Speaking from the east lawn of the City Hall to thousands of persons jammed around a flag-ornamented platform, the President expressed a belief that the people of America on Nov 3 would ask for continuance of the "present type of government" in preference to one that "put dollars above human rights." In the heart of the country's vast automotive industrial district he asserted 1936 promises to be the second largest year of automobile production in history, but added that the industry, and every other industry, still needs improvements in relationship with employees. "Must Increase" Wages "It is my belief," he said, "that the manufacturers of automobiles and the manufacturers of many other necessary commodities must, by planning, do far more than they have done to date to increase the yearly earnings of those who work for them." The crowd that spread over the broad square in front of the hall to hear the President was estimated by Donald S. Leonard, Michigan state police captain, at 175,000 persons.

fprring early in his address to the problem of relief, Mr Roosevelt argued that relief and work relief provided by Federal funds "saved American humanity, and saved also the solvency of cities and states in every part of the nation." The Chief Executive came to Detroit after an all-day stumping trip of southern Michigan cities, which traced in reverse much of yesterday's political trail of Gov Alf M. Landon of Kansas, his Republican opponent. The President said he could not accept the conclusion of "many Republican leaders that major depressions are inevitable." And tO a Republican leadership which ran the Government frcm 1921 to 1933 he attributed a "major catastrophe." Hits Automotive Pay Rate On the question of automotive certain steps already had been taken toward spreading woric more evenly through the year and toward raising the yearly pay envelope in Detroit and other centers of the industry from $600 or $700 a year to more than $1000. But he said these steps were not enough and then asserted manu- Roosevelt Continued on Page 6 KansanMakes lOSpeeches as He Speeds Homeward ABOARD LANDON SPECIAL EN ROUTE TO TOPEKA, Oct 15 (A P) Gov Alf M. Landon told Illinois farmers tonight that President Roosevelt was "giving lip service to our system of free enterprise" while Administration spokesmen "are insidiously attacking the doctrine of home rule and of an independent judiciary." "They would make of Congress merely a body to ratify the arbitrary actions of a one-man super Government," the Presidential nominee told Danville and Decatur audiences as he rolled homeward after a seven-stop campaign through Indiana.

The Governor apparently pointed his talks directly at Mr Roosevelt's Chicago speech last night. "If Mr Roosevelt really is sincere in his desire to preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States," Landon asserted- from his rear platform, let him in no uncertain terms repudiate those who speak for his Administration. Let him also repudiate his 'horse and buggy' interview in which heprophesied disaster if industry was permit- Landon Continued on Page 25 URDER TRAIL HAS NEW TURN Chemists' Reports Held Confidential by Police Dewing Says One Witness Gave Valuable Aid in Case Unable at Jhe moment to make public important angle" that has been uncovered, detectives seeking the solution to the Grayce Asquith murder were working last night along a new line of investigation as a result of reports emerging from the laboratory of police chemists.

The Sea Scout boat Commodore Clark of Chelsea, in command of Vice Commodore Wesley L. Slade, spotted the Curtis off Fish Pier with its searchlight and shot at her with a Lyle gun, putting a line over the Curtis with the first shot. At the same time the Clark signaled the other nine defense boats by lighting a red flare. Other Craft Respond Another group of defense boats from off the East Boston waterfront and two groups of defense boats stationed off the Navy Yard saw the signal and sped across the harbor to join the "fight." Every one of the defense boats succeeded in firing one or more lines across the Curtis until Lieut Commander John Ritchie, the judge on- the Curtis, pronounced her riddled to pieces. The Curtis began its bombing raid on the wharf at the Navy Yard at 11:30 o'clock from a position in the outer harbor off Deer Island Light.

Her intentions were to bomb the Navy Yard Pief and then a dry dock.

Plans call for elimination of the present Arlington-st subway exit, removal of tracks along Boylston st and Huntington av and beauti-fication of the entire section through Copley sq, as advocated by architectural societies for many years.

The tube will run under Exeter st, under the tracks of the Boston Albany Railroad at Huntington av and Stuart st, swing under Huntington av and emerge on Huntington av, opposite the Mech anic's Building at West Newton st.

The Federal Government will pay $1,175,835 of the total cost and the city will spend $539,227 for super- i vision and equipment. The submis sion for the project was signed oy Mayor Mansfield on July 6. Word was received last night by Col Sullivan that the President and tha Comptroller General have approved and countersigned the application. Work will being as soon' as the project shall have been approved by Gov Curley, the State Emergency Finance Board, the Department cf Public Utilities and the trustees of the Elevated. Directors of the Elevated have already signified approval and the project sponsored by the Transit Commission has the backing of the Metropolitan and Boston Planning Boards, Col Sullivan said.

Authority for such work was granted by Act 366 of the 1333 Legislature. Expected to Take One Year The maximum number cf men to be employed at any one time is estimated at 1633. One year will be required to complete the work according to present indications. Emerging at an incline on Huntington av, the new subway will eliminate all crossing of street cars at Arlington. Berkeley, Clarendon, Dartmouth Exeter, Irvington and Garrison sts and will leave a clear stretch from Charles st out, which can be developed and beautified.

This was the opinion stated last night by one of the attorneys, Theodore P.

Hollis, a member of the volunteer corps of Republican attorneys, at the conclusion of a hearing before the Election Commission yesterday which resulted in the commission ordering summonses sent to the 30 voters. Saw Cards in Other Cities Attorney Hollis said that the Elec tion Commission denied him access to the signature cards at City Hall on the grounds that the cards contained confidential information such as place and date of birth and that, while the election rolls are public records, the signature cards themselves not open for public inspection. He said that he had already secured access to the, signature cards in other cities in this state and declared that the Supreme Court would Registration Continued on Page 20 THE WEATHER Forecast for Boston and Vicinity: Friday and Saturday mostly cloudy with little change in temperatureand gentle to moderate southerly winds.

The beautiful American friend of King Edward VIII is suing her ship broker husband on charges of misconduct, the only grounds for divorce in England.

He announced he will not contest the action. Her suit will be heard at Ipswich, one of the provincial assize centers, on a date to be set Saturday. Justice Hawke to Preside Justice Hawke, who will preside, will arrive Saturday at Norwich to hold court there for a week before moving to Ipswich for the Autumn assizes.

P) The French Foreign Office tonight drafted a note to Belgium asking whether King Leopold's "neutrality" speech presaged Belgian abandonment of the Franco-Belgian military accord.

The note asked answers to four direct questions: 1. What was Belgium's attitude toward Franco-Belgian military pacts? 2. What was Belgium's attitude toward the Locarno Treaty? 3. What was Belgium's attitude toward future conferences of the Locarno Powers? (Belgium, Italy, Germany, France and Great Britain.) 4. What would be Belgium's probable future relations with the League of Nations? Blum Calls Conferences Decision to draft the note followed conferences between Premier Leon Blum, Foreign Minister Yvonne Delbos and Camille Chau-temps, Minister of State and leader of -the Radical-Socialist group in the Popular Front Government.

French Foreign Office circles tonight saw "another moral blow" to the peace structure of Europe in Leopold's speech against military aid to another power. 'The King's speech," said a high French official, "may be the beginning of a concerted movement by small nations who claim armed protection without having to bear any burden themselves."

Competent authorities consulted here see in King Edward's stubborn resistance to all pressure against his friendship for Mrs Simpson a possibility that Great Britain's next queen will be the daughter of a Baltimore boarding house proprietor.
