FRANK PALKA IS
 RULED AGAINST

Hartford, Conn, April 13.-(UP) Frank Palka, former Buffalo. N. Y, aviation mechanic scheduled to die in the electric chair May % for the killing of Bridgeport policeman, cannot appeal to the U. s. supreme court through his pub- lie defender counsel, 1t was ruled today by State Supreme Court Chief Justice William M. Maltbie. Inas- much as the duties of a public de- fender are confined to the state courts, Justice Maltbie said, Palka himself must find means to finance any further legal setps in his fight to escape the death penalty.
 Justice Maltbie last week handed down a decision upholding Palka's first degree murder conviction by a Fairfield county superior court jury It was his second trial growing out of the staying of Police Sergeant Thomas Kearney after a $3O radio store robbery in 1884. The state appealed his first conviction on a second degree murder charge and obtained a retrial.
 Pa1ka's only other recourse is to ask the board of pardons for clem- ency.
