Judge Jennings Rules Prof. Levitt's Plea for Mandamus Legitimate Action Arises Over Alleged Violation of
 Grade Crossings Law.
Court Says State Official Must Proceed With Case Just as Though Ordered by Governor to Begin Proceedings Victory for Critic.

 The judge ruled petition pre- sented by Professor Albert Levitt. Greenwich law teacher. and signed by loo electors, makes such action mandatory upon the attorney gen. eral,
 oNcrrules ANcrill Plea
 In making this decision, Iudge Jennings overrulcd the contention Of Assistant Attorney General Er- nest l.. .Averill that the attorney general had discretion in the mat ter.

 Files Memorandum Today Judge Jennings ruling was con- taiucd in a memorandum of dccisiop ! filed with the clerk of s,lpcrior. court.
 The judge interpreted ,he word shall in section 5G14 or the gen. cral statutes as making it fl1nda- tory that the attorney general in- sti'ute an custer action upon g pe- tition such as Lcvitt's.
 Assistant Attorney General Ernest l.. Avcrill had contcnded that the attorney general had discretion in the matter.
 In todays decision, Judge Jcn- nings said the law made action OH his part compulsory if petition signed by 100 or more voters were presented.
 Should the governor request that the attorney general bring action against q commission, the legal of ficcr would feel compelled to act, the judge said in his memorandum. The governors authority in such case is no more than that of 100 citizens, he ruled.
