EKPECT RESERVED DECISION IN BIG SUIT
President Hoover Thinks Moratorium
 Must Be Continued
That Is the Counsel He Is Expected to Present to the Presidsnt-EIect, When They Confer on Debt Problem

velt's telegram as his train paused a moment last night at Hutchinson, Kansas. Lawrence Richey, tho presidents executive secretary, said the New York governor had accepted the invitation to come to the White House for Q talk with Mfr Hoover, but that ''the date isn't definite and will have to be set on our return to Washing ton"
 President Hoover received Gov Rooseveit's telegram accepting the proposal for a White House con- ference on war debts, with appar- ent satisfaction.
 This was revealed in the scanty report of Lawrence Richey, the chief executives secretary, on the delivery of the message.
 A great sheaf of telegrams com mending Mr Hoover on his pro- posal for the conference and vari- ous subjects has accumulated on the secretary's desk.
 Among the telegrams was Gov Roosevelt's.
 Mr Hoover was at dinner last night when the train paused a moment at Hutchinson, Kan, Ri- chey chose this time to deliver tho messages.
 He told newspaper men the president thumbed through the messages, got the import of the president-elect's acceptance and apparently was satisfied"
 There will be absolutely noth- ing to say until we get back to Washington" Richey assured the press.
 aMr Hoover had no comment to make"
 Richey said the date fo rthe con- ference still was to be agreed up- on. and probably would be set within a day or two"
 The United Press understood Mir Hoover expected Gov Roosevelt to come to Washington at a very early date, possibly before the end of the week, but 1t was believed doubtful the prcsident-elect, would be able to reach Washington be- fore Monday or Tuesday.
 The president feels that his rnor- atorium declared a year ago last June saved Europe from further financial chaos and reacted to the benefit of America by maintaining, in Q measure at least, foreign mar kets and thus keeping industry from falling off to even a greater extent than in the present depres- sion.
 The presidential special ran into wintry weather as 1t came through Kansas and into Missouri and Mir and Mrs Hoover stood on the rear platform bundled warmly in heavy clothing against the cold north- ern wind.
 The presidents reception on the return journey has been uniformly enthusiastic, and perhaps more 50 than on the way to California. The chief executive has been heartened by the warmth of the greetings from crowds everywhere, lessening the bitterness of his defeat.

 The chief executive may be ox- pected to offer that counsel to President-elect Roosevelt when they confer in the White House on the war debts and allied problems.
 He feels, 1t is understood, that with such powerful leadership as that of Great Britain and France, the entire group of debtor na- tions will seek to obtain reductions or cancellation of their debts 10 this government and that the best way out for the moment will be to continue the moratorium while these delicate negotiations are un- der way.
