ROME, January 5.-Premier Musso-
lini and Pierre Laval, foreign minister
Of France, plunged today into the
negotiations they hope will promote
friendship between their countries and
bring assurance of peace to Europe.
Laval arrived at the Palazzo Venezia
accompanied by Ambassador Charles
de Chambrun, and received the salute
of a Fascist guard drawn up before
the building.
Mussolini greeted the French ennis
sary with outstretched hands and es-
corted him to his office, where Laval
sat beside a desk piled high with
maps and documents bearing on Italo-
French relations.
A tentative draft of the agreement
the statesmen expect to approve had
been prepared, but it was known that
several important points remained to
be discussed.
GAPCTtS 1O conference.
As Laval and II Duce began their
conversations, expected to continue
into Monday afternoon, three experts
who accompanied Laval on his mission
here went into conference with Italian
ohicials at the foreign Office for dis
cussion and drafting of details of the
projected agreement.
The morning colloquy lasted two
hours, after which Laval was driven
to the Quirinal Palace for luncheon
with King Emmanuel.
During the historic visit, the first a
French foreign minister has paid
Rome since the World War, it was ex-
pected the foundations would be laid
for guarantee of Austria's inde-
pendence, an agreement by which
Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary
Italy and Austria undertake to refrain
from interference in each others in
ternal affairs, and the cooperation
of other European powers in preserv-
ing peace in the Danubian Basin.
Colonial Policy Seen.
It also was considered likely that
consideration would be given to the
conflicting colonial ambitions of the
two nations in Africa.
The parley began amid expressions
Of warm friendship between the rep
resentatives of the two nations, whose
policies in the past frequently have
been at odds.
An enthusiastic welcome was ac-
corded the French emissary from the
time he crossed the Italian border
until he received II Duce's personal
greeting and an embrace in the
French manner at the railway station
in Rome. Extraordinary precautions
were taken to protect the visitors.

HOPKINS AND |CKES
WORKPLANSREADY.
Each Awaits Word to Take
Over Presidents New
Jobs Plan.
BY the Associated Press.


The names of Harry L. Hopkins
and Harold L. Ickes figured most
prominently today in the talk about
a possible director of the most gi-
gantic job of its kind ever under
taken by a government-thet task of
providing work for 100000 persons
As President Roosevelt set his face
away from the dole" toward an an
nounced jobs-for-all campaign. both
assistants were known to have plans
ell ready for starting the work at the
word go" Speculation centered on
whether Hopkins, the relief admin
istrator, or Secretary Ickes. the public
works chief, would get the job, or
whether it might be given to board
in which each would be prominent.
Hopkins has said he has plans for
useful work that would put 100000
unemployed in jobs two weeks after
he received the order to go ahead.
Such projects include highway con-
struction. elimination of grade cross
ings, rural electrifcation and housing
All these were mentioned in the
Presidents message and in report
of the National Resources Board
which suggested 100000. 900 900
program that would extend over many
years.
Ickes, whose agency would be alb
sorbed in the new unit, also was ready
with plans. Saying he didn't un-
derstand anything about" being slated
to head the new agency. he added
1--WE handled the other one, didn't
we?"
He also expressed an emphatic be-
lief that Hopkins will continue to use
ment." Referring to the Presidents
preference for projects giving a maxi
mum amount of employment, Ickes
said soil erosion control, reforestation,
rural electrification and grade cross
ing work held highest rank.
One P. w. A. official estimated 81
900 ,000,0 900 could be spent on low-cost
housing projects, but that it would
require about two years to get this in
full swing.
Among Ickes' public works aides the
belief was expressed that he would get
the new post. They said that in
spending $1,250,000, 900 on construc-
ton projects P. w. A. had perfected
an experienced engineering and legal
staff. They indicated they would be
ready to absorb the jobleSs quickly.
Some officials indicated the wage scale
was likely to be lower than the mini
mum of 40 cents an hour which has
governed 100000, 900 man hours on
P. w. A. construction projects.
There have been protests against
the P. w. A. minimum and the 30
cent minimum on Federal work relief
projects which recently was abandoned
by Hopkins.
The President announced he desired
a scale above relief payments, but not
high enough to interfere with private
enterprises, and Ickes followed with
the remark that protests against the
Accent wage had some foundation. u
