ward, observation ward, laboratory
and morgue.
The construction departments OF the
Veterans Bureau and of the Quarter

it is understood, will work together

completed ground will be broken and
construction started. Some funds will
be available from the Veterans Blu

in December 1t is expected 1t win ap-
propriate the 100000 authorized.
Many patients at Walter Reed are

that the so-called mysterious "shad-

served during the solar spectacle
were caused by horizontal air cur
