Bingo Up in i7ie Air" Hartford, Conn, May 19.-(Up)- Legalization of bingo-playing in Connecticut was "up in the air" to- day following tabling of the bill in the House late yesterday, a maileu- yer engineered by opponents of the bill.
 The motion to table was made by Rep. Hugh M. Alcorn ,Jr., House Re- publican majority leader, opposed to the measure because he believed bingo was gambling. Proponents countered it was simply 8 harmless diversion"
 The tabling came on an amend ment offered by Rep. Burton F. Sher- wood, R., Bethel, leader of the pro- ponents, to restrict operation of bin- go games to non-profit making groups. This was regarded as 8 con- cession to opponents.
 Alcorn Forces Win Nevertheless, the Alcorn forces succeeded in getting enough votes to table the bill to permit printing in the journal of the amendment. Democrats opposed the naneuver, and sought to make the bill the or der of the day for today.
 The chair, however, ruled the bill had been tabled where it would re- main unless taken of.
 Sponsors of the measure, which brought condemnation from Episco- pal and Baptist church groups, ex- pressed deep disappointment at failure of the House to act favorably. Some of this group believed the ac- tion presaged defeat of the bingo bill when it comes up perhaps next Tues- day.
 The measure, sponsored by Sen. Albert L. Coles, D., Bridgeport, passed the Senate last week without a may" vote.
 Courtesy to Governor
 Hartford, Conn, May 19.-(UP)- The House, as 8 courtesy to Gov. Baldwin, who is ill, today placed at the foot of the calendar bill de- signed to take from the highway fund the receipts from motor vehi- cles fines and forfeitiures.
 The measure was defeated over- whelmingly by the chamber earlier in the week, upsetting the admin istration's budgetary plans. House leaders succeeded in persuading the opposition Republican roads bloc to reconsider its action on the bill.
 Reconsideration was voted easily, and the bill was placed at the foot of the calendar from which it can be taken at any time by majority vote.
 The governor may address a Re- publican caucus next week on the necessity for having this bill passed, in view of the budgetary situation.
 The appropriations committee, meantime, voted a favorable report on a bill taking $170,000 from the highway fund to finance a state po- lice radio system.
