CAPTAIN, PRIVATE
 INJURED IN FIRE
TOrringtOn Men Necessi=
 tate Hospital Treatment \ After Battling Blaze

Torrington, Oct. 11-Fire Captain Walker Nmke was taken to Char l0tte Hungerford Hospital for treat ment of fractured leg and Fireman Frank Pace was treated for burns on the head and face as a result of a fire last night in a storehouse on Margerie Street.
 Hundreds of bales of cork con- signed to the Fitzgerald Manufac- turing Company and stored in the building, owned by Stephen Rossi, were jamage<I in the fire.
 The fire was the most spectacular seen here in many months and fire men fought the flames for more than three hours. The cork filled the storehouse to capacity and the fire gained considerable headway before arrival of firemen.
 Their first difficulty was to get at the fire which was confined to the inside and top of the building. More than a score of firemen, as- sisted by workmen from the Fitz- gerald plant, succeeded in partly empting the storehouse to enable firemen with three lines of hose to pour water into the flaming build ing.
 More difficulty confronted fire men when the bales of cork, used al the plant to fit gaskets, became water soaked and were manageable only with the aid of large hooks.

 "Over 6O,OOO of Connecticut's sons answered the call to arms in the World War; almost 2,0OO of them made the supreme sacrifice and 4,OO0 were wounded in action. At the veterans administration in Newington, we handle the cases of Connecticut veterans who saw service in the World War and were wounded, or incurred disabilities during such service. We also ham, de claims of dependents of Con- necticut World War veterans who have died.
 "The veterans administration had charge of the greatest chain of hospitals and domiciliary in- stitutionS in the worlds history during the month of August, 1940. There were 86 of these with 18,497 domiciliary beds and 59,606 hospital beds. In the same month there were 69,250 World War veterans oc- cypying these beds. Of these 69,250, 4,466 were tubercularS, 32,386 were mental cases, 15,561 were general medical and surgical, 16,238 were in domiciliary beds, and the. others were scattered cases of non-vet- eranS and those in for observation.

Mai. Thomas ]. Bannigan, man. ager of the U. s. Veterans hospital at Newington, said here yesterday that the terrific experiences many of our veterans have gone through has undermined the resistance of most of those who served. They are still breaking down and the peak of our mental cases will not be reached until 1945," according to medical authorities.
 Speaking at 8 meeting of the Lions club at the Hotel Elton, Maj Bannigan declared that T figured we were through with any future wars," but the world situation Heads me to believe that some of our experiences in the great war may be repeated in the not too dis tant future"
 Quoting statistics regarding the hospital at Newingtsn, Maj. Banni- gan also devoted a part of his speech to thanking local agencies for the cooperation in the work of the hospital He paid a personal tribute to Mrs. Edith Ladd, local Red Cross executive secretary, say ing that T would be remiss if l did not mention" her never fail- ing assistance"
 Maj. Bannigan was introduced by William Slator, program chairman. Charles Greenblatt presided in the absence of President James A. Mil- mar.
 Maj. Bannigan spoke as follows regarding the Newington hospital and the work of the veterans ad- ministration in the nation:
 "As of today, PAT patients are in the hospital; number of patients admitted since the opening, 17,605; total number out-patient examina- tions given, 82,891; total number out-patient treatments received, 04,449; number major operations, 3,562.
