‘FRANCE WILL KEEP FAITH,' AVERS LAVAL Premier Lands at Le Havre to Be Greeted by Huge Holiday Crowd. BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent . LE HAVRE, France, Nov. 2. Premier Pierre Laval returned toc ’’m the United States, voicing his confidence that “France will keep the faith” on plans for international collaboration discussed at Washington. He announced his plans to arrange an international conference on reparations revision early in December. Hailed by a blare of bands and shouts of a crowd that cheered him as a conquering hero, Laval landed on French soil with the knowledge that he had upheld firmly the policies of his govenment abroad. "The conversations in Washington accomplished more than I had hoped for,' 1 Laval said as he landed at the flag-bedecked quay where a crowd on holiday because of Memorial day and All Saints day had gathered in the bright sunshine. France Will Keep Faith “Primarily the conversations resulted in mutual agreement for consultation before political action in the future. This will permit France liberal action in Europe. “I want to assure Americans that France will keep the faith. I personally will invite parliament to take the initiative possibly 1 in audacious measures for rapprochment with Germany, and in other steps to rehabilitate Europe. President Hoover stressed, and I agree, that recovery depends on helping Germany to get on her feet. “France is willing to go far. She asks only the loyal efforts of Germany. If it is decided that the reparations burden is too great, France is willing to converse in an effort to reduce all inter-govern-mental debts fall inter-government-al debts include war debts owed the United States), but I must stress that France and Belgium must be paid in full for the material damages of the war. Must Judge Own Security “France also must be allowed to judge her own security requirements.” The lie de France had a rough crossing from New York, but the weather was bright and clear as it put into Le Havre with the premier’s party, including his daughter, Mile. Jose, who has become the most discussed young woman of France as a result of her trip to the United States. The premier appeared happy to be home and was refreshed by his ocean voyage after a strenuous visit in Washington and New York, but he obviously was eager to board the special train and speed to Paris. There he will report immediately to President Paul Doumer and his cabinet. On Tuesday he will talk with Edouard Herriot, and other political leaders and parliamentary committees. He also will acquaint the German and British ambassadors with the results of his journey. Jury Tampering Punished By United Press PRINCETON, Ind., Nov. 2.—Wilbur Jenkins and William Griffin, convicted of attempting to bribe jurymen, are each under sentence to the penal farm for thirty days with fines of $25.

MILLIONAIRE IS SLAIN IN AUTO WITHOWN GUN Body of Milwaukeean Is Found Seated at Wheel of Car; Hitch-Hiker Sought. By United Press MAUSTON, Wis., Nov. 2.—An eighty-mile-an-hour ride with an assassin pointing a gun at his head was reconstructed by authorities as they prepared evidence for the inquest today into the death of Philip A. Koehring, millionaire Milwaukeean. Koehring, a bullet in his head and his rifle across his lap, was found in the driver’s seat of his car which had careened off a main Wisconsin highway near here and into a field. While investigators studied the death scene and searched for any possible clew, posses patroled the roads in this vicinity seeking the hitch-hiker who is believed to have been the assassin. Though the bullet was fired by Koehring’s own rifle, medical authorities said it would have been impossible for the wound to have been self-inflicted. Evidence indicated, authorities said,' that the 55-year-old manufacturer raced his car madly down the highway in hope of escaping death at the hand of a companion he had befriended by giving a ride. They recalled the similar murder near here only last month by a “hitch-hiker” of Alfred ‘Marshall, prominent New Lisbon (Wis.) resident. Koehring, who twice had been president of the Milwaukee Association of Commerce, was head of the $10,000,000 National Equipment

Police later found deep tracks along the highway and through the pasture for several hundred yards.
