RAILROAD AID
 BILL INCLUDED
Measure May Be Pushed Through in Closing
 Hours of Congress

Washington, June IA - (UP) - Congressional leaders, driving to- ward final adjournment Wednesday night, today reinstated on the clos ing Agenda bill to liberalize REC loans to railroads.
 Senate Majority Leader Alben w. Barkley, D., Ky, said an attempt would be made to pass the bill be- fore Congress adjourns. After conferring with President Roosevelt by telephone from the Senate banking and currency com- mittee room, Barkley said that the chief executive did not object to the bill. Barkley predicted its pas sage. .t.
 The announcement complicated the adjournment drive since short ly after Barkley conferred with the President. the Railway Labor Execu- tives Association failed to retreat from 8 position strongly opposing enactment of the bill.
 The labor executives, who forced recommitment of the bill after the carriers announced intention to cut wages IS per cent, met for two hours to consider withdrawing their opposition.
 We have not withdrawn our op- position to the bill" George M. Harrison. president of the board, said. ..
 The labor executives then ad- journed their meeting to discuss the bill with Congressmen this afternoon.
 Harrison said they probably would reconvene late today to continue the discussion. He indicated, however, that it was doubtful if their oppo- sition would be withdrawn.

$3,OOO-a-Month Check or City Depts. Urged
Aldermanic Subcommittee Recommends Griffen= hagen for Audit; Further Surveys By Mayor Board
 of Finance Also Voted at Board Meeting

Further survey of city affairs, in cooperation with Mayor Frank Hayes and the board of finance, was sought in the report of the sub committee of the board of aldermen last night, adopted by the board as 8 whole by unanimous vote. While concurring to large extent with the finance board committees recom- mendations, the aldetnanic epralnit- tee Suggested anlnv,ilnr Y an. l {. alidit firm. probably Gtil1 er1iaeen N As- sociates, at cost not to exceed 5000 a month, to effect economies in a reconstruction of city affairs designed to eliminate what the com- mittee foreseeS as a deficit at the end of the year.
 Fail to Agree
 Although the aldermanic commit tee failed to concur with the finance boards estimate that the surplus resource sinking fund will aggregate in excess of $60O,000. as indicated by first months of the years re- ceipts, it agreed that the potential welfare department deficit cannot now be predicted, due to economic conditions. In spite of the $200,000 saving provided by the 10 per cent salary cut of city employees for well fare department use, the deficit of that department was estimated at from $235, ,000 upwards.
 Nor did the committee report con- sider the finance board committees prospective shaving of an initial $126,000 from budget estimates, as a start toward general program of economy which may include incor- poration of a "stagger system" of work hours for city employees. But the latter consideration was in cluded in the plan as outlined by the report.
 The report indicated deficit of about $40O,000 would result at the years end on the present basis of expenditures from the budget, most ly the increased outlay of the well fare department which presently is carrying 8 peak relief load. It recommended the employment of "a properly qualified agency to con- duct survey of city activities and departments and devise a method of effecting economies which will bring the years budget into bal ance.

Bootleg' Coal Miners
 Await Rescue To-day
Buried 300 Feet Underground They Were Given Up as Lost at First-Father, Son Finally Get Word to
 Surface They Are Unhurt; Work Rushed

Ashland, Pa, June 14-UP)- Three hundred feet underground ir a makeshift mine, a bootleg" an- thracite miner and his 17-year-old son awaited rescue today after be- ing entombed for more than "A hours and given up as dead.
 The miner, Peter Shinkowsky, 48, and his son, Peter, Jr., were trap ped when some timbering was knocked down yesterday in the crude mine-one of the bootleg holes which unemployed miners have dug on the property of com- panies in the anthracite district.
 Tons of earth and rock crashed into the diggings. It was thought that the man and boy must have been killed. Hours later, Shin kowsky shouted through the bar rier that they were alive and un- hurt. Rescuers said that the youths voice sounded hysterical, however.
 Because of the narrowness of the bootleg slope. rescuers had to re- move the debris one bucket at a time. Some hoped new slope might be opened by nightfall, but others were not so optimistic.
 Mrs. Katherine Shinkowsky, wife and mother of the trapped men, came here from Shenandoah. She stayed at the mouth of the slope all night and refused to leave to- day. Her daughter, Mary, tainted when she arrived.
 Miners said there was plenty of air in the closed slope because it is above an old centralia collieries working. They said sufficient air would seep upward into the closed slope.
 Leaders of the Independent Min CTS Union took over supervision of the rescue work from officials of the Centralia Galleries company, on whose property the Shinkowsky bootleg coal hole is located.
 Shall we start removing the rock here?" were Shinkowsky's first words to reach rescuers, the first indication that rescue attempts would not be fruitless. The men, working in relays to clear away the barrier, l35 feet from the surface instructed the pair to return to the bottom of the hole and remain there until rescued. They feared that efforts of the trapped men might cause another fall.

