Testimony Completed InHeurinq
 Judge Reserves
 Decision on $124,OOO Estote
S124.0OO Estate

Decision was reserved by Super Tor Court Judge John A. Cornell today in the probate appeal of Ed- win Todd of southington involving the el240OO estate of the late Eveline T, Morris of Waterbury. A companion appeal, brought by Ade- line A. watkins and her brother, Frederick D. Parker( both of Ohio, was reported settled out of court at the opening of the Todd hearing.
 Todd seeks to obtain Q one-six- teenth share which was willed to his sister, Eva Todd Clark, but dee clared intestate by probate court last May and ordered distributed to the representative of the late Nellie Morris, daughter of Mrs. Morris.
 The appellant claims an eighth of the Morris estate was left for him and his sister as class, and that the probate court erred In breaking 1t. in two pieces and ordering dis- tribution of one of the pieces to someone else. Counsel for Todd CLaAAueU JOuhy tuhJ Cue UeStaJElx did not wish to have any portion of her estate go intestate, and dee cuared that for that reason the will was made and trust fund was set up for her daughter.
 The daughter, who died a year ago, benefited from the estate dur ing her lifetime. The Morris will, drawn up in 1902, provided for dis- tribution of the estate upon the daughters death.
 Todd was grand-nephew of Mrs. Morris.
 The other two appellants sought to obtain one-eighth share which the probate court ordered distribute ed to their mothers foster brother, Frederick Holcomb Todd of Cleve- land. They were given a one- eight share, as representatives of their mother, the late Mrs. Georgi- anna Todd Parker. The two shares had been wiiled to their grandfather Franklin Todd.

Refunding Project Finished
 Revenue Office
 Announces Poy-
 nents Completed q

Completion of the scheduling and mailing of refunds for overpayment of 1914 income tax for returns filed in the district of Connecticut was announced today by Frank w. Kraemer, Collector of Internal Rev. enue. Taxpayers who claimed re- funds on their 1924 income tax re- turns and who filed their returns on or before March 1945, but who have not received their cheeks to date are invited to consult the of- ficeof the collector. MT. Kaemer stated that many cheeks are unde- liverable because of faulty or chang ed addresses of taxpayers. ALSO taxpayers may not have recelveo their refunds because Of the lact that no return is on record as hav- ing been filed with the bureau. MT. Kraemer suggests in this case that the taxpayer, first having ascertain ed that no record of return filed exists, should complete a form 1O4O, mark 1t duplicate" and accompany tlds return with a signed afhdavit stating the facts in the case. Re- turns filed after March IS, 1946 claiming refunds are being processed and checks sent out as quickly as possible.
 Qualification of the completion well ahead of schedule of the mail- ing of refund cheeks from all col- lection districts throughout the country was expressed by Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue recently. Appron- mately q 1,0O0,00 taxpayers received refunds totaling about $1,000, 900 900 substantially all of which was in repayment for tax withheld from their wages in excess of their tax liability for 1914. MT. Nunan stated, "The completion of the refunding of excessive wfthholdings and pre- payments of income tax for 1914, well ahead of schedule, is an ac- complishment which brings to me a great deal of satisfaction. I desire to share this feeling with Collectors of Internal Revenue, the head of the processing division, and all em- ployes of the service who partici- pated in this outstanding perform at1ce and to express my admiration of task well done. Approximately q ,0000 900 refunds have been sched- uled. the bulk of them in period of slightly more than four months. The fact that this splendid showing was made at a time when all of the energies and facilities of the coun- try were devoted to the prosecu- ton Of the war is particularly grati- flying and is something in which we can all take pride"

(Continued from Page D for a strike vote among upwards oi 600,000 workers in 766 steel, iron and aluminium plants.
 Conferences with United Auto Workers President R. J. Thomas and John L. Lewis head of the United Mine Workers Union, were slated for later this week.
 Another serious tie-up threatened after the Westinghouse Electric Corp. rejected wage demands of the United Electrical Workers (CIO) for a flat @ day increase. Union of- ficials said a strike vote would be requested for s0yo0o Westinghouse workers.
 Tn the uneasy automotive industry, JAW officials disclosed that Ford Motor CO. workers already had inc dicated their willingness to strike, if necessary. for Q 30 per cent wage . increase.
 Negotiations Postponed
 Ford workers, scheduled to ballot Nov. ! under the Smith, Connally act, voted almost unanimously in favor of a walkout in union poll. Wage negotiations with Ford, orig finally set for early next month. have been postponed to Nov. 20.
 General Motors and ChrySler Workers already have registered overwhelming support of union off, cials in similar demands for wage increases.
 Michigan Rep. Frank Hook last night assailed c proposal by General Motors to extend the standard work week from 70 to 46 hours to give workers more take-home pay.
 The Democratic Congressman as- serted flatly that "lengthening the work week is a step backwards" and said that Q 46-hour week would lead to further unemployment.
 Dispute Discrimination
 The American communication as- sociation (CIO) yesterday petitioned the National Labor Relations Board for 6 strike vote among 1000 West ern Union employees of Metropolitan New York. President Joseph Selly described the petition as insurance to force company compliance with a Regional War Labor Board wage directive.
 Tn Detroit, local ii of the Com- mercial Photographers Union (AFL) voted to strike against the Western Union for five hours next Friday to protest PWLB ruling granting AFL Photographers 6 four-cent hourly in- crease while giving CIo telegraphers c i0-cent increase.
 Strike leaders said failure of Hig- gins Industries, Inc, officials to agree to new contract terms had forced approximately $500 members of the AFL Metal Trades Council to quit work yesterday. The strike shut down the companys three New Or. leans units.

