tim was found Monday.
A Federal agent said tests had
shown the substance staining the
chain was human blood, but refused to

Charles blood. State Patrol Chief

car were also human blood.
The automobile, stolen last Friday

left parked on another Everett street
sometime Sunday night, remained In

machine to police said what appeared
to be bloody handkerchief was lying
on the fender, and pile of clothes
stained with something that looked
like blood, was in the tonneau. Ont
tire chain was with the pile of clothes
and another beside the drivers seat

PARIS, January 14.-France agreed
today to meet Germany half way on
the question of an economic agree
ment.
Informed persons said the Socialist
government had agreed to open
economic negotiations with the Nazi
third Reich without demanding. first,
q series of German political pledges
That decision hurdled the main
stumbling block to the proposed trade
accord by which France hopes to re-
turn Germany to Western European
collaboration.
The Germans have insisted that
economic negotiations come first; q
political settlement later.
Premier Leon Blum has determined
to meet Germany half way and will
announce a modified plan January "a
before a Peoples Front meeting at
Lyon.
The French press, in part, considered
the changed position so outstanding as
to make it unnecessary to emphasize
the importance of this event in world
politics"
Other portions of the press gloomily
observed that, when q conditional ad-
vantage was granted Germany, the
condition usually was lost in the end.
Trade Treaty Objective.
A Franco-German economic treaty
providing a new and simplified clear
ing system was reported to the be the
first objective Of the negotiations to
stimulate commercial exchange.
"a Berlin communique yesterday
stated of1icially experts already were
negotiating for an economic accord.)
France was considered generally to
be seeking every means Of holding a
friendly Germany from isolation by
easing the Reich's economic stress.
