UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 87
SENSATIONAL ATTACK MARKS RAID ON $200,000 BOOTLEGGING PLANT
DOWNEY, Cal.--Sheriff's deputies take possession of the largest group of "stills" on the West Coast in a spectacular assault and running battle in which many shots are fired. Three prisoners are captured after a fusillade from shot-guns, rifles and sub-machine guns brings them to bay following a spirited chase through the swamps along the San Gabriel River. With a capacity of 3000 gallons a day, the find yields 500 gallons of alcohol in cans and 320,000 gallons of "uncooked" spirits. Elaborate preparations and plans precede the seizure, based on information supplied by two officers of the law who pose as "tramps" and live in a shack near the "alki" factory, which masqueraded as a tar insulator works. A vivid skirmish in the war against strong drink.

SHANGHAI, China--Traffic is paralyzed and thousands jam the streets in alarm as a spectacular ire on Nanking Road, the "Broadway" of the Orient, destroys the internationally known gold and silversmith establishment of Pao Zung. Two big department stores and the entire business section are threatened as the frightened crowds hamper the firemen and municipal police. The departure of a British garrison is delayed while the conflagration rages. Staggering losses in bullion are estimated in the treaty port's most disastrous blaze since the "war" with Japan.
COIFFURES TO MATCH BALLOTS, IS NEWEST POLITICAL TENDENCY
NEW YORK, N. Y.--Now is the time for all good women to come to the aid of their party. An enterprising hair-dresser has created special styles among which are the Hoover and Roosevelt Bobs, by which feminine voters can display their loyalty and boost for their favorite candidate. The Republican hair-cut curls over the top like an elephant's trunk. The Democratic one is more of a "budget" cut, showing the ears. Trust the girls to bring something new into politics. Better than the post-election wager lock-shearing.
CADET STEAMROLLER RIDES HEAVILY OVER ELI'S GRID HOPES, 20-0
NEW HAVEN, Conn.--The West Point football team stages a sensational come-back and administers a sound drubbing to the Yale eleven before a colorful crowd of 40,000 in the famous Blue Bowl. The bloodstirring feat of "Pick" Vidal, a substitute, in running back a punt seventy-five yards for a touchdown, is the spark that sets off the Army's heavy artillery. Tank-line charges, open warfare skirmishing, grenade-throwing with the pigskin as a missle, and other forms of infantry battle tactics bewilder the home team and make "Boola, Boola" the wail of a lost soul. Bob Parker's amazing punts are the only set-backs to the soldier juggernaut. A thrilling sports classic. with all the attendant color for which the game is noted.
HENRY FORD, IN RADIO TALK, TAKES STAND FOR PRES. HOOVER
DETROIT, Mich.--America's "antiquated" money system must be rejuvenated and a public-service method set up, as opposed to the present private-profit arrangement, is the pronouncement of the automobile manufacturer in his broadcast supporting the re-election of the Republican Presidential candidate. Congress should regain control of monetary affairs and conduct them as the river and harbors, the postal service or the weather bureau managed, he believes, and urges that the present incumbent of the White House be allowed to stay and complete his efforts towards the restoration of prosperity.

AL SMITH DISCHARGES ORATORICAL GUNS FOR GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT
NEWARK, N.J.--Record crowds turn out to greet and cheer the Happy Warrior on his first public platform appearance in behalf of the Democratic Presidential candidate. Although this State is labelled as "doubtful", the 8-mile route taken by the former New York governor from the Holland Tunnel to the Armory here resembles "old-home" week, with flares and frenzied thousands lining the streets. Fifty-five loud-speakers outside the building carry his rousing talk to 200,000 massed on all sides. A remarkable demonstration of the great leader's popularity and one of the outstanding highlights of the entire campaign.
