Second Edwards Trial
In Double Glen Burnie
Killing Resumes Today
BY the Asseeioted Press

BALTIMORE, June 20. The
second murder trial of Thomas
Alexander Edwards resumes to-
day after a long weekend recess.
The State still has a few tag
ends of evidence to present be-
fore winding up its accusation
that the 26-year-old Anne Arun-
del County colored man killed
John H. Mahlan and Mary Kline
Of Glen Burnie on September II,
194S.
When the State completes its
case, the two jurists sitting as
both judge and jury face a deci-
sion which may make legal his
tory in the State.
Chief Judge w. Conwell Smith
and Associate Judge Charles E.
Moylan elected to hear the testi-
mony Edwards gave at his first
trial in February of 1949.
William j. McWilliams, former
Annapolis judge who has joined
with Ridgely P. Melvin, jr., An
napolis attorney, in defending
Edwards, objected strenuously.
The two judges held his objec-
ton in allegiance and they may
now decide, after they have heard
the earlier Edwards testimony
that they should not consider it.
The general legal principle is that
a defendant may not be forced to
testify against himself. The State
contends there is precedent for an
exception in this case.
Edwards took the stand at his
first trial to repudiate a confess
sion taken from him by Capt.
Henry j. Kriss, chief of Baltimore
detectives. He was convicted and
sentenced to hang.
Maryland's Court Of Appeals
set aside this verdict, however,
ruling that Capt. Kriss had i'm
properly induced Edwards to
make the statement.

The commission designates its
own chairman.
For the past year, 1t has been
understood that President Tru-
man planned to "modernize" the
commission. but the changes we're
announced yesterday without any
White House explanation.
The balcony fight arose in the
winter Of 1947-8, and followed an
earlier clash between Mr.. Truman
and the commission over the pres
idential plan to enlarge the execu-
tive offices-a project finally killed
by Congress.
"Turn About" Charged.
According to some White House
sources. President Truman was
not so much displeased over the
commission opposition to his plan
to build a balcony on the second
floor Of the south front of the
Executive Mansion. as he was to
the reputed turn about the
commission made.
These sources said that Chair
man Clarke and two unnamed
members had discussed the bal
cony project with Mr.. Truman in
July. l947. They evidenced doubt
as to its advisability but suggested
consulting William Adams Delano,
a noted architect who had done
White House work, and had served
on the commission.
The President felt that he had
the tacit approval of the commits
sion, but later on, the organiza-
ton, and Mr.. Clarke particularly,
voted against it, and opposition
started snowballing with national
interest focused on the now
famous balcony.
In Commission 18 Years.
The same sort Of uproar had
killed the executive Offices changes,
but President Truman went
through with the balcony, which
was designed to give the presiden-
tial family some breathing space
lin privacy.
Before the balcony got much use
however, the decrepit condition Of
the White House was discovered,
and the Trumans moved across
Pennsylvania avenue to the Blair
House.
Mr.. Clarke. widely known In his
field, had been on the commission
10 years.

Senate Group
May Increase
District Budget
New Bridge Funds
Moy Add to Outlay
Approved by House
By Don S. Wdrren

Solid increases in the 1851
District budget over the $112,S40,-
$40 total passed by the House are
expected to be recommended to-
day by a Senate Appropriations
subcommittee.
Two Of the biggest boosts antici-
pated are the results of legislation
enacted after the House did its
udget-making-acts authorizing
and East Capitol street bridge and
loans for water system expansion.
Some other increases also may
be recommended by the Senate
group, headed by Senator Hill,
Democrat, of Alabama.
With less than two weeks to 60
before the end of this fiscal year,
officials said efforts will be made
to get Senate approval of the
District supply bill before the end
Of this week so the measure can
be sent to conference with the
House.
One of the new proposals before
the Senate subcommittee was a
supplemental request by President
Truman. received late yesterday,
for adding 81 1,928,000 to the capital
outlay for the Washington aque-
duct.
This would be the first major
step toward a great, long-range
expansion of Washington's water
supply, filtration and distribution
systems to forestall threatened
shortages.
Such outlays were contemplated
recently when Congress passed,
and the President approved legis-
lation for water loans up to S23
million. OF the additional funds
now requested for the District
budget, $1,405,00 would be the
first Of the loans, repayment of
which would begin 10 years hence
The House had knocked out of
the District spending program an
item of more than So million for
beginning of construction of the
new Anacostia River span, but
only because, at that time, Con-
gress had not yet settled the battle
over the site. With the East Cap
itol street site now written into
law, Congress is expected to re-
store this item to the 1851 supply
bill.
At least some of the heavy slash
made by the House in the District
payments to private hospitals for
the care of the INDECENT sick may
be restored. House sums for sewer
work to prevent flooding also may
be increased.
The 1851 estimates of the Dis
trict Commissioners, sent to Con-
gress last January, called for an
outlay of more than $119 million.
The city heads already had
SlaShed many millions from the
original requests of their depart
ments.
, The House cut the Commits
sioners' requests by more than $6
with the expectation that
sizeable restorations would be
granted. if and when the bridge
and water loan issues were set
tied.
Still other sums may be added
to the 1851 total, if Congress
finally enactS some of the pending
legislation. including a five-day
work week for police and lib
eralized plan for sick leave for
teachers, two measures scheduled
to be considered late today by the
Senate District Committee.

