Italian officers declared today that
Emperor Halle Selassie's fear of an

yesterday and today was reflected by
elaborate experiments he carried out
recently near the city.
A modern acoustical airplane de-
tective device, the Italians said, was
installed on Mount Tossa, three miles
from Dessye and smoke-screen ma
chimes were mounted near the city.
However, the Emperor was said to
have been so dissatisfied with the tests
that he ordered another encampment
built outside the city on the route to

PARIS, December 7.-Preliminaries
were laid tonight for a Franco-British
peace plan to halt the African war and
ease q tense Europe.
Emerging smiling from two and
one-half hour conference, Frances
Premier Pierre Laval and Sir Samuel
Hoare, foreign minister Of Great
Britain, announced they would draft a
basis for settlement.
French officials said tine draft would
be submitted to Premier Mussolini OF
Italy and the League Of Nations Sane
tions Committee of Eighteen as the
limit of what France and Britain con-
slider the League can accept. Thus
the responsibility for any failure in
negotiations would be shifted upon
Premier Mussolini.
Oil Ban to Await q. S. Move.
An oil embargo undoubtedly will be
voted against Italy by a League COM
mittee December II, these officials said.
but its application probably will be
held in abeyance until after the United
States Congress meets in January.
If Congress fails to take similar
action, the League then might cancel
the embargo as ineffective, it was
added.
Laval and Hoare put their heads
together after Great Britain dis
patched a new peace plea to Italy.
They had been informed that Musso-
lini was defiant Of sanctions in
speech to his Parliament today. The
two will resume their deliberations
tomorrow
The French Ambassador to Rome,
Count Charles de Chamhrun, was re-
ported to have made an appeal to
Mussolini similar to that OF Britains.

Only a brief communique was is
sued after conference tonight. 1t
said:
THE two ministers affirmed the ex-
istence Of a complete accord between
the two governments for policy OF
close collaboration.
They exchanged views and will
continue tomorrow with view to
drafting q basis which could be pro-
posed for settlement Of the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict"
In French circles it was believed
that Jesse I. Straus, the American
Ambassador to Paris, has discussed
the proposed oil embargo with Laval,
although the American embassy de-
scribed Straus' visit as merely one OF
those the Ambassador makes regularly
to keep himself informed"
Mussolinis speech left gloomy ef-

1t was reported in circles close to
the foreign office that Vittorio Cerruti,
the Italian Ambassador, had advised
Laval to disregard any harsh Ian

ties. He was said to have told the
premier that such language was in

Uttering one piercing scream, Mrs.
Frances Joring collapsed and fell, un-
conscious, on Vermont avenue last
night a few minutes after she had
been shown a plaster of paris mold
portraying five marks on the left
hand of her murdered daughter.

The mold of the teeth marks. pre-
Sumably inflicted by the murderer,
was shown Mrs. Loring by Robert W.
Hicks, Washington criminologist. dur
ing a protracted interview in his lab
oratory at 1902 Vermont avenue.
Hicks also showed Mrs. Joring grass
stained with her daughters blood and
the frayed stockings worn by the bride
elect when her body was dragged
more than a month ago-into a clump
of bushes on Saddleback Ridge, near
her home at 3110 Beach street, Mount
Rainier, Md.
Mrs. Loring had asked for an inter-
view with Hicks, and went to his lab
oratory at 8 pm. When she came out
with her husband, George A. Loring,
at 1O:30 O'Clock, a photographer start
ed to shoot" a photograph.
Mrs. Loring agreed to pose, and
stood with her husband and Hicks at
the foot of the steps while the photo
graph was taken. Then she walked to
the curb and waited while Loring was
talking with Hicks.
Suddenly and without warning, the
distraught woman threw up both arms
and screamed wildly. Then she
tainted and fell heavily, face down,
on the sidewalk.
Unconscious Minute.
Mrs. Loring remained unconscious
for about minute while her husband
struggled frantically to pull her to her
feet. Before he could get her up, she
began to recover and mumbled: I'm
all right. I'll be up in minute"
Finally, with the assistance of her
husband and bystander, she got to
her feet, entered a waiting taxicab
and was driven home.
Hicks, who accompanied Mr.. and
Mrs. Loring to their home, said he
had questioned the mother in minute
detail concerning her daughters death
during their two-and-a-half-hour in
terview. He declined to disclose the
specific questions he had asked her,
but said he would make complete
report of the interview to Lieut.. Joseph
H. Itzel of the Baltimore police de-
partment, who is conducting the in
vestigation of the murder.
Hicks said Mrs. Loring had request
ed an interview with him on three pre-
vious occasions, but that he had re-
fused to see her for fear Of impeding
