Jefferson and damaged a frame building adjoining the paint firm on the west. The explosion, which occurred few moments before the fire, witnesses said, rocked buildings in the immediate vicinity of the paint firm on both W. Jefferson and White Aves. Three hours later the fire had been extinguished, but its origin still was not fully determined. Police Holding Suspect Police late Sunday were holding Harry Slew, 47 years old, of 12245 Linwood on a charge of arson, after Slew had been questioned by Lieut.

George W. Smith, of the Arson Squad, at Fort Station. Slew told Smith, Matthew Mc- Nally, fire inspector, and Detec tive Edward Eggers that he had been in an alley west of the paint shot when he heard an explosion in the shop. "I dashed out of the alley and somebody yelled, 'Are you the guy who threw that Then somebody grabbed me. But I didn't have anything to do with the fire.

Captured by Couple Slew was captured bv Herman Wojewodzic, of 8557 White Ave. and Alice Walcwski, of 8558 White who held him for Patrol men Harry Walker and Nels Bcrgeson, of the Fort Station.

Jefferson Ave. Several persons in the restaurant were routed, and the interior suffered considerable water damage.

An apartment over the restau rant and an adjoining apartment over a vacant store building at 8540 W. Jefferson Ave. were damaged by smoke and flames. Samuel H. Rabin is the owner of the paint company.

m. and were answered, in all, by eight engines, seven trucks, one rescue squad car, one ambulance, three battalion chiefs and the deputy fire chief. At the height of the fire flames were visable throughout much of the Delray district, and crowd of 3,000 to 4,000 spectators jammed W. Jefferson forc ing police to detour traffic. Practically all of the Lower West Side fire apparatus responded to the blaze.

Wo injuries were reported. Damage was estimated at between $20,000 and $30,000 by Lieut. George Harmon, of the Arson Squad. Faster Calls Stomach Religion's Worst Foe PALMERTON, Oct. 16 (A.P.) A Russian Orthodox priest declared today that "man's stomach is the worst enemy of religion" and announced he would continue his fast to bring more young people to his tiny church.

The Rev. Lazar Kirichenkoff, whose only nourishment in the last 14 days; has been a morsel of communion bread and sweetened tea, said at his morning service: "The stomach is a sensual animal, and I shall show you that you do not have to obey your stomach." More than 80 persons, four times the usual number, wor shipped at the mass. Rep. Hoffman Duchess of Windsor appeared tonight to have found a worthy rival of her mettle in a contest of style. 'I he fabulously wealthy Spanish Princess Christina de Bourbon was matching her every thrust, gown for gown, fur for fur, sequin for sequin.

Experts; from whose opinion there is no appeal said that in the last few weeks both women had accumulated dazzling wardrobes which for style, cost and luxury could be matched by no other woman in the world. The former Wallia Warfield, of Baltimore, for whom Edward VIH renounced the British throne, has acquired an entire wardrobe since her return here from the Riviera. So has the slim Spanish Princess, wife of Antenor Patino, who. with a fortune from tin estimated at $500,000,000, is rated as one of the world's 10 richest men. Even traditionally blase couturiers have blinked at the cost to which the two women have gone to maintain their prominence in the world of fashion.

Four Germans Seized at Fort Found Taking Photos in Canal Zone PANAMA', Oct. 16 (A. Four Germans, including a woman were arrested by United States military police today when they were found taking photographs in the fort Randolph area of the Canal Zone" fortifications. The quartet was held in the Fort Randolph guardhouse pending an Inquiry to determine whether they will be charged with violation of the espionage act. The woman, booked as Ingeborg Gutmann, and another prisoner who gave his name as Hans Schackow, were said by military authorities to be employees of the German Hapag-Lloyd steamship line agency at Cristobal.

The other two were listed as Gisbert Gross and Edward Robert Kuhrig. Drive Up to the Gales The quartet drove to the gates of the Fort Randolph reservation this morning in Kuhrig'a automobile and told the sentry on duty that they were going to the post exchange. i i They were permitted to pass when the sentry asked whether they had a camera and received a negative reply. The sentry became suspicious after two hours and advised the sergeant on day duty to search for them. Found Making Pictures They were found making pictures of Point Galeta and were taken immediately to the guard house.

Military authorities confiscated their camera and the automobile. The films were developed today, but Fort Randolph officials de clined to disclose the results. Soldiers at the fort were believed to have told investigating authorities that they had seen the Germans taking pictures of other fortified areas besides Point Galeta. Spy-Trial Evidence Due Today NEW YORK, Oct. 16 (A.

Prevosf The problems of the Detroit Housing Commission are numerous and perplexing, but what is happening here is being duplicated ir 205 other cities of the country. These problems are due to the fact that the United States Housing Authority is completely tied up in a tangle o' red-tape. Here is an agency, created in August, 1937, as an "emergency" organization to provide employment. The Congress has appro priated for its use $800,000,000. Its, record as of Oct.

