STATE EMPLOYES
 AWAIT TEST CASE
Difference Between State and Army Wages to Be
 Settled By Judge Booth
RIGA Radiophoto from NEA.

Decision is expected shortly from Superior Court Judge John R. Booth as to whether the State of Connecticut should be compelled to pay inducted state employees the difference between their pay which they received as employees of the state and the army pay after arsu- ments presented before him were heard yesterday.
 This test case will affect about l30 state employees now serving in the armed forces of the United States and others who may be 1n- ducted in the future.
 The present action was instituted in the name of Emil Bsullak of Torrington, a former junior inter viewer in the state employment office who received salary of $l30 a month. He was drafted last February and is a corporal with the Eight Coast Artillery at Fort Preble, Portland, Me, and receiv- ing a salary of $54 a month.
 Attorney Simon Bernstein of Hart- ford represents Bsullak who demands that the State Comptroller. John Dove pay the difference of $76 month. Bsullak predicates his action on Q decision handed down several months ago by Attorney General Francis A. Palotti
 Bsullak contends there is a state statute which provides for payment of the differential in wages between the salary of a state employe and the pay he re- ceives as national guardsman or a reserve officer while in annual encampment, and that under the statute the state should also pay the differential in wages to @ state employe who is @ draftee.
 Comptroller Dove received per- mission, however, from the l94l General Assembly to employ coun- sel to fight Pallottis interpretation and retained Mayor Thomas J, Spellacy of Hartford, who in turn engaged the law firm of Robinse d, Robinson and Cole of Hartford.
 At a recent preliminary hearing in Hartford, Superior Court Judge Patrick E. O'Sullivan denied mos tion to quash an application for writ of mandamus which would require Dove to pay the differen- tial wage.
 Tn a renewal of the hearing on a similar motion yesterday, John J. Kenny of Hartford represented the stata. He argued that the state comptroller has no authority to pay such claims among other points, all of which were disputed by Bern stein. It was also argued the state comptroller has no appropriation from which to make such payments.
