The Senate-approved 30-hour week faces an uncertain future with its fate apparently resting upon the decision of President Roosevelt and his advisers. The administration attitude will bel‘ revealed this week, probably through Secretary Perkins of the Labor Depart- ment, who was given the assignment by President Roosevelt to look over the legislation. Because of the hesitancy of the Chief { Executive and his advisers in giving immediate approval, it was believed in some quarters that modifications, at, least, will be proposed.

INEZ, Ky., April 10—An offer to halt the Mills “human sacrifice” mur- | der and conspiracy trial and place John | H. Mills, alleged slayer of his mother, Mrs. Lucinda Mills, on trial for in- sanity was made by Circuit Judge J. F. | Bailey here today, but on objection of the defense counsel the court ordered | the murder and conspiracy trial of John and six of his relatives to continue. All spectators except those who had seats were cleared from the west side of the court room by Judge Bailey, who explained it was “possibly dangerous” to permit crowds to stand on that side of the room as it was feared their weight would crush the floor. Harry D. Ramey of defense counsel stated the defense was opposed to try- ing John H. Mills on the question of his present sanity. “The case hinges not on his present condition, but on his condition at the time of the tragedy,” Ramey argued, and said the defense did not desire to make a motion for a sanity hearing. He added that two physicians who ex- amined John and declared him insane, at the present time had returned to Lexington.

Addressed td the clergymen of the council's member denominations, which include almost every major Protestant group in the country, the statement recommended that pastors give pre- marital interviews to couples contem- plating marriage and organize classes or clubs for young married persons. “Studies in unhappy marriages and the experience of family consultation institutes reveal that ignorance and maladjustment of the sex relationship appear in most cases,” the statement declared. The statement was drafted by the council's Committee on Marriage and the Home, of which Prof. Howard Chandler Robbins of New York is chairman and Dr. L. Foster Wood, for- merly of Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, is secretary. Ministers “need to engage seriously in the study of methods of personal and family adjustment,” it asserted. ‘Through classes or clubs in the church, it continued, “homes may be brought to a higher religious level and help will come in parent-child rela- tionships, marital adjustments, emo- {lunal difficulties and personality prob- ems.” ‘“Commercialization of weddings, whether by ministers or civil officials,” the statement said, “and degradation of marriage by stunt weddings, by ad- vertising for them, or by using them [TAXES 10 ADIUST U. 3.
