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.

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.

TIRE CHIEFTAIN
FOOTBALL FAN
"When you can sit in the stands,
close your eyes and hear those play
ers come together boys, that's foot
ball!" 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.

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."

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,

Fisher estimated that an addi
