SENATE ASKED TO FAVOR BILL
Egan Wants Trade School Measure Passed Under
 Suspension of Rules
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(Dem0crat LegtSiAttve KepOrtef)
 State Capitol, Hartford, May 20 - Senator Edward P. Egan told The Democrat at noon today that ho proposed to ask the Senate imme. dlately upon converting this after. noon, following e noon recess for caucus, to pass under suspension of rules the bill setting up an appro- priatlon of $250,000 for Q Water bury trade school.
 If the senate follows this pro. cedure the bill could be sent to the House for some action before ad- journment this afternoon. There Representative Daniel J. Mahaney intended to follow teh same tactics. However, the House may refuse to suspend It's rules, so that the bill would have to follow the regular course of action and not be brought up before Friday.
 In the event of both houses sus- pending rules and passing the bill 1t could go immediately to the gov- ernor and be signed this week, thus allowing Waterbury to start active plans for construction of Q trade school.
 In addition to the $25o.o0o state appropriation, to be used in staf1ing and equipping the school, the city has available $i00,000 which the legislature approved in a bond is- sue earlier in the session. The city also expects to utilize, the courts permitting, a $i60,000 trust fund in the David Porter estate, as well as make use of land also included in this bequest.
 The Appropriations Committee voted favorably on the Waterbury bill, as well as one setting up Q similar school in New Haven, last Friday afternoon,

because he had run past her stop.
 T moved again, to 6 basement flat near Palace Gate. About the end of January a bomb fell in tho street and broke q water main. The water poured into my flat through the broken windows. Glass was everywhere. Water was ankle -deep when the hall porter came and got me upstairs"
 She Brings Raids
 Mrs. Connally moved back to Kensington. One time she visited friends in Kent.
 "They had their first raid in q long time while was there" she said. But the bomb hit in c field and only killed COW and some chickens"
 Mrs. Connally says she manages to sleep pretty well during raids but gc.g scared If the bombs crunp too close. On the other hand things seem dull If she doesn't hear one for a long time.
 She has q simple formula for stlfling an air raid complex:
 Have a Scotch whLskey If you feel Shaky. If that isn't enough, have two. If they start falling too close too often. move to 6 new flat, Just for luck.
 Incidentally, on two or three oc- casions, she has found while house hunting the premises she went to view smashed by bombs. That's al- ways a tip to look in another neigh- borhootl.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-05-20

She las had so many bombs fall close to her that her friends say.
 "Where do you live; we want to live somewhere else?"
 Her raid experiences started last September whGa she lived in a Bermondsey flat with her mother and three sisters.
 "Things got bad ono night" she said. We went to trench shell ter There were about l50 persons there. many women and children. About Il o'clock there was a sud- den blast against the shelter door. peop.c shouted and started run- n!ng, Tho door damned. Somebody cried Fire and we were frlght- ened. I"inally the wardens got 0 trap door open and VIC could sec the light from many fire bombs which landed in the square. We cot under q railroad arch and stayed there until the raid was over about { a. m.
 Frightened by Mouse
 "A few weeks later my mother and l were visiting my sister who lives in a basement flat not far away. About Q n, m,, there were several big cxplosionF. We thought the building was going to fall down but 1t didn't, A mouse ran across the floor rnd that really scared us. We stayed there until the raid was over in the morning. When we went out VIC found everything smashed, broken glass and wreck age everywhere. and people look ing for their relatives. A bomb hit one of the railway arches where 200 or more persons were shelter ing and some were killed.
 Another time q bomb hit Just across the road and killed several persons. My aunt was coming to see us and she was blown across the street. Her hair was down and her coat torn off and she was thrown on her face.
 About that time I moved to Kensington. I had had enough. But mother wouldn't move. I was going home one night after a cinema on the underground and felt q terrific jolt as we arrived at a station. The whole train shook. We got out and found glass all over the street and some people badly cut. .."..
 Bomb Crashes Nearby
 Shortly before Christmas I was sitting in my flat when bomb fell nearby. Our lights went out and the roller shades snapped up. The door lock was sprung so we couldn't open it. Some people were killed by direct hit on block of flats.
 Tn January, was near Elephant and Castle when a heavy raid start ed. I finally found Q bus and start cd home. It was pitch black except for the flashes. Finally we heard a bomb falling and we thought 1t would hit the bus. The driver stepped on 1t and the bus was teraing along. The bomb fell be- hind us. After 1t was over an old woman complained to the conductor
