Attorney Tried on Double Charge Norfolk, Jan. 7. m-The trial of Carroll L. Lee, Portsmouth attorney, on a charge of concealing assets of a client in a bankruptcy case and two charges of perjury, was recessed this afternoon until tomorrow in federal district court with the defendant attorney on the stand. David Ward Lawrence, the bankrupt, formerly of Craddock and now a resident of Georgia, entered a plea of nolo contendere to an indictment for allegedly concealing assets, but Judge Luther B.

Way deferred action' on the plea, until later. Mason E. Lee, brother of the attorney, who also faces a criminal charge resulting from the bankruptcy, will be tried at the conclusion of the current trial. The attorney Is charged specifically with receiving and withholding from the trustee in Lawrence's bankruptcy certain fixtures from the store; with perjury In telling the referee under oath that Lawrence had no equity In the fixtures, and with perjury again In stating that he held a note on the fixtures. The government ended its presentation of evidence late in the afternoon after introducing testimony by Menalcus Lankford, ref eree in bankruptcy; Sidney H.

Kel- sey, trustee in Lawrences bankruptcy Charles Harper, Portsmouth city-manager; Lawrence, and others. City Manager. Harper was brought Into the ca.se as the holder of an original $1,500 note on the fixtures in Lawrence's store which had been reduoed to $500 early last yewx. He TILLIE THE TOILER Washington, Jan. 7.

Washington saw a crisis approaching today in President Roosevelt's persistent conflict wim the supreme court." Seeking the court's answer to his call for a more liberal interpretation of the constitution, many looked forward to a forthcoming deci sion on the validity of the Wagner labor relations act. Moreover, Mr. Roosevelt, was believed in some capital hill quarters to be withholding recommendations for new legislation on hours, wages, and business practices until the court' has spoken on the related problems of the Wagner law. Should a majority of the court rule that act drawn up since NRA was outlawed to be unconsitutlon- al, the result, many thought, would be to crystallize the controversy in to action on the part of the admin titration. Means must be found," the Pre' sldent said yesterday in his message to congress, "to draft our legal forms and our Judicial interpretation- to the actual present national needs of the largest progressive democracy in the modern world.

With congress In recess today. many members long Interested in labor legislation expressed the opinion that the times seemed more propitious than ever for such action. And they readily fell in with the President's view that such ob jectives can be reached without amending the constitution. Meanwhile, the neutrality reso lution remained impaled upon a technical snag, motionless until tomorrow when, -with the senate In session, Vice-President Oamer will have authority to sign it and send it on to the White House. It was rushed through yesterday In futile effort to halt a shipment of airplanes to the Spanish Loyalists.

But by the time the house had approved, the senate had recessed until tomorrow, and lacking special permission. Gamer can sign bills only when the senate is In sesslno. Administration leaders took ad vantage of today's day off to map a partial program for the early days of the session. Three bills are to be pushed through this month. Major ity Leader Robinson announced.

They will extend the treasury's monetary and stabilization- lowers and the life of the reconstruction finance corporation for two and a half years. Fairly Definite Ideas The President was said on good authority to have "some fairly definite" ideas on wage, hour, and business practice legislation, with the administration of labor provisions and of regulations on competitive practices separated, as indicated in nis message yesterday. "For example," he said, speaking for NRA, "it was unwise to expect the same agency to regulate the length of working hours, minimum wages, child labor, and collective bargaining on the one hand and the complicated questions of unfair trade practices and business controls on the other." While the President was keeping silent on his plans, general speculation was that whatever is done to regulate the latter would be" given to the supervision of the federal trade commission, with some other agency, possibly of a quasi-judicial nature in charge of the labor provisions. The Wagner act was enacted to protect employes In their right to organize for purposes of collective bargaining, and to outlaw company unions. It will be argued before the court next month, with a deci slon expected some time in March.

All Testimony in Suit Expected to Be Heard by Noon (Continued from Page 1, Column 3) Juries to hei. An amendment to the original notice of motion fur ther asserts that the truck driver was traveling on the left (south east) side of the highway, The exact scene of the accident was almost In front of the home of Mrs. Nancy Ruth Buckner, Just south of the Church of the Good Shepherd. It understood that one suit in stituted by a passenger In Mi.se Greene's car has already been heard testified that Lawrence came in and paid the note in full last Feb. 13.

Lawrence told the Jury he paid his own money for this note; that Lee spoke "falsely" when he said the bankrupt had no equity in the fixtures, and that Lee spoke "falsely when he said he held a mortgage on the fixtures. On the stand only a short while before court adjourned for the day, Lee testified that after" Lawrence bought the note from Harper, Lawrence came to him and wanted $300. On March 7, the attorney said, he borrowed the $300 from Lawrence and took the note in (Continued from Page 1, Column 2) motor department with 12,000 employees at Flint, Mich, and its small parts plant employing 2,3 (X) at Bay City, Mien, tonight.

General Sung Chek-Yuan, chairman of the Hopei.Chahar political council, assumed personal charge of the campaign'' and sent raiding; squads through Peiping's noisome lanes.

Informed sources eaid the captives probably would be executed by shooting on Friday, but city officials were silent. Today's action was the first tak en thus far in Pel ping to give ef fect to the government's edict to narcotics users, "be cured by New Year's or die!" It was, however, admittedly a small beginning, for official est! mates have placed the total of users of opium or other narcotics in Peiping alone at 100.000. Persons close to General Sung, highest ranking official in North China, represented him as Inclin ed to be lenient toward addicts who express willingness to undergo treatment.
