As Government workers in large
numbers continued to board the Santa

ployes' Christmas campaign gained
momentum today and Chief Co.

plan of procedure for his aides.
His instructions are being issued to

bureaus Of the Government who wish
to join The Evening Star. Warner
Brothers theaters, the National
Broadcasting Co., the Metropolitan
Police Department and the Parent
Teacher Association in its movement
to see that no one in Washington
Is forgotten this Christmas.
OF foremost importance is the
necessity of establishing at once q
central point for collection of gifts
In each branch or section of the Gov
ernment participating in the CAM
paign, Daniel stated. In some de-
partments one room is being desig.
mated for that purpose. In others.
boxes or tables are being placed
throughout the building for the COL
lection of toys and clothing. Volun-
teer workers who have assumed lead
ership in organizing their own sec
tions are requested to attend to this
detail.
Pickup Gifts December l8.
December 18 has been set as the
date for a fleet of trucks to pick up
all gifts on hand in the Federal
bureaus at that time. These contri-
buttons will be delivered to the
Warner Brothers Earle Theater and
from that point will be turned over
to the Parent Teacher Association
for distribution in cooperation with
the Metropolitan Police.
In order that the drivers may
know where to call for gifts, however,
persons in charge in the individual
bureaus are requested to notify the
co-ordinator of the whereabouts of
repositories. This should be done as
early as possible by calling District
2200, Extension 2421.
Gifts collected in the Federal
bureaus after December l8 will be
taken up by the Metropolitan Police
upon call either to National 1000 or
Metropolitan HOO. Bureaus wishing
to record gifts collected after De-
cember 18 should also notify Daniels
Office Of the size OF their contribu-
tions.
Clothing Need Stressed.
The need for clothing as well as toys
Is being stressed by the co-ordinator,
who pointed out also that gifts for
adults as well as children are in order.
Among the first Federal agencies
to report campaign already well un-
DER way Is the Maritime Commission
In the Commerce Building. Headed
by William r. Kavanaugh, a commit.
tee in charge has distributed bulletins
throughout the commission urging
employees to "join the toy and Joy

Commission. the bulletin announced.
Chief Co-ordinator Daniel also re.
iterated his request for the names of
all volunteer workers who are willing

MAXWELL DEFENSE
CHANGES TACTICS
Girl Will Claim Father Died
of Heart Failure, Not
Blows,
By the Assoeiatsc Press.

oy tue AseoCl1ttc EIesS.
WISE, Va, December 9.-Counsel
for Edith Maxwell brought . new
theory Of defense into her second trial
today for the murder of her father
with the claim that Trigg Maxwell
died in his mountain cabin lS months
ago Of heart failure and not of blows
struck by his daughter.
Charles Henry Smith. one of the
former school teachers attorneys. said
competent medical authorities" would
support the defense contention that
the Pound, Va, mine-hlacksmith died
of natural causes.
On that claim. he indicated, the 90
year-old woman would mainly rely in
her plea for acquittal on the States
charges that she deliberately slew her
father because of long years of emnity
between the two.
Edith admitted in her first trial, in
which she was convicted and SEN
fenced to rs years in prison, that she
struck her parent in what she said was
struggle that began when he tried
to whip her. But, she testified, her
weapon was only Q high-heeled shoe
she snatched from the floor of q dark
ened room in desperation when her
drunken father assailed her.
Mrs. Anne Maxwell, the mother,
who is still under indictment in the
case, and q younger sister corroborated
Edith's version Of the fight. They also
said Trigg Maxwell died not imme-
diately after the blows were struck,
but after he rose from bed and strug-
gled across the back porch.
