S2S PLACEMENTS
 MONTHS RECORD.
State Employment Service Here Finds Positions for
 45S Men, 465 Women

Industrial employment experience ed only a slight decrease over August during the past month, ac- cording to figures released today by Mrs, Mary E. Dewey, manager of the local branch of the Connecti- cut State Employment service.
 Despite much talk of materials shortages in this area, only IS fewer persons were placed in local plants in the last 30 days than in the pre- vious month, 343 as compared to 36l. Placements in all types of enl- ployment advanced somewhat in September. Or the 923 placed, 458 were male and 465, female.
 Claims for unemployment com pensatlon climbed 16 per cent over August, but whether this figure was due to temporary or more or less permanent lay-offs wsa not ascer- tained. This circumstance might be explained by the fact that certain plants, particularly those engaged in ciVilion or llon-defense production, have encountered difficulties in ob- taining materials on the govern ment priorities lists.
 A breakdown of placements for the last month discloses that 164 commercial and professional place. ments were made, compared with 134 in August; 122 persons were placel in construction and alarming labor, to 178 in August; and domes- tic and service placements were 253, 42 more than the amount recorded in the previous month. New registra- tions during September were 465.

RAILROADS ABLE
 TO MEET TAXES

Boston, Oct. 6.-(UP)-The rail- roads, due to their large capital structures, "are far better situated than most companies" in regard to excess profit taxes, United Business Service said today
 The service said few roads would be affected by the per cen. ear..- ings limit recently proposed by Secretary of Treasury Henry Mor- genthau Jr. because the carriers ag- gregate earnings never have been that high even in the best railroad years.
 As an example of the profit mar gin allowable under the 6 per cent limit the service estimated that New York Central. no earning about 5 a share, could earn up to S8.S0 a share and Pennsylvania, now at about S5, could realize $568 a share without being affected.

LOMBARDI GIVEN
 DISCHARGE TODAY
Accused Charged With Hitting States Chief
 Witness

Patsy Lombardi, 23, of 254 Wood tick road, was granted Q discharge on a breach of the peace charge when he was arraigned in municipal court today before Judge T. F. Con- way.
 The complaining witness, Louis Mastroianni, of 10 Bronson street, said the accused cut out in front of him on East Main street near the Hendricken school and that an ar- gument ensued. He then said that Lornbardi asked him If he wanted Ito make anything of it", and told him to follow him.
 Mastroianni said he had no choice as the car in the rear which he as- sumed was o friend of the accused was following him and he was afraid he would ram his car if he did not obey Lombardi. Mastroianni said he followed the accused to the Pines" where Lombardi then got out of the car and grabbed him by his shirt and struck him in the eye. The complaining witness had his left eye partly covered with bandage.
 Lombardi said that when he ar- gued with Mastroianni, the latter then continued to follow him and when he arrived at the grove on his way home, MastroIanni got out of his car. The accused said he did likewise but before Mastroianni had on opportunity to strike him, the ac- cused let him have 1t.
 The two versions did not jlbe and Judge Conway asked why the conl- plainlng witness went out of his way to the "Pines", since his home was on Bronson street, and entered Q discharge.
 Lombardi also denied that when they got out at the "Pines" he had no one there and that he had no knowledge of anyone following him. He told the court that If there was e third party at the pine grove he was not aware of 1t. Mastroianni insisted that c friend of the az. cused was there when he stopped his car and was struck by Loir- bardi.

MONTANA YOUTH TO GET MEDAL

Boston, Oct. 6 - (U.P.) - A IT, year-old Montana farm boy with a crippled right arm, who rescued two youths from drowning in a raging river, was named today as the 194l winner of the gold medal awarded annually by the Legion of Valor to the lad who performs the most heroic act of the year.
 Major Ralph w. Robart, chairman of the board of medal awards, said that the winner, Dean Logan of Salispell, Mont, probably would be taken to the White House at Wash lngton to receive the medal from President Roosevelt.
 Last May 25, Logan heard cries coming from swollen river near his home and raced to the bank, Two boys on a drifting raft were being swept toward perilous log jam and rapids below.
 Logan raced along the bank for a three-quarters of mile to a gravel bar, removed his heavy boots, and plunged into the swift current. with his one good arm he battled his way to midstream, but the raft eluded him and he turned back.
 Barefooted, he ran along the bank to another gravel bar 300 yards be- low, again dived in, swam across an S0-foot channel and intercepted the raft. One boy jumped in and clung to Logan. The other leaped and sank but Logan reached him and managed to get to shore with the two boys clinging to him.

JULY WEATHER
 PREVAILS HERE
Summer Apparel in Evi- dence Today With Ther-
 mOmeter Registering S2

An unrelenting sun continued its record -shattering fall frolic today, with the mercury perching at an unreasonable 82, shortly after noon today. Reminiscent of mid-July, lo- cal citizenry doffed autumn attire, and walked the streets clad in polo shirts, silks dresses and garments customarily seen only Ill the tropics at this time of year.
 The mercury bid fair today to eclipse yesterdays high of 84, the hottest October 5th reported since 1886. Sundays reading was 5l de- grees warmer than the 8 recorded on october s, 1940. During the course of the night the thermometer cooled of to 72, but IT the morning once more resumed its astonishing upward course.
 Traffic in this ctiy was the heav- lest noted here in some time in spite of the gasoline curfew Cooling drinks and ice cream purveyors did a brisk business Many expressed re- gret that similar weather had not been experienced in August, al- though q hardy few availed them selves of the brief reprieve from the impending winter to go swimming in nearby lakes.
 The pleasure felt by the city's population was not reflected in other quarters, however. The prolonged dry spell continues to endanRer crops, and the peril of drought re- mains unmitigated. Forest fires still blazed in the northern regions of New England, with little relief ex- pected until heavy rainfalls develop.
 The weather today, perched pre- cariously on a limb, promised cooler weather and rain tomorrow.
