UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 22
GOVERNMENT PARTY IN SWEEPING VICTORY AT SPECIAL ELECTION
(85)
YOKOHAMA, Japan -- The most critical balloting since the granting of suffrage vindicates the course of the Seiyukai party as 13,000,000 votes are cast giving the majority of Diet seats to the government of Premier Suyoshi Inukai which advocates a strong forceful foreign policy and an embargo on gold. Minsei To, favoring the course of peace and leaning to America in world relations, is swamped under a deluge of sentiment at the polls. Hilarious demonstrations in the streets of this melting pot of the Empire greet the news of the powerful party's success.
NATION MOURNS AS NOTED BANDMASTER GOES TO FINAL REST
(83)
WASHINGTON, D. C. -- With full honors of a military funeral the remains of John Philip Sousa, famous march king, are borne to the Congressional Cemetery where the colorful service ceremony is accorded him in the last rites at his tomb. The beloved master is accompanied by dignitaries of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, paying homage to the gifted composer and conductor who succumbed suddenly to a heart attack.
RIOTERS SCATTERED BY COPS IN ANTI-FORD RED DEMONSTRATION
(98)
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Bearing placards accusing the billionaire of sinister crimes, several hundred Communists invade Broadway for a mobilized attack on the auto-manufacturer's show room. Boisterously belligerent, the protestors are welcomed by a reception committee of blue-coats armed with convincing night sticks. The first assault proves too much for the minions of the law, and reinforcements from nearby precincts arrive, to rout the reds in all directions.
NEWS PARAGRAPHS
MIAMI, Fla. -- Rail-auto makes successful run! -- Pneumatic tires inaugurate new transportation era.
(77)
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Hospital raises deserted cub! -- Prompt measures save life of 5-day-old lion waif.

WAGE EPIC FIGHT TO OVERCOME PERIL OF SNOW-LOCKED ROADS
(88)
SILVERTON, Colo. -- Cut off from the world by a record snow-fall, citizens of this community suspend all mining operations and concentrate on penetrating the tremendous drifts to obtain food and fuel. Battling across the vast wastes, ever in danger of being annihilated by mountainous avalanches as the piles break away and slide into the San Juan basin, supplies finally reach the stricken town in time to stave off starvation, after six weeks of isolation.
NEW ATTACK INFLICTS HEAVY CASUALTIES ON EVE OF TRUCE PARLEY
(246)
SHANGHAI, China -- As the League of Nations strives to bring about a peaceful termination of hostilities along the eastern front, Chapei and Kiangwan are shelled and fired again, leaving the native communities scenes of horror and desolation. Chinese military commanders reorganize the 19th Route Army just beyond the International Settlement boundary and prepare to withstand the renewed "push" by invading troops. Mobilizing their strength on land, sea, and air, the Japanese forces sweep everything before them. Dead litter the streets as refugees flee from the battle zone to the protection of the foreign flags. Vivid pictures of the vicious machinery of an oriental Mars in action.

HUGE A.E.F. ON WAY--F.D.R.
WASHINGTON, D. C.--The President's State-of-the-Union message to Congress envisions U. S. forces fighting all over the world to defeat the common enemy of world freedom. Whatever the price, Americans are willing to pay it, he declares!
AMERICA'S ANSWER!
U. S. A.--America's answer is more planes, more tanks, more guns and more shells! The great auto plants, like General Motors, are already turning out war weapons and when completely re-tooled for war production will swamp the world!
SEATTLE, WASH.--Production of Boeing Flying Fortresses is well ahead of schedule. President Roosevelt's plea for 60,000 warplanes this year finds immediate response here, and in other plane plants!
HAWAII HONORS ITS WAR HEROES
HONOLULU, T. H.--American sailors who gave their lives in the sneak Jap raid on Pearl Harbor are honored at cemetery which is to become a National Shrine. Admiral Nimitz decorates heroes who rescued Army fliers in the vast Pacific!

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 86
NAVY DAY
Uncle Sam's mighty sea forces stage a realistic "war," with broadsides from the big guns, daring dives, dog-fights, and bomb-dropping by the flying branch of the service, and other martial activities and thrills. In celebration of the day on which the entire nation pays tribute to its first line of defense, the big battle-wagons and the fighting eagles go through their most dangerous and stirring paces.
TRAINED "SCHNOZZLES" JUDGE CHEESE AROMA AT 1932 DAIRY EXHIBIT
DETROIT, Mich. -- Agriculture students from 18 different colleges meet to determine the keenest nose and taste in the U. S., a feature of the seventh annual milk products exposition. Singly and in teams of three, the undergraduate dairymen spend the day sniffing, tasting and smacking their lips. D. M. Smith of Mississippi State College wins the national crown for having the most discriminating beak in this country or Canada. The team from the same institution also wins by a nose. The latest thing in competitions. An olfactory Olympics.
SKATING ACES BATTLE IN GRUELLING 50-MILE HIGHWAY MARATHON
GREELEY, Col. -- An exciting long-distance roller-skating race, with Denver as the goal -- 56 miles over paved roads, attracts 87 contestants, including six young women. State police and motorcycle cops escort the skaters all the way and thousands line the roads or follow in autos to cheer them on. Elbert Reagan, 21 years old, of Fort Lupton, Col,. speeds to victory in 6 hours and 2 minutes, winning $75 in gold. E. L. Manogue, 42 years old, holds the lead for many miles but finally collapses, unable to stand the gaff. The girls, too, can't take it, retiring one by one. A new kind of endurance test, and another hazard for automobile tourists.
HEAVY TURKEY CROP ASSURES BIG MARKET FOR HOLIDAY BIRDS
ROSEVILLE, Cal. -- The Thanksgiving axe is being sharpened at the great gobbler ranches in this section. The best crop of "turks" in several years is in evidence, with 20-pounders the average size. The fowls rapidly are being prepared for the Eastern market, following a last-month fattening process. R. F. Fiddymant, 83-year-old turkey-raiser, boasts 5,000 of them on one farm, and promises that his shipments will provide 100,000 dinners on November 24th. A sad story for Old Man Gobble-Gobble but a cheerful and appetizing prospect for the rest of us. A wish-bone on every plate!
VINTNERS SPEED RICH WINE OUTPUT IN HOPE OF EARLY U.S. REPEAL
CHAMPAGNE, France -- It seems a far cry from the Chicago conventions to the sunny hill-sides under the Tricolor, but the grape growers are feverishly harvesting a bountiful crop and rushing the pressings, confident that the sparkling drink for which this district is famous, soon will be legally admitted into the United States again. The first picking of the season is done on the slopes of l'Hery Clos Bourin Hill, where Dom P��rignon, bottling expert of the Abbey of Hautvillers, years ago made his celebrated discovery -- the method of producing effervescent beverages. A promising sight for American connoisseurs of high grade spirits.
SPECIAL MUSIC WORLD AGOG OVER DEBUT OF NEW "BRAIN-PICTURE" ART
Universal Newsreel takes great pride in presenting the most unusual and fascinating subject ever recorded on the screen.
BERLIN, Germany -- Dr. Oskar Fischinger, noted scientist and savant, has created a development absolutely novel in the realm of sound -- music you can SEE as well as hear. Brahms' stirring Ninth Symphony rendered by a 150-piece orchestra is reproduced with a picturized fidelity that even a deaf person can recognize and enjoy. An amazing achievement, following two years of experimentation, by which mental images of melodic compositions are translated into terms of definite "solid" visual impressions.