 Hendaye, French-Spanish From tier. June 14.-UP)-The red and gold flag of the monarchy flew over the captured city of Castellon De La Plana today while Nationalist air. planes bombed every city and town as far south as Alicante.
 AS the main body of Nationalist troops put down the last veStige of Loyalist resistance in and around Castellon. advance guards pressed on southward and reached the neighborhood of Almazora, four miles away and only 37 miles from Generalissimo Francisco Franco's objective, the former provisional capital of Valencia.
 The Nationalists' account of the victory after they had planted their flags at Castellon, revealed that troops under Gen. Martin Alonso entered the city from the port of Fl Grao to which they had maneuver- ed rapidly while the Loyalists had expected an attack from the south. The southern portions of the city had been heavily defended by tanks and an armored train.
 Finally realizing the hopelessness of their position" an insurgent communique said, "the Loyalists fired and destroyed their gasoline and ammunition dumps, resulting in heavy explosions and dense pals of smoke"
 The Loyalists fought desperately in the Maijares river valley outside Castellon to prevent the Nationalist knot from tightening around the provincial capital until struggling government troops had poured through a bottleneck opening to safety south of the river.
 Every available Loyalist cannon was lined up between Castellon and Borriol, and south of the Mia jares river, to batter Franco's wedge. But despite a deluge of rain, the Ma tionalist push continued through muddy fields toward the sea south of the city.
 Independent. reports indicated that Gen. Jose Miaja succeeded in pulling more than 10000 troops out of the Nationalist pocket north of Castellon. According to Nationalist Franco had trapped or taken prisoner 10000 Loyalists and had captured huge quantities Of Loyalist equipment.
 After the Nationalists had sur rounded Castellon, 40 insurgent planes bombed Port Fl Grao to pre-

KEMP WILL BE ALLOWEDTOSEE JURY MINUTES Judge Baldwin Makes Im= pOrtant Decision in
 Bridgeport Today WATERBURY JURY
 MAY BE AFFECTED Accused Realt0r COntend= ed His Constitutional
 Right Are Violated

Bridgeport, Conn, June IA - (UP) = Former Highway Department appraiser, G. Leroy Kemp was permitted by Superior Court Judge AL fred c. Baldwin today to ex- anime the minutes of the Ex- traordinary Grand Jury which indicted him in the Merritt Parkway conspiracy investigation. Kemp was one Of nine persons indicted in connection with the $6,1OO,O00 land sales to the state and wa saccused of splitting $86,00O commissions with the others involved.
 He contended his constitutional rights had been violated in that he had been placed at a disadvantage in not being allowed to peruse the testimony before the grand jury, whereas the states attorney, his as- sistant and stenogfirapher were allowed in the jury room during deliberations.
 The decision of Judge Baldwin, restricting Kemp's inspection to the minutes as they concerned himself, was unprecedented and was believed to have an important bearing on the Waterbury Grand jury investi- gation which proceeded along the same lines.
 The court, however, discussed Kenp's motion for a change of venue, based on assertions it would be impossible for him to obtain a fair and impartial trial in Fairfield County where all of the 432 individ- ual land transactions were consum- mated.
 Judge John Keogh, Norwalk, counsel for the real estate broker and former Republican legislator, argued that the jury had not ob- served all legal proprieties in con-

 Witness Today SHERIFF SHAWN HAS
 DENIED RELEASE HINT State Senator Hagearty of New Britain Was First
 of Days Witnesses

Investigation of possibili- ties that at least seven men were ordered released from the New Haven County Jail just before the last municipal election in October, was un- derway by Waterbury's Ex- traordinary Grand Jury.

 Senator William E. Hagearty, of New Britain, who introduced the Electric Steam Sterilizing bill into the 1895 session of the General As- sembly was also a witness today. One other man, who has not been identified, was also called.
 Released to Vote
 During the 1887 municipal election there were numerous unconfirmed stories to the effect that men sem fenced to New Haven county jail from the Waterbury city court for variety of charges;~fad been re- leased for the purpose of voting. These stories were denied by High Sheriff J. Edward Slavin.
 Any prisoner released from my jail was released only on an order from the city court" said Jailer Mona today. Until a late hour he had not been called into the jury room, but was waiting in the cor ridor for the jury's pleasure.
 Appears At 2:30
 Attorney Pasternak, clerk of the city court, will not appear at the jury room until 2:30 o'clock. He has been ordered to bring all records pertaining to the incarceration and release of prisoners by order of city court during the period of October 5, which was election day.
 Clerk Pasternak said today that the procedure for ordering the re- lease from the county jail is for him to prepare the order and submit it to the presiding judge for approval.
