 Hartford, Conn, March 14-(UP) Dismissal of four employees of the Mansfield State Hospital and train ing school on charges of inSubor- dination was recommended today by the board of trustees.
 The charges were made against Business Manager James P. Pur- cell; Doctor Helen T. Warner; Su- perintendent of nurses Miss Flor ence M. Nichols and X-ray Techni- clan Mrs. Ely C.. Fisher
 The trustees gave a vote of con- fidence to Superintendent Dr. Neil A. Dayton against whom the four had made accusations which Gov. Baldwin said were found to be petty"
 All four are employed under the merit system and may appeal their dismissals to the state personnel appeals board.
 According to report of the gov- ernor and Supreme Court Justice Allyn L. Brown, chairman of the board, the complainants stated that they cannot go on working under him. It is apparent to us that to continue such a situation is not in the best interest of the institution nor, under the circum- stances could the superintendent continue to put his reliance and confidence upon people who do not place reliance or confidence in him.

Cavallo, who was in city court oiI reckless driving charges in connec- ton with the accident, was served with a new warrant charging neg likent homicide, which Prosecutor Frederick w. Palomba issued on re- ceipt of the coroner's finding. Judge Charles R. Summa continued the case under 5000 bond for a hear ing March 28.
 According to the coroner'S find irg, Waugh and another by-stander were standing on the sidewalk in front of 1909 North Main street waiting to board a bus, when Ca Vallo'S machine mounted the side walk, knocked over a water hydrant rtruck both by-standers, the front bumper of the car pinning Waugh against high cement wall which abutted the sidewalk.
 Cavallo testified at the coroner $ inquest that he was blinded by the lights of an oncoming car, and pulled to the right, striking a snow catch which then prevented him from stopping.
 The IlnQlng StateS:-
 "Cavallo's testimony regarding the presence of all on-commg car just prior to the accident was contradicated by other evil uence adduced at the inquest. In view of the weather and road con- ditions and in view of the fact that Cavallos car was equipped with chains, feel that this was an accident which could have been avoided if Cavallo had prop CT control of his car. The evil dence indicates that the accident was caused by failure of such control.
 T find that said death was caused by the negligence of said John Cacallo within the meaning of Section 235f of the 194l sup plement to the General Statutes of Connecticut"
