R. I, Fall River and New Bedford, Mass-, and other industrial cities. He speaks in Worcester, Mass., tonight. Part of the tour developed . into a wild motor race when local candidates battled for places of pref erence In the presidential cavalcade. Providence, R. I., Oct. 21 J president Roosevelt told a huge crowd fronting the state capitol to day that the American people were "more important than machines" and the "material resources o! America should serve the human resources of America." In opening his New England cam paign, the president also Declared the American people should not be allowed again "to be regimented by selfish minorities into bankruptcies and bread lines," and that the 1920 type of prosperity should be avoided. The kind of prosperity sought, he said, was that which would assure every American family safety of home, old age, savings and employ ment. Mentioning the constitution at the outset of his brief speech, the president said he was standing on the steps of the capitol of a state "so independent that It did not rat ify the constitution of the United States until two years after It wao in effect " The president spoke from an open ear resting on a stone landing. The crowd gave him a noisy welcome as he arrived and was introduced by Governor Theodore P. Green. Governor James M. Curley of V Massachusetts also stood nearby. The president spoke in part as follows: "I am standing on the steps of the capitol of a state so independ ent that it did not ratify the con stitution of the United Slates until two years after it was in effect. Around me lies the most highly in dustrial and densely populated state In the country. "I could speak to no people who better understand the independence of modern economic life. "I have said that what the pres ent national administration has tried to do was to adjust state-craft to reality the reality of 48 states which have agreed to live together In a machine age. "When this administration came to Washington March 4. 1933. -the machine of our national economy had completely broken down. For 12 years It had been neglected by those who believed that machines did not need tending. We tried to rebuild that machine, to modernize it and to turn on the purchasing power. :It was the biggest peace time Job ever attempted. It called for energy In a hundred directions at once, for .magination, for willingness to face facts. "Because, it was a modern ma chine it needed money in circula tion to get it going and keep it go ing. Therefore, wc had to obtain purchasing power for the farmer, work for the unemployed, loans to industry, safety and courage for banks. "How much did we spend? Enough to get results enough to be sure not to fail. There would have been no second chance if we had failed once. "You and I are used to venturing capital to gain profits. And in these three and a half years our venture has succeeded. "Prosperity measured in dollars is coming back. There are none among you to deny It. But there Is a high er measure for prosperity the mea sure of permanency the measure of security. "We seek not the prosperity of 1929 but the kind which will mean to every American family an assur ance of safety of the home, safetv of old age. safety of savings, safety d employment." r Speeding through Massachusetts by motor in a bid for 17 electoral votes. President Roosevelt paused by Fall River and told an outdoor crowd In South Park of administra tion efforts to bring back pros perity. s So dense was the throng and so uncontrolled, that newspapermen In the party were unable to get wlth ing 100 yards of the platform. It was the president's second speech of the day. The drive to Fall River from Pro vidence was the wildest of the whole campaign. Instead of an orderly single line of traffic there were four lanes of speeding cars about 150 of them. Brakes shrieked as drivers weaved In and out, crossing from lane to lane in an effort to "get up front" near the president. In Fall River, men and women and children pressed up to the running boards of the official cars and some climbed on. A number of people were hurt, and children, terrified or Injured in the crush, were crying loudly at different points along the way. A huge bouquet of red roses was funded to the pnvMent as his rwr "Farther and Faster On a Gallon of Gasoline Than Any Car in America" Will Be Here Soon PUBLIC BRINGS AUTO CHANGES "The most successful automobile designs are those which incorporate the greatest number of features de sirable to the public. Public taste progresses just as rapidly as the automobile itself." states H. Murray Northrup, chief engineer of the Hud son Motor Car company. "Automobile engineering design progresses along many lines," states Northrup. "Some of these are very obvious and easy to follow, others are far from obvious until the time they burst forth upon the public in fully developed form. Just for ex ample, in 1834 we brought out a car In which the spare tire was concealed within the lines of the body. For sometime past we had felt that this was a tendency, but the public up to that time was not ready for the change. Since the introduction of the 1934 Hudsons with concealed tires, the industry generally has gone to that particular form of body. Now the rear compartment has been fur ther developed, not only to include the tire, but liberal baggage space. "We realized that the trend tow&rd complete steel bodies had been grow ing for some time and when, in 1935, we completed the steel structure by the use of a solid steel top, we knew we had taken a step which would soon become the general procedure of the industry, because it was in the line of safety and public demand." . . . ? . .

Fall River, Mass., Oct, 21 Pj Three children suffered fractured arms, and scores were jostled heie today when a huge crowd greeting President Roosevelt at South Park broke through ropes as the presi dential party arrived. The three children, each 12 years old, and treated at a hospital here, were: William Ferreira. Estrella Pachecho, and Eugene Michanaski, Jr. The crowd was held back by ropes before the president's party arrived, but as the motorcade appeared hun dreds broke through, trampling and bruising scores. A section of a tem porary grandstand collapsed, injur ing others. Little Estrella was hurt in the collapse of the stand. Young Fer reira fell from a roof of a park building, and the Michaaaski boy was pushed or fell from a tree.

