30. UP) Ninety million Russian voters, 10,000,000 more than there were three years ago, will participate In Soviet general elections to be held starting November 10 to elect delegates to the seventh, all-union Soviet congress. The 10,000,000 new voters are mostly children and youths, sons and daughters of kulaks, who are doing useful work for the Soviet union. The central executive committee Issued regulations Sunday giving them the right to vote. The youngsters have been trained by communist and labor organizations.

The bars have been let down also for many kulaks and their families, those who have demonstrated by hard work their loyalty to the Soviet union.

To the latter he addressed a quotation from Chief Justice White, who presided over the supreme court in Woodrow Wilson's administration and who said: "There Is great danger it seems to me to arise from the constant habit which prevails where anything is opposed or objected to, of referring without rhyme or reason to the constitution as means of preventing its accomplishment, thus creating the general impression that the constitution is but a barrier to progress instead of being the broad through which alone true progress may be enjoyed." For those who contend that the government has encroached to too great an extent upon the prerogatives of private business he was ready with a quotation from Ellhu Root secretary of state under Theodore Roosevelt. He described Root's words as very significant." They were: "Instead of the give and take of free Individual contract, the tremendous power of organization has combined great aggregations of capital in enormous Industrial establishments working through vast agencies 1 of commerce and employing great masses of men in movements of production and transportation and trade, so great is the mass that each individ ual concerned in them Is quite helpless by himself. The relations between the employer and the employed, between the owners of aggregated capi- i tal and the units of organized between the small producer, the small trader, the consumer, and the great transporting and manufacturing and distributing agencies, all present new questions for the solution of which the old reliance upon the free action of individual wills appear quite in adequate. And in many directions. the intervention of that organized control which we call government seems necessary to produce the same result of Justice and right conduct which obtained through the attrition of individuals before the new con ditlons arose." Approaching the problem of the NRA and of the entire relationship between employer and employe, the chief executive praised general Hugh S.

Johnson for "able and energetic leadership" in that agency's "forma' tive" stage. While industrial recovery had been retarded by strikes, he said their ex tent and severity had been far less than In any comparable period. Both sides, he added "must share the blame" for not taking full advan tage of conciliatory machinery pro vided by the government. Vigorously he denounced the view, advanced by some that the United States must be reconciled to permanent unemployment run ning into many millions. "Demoralization caused by vast un employment Is our greatest extrava gance," he said.

"Morally, it is the greatest menace to our social order. Some people try to tell me that we must make up our minds that for the future we shall permanently have mil Hons of unemployed Just as other countries have had them for over a decade. "What may be necessary for those countries is not my responsibility to determine. But as for this country. I stand or fall by my refusal to accept as a necessary condition of our fu ture a permanent army of unem' ployed." Claiming "substantial gains' in trade and industry under NRA, he said that the administration was re building the "political and economic" system on lines that are "In complete accord with the underlying principles of orderly popular government which Americans have demanded since the white man first came to these shores.

We count, in the future as in the past," he asserted, "on the driving power of individual initiative and the incentive of fair private profit, strengthened with the acceptance of those obligations to the public inter est which rest upon us all. We have the right to expect that this driving power will be given patriotically and whole-heartedly to our nation. We have passed through the for mative period of code making in the national recovery administration and have effected a reorganization of the NRA suited to the needs of the next phase, which is, in turn, a period of preparation for legislation which will determine Its permanent form. "In this recent reorganization we have recognized three distinct func tions. First, the legislative or policy making function.

Second, the administrative function of code making and revision and, third, the Judicial function, which includes enforcement, consumer complaints and the settlement of disputes between employers and employes and between one em ployer and another. "We are now prepared to move Into this second phase, on the basis of our experience in the first phase under the able and energetic leadership of General Johnson. "We shall watch carefully the work ing of this new machinery for the second phase of NRA, modifying It where it needs modification and finally making recommendations to the congress, in order that the func tions of NRA which have proved their worth may be made a part of the per manent machinery of government." Turning to the administration's critics he said that "nearly all Americans are sensible and calm people," who "do not get greatly excited," nor have their "peace of mind disturbed" "awesome pronouncements con cerning the unconstitutionality of some of our measures of recovery and relief and reform." 'We are not frightened by reaction ary lawyers or political editors," he said. "All of these cries have been heard before." DRAWS MIXED COMMENT. New York, Sept.

