 IS UNDECIDED

Louisville, Ky, Oct. 12-(UP)- After first denying an application for a new trial on behalf of Thomas H. Robinson, Jr, convicted of Kidnapping Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, Louisville society woman, Federal Judge Elwood Hamilton today agreed to withhold filing his decision 10 days.

 DECISION GOES

 State to Reconsider
By JOHN A. REICHMANN

Washington, Oct. 12-(UP)-The supreme court today rejected the plea of three industrial states that it reconsider its ruling that they have no right to regulate the wages of women in industry and, in effect, |reafiirmed its sharply criticized opin- ion of last spring.
 The plea on which the court acted was presented by New York state, whose minimum wage law resulted in last terms opinion and by Illi- noise and Massachusetts which have similar statutes.
 These states asserted that the de- precision made it imperative for the state to protect women workers in the interest of public health and morals.
 What States Believed
 The states believed they had pre- sened this argument to the court when 1t first considered the case last spring.
 However, the courts majority opinion by Justice Pierce Butler asserted that the tribunal had not been asked to reconsider the legal principles involved in the light of present day conditions.
 Butler and the majority therefore ruled that the principles of law in- volved had been established by the

Special Marketing Com mittee So Reported to
 Buckingham

Hartford, Conn, Oct. i2-(UP)-A special marketing committee re- ported to State Milk Administrator s. Mclean Buckingham today that it found . proposal to pay producers fiat price attractive, but imprac- ticable."
 Chairman Dr. Charles A. Beard, New Milford, told the commissioner it was found that varying condi- tions throughout the state precluded success of such a plan which, "in lorg-run operation would tend to carry the price down to the level of the price now prevailing in the low- est pool"
 In its stead, the committee re- commended each producer be as- signed quota, up to 80 per cent of which would be turned over to deal- CTS for delivery in fluid form. The balance would be used for cream separation and the manufacture of by-products. A different price level would be maintained for each classi- f1cation.
 The committee also proposed that haulage charges by limited to 25 cents per hundred pounds; that the producer-dealer contracts be dated from Oct. 1, instead of April |: that permanent advisory commit- tee of producers be elected, support- ed by fees imposed on producers, and that dealers be required to show financial responsibility tos protect payments to producers.

OVER 25OO NEW
 VOTERS ON LIST
Only One More Day to Go; 5000 Persons Had
 Made Applications

 No session of the board of regis tration was in progress today be- cause of the fact that it was 8 legal holiday. The last-day session will open in the City Hall tomorrow at o'clock in the morning and will con- tinue until Q o'clock tomorrow eve- ming.
 5000 Applications
 Practically 5000 applications were received from prospective new vot- CTS this year in Waterbury by Regis trars of Voters John T. Derwin, democrat, and Albert o. Taller, re- publican. The fact that more than 50 per cent of the applicants will have been sworn in by closing time tomorrow night is considered good showing. This is the average annu- ally. Allowance is made by both reg istrars for duplication of names on the ito be made" lists.
 It is possible, it was said today, that the 1886 total of new voters made" will reach the 2,70O figure but doubt was in the minds of those expressing such views. f

SOVIET PATROL IN BORDER CRASH.
Two Fights Occurred With ManchukuOan Forces;
 Three Year Dispute

F X ts5tzfl
 Tokyo, oct. 12-(UP)-Two border clashes between Manchukuoan and Soviet patrols in which at least eight Soviet and one Manchukuoan soldiers were killed or wounded, were reported today by Korean army headquarters. The first fight oc- cured in Chientao province. Accord ing to reports one Manchukuoan was wounded and there were eight Soviet casualties. The second con- flict was southeast of Matita. One Manchukuoan was killed. The num- Der of Soviet casualties was un- known. These figures were based on official reports. Despatches to Tokyo newspapers placed the Marchu- kuoan dead in the two encounters variously from four to seven. These stories said that fighting in the sec- ond encounter lasted for two hours and that 200 troops were involved. Soviet casualties, the accounts said, were presumably heavy.
 Three Year Dispute
 Trouble along the Soviet-Man- chukuoan frontier has embittered Soviet-Japanese relations for three years. The border at many points along the wide arc of northern Manchuguo is not clearly defined. Both sides keep patrols near the frontier. Because of vagueness of the border, one side often fires at the other, believing it is on alien territory. Japan has proposed that the border be redefined. Moscow holds that unnecessary, contending it was clearly set in Chinese-F,us- sian treaties when China controlled Manchuria. The Russians, however, are willing to remark the border along the lines of existing official maps.

Jenusis sat quietly as Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers entered the charge that the accused had murdered Mrs. Mary Radwick Janusaitis, with whom he lived. Attorney Jo- seph Guilfoile, his counsel, informed Judge John F. McGratl1 that Jen- llsis waived examination, and the judge ordered the bind-oyer.
 Coroner Held Him
 In a finding handed down Satur- day Coroner John T. Monzani held Jenusis criminally responsible for Mrs. Janusaitis' death. The woman succumbed Sept. IS, several days after Jenusis had allegedly given her a terrific beating. The woman was suffering from serious liver atl- ment which would have caused her death, the coroner said, but the beating was 8 contributing factor.
 The next step in the case rests with States Attorney Lawrence l.. Lewis. Should MT. Lewis seek to try Jenusis on murder charge, he will ask for the summoning of grand jury to return an indictment against the accused. Or the states attorney can decide to try Jenusis on a manslaughter charge or some lesser count.
 First Murder In Years
 The murder charge against Jenu- sis today was the first one lodged in city court in several years. Under the statutes, no bond can be set in tnurder case and Jenusis will be he'd in custody until arraigned in superior court unless meanwhile, the charge against is changed or 1esSened.
 The woman had been living with Je;iusis for the past five years according to Coroner Monzani, hav- ing left her husband and family in Naugatuck. The assault which led to her death is said to have taken place either Aug. 28 or Sept. 1.
