 The trial will go ahead, despite the continued absence of Enoch E. Borgnaes, accountant, who was named a party to the conspiracy in the g page bench warrant issued by Judge Inglis, May 19, at the re- quest of Special Prosecutor Hugh M, Alcorn, after the "A page grand jury report had been read in open court.

 Following the reading of the doc rment, Special Prosecutor Alcorn win call his first witness.
 May Be Rowland
 Although he has remained non- committal concerning the identity of his first witness, it has been gen. 2rally accepted that 1t will be some- cne connected with the office of Ecntroller Sherwood L. Rowland, or perhaps Rowland himself.
 James P. Purcell, chief account ant. William J. Armstrong, personal aeco 'nltsnt to Rowland; and Warren f5. Brown. state accountant have bean mentioned as possible initial testificrs.
 Technical testimony Is expected to require many weeks, and MT. Brown t eHeected to be on the stand for goodly period. Docu- rnentS, book exhibits and records which will be \ basis for the states all ationS, haze been brought to 3he county building for introduction into the trial.
 Spectators Overlooked
 Little space for spectators will be available. With 9 defendants, at least 50 witnesses, more than doz- en defense lawyers, a large state staff. and newspapermen requiring dirst preference for seats, there will be little room left in the courtroom, despite numerous change -abouts of seats and benches. No one will be allowed to stand.

 Authorities here estimated that 75,000 homes, 42 per cent of those in an earthquake area of 2,400 square miles, had been destroyed in the big earthquake Tuesday nights Harvests were ruined over much of the area. In some rich towns, the little industries which had been their life were destroyed. Relief of- ticers reported that in the case of some cities like Chillan and Cau- quenes, there was nothing to do but build completed new cities.
 The cabinet, at meeting late last night. ordered the minister of the interior to establish headuuar- ters in the devastated zone and or- ganlze committees to advise on re- construction of ruined cities, and on the action the government must take to save harvests which were intended.

The accused are Benjamin Gar gano. 46, of Il Stevens street, New Haven, Frank Lombardo. g, of 309 Washington avenue, New Haven, and James McGrath 28, of 476 Col umbus avenue, New Haven. Gargano was arrested Saturday in New Haven and returned here by Detective Lieutenants Connie Shanahan and Joseph Bendler. The other two were arrested yesterday and brought here by the same two officers. The ar- rests in New Haven were made on warrants issued by local authorities.
 The crime was similar to one com mitted in Torrington some months ago. In that case the amount involv- ed was about $2500, and the bogus checks were commercials Of TorTtng- ton Co. payroll checks.
 Each member of the trio under arrest here Is charged with four counts of forgery, but police said numerous other counts will probably be added before Wednesday.
 The checks were passed on Dec. 9, at the height of the Christmas shopping rush. They were apparent ly made from photstatic copies of genuine Clock Go. payroll checks and easily deceived scores of local merchants.
 The swindlers Init" every part of the city, and had disappeared when 1t was discovered next day that the checks were fradulent as they began to be presented at local banks for payment. Police sair that many of those victimized did not report their losses.
 In each case, the swindlers would make a small purchase and tender the purported check, averaging about s21 or $22, in payment, and get the change in cash. Some stores cashed a number of the boguJ checks.

