 Moscow, April 27 - (UP) - Japan was accused of formulating n plot to "steal" the Chinese East ern railroad, Soviet owned rail lir@ that cuts through the heart of Manchuria, in Soviet News dis patches today.
 The long, brewing dispute over the important railroad was be- lieved to be nearing a climax.
 Manchurian dispatches reaching here described Japanese troop concentrations in Eastern Man churia. Soviet troops were being concentrated on the Russian side of the Manchurian border. Foreign observers were fearful the tense situation might result in armed conflict.
 Soviet dispatches from Khaba- rovsk charged the Japanese had plotted to disorganize traffic on the Chinese Eastern, expel Soviet railroad officials, and then seize complete control. Japanese officials in Harbin early in April submitted for ratification by the Japanese military authorities detailed plan for obtaining control of the railroad, the dispatches asserted.
 The plan involved systematic tn- reference with the railroads bus mess, especially in its eastern sec- ton, and a practical halting of all freight shipments on the Ussurisk and Zabaikal railroads. Soviet owned extensions from the main line.
 Retention of Soviet-owned roll ing stock by Manchoukuo authori- ties In recent weeks was part of the plot, the dispatches said.

A grand jury sitting in superior court here to-day <returned an in- dictment of second degree murder against Eleanor Saddler, IS, local negress, but it's finding may be de- clared illegal on the grounds that one of It's members, Attorney John II. Cassidy, is not an elector of New Haven county. 1t was re- ported to-day that should Attorney Cassidy's appearance on the grand jury be disqualified, another grand jury will have to be called.
 The question was raised immedi- aiety upon the grand jury's report t0 Judge John Richards Booth, presiding in superior court. Attor- ney W. W. Gager, public defend- CT, argued that the finding should not be accepted because Attorney Cassidy should have bene disquali- Jed.
 Mr Gagcr said he will file a plea m abatement supporting his claims. He quoted the statutes of the state wherein 1t reads that grand jury members shall be chosen from the electors in the county in which the court is being held.
 Since the local superior court Is located in New Haven, county, and Attorney Cassidy is an elector of Litchfield, Attorney Gager's claim is considered to carry weight.
 Attorney Cassidy practices law in Watsebury but resides in Water town which is located In Litchfield county.
 Assistant States Attorney Will liam B. Fitzgerald representing the state, asked that the arguments on the plea in abatement, be con- tinued until Tuesday. This request was granted.
 It was reported that a confer ence between Attorney Gager, States Attorney Lawrence l.. Lew is and Assistant States Attorney