10, 1938, was made available in Washington last week to officials of local housing groups. Facts Admitted by Straus The facts this record contains were admitted by Administrator Nathan Stiaus. Here is what they revealed: 1 Fourteen months after the last legislative action was taken to create the USHA, it actually had under contract two projects one in New York City for $911,000 and another in Buffalo for Total funds advanced amounted to but $7,545,892. 2 It had been responsible for the creation of 150 additional local housing authorities, financed entirely or in part by local taxpayers. There are now 205 local authorities, but 46 had been established before Mr.

Straus appeared on the horizon. 3 The authority had committed the Government to the expenditure of $573,723,000 in 142 cities, provided the cities raised their share. 4 Actual loan contracts amounted to $202,807,000. 5 Under the caption of "pros pects," Administrator Straus listed more than 5,000 dwelling units (homes) and an average of 5,000 additional dwelling units (presumedly apartments). Called Emergency Acute The emergency was described as acute In Senate debate on the creation of the USHA, and events of the fall of 1937 proved conclusively that the expenditure of money for housing would have lessened the effect of the industrial depression.

In discussions last week, scores of local authorities criticized the tremendous bureaucracy with which Straus has surrounded himself and blamed the red tape for the failure of the program. "When are we going to shovel dirt," the local authorities demand ed. They never did get the an swer. But two weeks ago. when Mr.

Straus criticized State authorities at a Washington conference, representatives of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio and Massachusetts threatened to walk out of the conference and to carry their com plaints to Congressmen from their states. Iess Criticism Heard The session wi'Lh the local au thorities was less acrimonious last week, and Straus and his asso ciates asked the local authorities to go to their Congressmen and to do so before the new session opens in January. But this time, the local authorities are to ask for an additional $300,000,000 for the USHA which now appears to be in the classification of a per manent department. In the Capital, the Navy Department long has been repre sented as the greatest example of bureaucracy in a democratic gov ernment, but the Navy confines itself largely to Washington. The USHA promises soon to outrank the Navy, and, if Straus gets the additional $300,000,000, his budget will be greater than that of the Navy.

Responsible for 159 Agencies In addition, his organization is responsible for the 159 local authorities, scattered throughout the country and helps perpetuate the 46 in existence before the USHA appeared on the scene. Since the beginning, the USHA has been in conflict with Harold L. Ickes, public works administra tor. Please Turn to Page 2 Column Famed English Clown Hangs Self in Park PARIS, Oct. 16 (A.P.) John Stone, 80 years old, English clown famed for 30 years in both Eng land and France, hanged himself yesterday in a public park of suburban Le Vallois.

Stone returned briefly to the limelight last summer when Queen Elizabeth of England, inspecting the British hospital in Parts in the course of her state visit with King George VI, was photographed at his bedside.

Seven Mile Road and Mt. Clemens Drive and fell in flames. The bodies were charred beyond recognition. The dead were: WILLIAM STANISLAW, 33 years old, of 3001 St. Jean a pilot.

WALTER PASELK, 46, of 14419 Mayfleld a pilot and worker in the machine repair shop or the Ford Motor Co. FRANCIS BABY. 23, of 3536 Montclair Chrysler Corp, worker. ROBERT E. LEE, 26, of 1570 Dlckerson Ave.

ROBERT E. LEE, 51i, of 1570 Dickerson Ave. Sun In Eyes Blamed Paselk's plane, carrying Lee and his son, had taken off from Motor City Airport, circled to the left to go south, and was still rising; when the pilot apparently got the sun in his eyes and failed to see Stanislaw's plane as It slanted down toward near-by Harper Airport. Witnesses said Stanislaw tried to nose his plane up but could not get enough altitude to avoid the crash. The Motor City field is on the east side of Mt, Clemens Drive just past the Intersection of Seven Mile Road and the Drive, which is an extension of Harper Ave.

Between the field and Seven Mile Road is a golf driving range, where the tangled planes fell and burned. Harper airport is on the west side of Mt. Clemens Drive, south of the Seven Mile Roarl intersection. Wives See Tragedy Baby and his wife Josephine, 22, had been driven to the airport by Arthur Menden, of 10531 Mack who was a friend of Paselk. All three intended to go up with Paselk, one at a time, since the plane was small.

Baby was the first passenger. The others saw the crash. Mrs. Baby fainted. Stanislaw's wife also saw the tragedy.

Mrs. Lee had refused an invitation to fly Sunday with her husband, it was said. Stanislaw had been a pilot for 12 years and operated his own service at Harper Airport. His brother Benjamin, who lives at the same address, also witnessed the crash. Reports that someone jumped from one of the planes were termed untrue by sheriff deputies who pointed out that the speed of the tragedy at such a low altitude would not have permitted jumping.

