Three Rooms Provided in Court House Through Efforts of Judge Wheeler-Vets and Legion naires Pleased

The question of whether or not the office of the U- s. Veterans Bureau should remain in Bridgeport was set tied favorajbly today, when Chief Jus tice George w. Wheeler notified the present office in the Professional building that free use of three rooms granted by the County Commission erss. This news will be gladly received by the disabled ex-Service men, about 1,2O0 of whom have been drawing compensatfon, and 500 taking Voca- tional training in the area served by this office.
 Some time ago orders were issued that the Bridgeport office of the Vet activities carried on at Bridgeport should be transferred to New Haven. Resolutions protesting against this action were sent to the proper author ities by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. with the reSult that a representative of the Veterans Bureau from Washington, E. H. Hale, was sent here to hold a conference with the parties interest ed and explain why the proposed re- Inova1 was necessary.
 He stated that the total number of sub-district offices allowed in the United States was 14O. and that Con necticut had it's quota of two. which are at New Haven nd Hartford; that the Bridgeport office was supposed to have been closed last August.
 pr. Everett c Brennand- sub-dis- trict manager of the New Haven of flee, agreed however to allow the present personnel of the Bridgeport office to remain in this city, together with the files tools and equipment necessary to carry on the work of vo- CatiOnaI training provided suitable offices could be found free of rent There is no aDDroDriation from the Government to maintain any offices other than those allotted by Congress.

Mclean. former proprietor of the Seaside House, held yesterday at the county court house Commissioners Joseph Shapiro. David Price and AL derman R. Arthur Brown. appointed by Judge of Probate Paul Miller, disallowed the claim of his son.
 Mclean claim ownership of an automobile which was proved to be the property of the father at the time of his death and therefore be- coming the propertv of the widow, Mrs Charles Mclean. It was brought out in the testimony that the late MT. Mclean had an attorney draw a bill of sale in order to limit his liability in case the son had an accident. It was further shown that the car at all times was registered in the name of the father thus proving the father owner of the car.
 At the first hearing the son testi- fled that the car had been purchased from Harry Ford on Stratfor1 avenue and that his father had given him the car. Later he said inc car had been purchased from Arnold CargilI.
 Attorneys David H. Fitzgerald of Now Haven and Henry c. Burroughs this city. appeared in behalf of the estate and Attorney Samuel C.. Shaw and Frank L. Wilder eppeared for the son.

Both the Veter- ans of Foreign Wars and The Anerl- can Legion offered the use of rooms in their respective club houses, but they were deemed unsuitable No space could be found in any of the city buildings. Finally a delegation con Of Raymond w Harris RoSt, Veter- ans of Foreign Wars and George E. Freeman and Gilbert S. Allen, train ing officers of the Veterans Bureau, called upon Chief Justice Wheeler, who interested himself so far as to secure from the County Commission CTS the use of the three rooms above referred to-
 The lease on the present offices in the Professional building expires June 30, 1922, at which time the equip ment will be removed to the new of fees in the Court House. This will be a very desirable location for the Veterans Bureau, as it is centrally located and has the proper dignity for an office of this kind Further more, it has the advantage of being in the same building as The Ameri- can Red Cross, which has always been a boon to service men,
 The Veterans of Foreign Wars, The American Legion and other service men are most grateful to Chief Jus tce Wheeler and to the County Com nniSsionerTs for making it possible for the work Of the Veterans Bureau to be carried on in this city.
 Rev. Hal T. Kearns, post chaplain of the Harry W. Congdon Post, Amer ican Legion, was instrumental in ob- taining the rooms for the Veterans Bureau in the County Court house. He was head of the committee ap- rointed at a recent meeting of the legion post and was in conference with Chief Justice Wheeler several times in an effort to secure the rooms for the bureau Rev MT. Kearns. former state chaplain of the Legion, Is one of the most energetic workers of the local post. Major Frederick Adams was also instrumental in se- curing the rooms.
