DEWEY, MARTIN
 MEET MONDAY
Paramount Campaign Dis- cussiOn Topics to Be
 Outlined

Albany, July 6 - CU.P) - Gov- ernor Thomas E. Dewey, Repub- lican presidential candidate, today assumed leadership of his party's drive to regain control of congress and oust the Democratic adminis- tration from the White House.
 The governor, it was disclosed, will attempt to dovetail his cam- paign for the presidency with the drives of Republican candidates for congress, especially those seeking reelection, in an effort to bring about a COP sweep in November.
 Dewey's first move to bring con- greSsional candidates into a com mon cause will be made Monday at conference with representatives from Massachusetts, including Rep resentative Joseph w. Martin, Jr.. house minority leader, and Cover nor Leverett Saltonstall, a candi- date for the U. s. Senate. He will seek their views on campaign issues and at the same time give them his ideas on what should be made the paramount topics of discussion from now until November.
 T will discuss the issues of the campaign and obtain the attitude of the Republican members of Con- gress on problems facing the coun- try" Dewey said at a press confer ence yesterday. T hope to talk with as many Republican congressman as possible and everyone of them will be asked to give their views"
 The Massachusetts congressional delegation also will include U. S. Senator Sinclair Weeks, a strong supporter of Wendell L. Willkie, Dewey said Weeks presence at the conference had no political signifi- canoe other than what had been stated.
 Asked whether he would seek to bring Willkie actively into the cam- paign through weeks, the governor replied:
 "1n my judgement we will discuss the problems of the campaign and and the problems which face the country. That is my complete ans- wer to your question"

INOXON VERDICT | LIKELY TODAY
47.Year.OId Lawyer May
 Know Fate Before NightfalI
By JOSEPH NOLAN United Press Stan COrrespondent)

 United Press Stan COrrespondent)
 Pittsfield, Mass, July 6.-(UP)-A jury of middle-aged men will decide today after hearing Superior Judge Abraham E. Pinanski's charge whether John F. Noxon Jr., was guilty of murder in the electrocu- ton of his six-month old imbecile son, Lawrence, last Sept. 9.
 A verdict was expected before nightfall. First or second degree murder convictions would carry mandatory penalties of death in the electric chair, or life in prison re- spectively.
 The 47-year old lawyer-defend- ant listened stolidly while his own counsel, Joseph B. Ely, and his for- mer Harvard classrnate, District At- torney Charles R. Alberti, painted contrasting pictures of events sur- rounding the baby's death in the library of the Noxon home.
 "The black mantle of murder does not fit the circumstances of this case," Ely contended. "The at- tempt of the commonwealth to weave a network of guilt around John Noxon was broken in two places. It was broken in the move ments of the baby, and 1t was broken in the length of time 1t took to cause the child's burns. The de- fendant has answered every question during this long ordeal as an hon. est and an innocent man."
 The defense attorney explained what he called three suspicious cir- cumstanceS," as follows:
 1. Noxon burned the electric trouble cord because he thought the police investigation was finished, and because he didn't want his 15- year old son John to get hurt. 2. The tray on which the baby was lying did not figure in the fatality since no electricity passed through 1t.
 3. The notes about the baby'S death found in Noxon's wastebas- ket contained neither an admission of guilt nor any contradiction.
 Tn his summation, Alberti accused Noxon of planting" the tray and the trouble cord to throw police of the trail, and declared that "if the defendant were telling an hon. est story, he wouldn't need to make

LAND ARMY GETS RECRUITS FRIENDS FOR FARM JOBS
BY CAROL HERMAN NEA Staff Writer

New York.-Scores of citybred wo- men, who with fear and trepedia- ton turned farmerette last summer to save Americas crops from going unharvested in the face of a criti- cal farm-man-power shortage, are getting down to earth" again this summer - without any qualmS al all. Tn fact, they are recruiting friends and relatives to take farm vacation jobs and help feed a fighter in A."
 One group of about 26O enthu- siastic New Workers who saved the states berry, bean, tomato and ap- pie crops from rotting in the fields last summer, met weekly during the winter to do Red Cross and civilian defense jobs.
 A member of this winter sol- dier" corps of the Woman's Land Army, Floris Altheimer, reception ist with the War Manpower Com mission and one of the first to go again this year, said: "The projects are run beautifully. I never had a better time in my life than I had last summer working out in the sum- shine. Besides 1t does wonders for the figure and didn't have a cold all winter. could hardly wait to get back to it."
 Many city slickers have taken such liking to farming, reports to farm extension service offices indicate, that they are settling down on farms permanently.
 Such enthusiasm isn't 8 one- sided proposition by any means. Farmers are completely sold on having distaff assistance. The very same farmers who last year grudgingly accepted city women expected them to work in high heels, step all over the potato patch, and get tangled into the machinery, are this year eagerly clamoring for for 80,000 women workers.
 County agricultural agents re- port that last year proved to most farmers that, compared to boys of 16 and l8, women are more con- scientiouS, make better use of their time, require less supervision and in general do a superior job at everything from candling eggs to driving tractors.
 Comment of one dairy farmer who has repeated his request for feminine assistance is typical: "The women we had last year took full charge of pasteurizing, sep arating, cooling, bottling and keeping the dairy clean and order ly. They were willing to do what ever job we asked of them, and they stuck to it until 1t was fin ished. They were much more intelligent and wasted less time than boys we have had in other summers.
 Though many women have al- ready answered the nations call, many more can be used. During July, women are most needed throughout the country as fruit and vegetable harvesters. Corn detasselers and wheat hands are also needed in the middle west, while there's a shortage of hay harvesters on the west coast. In August and September every ag- ricultural district in the country is expected to need women on the farms.
 On most projects farmerettes will be housed in summer camps, hotels, private homes, or tourist cabins, obtained for them by Wom- ans Land Army leaders, or county

any notes, he'd remember the de. tails of his baby's death to hiG last hour"
 Alberti described as "a heinou accusation" Ely's implication that bare spots on the electric wire were caused uninSentionally by NoXonS son John while he was playing with the trouble cord. The bare spots were made deliberately by Noxon with knife or some other sharp instrument, the district attorney said.
 Assailing Noxon's own conduct op the witness stand under cross-ex- animation, Alberti charged that he resorted to the cloak of the per- jurer' to cover his guilt.
 Look at this defendant" said Al- berti. "You can see guilt in his face, read it in, his eyes and almost hear its workings in the very silence of his thoughts"
