Resentencing of Francis P. Zu- kauskas, condemned slayer of Mrs. stephanie Plungis, and calling of 24 other criminai eases have been set in Superior Court for Tuesday, when the January criminal term will open.
 Judge Francis A. Pallotti, will of- ficiate at the regular criminal ses- sion, which will be highlighted by the arraignment of six men who were recently arrested during the safe-breaking probe by local police.
 Joining Judge Pallotti for the zukauskas case. which was specially assigned by the States chief jus tice, will be Judge John H. King and Judge Howard Alcorn, two of the three judges who originally sentenced the former supernumerary policeman to death last Feb. 8.
 To Hear in Person
 Zukauskas, who lost his appeal to the Supreme Court two weeks ago, will be brought to the court room at 3 D. m. from Wethersfield State Prison to hear the setting of new date for death in the electric chair.

 Public Defender Edward T. Car mody will ask to have the date set far enough in advance to permit a special hearing before the State Pardons Board. which will be asked to commute the sentence to life im- prisonment. Originally the death penalty had been set for last April 20.
