Tobin, counsel for the brothers, said the ball would be furnished. They have been in jail since May.

 WITH BIG STORM
Dug Itself Out Very Quickly-Many
 Minor Crashes

With warm sun lending It's aid, after the night had brought the coldest temperature of the year, Waterbury today continued to dig its way out of the snowstorm which swept the city Saturday, virtually paralyzing weekend trafflc. It was the first time in years that Water bury has had @ severe storm before Thanksgiving, and the snow formed a hard, slippery surface that made many of the city's hills virtually impossible of ascent and made chains almost 8 necessity on most streets.
 The temperature early this morn- ing dropped to i6 above, the coldest mark of the present season. The mercury began climbing slowly at [ o'clock, and the temperature rose steadily to the middle of the day. The weatherman's prediction of fair and warmer weather brighten ed the prospect somewhat for shiv- ering Waterburians.
 Accidents Were Few
 Tn view of the severity of the storm, and the poor driving condi- tions which followed fin It's wake, accidents were comparatively few in number. Skidding caused several mishaps, but no one was seriously injured. Falls injured several more, and police began their annual cam- paign of warning householders to keep their sidewalks clear of snow and ice.
 The street department was busy all weekend sanding slippery roads and streets. The work of removing snow from the downtown area was begun yesterday and continued to- day. The storm did not interfere with electric or phone service here,

MOUNTAINEERS
 LOST THEIR CASE

Washington, Nov. 25.-(UP)- Nine supreme court justices whose word Is the high law of the nation, to-day made final a verdict which will drive 20 Virginia mountaineer families from their hillside homes as winter snow blanketed the Blue Ridge mountains.
 Within the warm elegance of their new $ll,600,000 quarters, the supreme court announced that 1t could see no reason to interfere in the proceedings by which Virginia seeks to oust the Blue Ridge folk to make 1t 6 city dwellers' summer playground.
 The state wants to give the land to the federal government so that concrete roads will coax tourists into the Shenandoah National park.
 But the mountaineers, fearful of change, have refused to budge. In the words of officials they have lived on the land so long that they believe 1t belongs to them-and that . mans home is his castle.
 Pleading and threats have only caused the men to stand their ground more firmly. One family, moving out with all It's belongings, sneaked back home when custer officials turned their backs. An other, Q storekeeper. left only when he was handcuffed and led away,

TWO YOUNGSTERS
 HAD CLOSE CALL

Danbury, Conn, Nov. 25.--(UP)- Two young brothers who daringly crawled through @ hot air register on the second floor of their home narrowly escaped being roasted alive over the hot fire box, 1t was revealed here to-day. John Eni- cewicz, 6, and his brother, Walter, two and one-half, were playing alone in the room last night. They lifted the floor screen and John fell through the hole. He managed to grab part of the broken regis- ter on the first floor and hauled himself out.
 A few seconds later Walter tum- bled through the hole and landed on the dome of the pipeless fur- mace. Walter. hanging over the edge of the screen on the first floor, extended his hands to his trapped brother and pulled him to safety.
 John was unhurt. Walter suffered a cut on his cheek which required five stitches to close.
