MAXWELL JUDGE
WILL RULE TODAY
Defense, if Upheld, Will Keep
Former School Teacher
Off Stand.
q. the Associated Press.

WISE, Va, December l2-Counsel
for Edith Maxwell looked to decisions
by Judge Ezra T. Carter today to de-
termine whether the comely defendant
would take the stand in her second
trial on charges of numbering her
father.
M. J. Fulton, one Of her attorneys,
said If the defense were upheld on two
OF its motions it would rely on the
testimony of two physicians. who he
said would declare Trigg Maxwell died
Of natural causes"
The defense objections were raised
when the State for the first time yes
terday linked Edith with the death Of
her father, and attempted to place in
the record OF this trial her testimony
in the previous proceedings. when she
received 25-year prison sentence that
was set aside by the State Supreme
Court of Appeals.
Commonwealth's Attorney Fred B.
Greear's move to put former Deputy
Sheriff r. S. Hubbard on the stand to
recount Edith's testimony at the
former trial brought from the defense
the objection that to admit such evi-
dence would be in effect to compel the
defendant to testify against herself,
contrary to her constitutional rights.

mittee on Fair Trade Practices. which
the council approved late yesterday.
Model Act Is Proposed.


the council approved late yesterday.
Model Act Is Proposed.
Dealing with business and industrial
evils in terms of fair and unfair"
competition, this report suggests
enactment of a model fair competi-
ton act which would ban not only
Misrepresentation in advertising and
merchandising but would extend its
prohibition to unjust or unreason-
able wage or hour standards or the
employment of child labor"
For administration of such an act,
the council proposed creation Of unit
Of the Federal Trade Commission as
one solution. but of greater interest
was the suggestion for establishment
of an independent industrial court to
hear and adiudicate all complaints of
violation. Such court, it was pro-
posed further, would have the power of
issuing permanent and temporary in
functions. Labor's approval of this
feature was conditioned upon it being
allowed representation in such court
From the councils Committee on
Antitrust Laws came a report also
calling for prohibition by law of SINH
lar malpractices of business and a
recommendation that a special ap-
pellate court be stabliShed to hear
appeals from administrative agencies
handling these laws. This report
likewise was adopted.
Production Control Opposed.
In more general terms, the coun-
Gil approved a policy report which
places them on record in opposition
to production control in favor of mini
mum wage and overtime rates. in op-
position to unfair competitive prac-
tices and in favor of creation of a
permanent advisory economic council.
The council approved. also, a reso-
luton calling for a study of the ma
tional. State and local tax structures
with a view to eventual overhauling
of all.
In addition, it urged the taking of
an employment census every five years
and setting up definitions and stand
ards by which such a census should
De taken.
To correlate all these recommends
tions and weld them into legislative
shape which might lead to their ac-
ceptance by Congress. the council
named a special committee to carry
on through the coming session of Con-
gress.
Berry Offers to Quit.
Referring to those representatives
of industry who have declined to par
ticipate in the councils meetings,
George L. Berry, Federal co-ordinator
for industrial cooperation. in a radio
address last night declared himself
not desirous of continuing in his Office
if that should be the reason for their
failure to cooperate.
They disliked the President and
they disliked organized labor" he
said. Now they don't dislike the
President, if We are to read the news
papers. They want to cooperate.
But in order for them to cooperate,
the President must get himself a new
co-ordinator. Well, if it helps to save
their faces I am not so vain as
to want to be co-ordinator and thereby
abridge progress"

INDUSTRY COUNCIL
PLANSLEC|SLAT|0N
viii Attempt to Draft Laws
Within Constitution,
Berry Says.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Committed irrevocably to the propo-
gition of finding basis for minimum
wage, maximum hour and fair trade
practice legislation, the Council for
Industrial Progress still will attempt
to draft all its desired legislation
within the framework of the Constitu-
ton as it now stands, it was stated to-
day by Mai. George L. Berry. Federal
co-ordinator for industrial co-opera-
ton.
Failing in attempts to keep such
legislation within those limits. the
council as whole will be asked to ap-
prove a campaign on behalf of a
constitutional amendment, Berry con-
tinued
Significant in this respect was the
further revelation by Berry that a
representative of the management
group in the council yesterday pro-
posed resolution committing the
council in support of a constitutional
amendment. The resolution was with
drawn, however, at Berry's request
until the Correlating Committee of the
council has an opportunity to go over
the entire legislative program and de-
termine whether it can be so con-
structed as not to run afoul of the
Supreme Courts Interpretation of the
Constitution.
Berry Denies Reports.
Berry took occasion today to deny
reports that he might resign to ap-
pease big business"
"The only man who can return me
to the ranks is the President of the
United States" he said. The Steel
Institute wouldn't come here to meet
with labor if Myron Taylor himself
were the co-ordinator."
Berry denied, however, that the
Councils actions in favor of legisla-
ton similar to the late N. I. R. A. had
been inspired by the White House.
Most definite of the regulative pro-
posals, later to be whipped into leg
tslative form. was that of the Com
