in Pres-
cott with A. G. Albright, superinten-
dent of Arkansas state police, who
came from Little Rock.
