 In the Johnson case 1t was al- legged that the worker while using 8 town truck in Washington, Jam uary 31, to sand icy pavement was caught between the truck and a railing when the vehicle slid. In- juries to the back, hips, stomach and kidneys were listed. It was fur ther claimed that a mental depres- sion which on September necessi- tated confinement to an institution resulted from the accident.

The car seemed to run all right, 50 they stopped at an East Main street restaurant (with liquor license).
 The hour grew a bit late and they hopped into the car to head homeward. They heard changing noise as they went along, and Tom said, That mechanic didn't do such good job on my car, after all. ?
 The noise continued as they pro- ceeded down East Main street and into 8 side street, where they de- cided to stop in another restaurant.
 Mike got out first, and came back in a minute startled.

In emptying the store cellars of this city, the merchants helped fill the scrap piles of indus try. With the coming of winter many of the reserve supplies of the smelters have been getting danger ously low. It is only through such piles of scrap as the waterbury Mer- chants have turned in that the war production of this country can be kept from falling.
 All the scrap turned in is ear- marked for the Ax:s in the form of guns and bombs, but many of the stores in town took particular pains to see that the Axis knew about it, Painted on an ola rel .Serator which they turned in was the sign, ITO Adolph from McCoy's."

At Garston's the employees wished to impress the Land of the Rising Sun, which, incidentally, is starting to set so they placed the following sign on their scrap pile, Come on Tojo Swallow That. May your sun ever be like tlis.'
 Hadley's figured it was about time the Axis became well baked To aid in doing the job, they piled II stoves on the sidewalk in front of the store, and to make sure that the job is done well, they added a load of new aluminium pots and pans. An old cable and other as- sorted scrap also helped to make their scrap donation one of the largest in the city.
 At Everybody's Market. they fig ured that the food situation in the Axis lands was pretty bad. So tc make it worse, they turned in about 30 old wire shopping baskets or their junk pile.
 All of the city's trucks togethel with many privately owned vehi cles donated for the drive collected the metal with the workers goinl at op speed to clean the streets be. fore shoppers began coming dowr l town.

 Mayor Vincent A. Scully and Ray mond J. Planning, director of the scrap metal drive were well pleased with the results of the Merchants Victory Scrap Drive.

Judge John Rufus Booth when MT. Mascolo stated the city could not produce financial records pertinent to the case because They're still in MT. Alcorn's office"
 "It's cheap trick" the corpora tion counsel slashed at the attorney for the plaintiffs.
 Still A Mystery!
 "So you called it a cheap trick" :" MT. Mascolo triumphantly stated later after he called Assistant City Clerk John DiCorpo to the stand and the city employe testified that the financial records in question were not in his office where they are usually kept and either the corpora ton counsel had them or they were in the possession of the states att torney in Hartford. "They're not in my office," MT. Healey retorted, and the question of their whereabouts was dropped by the smiling MT. Masco1o.
 The case was an ordinary damage suit, in which there was no factual dispute, involving claims of John Frederick and the late John Me- Keeman, who were allegedly in- jured Nov. 27, 1895, when a scaffold collapsed while they were painting and repairing the Leavenworth high school building.
 The department of finance records referred to by MT. Mascolo were said to contain the amount of city expenditures involved in the work and appropriated for it. The plain- tiffs, who were employed by the w. P. A., claim the city saved a large amount of money when it made the agreement with the federal agency for the project.
 More Protests A letter from the fugitive ex-con- troller Daniel J. Leary was intro- duced as evidence by the plaintiffs counsel soon after the conspiracy case issue was raised. It applied to the city's contract for the w. P. A. work. An explanation of the mean ing of the letter given by MT. Mas colo was ruled from the courts rec ords following a forceful objection from the corporation counsel and an extensive argument of MT. Mas colo to include it.
 MT. Broderick seeks $15,000 dam ages while James Leary as adminis- trator of the estate of MT. Keenan seeks $25, ,000. Decision was reserved today and the counsel were ordered to file briefs or claims of law. MT. Mascolo was given until Friday to file his papers and MT. Healey will have until Oct. g, to file an answer. Atty. Edward Mcdonald is assisting MT. Healey on the case while Atty. Joseph Navin is the other plaintiffs counsel.
 Agreement
 The city claims it is not respon- sible for the accident because it was performing a governmental duty when it occurred and under law can not be held negligent under those circumstances. Under the contract with the federal agency it furnished supplies for the work while the labor was provided by the w. P. A.

 Then Tom, deciding that the own. CT must be getting anxious, and see ing that Make had everything un- der control, started back to the res- taurant to announce that all was well.
