AS Senators Face Yankees
Nixon Regoins
His Old Mastery
Over Bombers
BY the Associated Press

Last season, when Willard
Nixon was the only pitcher to
beat his Yankees four times,
Manager Casey Stengel observed.
I'VE gotta find out somethin'
about that fella." Yesterday the
Yankees found out they gotta
find out somethin'" more about
the Boston righthander.
Stengel's champions finally
got to Nixon late last season,
beating him the last two times
they met. And right off the
bat this spring. they put him
under the showers after five
innings the first time they faced
him.
Nixon got the Yankees squared
away again yesterday. He al
most had 'em wrapped up in
the first perfect game since 1922,
retiring the first 20 men he faced.
Then all sorts of things hap
pened and he had to settle for
a 7-3 decision and a three-hit-
ter.
The defeat sent New York into
today'S Memorial Day double
header with Washington four
games ahead of second place
Cleveland. which was idle yes
terday. The White Sox, in
fourth, picked up a game by
banging Kansas City, IA, in IL
innings and Washington beat
Baltimore. 6-5.

Simple Theory
The next step was tow. For, much as
skierS love to careen down steep slopes
both on and of their skis, they hate the
job of climbing up again. Their theory
is simple. With a tow, they can accumu-

Several hundred hours of callouseS and
overworked muscles later the tow was
finished and they waited anxiously for the
first snow to transform the COW pasture

VA LOOKS FOR HIGH LEVEL IN CT LOANS FOR THIS YEAR

Despite a tightening of GI nor tgage money during the latter part of 1855, Veterans Admins tration's analysis of savings and mortgage repayment trends in- dicate that sufficient funds pro- bably will be available during 1856 to finance high level of residential construction, includ- ing homes financed with CT loans.
 VA estimates that about 650,000 veterans will get CT home loans during 1856. This is approximate ly the same number as the rec ord-breaking year of 1855.
 In a year-end review of it's loan guaranty operations for 1855 VA reported that approximately $50, 900 World War II and Kor- can Conflict period veterans re ceived CT home loans totalling over $7 billion.
 This, VA said, was 58 percent
