 Geneva. May 19. (UP)-The European federation commission had before 1t to-day broad scheme offered by Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet foreign commissar, for the complete cessation of alyl forms of economic aggression.
 Litvinoff invited to the commis- sion's meeting to discuss only the economic phases of the federation plan sponsored by France immedi- ateiy seized a dominant position in the gathering of European diplo- mat. His speech in the opening ses- sion yesterday denying charges of Soviet dumping" and calling on the nations of the world to cooperate In a move toward economic non-agres- sion caused a profound stir.
 It did more than that--it gave the Soviet chief delegate leading posi- ton in the parieys and again mark ad him as one of the outstanding figures at this European conference. It was recalled Litvinoff created a similar sensation during the League of Nations, preparatory commission on disarmament session last year. He got up and demanded that they quit discussing limitations and pro- ceed with broad scheme of world wide abandonment of all armament. The draft of Litvinoffs pact for economic non-aggression which the Soviet delegate proposed all nations of the world adopt provided:
 1-The contracting parties recon firm the principle proclaimed at the International economic conference or 1927 for the peaceful co-existence of countries. irrespective of their so- cial and economic systems.
 2-The parties undertake in mo- wise to discriminate in their rela-- tionships with one another, ana re- countries of a special attitude mili- tating against the interests of one or any countries subscribing to this protocol as incompatible to it's prin- ciples,

MRS CHARLOTTE
 NIRDLlNCER TO
 FACE HER TRIAL
Former Beauty Contest Winner Will Appear in Court at Nice, France, for Killing of Husband
BY MARY KNIGHT Limited Press StafR Correspondent)

| Nice, France. May 19-(UP)-Mrs Charlotte Nixon-Nirdlinger, former beauty contest winner, will face trlai on a charge equivalent to man. slaughter tomorrow with her two blond, curly haired children ignorant of the proceedings. The small son and daughter of the late Fred G. Nixon-NirClinger, wealthy Philadelphia theater owner. who was shot to death by his young land pretty wife in their Riviera villa two months ago, will not be taken to the court. This was decided by the mother and her attorneys, although they felt the presence of the chii- dren might help her case.
 The children-Fred, Jr, three and a half years old, and Charlotte, Is months-know nothing of their fathers death. They think he has gone on a trip and Freddy. who is called "Yankee Doodle" was worried because he wants a "big boat' his daddy promised him. He and Char lotte, who nicknamed Miss Amer ica" for her mothers beauty contest laurels, think their mother Is in
 The defense attorneys feel con- fident Mrs Nixon-Nirdlinger will be acquitted within 12 hours. She has insisted that she killed her husband, after he, in a jealous rage, attacked her.
 The children, with whom the United Press correspondent had inquired how long their father would be gone. "Why won't they let mother leave
 the hospital?" Freddy asked. He has not seen her since she was taken to jail the night of the shooting.
 Charlotte, the baby, however. has been taken to see the mother each lweek-she is too young, of course. to understand she was going into a
 jail.
 Irma Stolz, the nurse, insisted that the children would not be taken to lthe court room for the trial. Mrs Nixon -Nirdlinger has arranged to take them to the United States as
 soon as she Is permitted to leave
 France.
 The trial is to begin at a. m
 tomorrow. It should be concluded
 by 9 p. m.. the authorities being
 eager also to hurry 1t through. The charge is murder with provoca-
 tion." carrying a maximum penalty
 of five years Imprisonment. | Meanwhile. Mrs Nixon-Nirdlinger prepared to make herself as allurine

fication papers to the president of the European commission.
 The preamble to the pact sub- mitted by Litvinofr said:
 1--Mitigation of the world econo- mic crisis, in addition to abstention from war, requires complete cessa- tion of all forms of economic az. sression, avowed or concealed, by any country or countries against other countries.
 2-Cessation of economic aggres- sion is essential for peaceful co- operation of states in the sphere of economics, irrespective of their poli- tical and economic systems.
 3-Cessation of economic 'aggres- sion will help end the present at- mosphere of distrust, uncertainty and alarm which is weighing upon the economic situation.
 Litvinoff in his speech defined Humping" as the maintenance or Thigh monopolistic prices in home He charged that capitalist countries were guilty of dumping" and in his counter charges cited the recent sugar accord under which sugar producing nations will seek to regu. late prices upward by control of production.
 The Soviet delegate attacked the French scheme of international in- dustrial cartels which he said keep prices high in the teeth of overpro- duction."
 He said the European commission should adopt a convention providing for the compulsory sale on home markets at prices not above foreign markets. He added that the Soviet government was ready to sign such pact.
 Litvinoff attacked the preference system" if it is construed to mean extension of privileges to certain countries only, and demanded that each European nation establish identical treatment for all states.
 Indirectly approving the proposed Austro- German customs union, Lit- vinoff asserted that "self-determina- ton includes the right of any coun- try to enter union with another"

available regarding the total
amount Germany will purchase,
private cable advices from Ber
lin indicate that the Rsichs bank
holds practically enough metal
to meet its requirements. The
trade, however, believes that
some additional silver will be re
quired and it is thought possible
that additional purchases may
be made the next few weeks.
The monthly report of the
American bureau of metal stats
tics shows that Ill 900 ounces of
silver we're shipped from New
York to England and Germany
10 July. compared with $4,000
ounces in June. Total shipments
to those two countries in the first
seven months this year amount.
