decision soon to be made by the construction board, of the Veterans Administration on extent of enlarge ment at Newingtcn, Connecticut.
 Recent building projects approved by the board, the senator said, have been mostly enlargements to nerv- ous and mental hospitals. Two pro- jects approved last week, however, were general medical hospitals, and since the Newington facility is in that class the senator believes it will soon be reached by the board for consideration.
 Reliable information received by the senator is to the effect that "Newington will receive something more than the original 35 beds recommended by the Veterans Ad- mirlistrator." Senator Lonergan has been urging at least 135 bed en- largement, and was active in in- ereasing by more than one million dollars the amount appropriated by congress for the improvements. It is known, the senator said, that the construction board will rely largely upon recommendation of the Veter- ans Administrator who declines to state at this time exactly what he will recommend.

DOUBLE WIN FOR
 BALDWIN'S TEAM
Traffic Men Flash Into St Margaret's Holy Name
 Card Tournament Lead

Constable Dick Baldwin's traffic men won a double header in the "45" tournament sponsored by the Holy Name society of St. Margaret's parish at the church hall last night. The traffic men who were slightly behind in their schedule took ad- vantage of an opportunity to de- feat the teams explained by Charlie O'Day and Dick Scanlon. The most interesting feature to the Baldwin | ties was that the result placed them in first place with the final games of the first series to be played on next Monday night. Other threat ening teams for the series cham pionship are lead by Jim Morgan and Jim Garfield, both of whom are only trailing by single game. During the match with the ODay team one heckler was heard to re- mark that Charlie ODay's team was going the wrong way, to which supporters of thet railing club hast ened to deny. Charlie it appears is in quest of the consolation prize, his team not having won a game to date. The other contest was nip and tue kaffair which climaxed as these games usually do with the winning captain explaining that 1t is the experience that counts.
 The results of other games played are as follows: Jim Morgan, B; Pat Flaherty, q; Jim Canfleld, B; Michael Whelan, IS; Joe Stevens, 26; Dick Scanlon, 15.
