 Waterbury's trade school plans have not been halted by the su- perior court decision which denies use of the David G. Porter estate funds, and the project is expected to be in operation shortly after the war ends city officials stated several weeks ago. Although the ruling of Judge Frank P.

 Judge Warmers action came after he had heard statements of agree ment of fact brought by counsel for the women and for the Nashawena Mills, Inc, and also by a repre- sentative of the Textile Workers Union of America (CIO).
 Attorney George s. Young, coun- sel for the petitioners, said his clients were 'intimidated" by threats of dismissal unless they joined the C1O union and said if they did join what would prevent the union from increasing dues or imposing special levies." He said they had exhausted all efforts at mediation. ....
 Attorney Charles Rugg, defending the mill officials, contended no ef- fort had been made by the women to settle the dispute through gov ernment mediation or arbitration machinery. He said that the case should not have been brought be- fore law court and that the Wo- men had staged a sitdown strike in June when they were unable to be | L. i L. 4 THY YY7t- former AFL plant voted to have the CIO represent them in a bar gaining election in which 1l,OOO workers participated.

Six Men Are Rescued In Flooded Pit

Pittsburgh, July 29-(UP)-Rescue workers, wading through muddy water in the dark recesses of the flooded Ollett mine, brought six trapped miners to safety today after they had been entombed for 38 hours.
 A. E. Quenon, of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, who waded 500 yards through water sometimes up to his neck, was the first to reach the stranded men.
 Where have you fellows been?" was the first question asked by the miners as they were brought to the surface and taken to Red Cross headquarters fro first aid.
 The men said they had heard the feverish attempts to save them and knew if they "hung on" they would be rescued.
 First word that the trapped men were alive came shortly after noon when a trembling we're all right doated back over the water in the mine tunnel to shouted inquiries from rescue workers.

 Flood waters poured into the tip ole yesterday and filled the mine tunnel to a delpth of nine feet. Only one foot of the l0-foot tunnel was free of water. permitting the trapped men to receive the life-saving air that has been forced into the pit oy huge fans.
 But 12 to 18 inches more of water must be drained out of the shaft before it is possible to lower canoe and paddle back to the rear of the tunnel where the men are waiting Tor rescue.
 The Red Cross has set up a first aid station in a nearby garage and two ambulances were waiting at the scene. State and county police main tained constant vigil to keep the crowd of miners. their wives and children from impeding rescue ef- forts.

Leaf Crops Thrive In Autumn AUGUST PAINTINGS IN VICTORY GARDEN CAN INCLUDE
 VITAMIN-RICH CABBAGE, SPINACH AND KALE

The following article, one of
 of series on autumn Victory
 Gardens, was especially pre-
 pared for NEA Service by ex-
 perts of the L. s. Department
 of Agriculture.
 No home food production pro- gram will have been well-rounded this year unless special attention is given to late garden crops. h. deed, under the favorable growing conditions of the south, the Fall garden equals the Spring garden in importance.
 The green leafy vegetables. so necessary to the diet for their minerals and vitamins, like cool weather to grow in, and their crisp, tender leaves are welcome dishes after the earlier garden crops have dwindled out under the Summer heat
 Late cabbages, always important in home garden, are especially so this year, because they store well and fit into the plans many fam flies are making to preserve much of their own food for winter use The leading varieties of late cab bage are Wisconsin Ballhead. Set out the plants about 13 inches apart in rows that are two and a half feet apart. You can store cab- bages in cool, dry, well-ventn- ated cellar, or you can bury them in an outdoor pit in the garden. LATE PLANTING FAVORED
 Collards are a form of cabbage very popular in the south for their clusters of tender leaves but they are not hardy enough for the north. They can be planted late in the summer and left standing in the garden all winter in the south. Slight freezing is said to improve their flavor rather than harm 1t,
 Spinach is an excellent cool weather crop, thriving as well in the Fall as it does in the Spring It likes rich soil for quick growth and the seed should be spaced SC there will be a plant about every two inches in the row.
