MORATORIUM EXTENSION IS
 TO BE ASKED
France Reported to Have Made Overtures to
 U. 5. Government

NEW YORK, Jan. 19. = France has made overtures for extension of the Hoover moratorium on in- tergovernmsntal debts in a semi official note and in diplomatic feeler sent to Washington.
 The note, it is claimed, said the British and French governments favored renewal of the moratorium on payments due Germany for six months or year from next July when it otherwise expires. The extension could be worked out by financial experts.
 The American Government in turn would be asked to give Euro pean creditors of Germany, who are creditors of the United States, moratorium on their war debts for the same period
 Reliable quarters in London earl fer denied overtures will be made to America for a possible extension of the moratorium, but indicated the World Preparations Conference at Lausanne would consider ex- tending the moratorium for six months. The conference at Lau- same, originally dated for yester- day, was postponed until next Mon- day.
 France suggested postponement of the conference until after the elections in the United States, Ger many and France, this year.

A sharp eye might have detected the bulge of a gun worn under his coat, high over his left hip and far back.

NEW EVIDENCE IS INTRODUCED
 F0SHAY TRIAL
Government Claims Offic- ials Paid Themselves
 Substantial Bonuses

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 19.- The Government yesterday in the second trial on mail fraud charges, claimed that w. B. Foshay and H. H. Henley voted themselves sub- stantial bonuses while in control of the Foshay utility enterprises prior to their collapse.
 Marie Hannon, former employee, said Foshay was paid $15l,0 ,010 dur ing the two years and ten months before the receivership. Henley was paid $75,680 salary for the same period.
 The Government charged that some of the bonuses, the amounts of which were not disclosed, were voted shortly before November, 1929.
 The dedication of the 32-story tower erected by the Foshay enter prises for headquarters, three months before the collapse of the firms, cost $125,0OO, Evelyn John son, former bookkeeper testified today. She said the expense was listed as deferred assets" instead of liability, on the books.

Liquor Control Proposal Falls Flat at Anti
 Saloon Meeting

WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. 19.-- Startled delegates to the Anti Saloon League Convention here weighed with surprise the sugges- tion made by Gov. William H. Murray, of Oklahoma, that more satisfactory form of liquor control might be substituted for the exist ing Prohibition.
 T got started off wrong and I could never get back, I kept a close watch on that crowd and knew they were not in sympathy with my views. The mentality of that crowd was not what I ex- pected," said Gov. Murray follow ing his address.
 The Oklahoma Governor was ap- parently correct in his surmise for there was very little applause when he finished.

 Memory stirred at the sight of the familiar corner. He had been in several bad gun fights in this town, and the scene of one of them lay before him. The warmth and inti- macy of old pleasant associations suffered chill.
 He left the station, giving a wide berth to the street corner that had clouded his happy reflections. But he had not walked half block before he came to another saloon, the familiar look of which and the barely decipherable name-Happy Days acted like a blow in his face. He quickened his step, then react ing to his characteristic spirit, he deliberately turned back to enter the saloon. The same place, the same bar, stained mirrors, and faded paintings, the same pool tables. Except for a barkeeper, the room was deserted. Rock asked for drink.

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana, Jan. 19.-Friends and enemies of Gov. Huey P. Long are saying it with votes in Louisiana's Democratic primary.

 Five men seek to succeed Gov. Long. The Democratic nomination means election.
 Candidates include Earl Long, brother of the Governor, on a straight i-Administration ticket. He has bitterly criticised his brother.

By THEODORE DUESTERBERG (Chief of the German Steel Hell
 metS)
 MAGDEBURG, Germany, Jan. 19. For 12 years replete with humili- ations, the German people have been suffering from the dictated Treaty of Versailles.
 Besides losing territory, her fleet her property abroad, and her col sUnies, Germany was robbed of some of her most important sovereign rights, including that of determin- ing her own defense.
 The small, insignificant Reisch- wehr, without modern equipment, lacking reserves, unsupported by an armaments industry. and devoid of Qualifications, is hardly adequate even to protect the German from tier, let alon to conduct war.
 For 12 years German boys have entered upon life without military training.
 Says Arms Increased
 Contrary to the clear text of the League of Nations constitution and of the Treaty of Versailles, both of which bind all signatories, the former enemy powers have not re- duced their armaments but actual ly have increased them. There are ten million more trained soldiers in the world today than in 1914.
 According to the League of Na- tions bylaws, a general census of the armaments of all members is to be taken every ten years. The extremely important conference, at which this census is to be discussed will be held in Geneva in Febru- ary.
 Attempts at postponement have failed. The various nations are winding up their preparations for it.
 It behooves us to inform world opinion concerning our status and our demands.
 We know that Article 53 of the draft convention of December g, 1880, is intended expressly to ex- clude Germany and her former al- lies from the general disarmament covenant that is to be agreed upon in Geneva.
 In other words, without a sign of justice Germany is again to be outraged, as in 1919
 The German government declared bith in November, 1880, and in January, 1881, that Germany does not consider herself legally bound or obligated by the draft conven- tion.

 Characterizing the present sys- tenn of leases for fox ranches on islands in Alaskan waters is con- trary to all American principles of government, Frank H. Foster urged the Chamber to get behind a meas- ure recently introduced by Dele- gate James Wickersham extending the homestead laws to such lands. This measure was introduced by the Delegate on December 8, and referred to the Committee on Pub lie Lnads of the House of Repre- sentatives.
 It provides that any person quail flied to enter homestead on pulp lie lands and who has held lease with the Government for fur farm- ing on the mainland or on the isl- ands within Territorial waters of Alaska, and who has resided upon