30. UP) Presi dent Roosevelt's "fireside" address to the nation drew mixed comment Sunday night from listeners in the financial fields and students of the economic aspects of the new deal. Wall street attention had been focused on the address the last few clays in hope that it would clarify some of the questions on which the financial district has expressed puzzlement, Queh comment as could be gathered immediately after the speech wae virtuully all "off the record," for fi 1 Tragedy at Island Is Termed a Suicide. Michael Smith, Sr, 78, caretaker at the Island, resort east of here, died instantly Sunday at 920 a. m.

on the dance floor of the place, his death being caused by a shotgun wound inside of his mouth. Coroner Francis Smith, who, with Undersheriff W. W. McKenzie, investigated the tragedy, said that there was no doubt but that Mr. Smith bad committed suicide.

No motive for the act was ascribed, but Mrs. A. W. Doyle, who heard the shot, said that he had threatened previously to take his own life. Mr.

Smith, according to Undersheriff McKenzie, 20 minutes before his death borrowed a 20-gauge shotgun from Paul Geyse, employe at the resort. The caretaker, Geyse told the undersheriff. said he wanted to go out and shoot a bird. He left the resort, but returned to the Island's main building in which is housed the dance hall and the beer bat 20 minutes later. Mr.

McKenzie said. At the building's front door, he met his son, Michael Smith, Jr. According to the facts obtained from the under-sheriff's investigation, the senior Smith said to his son: "Good-by, Mike." Then, carrying the shotgun over his shoulder, he went on into the build ing, crossed the dance floor and entered the side room where the bar is located. There, McKenzie said, he found Mrs. Doyle and Sam Oden, Island employe, cleaning glasses.

They reported that Mr. Smith told them: "Good-by. Good luck, folks. He then stepped to the dance floor at a point out of sight of the two at the bar. Oden and Mrs.

Doyle heard the shot almost immediately, they said. Undersheriff McKenzie said Sunday night he had turned the shotgun over to Gerald Smith of the Billings police department so that a check of fingerprints might be made. Michael James Smith, was widely known in Billings. He was born June 11, 1856, in Twin Lakes, and there on May 3, 1898, he married Bridget Callahan, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

P. J. Callahan. She died June 23, 1921. Seventeen years ago the Smiths came to Yellowstone county from Twin Lakes.

Mr. Smith was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic church. Surviving are Patrick, Lester, Ambrose, Michael all of Billings, and Sister Helen Delores, Great Falls, all W. Smith of Billings, a brother, and one grandchild.

The body is at Smith's funeral home pending arrangements. Gotham Socialite Starts Los Angeles To New York Flight Los Angeles, Sept. 30. (U.R) Miss Jacqueline Cochran, New York and Florida socialite, took off for New York Gunday in the plane she intends to fly in the London-to-Mel-bourne air derby next month. Miss Cochran has been here for the last week to inspect final assembly and tests of her all-metal low-wing Northrop Gamma monoplane.

It was reported the plane has a cruslng speed of 235 miles an hour and a maximum of 300. The aviatrix may be the only woman entrant in the race. She plans tp pilot the ship with Wesley Smith and Royal Leonard as navigators on the race. Smith accompanied her Sunday. Japan's earthquake zone seldom passes a day without feeling two or three slight tremors.

nancial leaders were unwilling to be quoted until they had opportunity to study the address and its implica tions. The president's proposal for an in- diistrlal truce, while the next phase of the NRA is being worked out, evoked the applause of one Wall street banker who described labor unrest and strikes as an outstanding cause of recent pessimism In the fi nancial community and hesitancy of business men in embracing upon new enterprise. Industrial peace, he said, would permit the country to make headway toward restoration of normal business. The problem of a balanced budget and monetary policies, he said, were secondary to that of ending industrial strife and could be settled satisfactorily in course of time. The president, he declared, was no position to make a declaration on monetary policies, considering uncertainty prevailing regarding stabilization of the British pound and the maintenance of the gold standard In other European countries.

Dr. Warren M. Persons, an econo mist, asserted he did not think the address, as he heard its high points, had answered major questions concerning the NRA and the new deal program which have been uppermost in the minds of industrialists. "It still leaves Industry in the dark as to Just where the NRA is going," he commented. In Wall street there has been much talk lately on a "shift to the right," in administration policies, based partly on President Roosevelt's conferences with some leading figures In industry and utterances in behalf of the profit-motive by cabinet members and other powers in the administration.

