but the company again that day declined to issue the forms. Later that same day, he said, the com pany agreed to comply, following a warning by Howard E. Hausman, director of the Unemployment Compensation Division, that steps to enforce the law would be taken immediately.
 The first termination notices were issued yesterday morning, union sources reported.
 In commenting on the case to- day, Judge Mascolo said:
 An important precedent has been established. It should serve as a warning to employers who might seek to evade the provisions of the law"
 Union employees at the Waterbury plant of the Risdon Company went on strike Aug. 20, following an an nouncment by the company the day before that it would no longer recognize Local 251 as the bargain ing agent for workers. The com pany contended that the union did not represent a majority of the employees. The South Main Street factory has been picketed daily since the start of the strike.

1000 OTextiIe WorkersQuit

New York, Oct. 2-CUP)-A strike of members of the Wholesale and Warehouse Workers Union (C1.Oo, which eventually could force most of the city's vast dress manufactur- ing industry to shut down, began to- day against a number of textile con- verterS.
 The union, which authorized the strike last night, began picketing ap- proximately 12 of the 120 firms rep resented by the association of up- town converters.
 A union spokesman said no gener- al strike against all converters would be called at this time. He warned, however, that the strike might spread because of the temper of the pickets.
 Approximately 1000 warehouse men, sales help and office workers are involved directly in the dispute. But should the flow of textile fab rics be halted, the effects would be felt throughout the entire garment industry.
 The union sought wage increases and a closed shop for salesmen and office help. The union already has a closed shop covering warehousemen.

WetherSfeld, Oct. 2 - (UP) - Three convicts died in the Connec- ticut electric chair last night for the murder of prison guard-one of them without receiving his last request for steak dinner.
 Arthur Tommaselli, 24, who was executed with Raymond Lewie, 19, and James J. Mccarthy, 21, had asked for steak for his last meal. But the request could not be filled because of the meat shortage and chicken was substituted.

More Nazis
 To Be Tried Next Month
Plans for TrioI
 Now Under Woy; 2,OOO in Custody

Nuremberg, Oct. 2-CUP)-In- formed sources indicated today amid preparations for the execution of Adolf Hitler's top flight aides that another group of high NaziS held for war atrocities might be put on trial in November.
 Plans for the trial of more high Nazis gained momentum even as Hermann Goering and his 10 doomed colleagues conferred with their law yers on appeals for clenency, with no more than a microscopic hope of success.
 In Berlin, several crowds of Ger mans marched with red banners through the downtown streets, de- nouncing the Nuremberg verdicts as too soft. They were on the way to mass protest meeting sponsored by the Socialist Unity Party, upon which the SovietS look benevolently
 Informed quarters said President Truman was expected to make an announcement on the trials of Ger man industrialistS, finaneierS, less CT ranking NaN leaders, and men implicated in SS atrocities after he confers with Justice Robert H Jackson, ci1ief U. s. prosecutor at Nuremberg.
 InforInants said cases were being prepared against German industri- alists, but the work had not yet been completed.
 Jackson was expected to press for an early decision on future Nazi trials. A White House statement was expected to disclose whether they would be international or an all- American undertaking.
 Accurate figures on the number of men to be tried in the second wave" of hearings were lacking. Unofficial estimates were that more than 2,000 Nazis were in custody, most of them in the American and British zones. InformantS said several trials might be run off at the same time in var ious parts of the U. S. zone.

Young, chairman of the Waterbury Housing Authori- ty, reported to The Democrat today. Similar reductions are being affect ed elsewhere throughout the State.

Hull, Near
 Death, 'Bia5 Unity
Stotesmon Marks His 18th Birthday In Grave Illness

Washington, Oct. 2-(UP)-Cor- dell Hull, who is critically ill from stroke suffered Monday night, rested fairly well during the better part of the night, g A! M. bulletin said today.
 His condition is essentially un- changed" the bulletin said.
 The weary but courageous voice of Hull, father of the United Nations, appealed dramatically for peace and big five unity as he lay gravely ill on his 18th birthday.
 Lay Near Death
 Men the world over watched in- tently as the man who served as Secretary of State through 12 of the most troubled years in American history, lay near death at the nearby Bethesda, Md, Naval Hospital. His condition took turn for the worse late yesterday.
 Shortly before suffering the stroke, the white-haired former Sec retary of State penned what may be his final plea-and warning-to the statesmen of the world. His friends had urged him to draft the state ment in connection with his 18th birthday anniversary today.
 Noting that dangerous" strains are tugging at the ties that once bound the big powers together in a victorious alliance, Hull's statement said 8 special responsibility still rests on Britain, China, France. Russia and the United States to lead the world to international accord.
 "No matter how laborious the task" his message said, "if the large nations can agree and act together to that end, then there is hope that our military victories of year ago will be turned into enduring peace.
 Calls for Unity
 Then came the warning:
 "Incalculable disaster would result if these nations should become iT- reconcilably divided, either within or among themselves" There was a message, too, to the smaller nations-an appeal to keep the faith with those ideals of a brotherhod of peace, justice and freedom which inspirited our war time unity and our wartime efforts to insure unity among us after vic- tory
 sAli mankind will be eternally grateful" Hull's message said, ito those statesmen who follow this course unswervingly and thus dem onstrate their courage, their ability, and-above all-their myielding de- votion to peace and humanity at one of the most perilous junctures in history"