 May End Civil War
 Tn Spain, the Nazi-supported armies of Gen. Francisco Franco are smashing toward Gerona. This week might even decide the Civil war.
 In Italy, Fascists confidently awaited Hitler's address and possibly, declaration by Premier Benito Mussolini on Wednesday, which B the 18th anniversary of the Fascist militia, or on Saturday, when the grand council meets, that would take advantage of the Fascist triumph in Spain to announce Italian demands on France In the Mediterranean.
 In Germany, there were indica- tons that Hitler would emphasize Nazl colonial aims and give support to Italy but some advisers were urging him to reply to President Roosevelt's recent message to cons gross and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's speech on Saturday night lining up the democ- raeies against any totalitarian ef- fort to rule tho world by force.
 France Is Preparing
 In France, the cabinet of Pre-. mier Edouard Daladier was report- cd considering further precautions such aS advancing more army re- serve trainin: dates as Francob ad. vance frightened the block of FaS. cist allies on three sides of France. Leftists urged q French American British move to aid the Spanish loyalists.
 In Britain, the house of commons on Tuesday-the day after Hitler's speech-for an important foreign af- fairs debate and report on Cham. berlains fruitless visit to Rome.
 The complications made the prob- lem of maintaining peace even more involved and difficult. But despite stiffening attitude of the democ- racies as the totalitarian demands strike more directly at their own iii. terests there has arisen no factor that cannot be peacefully solved.
 Let Italians Decide
 Tn the Nazi eastward expansion there hsa been Q definite tencencS on the part of Great Britain ane France to let the nations directly In. yolved meet the problem. 0ermany's colonial demands are regarded more as c threat at present to gain other ends.
 In the Mediterranean, Mussoliai has yet to make any formal dc. mands. The totalitarian method Is to thunder threats in order to win concessions that are iinportan but not quite important enough to cause the big demnracies to fight.

 The extent to which he can win iitler's support as q military threat and his skill in deciding how much he can get out of Britain ana rance without war are the chief problems for Mussolini. @

aliStS faced q task that might nave awed a Napoleon.
 At least they had stopped. Their rear guards already had begun to fight against the Moroccan army corps of the Insurgents, now some 9 miles north and northeast of Bar celona. Another Nationalist army, impeded only by the difficulty of the mountainous country, was marching eastward along a long front paral. Tel with, and only IS miles west of, the Barcelona Vich Ripoll Puig- cerda highway.
 This army intended to cut the highway along front extending all the way from Barcelona to the French frontier, south to north and, in cooperation with the Mor. oceans who were moving northward, to squeeze the Loyalists into France or into the sea.
 The new Loylaist line was formed along the front Vich-Santa Coloma de Farnes-San Teliu de Quixoles, extending roughly eastward from the Barcelona -Puigcerda road to the Mediterranean.
 Nationalists Keep On
 The Nationalists were IS miles to the south of this line. As they started out today the Moroccans who were coming north, had taken Gram oilers, La Garriga, Santa Eulalia de Ronsana, Cardedeu, Villa del Valles and Arenys de Mar and thus were on line about 22 miles north of Barcelona.
 On the west, the separate army driving toward the Barcelona -Puig- cerda highway was along a line ex- tending from north to south. On the north it was Berga, only l9 miles south of the French frontier.
 Running approximately IS to 20 miles west of the highway, the front followed the course of the Llobregat river Puig, Novas and Balsaremy.
 But already, advance guards had left the river and were only 10 miles west of the Barcelona Puigcerda highway in the neighborhood of Santa Mario de Olo.
 This new army thus threatened to flank the Loyalists on the west, and force a new retreat northeast ward toward the frontier and the sea.
 Loyalists Are Fighting
 Nationalists, admitting that the Loyalists were again fighting flercely asserted that units of the Inorna- tionla Brigade, which stopped them at Madrid, had been reincorporated in the Loyalist army and was form ing its rear guard. It had been know at at least 5000 of these men, oi, the way northward to be repatri- ated, had been caught In the Loy- alist retreat and were clamoring to be rearmed and admitted to the fight.
 Dispatches from the Loyal!st side said that the streams of refugees were slowing down and becoming more orderly. that Loyalist police- men were again in control of traffic and that the highways would be passable for motor traffic--which had been impossible for days-by tonight at the latest.
 Official Loyalist dispatches, ad. mitting that the Loyalist army had become disorganized after the fall of Barcelona because of the irre- sistible pressure of women and children refugees, said that the army command realized that immediate resistance was impossible and SC had ordered a general mass retreat