P.S. That's business, too! In this vein did H. M- Baker, dis trict manager of The B. F. Goodrich company, reminisce last week in ob serving his 23rd anniversary with The B. F. Goodrich company and, incidentally, his 25th year as a foot ball fan. Before joining the tire company, Baker was a football coach in Ohio. He still is football minded. In the past 25 years, serving The B. F. Goodrich company in New England during the Haughton regime at Har vard, in Minneapolis during Coach "Doc" William's days, in California during the rule of Andy Smith, "Pop" Warner, Howard Jones, and in Akron where four great stadiums are in range of 125 miles, Mr. Baker has had ample opportunity to indulge his hobby. He never missed a key game wherever he was, and never let a season go by without scouting some big games for his football Cronies back east. He is familiar with the brand of football taught by all the famous coaches. Branch Rickey, head of the St. Louis Cardinals, and L. W. St. John, athletic director of Ohio State, arc Baker's former football tutors. It is for the latter he scouts big games when they fall in his terri toryor in range of his vacation which, oddly, always comes during football season.

(By Auocltted Pre) Great Britain, France, and 13 Latin -American nations moved in diplomatic concert today to save thousands of Spanish non-combatants from death in besieged Madrid. In two hemispheres, there were these humanitarian efforts as fas cist armies closed in on the Spanish capital from the south and west: 1. Great Britain ordered its navy to stand by for a "mission of mer cy" to rescue hostages held by both sides in the war. Estimating there were 8.000 of these hostages in Mad rid alone, the British government pressed both the Madrid govern ment and the fascist authorities for the exchange and evacuation of the women prisoners, in particular. 2, Carlos Saavedra Lamas, the Argentine foreign minister, confer red secretly with Premier Leon Blum of France in Paris on the pos sibility of rescuing endangered per sons by plane, while refugees told of spreading Spanish anarchy and violent reaction to it. 3. Thirteen Latin-American states, from Mexico to Argentina, decided to ask Madrid in simultaneous notes to recognise the principle of asylum to save hundreds of rightists now refuged in Latin-American lega tions in the Spanish capital. Meanwhile Soviet Russia was rep resented by informed Moscow sour ces as determined to force a supply of aid to the friendly Madrid gov ernment, determined that only the immediate dispatch of munitions can save Madrid. Fascists at Illescas. south of the capital, apparently beat off a gov ernment counter-attack. Re in formed by a wild civilian "army" from Madrid, socialist troops battled desperately on a 10 mile front today to halt the sweep of fascist legions towards the cap ital. 20 miles distant. The fresh "white collar" forces- store clerks and mechanics, young and old lunged into the raging conflict with the shrill "To arms exhortations of Madrid womenfolk still ringing in their ears. "So far, we have halted the rebel advance on Madrid," exulted Gen Jose Asensio, socialist commander. The government line, ranging southeast from Illescas to the Mad-rid-AranJuez highway near Sesena, withstood a flailing insurgent bom bardment and countered with dead ly attacks on fascist positions at Azana, Pantoja, La Alameda and Anover de Tajo on the Tagus river, Gen. Asensio predicted the fall of Illescas, captured by Insurgents Sunday, was "imminent." Squadrons of fascist bombing planes droned over the battle area. raining death amid the sernea ranks of socialist attackers and wrecking the railroad station at Cas tillejos. 10 miles west of Aranjuel.

(Associated Prras Photo) DEALER BACK FROM FACTORY Declaring that the new De Solo plant in Detroit, just completd at the cost of millions of dollars, is a model of efficient and modern man ufacturing methods, H. T. Irving of W. L. Anderson, Inc., dealer for Dc Soto in Salem, was enthusiastic about prospects for 1937 and about the new car, soon to be announced, when he returned from a two-day inspection trip to the Motor City. Mr. Irving was one of 3,000 deal ers from all parts of the United States who were invited to Detroit by L. G. Peed, vice president for the De Soto division of Chrysler Corpor ation, to get first-hand knowledge of workings of this new plant and to have a preview of the new car. "The gigantic presses Installed in the press plant unit of this new De Soto layout give graphic evidence of the volume production job that our company has in the cards for 1937," Mr. Irving stated. "The buildings are so arranged that there is no lost motion from the time materials are unloaded from railroad freight cars until finished cars roll off the end of the assembly line. "This is the first time in the his tory of the company that De Soto has had a plant all lis own. With its new and modern plant in perfect working order, De Soto is ready for a sharp upturn In sales In 1937, even greater than the substantial gains made In 1836 over the previous year, OREGON INCOME . TAXES $3,175,000 Receipts from personal Income, intangibles and corporate excise taxes for this year reached $3,175, 000, 'Earl Fisher, member of the stale tax commission, reported to day.

On his ride through Los Angeles In the afternoon, after an enthus iastic reception In Pasadena, the re publican nominee stirred a ripple of handclaps and cries of welcome. but near the civic center loud boos were heard as the republican mo torcade passed by. At a tunnel pro ject, a number of WPA workmen ut tered jeers. In the coliseum, the Kansas gov ernor's speech brought frequent cheers and applause from the vast throng, drowning out the boos of scattered hecklers. Landon contended the present ad ministration, "when the crisis was over." Instead of giving up "its ex traordinary powers," asked for more and "seemed obsessed with the idea that It had a mandate to direct and control American business, Ameri can agriculture, and American life." Landon continued that the ad ministration "resented any criticism" and "cracked the whip on those In dividuals who refused to be led like sheep." "And when the supreme court de clared its methods unconstitutional, the administration actually tried to bring the supreme court Into disre pute and even the president Joined in this undermining attack." "The president predicted disaster if his plans were held unconstitu tional. They were held unconstitu tional. Now. he claims credit for the Improvement that followed. He says we planned It that way.'