Traffic Snarl Follows Crash Eoth planes were Taylor Cub monoplanes, low-cost cabin shipi used principally for pleasure flights. They crashed at a time when Sunday afternoon traffie was at its peak and the rush of thousands to the scene necessitated calling of all available police from the Conner and McClellan Stations to untangle the traffic snarl. The burning wreckage was extinguished by Engine Company 53 and Ladder Company 23, led by Battalion Chief frank Muir. Witnesses disagreed as to whether the planes began burning after the impact or not until they struck the earth. J.

S. Fleming, operator of a real estate office several hundred yarrt from where the planes fell, said, "I was standing in the door of my office and I saw the planes crash together. Then one of them fell and burst into flames. 'The other, also catching fire, fell a blazing wreck. The impact of the collision was so great that 1 saw splinters of wreckage scatter between 200 and 300 feet away from here the planes fell."

Japs 60 Miles from Hankow Tracks to Hongkong Reported Cut SHANGHAI, Oct. 16 (A.P.) Japanese announced tonight that their combined army and navy drive up the Yangtze River had carried within 60 miles their tri-city goal, Hankow, Hanyang and Wuchang. At the same time they reported that their South China drive on Canton, opened last Wednesday, continued unchecked. The Jap- nese forces were believed to have reached the vital Canton-Kowloon railroad in their swift push against the chief city of South China. Japanese advices from the Yangtze front described a day of furious fighting in which the invaders were reported to have occupied Shihhweiyao, on the south bank of the Yangtze, at 4 p.

m. Secondary Line rierced Japanese said that the victory enabled them to pierce the second ary line of the Hankow defenses. Southeast of smnnweiyao, along the Kiukiang-Nanchang railway, Japanese reported that they had routed 6,000 Chinese defenders of Teian, removing part of the long standing barrier to the planned ad vance on Nanchang. Dispatches from Hongkong said that communications to Canton had been suspended completely, apparently substantiating reports that the Japanese naa cut tne railroad. Further reports said that the invaders had reached the rail line 15 miles from the border of the British colony.

Police declared that Snyder, a theatrical booking agent, intercepted Alderman at the NBC studios last night and forced him go along with him to Miss Etting's honeymoon cottage at gun's point. There Snyder, before his former wife and his nineteen-year-old daughter Edith, allegedly shot twice at the young man who had succeeded him in Miss Etting's affections. One bullet took effect, the other went wild. Fights to Get Gun As Alderman fell, a terrific struggle ensued, and Miss Etting fought with her former husband for possession of a gun she kept her bedroom.

In the mad scram ble she dropped the weapon. Sny- der daughter grabbed it up and fired at her father, police said Thereat Snyder ran out into the darkness and shortly called the police from the next-door home of Wayne Morris, film star, where he awaited their coming. One investigator reported that Miss Etting also had fired at Snyder as he menaced Alderman. "I'm lucky to be alive" said Miss Etting this morning as she stood outside her blue-and-white cottage in the Hollywood Hills and examined a bullet hole in the stucco wall. She Tells of Struggle "I know he intended to kill us both.

I don't know why he didn't When I struggled with him in the bedroom trying to use my own gun there was a horrible glare in his eves that terrified me. "He wasn like a human heing at all. If it hadn't been for Edith I know he would have killer" me." Miss Etting reconstructed the nieht's exciting events in the honey moon cottage. She said she and Edith were sitting quietly waiting for Alderman' to return from the studio. They heard his key In the lock and when he walked In, she said, he was accompanied by Snyder who held a gun against Alderman's ribs.

They all went Into the music room "to talk things over," the blues singer said. Alderman sat on the piano stool and Ruth sat on a divan close by. Snyder seated himself on a chair near the door. Edith refused to sit down. Plcaae Turn to Page 2 Column 7 Jack Doyle Held on U.

S. Warrant Nabbed as He Leaves Plane in California LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16 A.P.) Jack Doyle, the "Irish Thrush," was arrested by immigration officers today as he stepped from a transcontinental plane and booked at the County Jail or illegal entry, on a telegraphic warrant from New York. The singing prizefighter expressed bewilderment at the charges, but Albert del Guercio, Immigration Service counsel, said that the warrant indicated that Doyle was accused of falsifying in formation when obtaining a visa to enter the United States. Dressed in dingy dungarees, Doyle conferred with attorneys in jail and then said: After all, I'm a fellow who has olcntv of monev.

I planned to spend money in the United States. But if they don't want me here well, I guess I can leave. An Irish subject. Doyle was divorced last year from motion-picture actress Judith Allen. Doyle flew into New York from Montreal last week and a few-nights later took one on the chin in a Manhattan night club from Elinor Troy, who said that she was engaged to him.
