the accord with Germany dis
tinctly bright development, in
formed quarters pointed out that
precautionary measures and the ex-
tension of collaboration with Great
Britain could not be foregone.
Two Major Points.
1t was stated that the agreement
would have two major points:
l. Of11cial recognition by both
nations Of the present French-Ger-
man frontier.
2. Agreement for consultation in
case of difficulties between the two
nations rather than a resort to war.
1t was disclosed that yesterdays
exchange of greetings at Berchtes-
gaden between Reichsfuhrer Hitler
and Robert Coulondre, new French
Ambassador to Germany, marked
the reaching of an understanding
to be embodied in the new written
accord. The diplomatic speeches
contained the main points to be set
forth in writing.
Despite the Franco-German un-
derstanding, the conversations OPEN
ing today between French states
men and Mr.. Chamberlain and
Viscount Halifax were expected to
draw Britain and France still closer
together.
Informed quarters said the meet
ing, planned as second step in
European appeasement following the
peace of Munich" would be de-
voted almost entirely to strengthen
ing and co-ordinating the armies,
navies and air forces of the two
nations.
1t was understood the alliance
would be brought about through
the redrafting of the military agree
ment signed last April 20 in Lon
don.
The new accord would make in
slant military aid unconditional,
whereas the present pact gives
Britain the right to decide in case
war resulted from a German attack
on Frances Central European allies.
Mr.. Chamberlain and Viscount
Halifax were expected to arrive in
Paris by train shortly before pm.
Il pm, E. S. T0 and begin their
talks with M. Daladier and Foreign
Minister Bonnet Immediately.
Military cooperation was listed as
the primary subject for discussion
today and tomorrow. A plan for
mediation of the Spanish civil war,
the question of aiding Germany's
prosecuted Jews and the situation in
the Far East were other important
matters to be taken up.

 Members of the bar association are expected to be given first choice for seats, after the defendants, jurors, newspapermen and partic- ipating counsel have been seated. The order is, however, that no one, under any circumstances, is to be allowed to stand. After all available seats have been taken, the doors will be closed and no one admitted.
 At least two additional tables will, supplement those already in the courtroom. The two tables now in the room will be used by counsel. One other table from the office of Clerk George H. Freeman will be placed in the court for newspaper men, and another such table has been constructed by Superintendent Ira w. Stevens for that purpose. One more table may be necessary. Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch has donated table for use in the pressroom.
 100 Extra Seats
 Chairs will be placed in all empty spaces of the courtroom. It is planned to leave only a narrow aisle open, so that access to the door will be possible. The county commis- sic:iers will be asked to provide the 100 or more chairs that will be nec- eSsary.
 Eight deputy sheriffs will be as- signed to the trial, which is expect ed to be of at least three months duration.

 With reservations for the banquet closed Wednesday night and only a few single seats still available the banquet looms as one of the most successful ever conducted by the To- cal K. of c. In view of the presence of Archbishop John c. Murray of St. Paul, Minn., and Bishop Joseph E.

 In addition to the three native born bishops a fourth will be pres ent in the person of Most Rev. Fran ciS J. lief, D. D., former Ordinary of Concordia, Kansas, now resident at St. Mary's hospital. Bishop lief is a native of Connecticut, too.
 His Excelency, Governor Wilbur L. Cross. will also be among the honor guests at the head table Sum- day night when tribute is paid to Bishop Brady. It is expected that the entire diocese of Connecticut will be well represented at the dinner, many of the priests attending Bishop Brady's qualification of solemn high
