 JAM POST OFFICE
Double Line of Applicants on Hand Today Long Be-
 fore Work Begins

Today looked more like a holiday than the first working day after 8 holiday weekend, at least at the civil service rooms in the post office, where the aliens of Waterbury are being registered. A near-capacity crowd of aliens was on hand all the morning, keeping the staff from cn- toying too many idle moments.
 A double line of applicants had formed outside the doors when they were opened at nine o'clock this morning, and by twelve o'clock there had been no let-up in the pressure. However. a slackening of the pact during tke afternoon was predicted by William J. Phelan, in charge of the project, on the basis of last weeks experience.
 Three fingerprinters and four ty- pists were keeping busy this morn ing. as was MT. Phelan, who had more than the usual proportion of persons who could not write, to take care Of.
 The aliens who appeared for reg istration this morning were of all nationalities, most of them middle aged or elderly people. The only children or young people who ap- peared were along to act more or less as interpreters, or to explain things to their parents.
 MT. Phelan reported that the of flee remained open Saturday as long as any applicants for registration appeared, and then closed its doors for the weekend at two o'clock. A total of 86 aliens were registered.

BROOKLYN HOMES
 FLOODED SUNDAY
Fire Department Has to Rescue Man From Roof
 of Stalled Car

Generally fair weather was ex- pected to continue today and tomor- row after the downpour which yes- terday flooded streets, basements and damaged many lawns. The storm was believed to be Water bury's share of the tropical hurri- cane which turned seaward yester- day after bringing havoc to New Jersey and other states Saturday.
 The highlight of the storm here occurred when the fire departmnt was summoned to rescue a motorist from the roof of his car which stalled at Bank and Riverside streets where the water rushed along at a point above automobile running boards. The motorists name was given as John Dale.
 The cloudburst lasted about 45 minutes during which intersections were flooded, drinking fountains backed up" and a retaining wall and boys hutS were reported to have toppled. Easements in the Brooklyn section were flooded and small damage was reported in other sections.
 Sunday night, when reports were current that the hurricane would hit New England, Supt. of Police William J. Roach and other officials prepared for any emergency. Mayor Vincent A. Scully frequently sought reports on the storm and was in touch with Chief Roach.
 The highest temperature yester- day was recorded at 30 degrees and the low during the night was 60. At noon today the mercury was at 75 degrees and the forecast was for little change in temperature.
 Although August was believed to have been the coldest August in years, the U. s. Weather Bureau at New Haven reportd that actually the mean temperature for the month was only little more than one de- gree below normal.

TRAGIC CRASH IS
 INVESTIGATED

Washington, Sept. 3-(UP)-Gov- ernment investigators today sought new clues to the cause of the tragic crash of giant Pennsylvania Central airliner last Saturday in which 25 persons, including Sen. Ernest Lundeen, F.-L., Minn., died. Sen. Pat McCarran, D., New, pre- pared to demand senate inquiry into the accident.
 McCarran, author of the original Civil Aeronautis Authority Act, said that at the earliest possible mo- ment after the senate meets today he would offer a resolution asking for appointment of a special senate investigating committee.
 McCarran was a leader in the un- successful congressional fight early this year to override President Roosevelt's executive order putting the CAA under the commerce de- pertinent and abolishing the air safety board. He indicated he would seek enactment of legislation to re-establish the air safety board and make the CAA an independent agency again, as result of the most recent air tragedy.

CONNECTS BREAK
 OUT OF PRISON
Six of 5 or More Are Holding Two Girls and
 Youth as Hostages

Columbia, La, Sept. 3-(UP)-Six escaped Arkansas convicts killed a deputy sheriff and threatened to kill their two girl hostages in shoot ing their way out of an ambush cary today.
 The convicts, with two 16-year- old girls and a. 17-year-old boy as cap- tives, were believed hiding in the woods near the ambush scene and bloodhounds accompanied a posse into the woods at dawn. An air. plane circled overhead, trying to locate them.
 The convicts were ambushed about two miles south of here by five of ficers when they stopped to fix a flat tire on their stolen automobile.
 Special Deputy Sheriff F. c. Cart; man, 45, was killed in the exchange of shots and the convicts, with their hostages escaped into the thick un- derbruSh, abandoning their car.
 Deputy Sheriff A. A. Coates said the officers held their fire when they first saw the men, because of the danger of hitting the hostages.
 '"They turned their guns loose on us," he said, hitting Gartman. Four or five bullets whined over my head"
 35 More Escape
 The convictS were part of the 35 or more who escaped from State Prison farm at Gould yesterday. The hostages were Vonville Williams 16, Gladys Diamond, 16, and Jerry Harrigal, IT, of Rayville, La., who had been Kidnapped north of Ray vile last night for their automo- bile.
 Previously, the convicts had taken the automobile of MT. and Mrs. Frank Horsfall of Little Rock, Ark. The Horsfalls were Kidnapped when the fugitives took their car near Gould. They wrecked it near Rays vile, freed the Horsfalls and took new hostages and new car.
 We think we have them Sur- rounded" Coates said. T don't see how they can get away. The one drawback, of course, is that they might harm the girls.
 ''They threatened to shoot the girls when we came up on them last night" he continued. They started crying for us not to shoot"
 Throughout the night, police in Louisiana and Mississippi had stood watch behind barriers at bridges over numerous streams in the area.
 The group which fought near here this morning, escaped with others in a mass break from the farm at Gould yesterday.
 Two of another party of five fought a battle with police officers at Garland City, in Western Arkan- sas, late last night, were recaptured. More than 100 shots were fired, but no one was hurt. They also had two hostages.
 At least 35 convicts, most of them serving long terms for crimes of violence, escaped from the prison farm mead Gould yesterday after a gun fight in which "trusty- guard" was killed and several convictS were wounded. Many of them were heav- fly armed. Prison authorities could not be sure of the exact number that got away.
 Near Gould, six convicts kid- naped Frank Horsfall, of Little Rock, and his wife. and raced south into louisiana in the Horsfall au- tomobile north of Rayville, they pil- ed the machine into a ditch. A passing car stopped and its occu- pants-Voncille williams, 16, Gladys Diamond, IS. and Jerry Harrigal. 1T, were immediately looking into sawed-off skotguns and rifles held by the convicts.