(U.R A stolid youth sat in murderers row of the Luzerne county Jail Sunday night reeking solace from a Bible. He is Robert A. Edwards, 23, young mining once the gayest Lothario of Edwardsvllle, a near-by coal mining town. Bobbie goes on trial for murder Monday. The story of the youth Is almost a repetition of Theodore Dreiser's novel "An American Tragedy." Edwards wove a triangular web about him self.

Now a Jury to decide his fate Bobbie and Freda McKechnie, 26, were neighbor sweethearts. Freda sang in the church choir and they attended festivals together. During their childhood days they often talked of marriage when they grew up. The romance, talk of Edwardsvllle, continued until Bobbie went away to a state normal school. There he met the "other girl" in the case.

A new romance budded, Edwards starting a courtship with Margaret Crain, 23, now a music teacher at East Aurora, N. Y. Bobbie and Margaret became en gaged. Meantime, Edwards was still keeping company with Freda. Freda early In July confided to Edwards that she expected to be come a mother In about five months.

She asked that their marriage plans be expedited. During the week-end of July 26 Bobble drove his small automobile to East Aurora to visit Margaret. He discussed marriage plans with her When Edwards returned home Freda demanded an answer on when they would get married. Bobble brooded over the difficulties. He invited Freda to go for a drive with, him to Harvey's lake, a near by summer resort, on the night of July 30.

It was raining and stormy, Despite the weather they went swim ming. The next day Freda's body was found on the lake shore. Edwards, according to police, made three alleged confessions that he bludgeoned Freda to death with a blackjack so he could be free to carry on his romance with Margaret. One confession told, police said, of how he borrowed a blackjack belong' ing to his father, and hid it in his bathing trunks when they entered the water. He had told Freda then, the purported confession said, that they were going to "break off" and he was going to marry Miss Crain.

Freda turned away at the sudden news and then Edwards, state police charge, slugged her to death with a blackjack, dragged her body to deeper water and abandoned it. In another alleged confession Edwards was quoted as saying Freda hit her head on a rock. To make her death appear accidental, he had an "Inspiration" and struck her with the blackjack, poUce charge. A third confession alleged that Edwards told how he planned to kill Freda, while he was driving back to Edwardsvllle from East Aurora a week previously. Edwards has been held Incommunicado.

It was reliably reported, however, that he had repudiated all three alleged confessions. Margaret Crain, who rushed to him while he was held at the Wyoming state police barracks, has been strangely silent since she left him on August 5, with a promise of "I'll stick by him to the end." The only word Edwards has received from Margaret since was the receipt of a family Bible, with marked pages. Sunday night he was reading the Bible and prison attaches said he would like to know if Miss Crain was going to attend his trial. The defense to save Edwards from the electric chair has been shrouded in mystery. Attorneys for Bobble have held numerous conferences with eminent physicians.

It was understood that one phase of the defense would be medical tes timony to show that Freda died from the shock of the Icy waters of Har-vy's lake.

SMITH'S Funeral Home ESTABLISHED IN 1896 HITLER scum (Continued From page 1.) District Attorney Foley said he knew nothing of the recovery of additional bills.

"In the event of the recovery of such bills," he added, "I believe I would be notified." As Foley sought recreation at a ball game, Hauptmann passed an unevent ful Sabbath, in his Bronx jail cell. The prisoner, closely watched to foil any attempt at suicide, ate a breakfast of coffee, bread and Jelly served in paper utensils. The warden, visit ing him shortly afterward, was re ceived in silence. At noon Hauptmann was served roast beef and mashed potatoes. He was not permitted to see visitors.

Meanwhile, nine patrolmen were on duty at the Hauptmann home in the Bronx to keep Sunday sightseers at a distance. Automobile and pedestrian traffic became heavy during the afternoon, although the crowds were smaller than last Sunday. Hauptmann underwent physical ex aminations Saturday, but his mental ity has not yet been studied by psychiatrists. The board will include one selected by Foley, one by New Jersey and one by Hauptmann's counsel. Foley remained 6ilent on his ques tioning of a mysterious woman whom he described Saturday night as a very important" witness.
