 Silent On Bishop
 President Roosevelt and his sec- retarieS were silent concerning the significance of a brief conference ht had last night with Bishop Michae J. Gallagher, the ecclesiastical Su- perior of Father Charles E. Cough lin.
 Honestly" said Secretary Marvin H. Mcintyre, T do not know what they talked about"
 Detroit police estimated that S0,- 900 persons heard MT. Roosevelt's E speech in Cadillac Square in Detroit last night, and other estimates ran as high as 150,000. The square was black with a crowd that overflowed into intersectnig streets, that hung from the windows and roofs of ho- tels and office buildings. With the exception of the crowd that greeted MT. Roosevelt in Chicago, it was the largest of his current campaign trip.
 Speaks To Labor
 Speaking to what observers con- sidered predominantly labor audi ence, MT. Roosevelt pledged new gains for labor from the New Deal.
 He said:
 Detroit today s very different city from what it was three years ago, and while the wheels of indus try turn fast and unemployment is very greatly decreased, there are many problems not yet solved. I do not accept the conclusoin of many republican leaders that major de- pressions are inevitable in modern life. It is not enough that we have ended the days of 1882 when work CTS in this city received for their labor as low as five or six dollars for two weeks work. It is not enough that we have saved many homes and put thousands of people to work. I believe that it is the duty of government to bend every effort to prevent another major ca tastrophe such as that which hit this country as result of the re- publican leadership which ran goX- ernment from 1921 to 1933."
 Auto Industry View
 He said that the automobile in- dustry had paid a high hourly rate. but, due to lay-offs, the annual wage was very small. He said he had stressed to manufacturer the neces- sity of spreading the work in order to increase the annual wage and that steps had been taken to obtain that result.
 Again he said that the New Deal had saved the country and had solved the depression. He said that relief and work relief through the use of federal funds saved American humanity and that his administra- ton hda restored the national pur- chasing power.
 Tt is my belief that the people of Detroit," he continued, like the people of the rest of the country, are going to ask on November third that the present type of government continue rather than the type of government which in its heart still believes in the policy of laissez faire and the kind of individualism which up to only three and half years ago frankly put dollars above hu- man rights.
 "When the smoke and dust of this political campaign clear away on the night of November third, his- tory will record that the outstand- ing issue of the campaign was this shall the social and economic se- curity and betterment of the masses of the American people be main tained and strengthened or not? l am not afraid of the verdict. It will be yes".,
