 When the trial commenced, Mrs Latyanis, broke down and sobbed bitterly. It was thought for mo- ment that she would faint.

She was escorted to the spectators seat by her husband and counsel.
 The third witness for the state was George l.. Pritchard who said he discovered the fire at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of July 26th.

WaSnlngtOn, oct 6-(UP) - President Hoover was preparing today to go once more to the aid of financially-s Europe.
 Extension of the Hoover war debts and separations moratorium for one or two extra years ap- peared imminent.
 Resolved that further American aid is imperative both for the sake of the U. S. and other countries, MT Hoover has summoned avail able leaders of the senate and house to meet with him tonight at the White House for frank discuss sion of proposal to bring this about.
 This development came within a few hours after the United Press had revealed that the possibility of extending the moratorium was being considered by the president and his close advisors.
 Any action in this direction, it is assumed, will have linked with 1t a move also for more world disarmament. Bankers are anxious for debt cuts, but it was indicated that such suggestions are encoun- tering a degree of congressional opposition.
 Pressure from American bankers has increased rapidly. MT Hoover has canvassed the situation in a series of conferences during the last few days, and has become con- vinced that early action is desir- able.
 It is reported that he conferred secretly with New York bankers over the weekend. These talks. it is reported, were followed by a conference in New York Monday at the Federal Reserve Bank at- tended by Albert H. Wiggins. who headed the bankers committee which recently investigated Ger many's financial condition. George Whitney, partner in the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.,, and Charles E. Mitchell, president of the National City Bank of New York.
 The president is seeking now to lay the difficulties frankly before members of congress and obtain their informal approval. Tonight conference is expected to be one of the decisive events in shaping Americas part in the tangled world situation.
 Powerful clements in congress, while consenting to the one-year moratorium arranged in June, are k..own to regard with serious ques- ton any extension of this holiday unless Europe acts to reduce It's heavy armament burdens and otherwise endeavors to set its house in order. Discussing the proposed extension with some con- gressional leaders, President Hoo yer already has been told that congress never will approve furtn- CT suspension of debt payments without tangible. evidence that Europe at the same time Is acting to help herself.

takes on supreme importance be- cause of the approaching visit of Premier Laval of France. who Is the key to the European situation at the moment. Today's confer
 ,e at Paris between Laval and Lord Reading, British foreign sec- retary, is regarded as part of the effort to bolster the sagging econ- omic fabric of Europe.
 Senator Watson, republican floor leader, was summoned from Indi- ana to participate in tonight's de- Alterations, Senate. Democratic Leader Robinson, of Arkansas, also was called. John N. Garner. of Texas, house democratic leader and possible speaker of the new congress, arrived by plane yester- day. Senator Borah, repn, Idaho, one of the most important figures in the congressional situation, has been here several days. He has been consulted by President Hoover regarding possible extension of the Moratorium. Senators Reed, repn, Pa, Glass, d, I, Va. and Walsh, dem, Mont, are here. Rep Shell, rep, N. Y., is expected today.
 Before announcing the one-year holiday last June, MT Hoover ob- tained congressional assurances that this proposal would be rati- fled 500 after the new congress meets. At the time, 1t was hoped this bold step would be sufficient to put Europe on the upward path. But new complications have pre- vented the hoped-for improve. ment.
 Now with conditions growing IT ore unsatisfactory, the president grecs in another effort to throw American resources into the breach.
 Tn regard to possible extension of the debt moratorium, the con- ditions on which the United States may insist are understood to in- volve: Z
 1. Closer accord between Ger. many and France; financial assist. ance to Germany by France; abandonment by Germany of agita. ton against the Polish corridor and German insistence upon pocket battleships. steel helmet parades and other belligerent demonstrate ions which have tended to provoke bad blood.
 2. Evidence that credits extend- ed will be used in productive en- terprises and not be poured into armaments and wasteful forms of the dole.
 8. A start toward real disarm- n. holiday that will reduce bud gets and at the same time dimin. ish mutual suspicious.
