 Their Posts

 Amend Attempts Fail
 There were two attempts to amend the bill, both by Senator Charles P. Kumpf, republican, Darien. One pro- pA;ed service be optional. It was de- feated 27 to 2. The other, permitting the bill to pass but leaving final acceptance up to the electorate at t.'e next stat. election, was defeat- by a vote of 25 to 9.
 Democratic leaders, fearing for an [ rdverse vote in the house should tile bill be amended and returned to the lower branch of reconsidera- ton, urged passage, leaving amend m nts to another session.
 Principal opposition was based on the contentious that women general ly were opposed to jury service, that their places were in the homhe, that they were emotionally unfit to pass judgment in civil and criminal mat ITS, and that their presence on juries would result in many mis- trials.
 C0oney Breaks Away
 Senator Joseph. F. Cooney, dem- ocrat, Hartford, who broke away from his party to oppose passage, declared:
