By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 26.—Pierre Laval, premier of Prance, and Aristide Briand, his veteran foreign minister, boarded s train for Berlin at the Gare du Nord this evening on the way to a series of conferences with the leaders of the Ger- man government. ! There was a cheering crowd to see them “off, including s delegation from Aubervilliers, the town of which the premier is mayor and which he repre- sents as a member of the Chamber of Do ong - g live Briand!" “Long live peace!” they shouted. The de) statesmen, stofling, waved their hands. Europe Awaits Outcome. Meanwhile Europe awaits with con- suming inf not unmixed with terest, anxiety, the results of the visit which may lead to a “burial of the hatchet” by two great nations which have been more ‘or less antegonistic and certainly mighty rivals for power since the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and the Great War. M. “apostle of peace,” who has been calumnisted by many of his own people for seeking a rapprochment with Germany, finds in this visit a crowning of his hopes. Worn and broken from age and hard work, he is confident there are enough peace- loving people in both Germany and Prance to realize the necessity of genuine co-operation in every line of activity. Laval Shrewd Leader. M. Laval, Prance's “laconic” states- man, who has won a name both at home and abroad as a shrewd and capable leader, will versations the freshness and optimism of comparative youth. He is 47. With France solidly, backing his ideas, he will be able to tell Chancellor Bruening and Foreign Minister Curtius that the French republic wishes sincerely to [ collaborate with its great neighbor, Germany. Both Briand and Laval are radicals in their upbringings and both have been Soclalists. They will speak the voices of the people of France—of the “man in the street,” as well as of the French government. Some Anxiety Voiced. Some anxiety has been voiced in Paris as to how Laval and Briand will be received by the people of Germany and whether or not Fascist followers of Adolf Hitler might not stage manifesta- tions against France. But - most -observers have scouted as ebsurd any fears of expressed hostility. They have pointed out that the Franco- German tion project has al- bt advanced further than officially admitted and that the conference in Berlin was likely to primote not only a good feeling between Prance and Ger- many, but also practical economic un- derstandings. 2 Premier Laval, prior to his departure defined the object of their visit as the fixation of economic relations between Prance and Germany which would be stimulated and controlled by the two governments. “If the relations of the two coun- y will be a powerful psychological factor in the creation of a general atmosphere of calm and confidence without which we cannot solve the grave problems BERLIN TAKES PRECAUTIONS.

By the Assoclated Press. FREDERICK, Md., September 26.— Frederick County, looking upon the past, had Chief Justice Hughes as her guest today for the unveiling of a bust of Roger Brooke Taney, fifth Chief Justice and author of the Dred Scott decision. Arrangements were made for the holding of the ceremonies on the steps of the county’s 166-year-old court house, where Taney stood 100 years ago and defended the action of the Gov- ernment, while he wasacting as Secre- tary of the Treasury, in withdrawing Federal deposits from the Bank of the United States. Ritchie Invited. Besides Chief Justice Hughes, Gov. |Ritchie was invited as a guest of honor, and David Winebrenner, secretary of State, was designated to preside. Ar- rangements were made to broadcast the ceremonies. |, Roger Brooke Taney was Chief Jus- tice of the United States from 1836 to 1864, receiving his appointment from President Andrew Jackson. He served as Secretary of the Treasury during a recess appointment from 1833 to 1834 and was Attorney Gereral of the United States from 1831 to 1833. Pres~ ident Jackson found in him his closest adviser. Career Was Hectic. ‘The career of Justice Taney was filled with hectic incidents. His ap- pointment as Secretary of the Treas- ury was not confirmed by the Senate because of the banking incident, and later, when Jackson named him to the Supreme Bench, the Senate again re- Jected him. His appointment as Chief Justice came after the death of Chief Justice Marshall. ‘The Dred Scott decision, a factor in precipitati the Civil War, drew much ticism. ter in life, at the age of 80, he wrote President Pierce concern- ing it, “I have abiding confidence this act of my judicial life will stand the test of time and the sober judg- ments of the country.” ‘The exercises were preceded by a re- ception to Justice Hughes in the Taney home and a luncheon. ‘The bust was executed by Joseph Urner, a son of Judge Hammond Urner of the Court of Appeals of Maryland.