Virginia High Court
UphoIds Legality Of
Milk Price Fixing
BY The Assoeiafed Press

RICHMOND, Va. June 20.-The
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
yesterday affirmed a Richmond
City Circuit Court decision uphold
ing the constitutionality of price
fixing for milk under the States
Milk and Cream Act of 1884.
The opinion in the milk case was
one Of 10 returned yesterday. In
others the court:
l. Reversed and dismissed a de-
cision by which the Washington 81
Old Dominion Railroad was fined
$40 for violating a coming ordi-
nance Of the City of Alexandria.
2. Upheld the State Commission
er Of Motor Vehicles in revoking
the drivers permit of a Virginia
resident as a result of a conviction
in Maryland on charge of drunk
driving.
ConstitutiOnaly Challenged.
Chief Justice Edward w. Hud-
gins wrote the opinion in the milk
case which was instituted by the
Elizabeth City County Board of
Supervisors and several organiza-
tions in the peninsula area follow
ing State Milk Commission orders
fixing the minimum prices of milk
sold in the Newport News market.
The case challenged the consti-
tutionality of the 1884 act which
created the milk commission and
defined its powers and duties.
The Supreme Courts unanimous
opinion said the question ui
whether the act violates sections
of the State and Federal consti-
tutions has been gone into sc
thoroughly in previous cases that
further discussion was unnecessary
Appellants contended the 1884
act unlawfully delegates to private
individuals the power of legisla-
ton and that: The composition
of the milk commission is in itself
a denial of the right of a fair and
unprejudiced hearing, and there
fore. denial of the due process
OF law. In addition, they argued,
there is no existing emergency
justifying "the unlawful and un-
warranted use of police power"
Rights Held Protected.
The Chief Justice took up these
points in order. and brushed them
aside. His opinion found that the
Milk and Cream Act fully pro-
tectS the rights of any one affected
by the composition and orders of
the milk commission.
Price fixing" he said, "is within
the legislative field and it is a
general legislative policy to submit
such technical problems to an ex-
perienced and informed tribunal.
The opinion reversing the Alex
andria Corporation Court in the
Washington 81 Old Dominion
Railroad case was written by
Justice Willis D. Miller. The
railroad appealed after 1t was
found guilty Of violating an Alex
andria coming ordinance by erect
ing a coal trestle on its right
Of way.
Justice Miller said the court
was lied to the inescapable con-
clusion that the evidence falls far
short of proof beyond a reason
able doubt that the right of way
has been in fact zoned."
The railroad was represented
by Attorney Hardee Chambliss.

The operators indicated that
Mr.. Lewis had not retreated from
his new contract demands which
the mine owners describe as too
excessive.
Yesterday, Mr.. Lewis tossed a
new proposal on the bargaining
table. He suggested that the mine
owners should guarantee the
miners a minimum of 200 days
work a year. If they would do
that, Mr.. Lewis said, the UNIV
would give up it's contract clause
which says the miners will work

increase, a 15-cent boost in the
welfare fund royalty" and, a
seven half instead of an
eight-hour day. The average
miner now gets $14.O5 and the
operators pay 20 cents ton into
the welfare fund on all coal pro-
duced.
Federal officials outside of the
actual bargaining warned that the
coal shortage was becoming so
serious that the Government could
not afford to wait much longer
to make a real attempt to end
the strike.
Last Saturday Judge Richmond
B.. Keech, at the Governments S
request, ordered Mr.. Lewis and

had stayed away from work all

from the court and Mr.. Lewis.

may now face contempt proceed