 Suiyuar lies in inner Mongolia and IS largely under Communist control.
 Richard w. Johnston, United Press Staff Correspondent with the U. s. Navy off the north China coast, reported that thousands of well-armed and well-equipped Cht- nese Nationalist troops debarked from American transports at dawn at Chinwangtao, 170 miles north of T1entsin.
 The troops formed ranks in the town square under Chinese Lieutea- art-G General Shih and marched quickly inland. Behind them rum- bled tanks, vehicles and guns, also landed from American ships.
 Communists Withdraw
 Chinese Communist forces, some of whose commanders have vowed to fight to the death against any Nationalist penetration of Man churia, were reported withdrawing to defense positions along the Great Wall of China on the Manchurian border, only l6 miles north of Chintwangtao.
 The two armies apparently ale ready were within gunShot of one another, but there was no iI1dica. ton whether the Nationalists intend to push across the border immedi- ately
 American Marines for some time have been stationed in Chinwang- tao, which until today been virtual ly on island in the midst of Com inunist-held territory.
 .Nationalists asked the Marines to provide and man Q truck spearhead Into the Communist-held country. side, but their commander, It. Col. John Gormley, refused because of the possibility that Americans might become involved in fighting between two Chinese factions.
 March Quickly Into Interior
 It also was because of this desire to avoid American casualties that the Central Government troops marched immediately into the ir- terior instead of lingering in the marine-held port
 Communists still hold small towns and villages both north and south of Chinwangtao and have cut sev- eral railway lines in the vicinity.
 The landing also put Central Government troops in position di- rectly east of the original north China provinces held by the Coi1l- munistS and north of the rich, Coin- mrnist-held shantung peninsula.

 Failure of the CIO to secure wage- increase and union shop clauses for new contract with the Scovill Go. will be discussed by the union rneri- bers at two separate meetings with in the next 4S-hours. The members will be asked, 1t was learned today, If they want to continue negotia- tons, working meanwhile without 8 contract, or to take strike vote.
 Contract Expires Tonight
 William Moriarty, CIO interna- tional representative, disclosed to- day that the local will not be bound under the Smith, Connally Act to wait 30 days before a strike vote can be taken. The constitution of the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union provides for strike action on Q three-day notice, and that provision may be invoked by the members if they favor strike action, 1t was in. dicated. t
 The current contract with the Scovill Co.,, expires at midnight tonight, and neither the union nor the management has offered an ex- tention, 1t was disclosed. With the expiration of the contract, which contains a no-strike pledge, the union will be free to act on a pos- sible strike, union officials stated.
 A last-rninute conference was held this morning by Chase management with union representatives on a new contract, but 1t was reported no headway was made. A national con- ciliator, William Traux, who had been assigned to the case, was not present at this mornings session but was scheduled to come here again next Thursday.
 Under the three-day waiting period rule, strike vote could be set by the union for Monday, c spokesman stated. The first shift workers will meet tomorrow night at 8 D. m. at Concordia hall, and the second shift employees vii gather Thursday at ?. m. at the union headquarters at 24 Grand street.
 About 5000 workers at the Scovill Company would be affected by Q strike vote. The American Brass plants and the Chase Company employ about 10000 and 5000, res- pectively.
 Comsr. Walter Maggiolo of the U. s. Cancellation Service held Q lengthy conference with American Brass Go. and union officials this morning and the session was sched- uied to be resumed this afternoon.

 The ABC session was called in an effort to settle the bonus dispute and wage-increase issue so that the strike vote Nov. 5 and a strike could be averted.

 Failure of the Chase company to set up job evaluation plan is one of the main causes for the re. ported unrest. The union also is aggrieved by failure to obtain a wage increase or to secure request. ed provisions in c new bargaining contract.
