Last year the system was used
only in Florida, applying to citrus

to asparagus, raisin grapes, toma-
toes and cotton. But Mr.. Ham said
its spread to many more States is
likely In 1914 to prevent skyrocket-

He discussed the plan with farm

are concerned with mobilizing L.

Two CIO unions have asked the

the hearing.
The new petition set forth 81 rea-
sons for reconsideration. The unions

PITTSFIELD, Mass, Feb. 26.-
Dramatic production of a life-size
doll in Berkshire Superior Court
highlighted yesterdays session in
the murder trial of John F. Noxon,
Ijr., 47-year-old socially prominent
corporation lawyer.
The doll was introduced by Dis
trict Attorney Charles r. Alberti
shortly before court adjourned until
Monday.
The State has charged that
6-month-old Lawrence Noxon was
electrocuted by his father mot only
with deliberate malice aforethought
but with extreme atrocity."
Several witnesses testified and
then former Massachusetts, Gov.
Joseph B. Ely of defense counsel
asked District Attorney Alberti for
copies of pictures taken by State
police of the dead baby, which were
entered as exhibits.
Mr.. Alberti gave Mr.. Ely copies
of the pictures and then said he
had something else for him to see,
reaching into paper carton and
drawing out the life-size doll.
do you think you are acting as
the district attorney of this county
should act?" snapped Mr.. Ely. do
you think producing that thing was
proper conduct?"
Judge Abraham E. Pinanski
snoothed things over by observing
to the jurors that colloquies between
counsel should not be considered as
evidence.
Mr.. Alberti declared Noxon told
Investigators conflicting stories
about the subnormal infants death,
which the State contends was caused
by an extension rigged to a radio
after the child had been placed on
a metal plate.
Noxon has contended the baby's
death occurred accidentally when
he left the room to obtain tools to
fix the radio.
