Temporary AHn,ony
 Denied Mrs. RindLdi
Assigned Husbands Interest in Their Home and Receives Weekly Unemployment Compensation

Mrs. vittorio Rubbo Rinaldi of Waterbury was denied temporary alimony from Gaetano Rinaldi of Waterbury, whom she is suing for divorce, following 8 hearing before Superior Court Judge Howard AL corn today.
 Testimony disclosed that Mrs. Rinaldi was assigned her husbands interest in their home several years ago upon their separation, and that she has been receiving $l9 weekly as unemployment compensation.
 The court granted a defense mo- tion to expunge certain portions of Mrs. Rinaldi's complaint, which it claimed contained evidential mater ial.
 Because Judge John A. Cornell last week heard partial testimony on the motions of Ada Bartonilli Began in her divorce suit against John Began, Judge Alcorn con- tinued the motions today until next week. He stated he would consult with Judge Cornell before deciding whether the hearing should be started over again or whether Judge Cornell, who is now presiding in New Haven, should complete it. Mrs. Began seeks temporary alimony and an allowance to prosecute the suit.

Request More Exit Doors At. State Armory
 Seating Capacity
 Moy Be EnIcrqed

A recent installation of several exit doors at the Bristol armorys whereby the seating capacity was enlarged has provided an incentive to waterbury's State Guardsmen tu make request for similar changes.
 It was announced last night by Maj. Robert A. McKone, arn1ory inc spector that, The improvements are in the works. But" he added they can not be expected for sew eral months"
 It was revealed that the seatink capacity at the Waterbury Armorf was recently restricted to to e2e persons by order of State Police Commissioner Edward J. Hickey who stated that the small amounF of space in the exits made 1t unsaf4 to accommodate a larger number of persons in the building at one time
 The Bristol project, it was disT closed, was undertaken because 01 the fact that basketball games are played there. thus making the ad- dition of extra exit doors a "neceS- sary safety measure.
 There is an appropriation for re- pairs at the Waterbury Armory which will be allocated for addi- tional doors, although officials ex- plained yesterday "the appropria- tion is for the biennium and it is a little too early to start spending much. However, our policy is that the armories belong to the public and should be made available to the public as much as possible"
 The planned increase in seating capacity at the Field strete building will be available, 1t was made clear only when the exit doors are added
