COAST GUARD SPEEDS TO RESCUE VICTIMS OF NEW FLOOD PERIL
(143)
GREENWOOD, Miss. -- Thousands of families trapped by rushing waters overflowing the dikes of the Tallahatchie and Yazoo Rivers are brought relief by a fleet of powerful motorboats from Wisconsin and Chicago stations of the Service. The leaking levees strand cattle and home-owners in the inundated regions of the Tippo Basin.

RAILWAY CREWS DEFY BIG SNOWS IN FURIOUS RIGHT-OF-WAY BATTLE
(92)
CUMBRES, Col. -- Through the deep gorges of the Rocky Mountain passes, the huge plows hum, cut their way into the heavy snow. A 23-foot fall leaves drifts of more than 40 feet in many places, and the heavy duty machines bore into the blocked passages, tossing the piled-up snow as far as 300 feet from the tracks, finally bringing daylight to the completely engulfed village. Transcontinental traffic is eventually resumed after the intrepid engineers clear the way over the mountainous ranges.
SUDS FLOW AGAIN AS U.S. RENEWS WAR ON GANGSTER BEER KINGS
(69)
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Led by Deputy Prohibition Administrator Elliott Ness, the raiders demolish a brewery said to belong to the chain operated by Al Capone.

Illicit beverages valued, according to those in charge, in excess of $80,000, are totally destroyed.
MODERN CITY RAZED TO UNCOVER RUINS OF ANCIENT METROPOLIS
(93)
HERCULANEUM, Italy -- The town of Resina is destroyed so that the old capital may be restored. Buried under the fury of Mt. Vesuvius in the 79 A.D. eruption which obliterated Pompeii, this city of antiquity gave way to the modern centre, erected on the lava discharged by the volcano. Laborers have been working since 1925 on the rebirth of this forgotten city, and these are among the first pictures permitted of the huge project, which lays bare a hint of the ancient splendor that was Rome.

PRES. RUBIO RESIGNS; RODRIGUEZ SELECTED AS REPUBLIC'S RULER
MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Impressive scenes mark the changing of the nation's Chief Executive. Surrounded by his loyal Cabinet and admirers, Pascual Ortiz Rubio relinquishes the reins of office at the Chapultapec Castle. The opening session of the 35th Congress then chooses the Minister of War, General Abelardo L. Rodriguez to succeed him, and, after the solemn oath of office, the new President appears in front of the building where he is hailed by the crowds and saluted by the cadets of the Mexican West Point, his official escort and guard of honor. A stirring event, and one of great importance in Latin-American history, in view of Senor Rodriguez' first state message, his assurance of continued close friendship between Mexico and the United States.

ENTIRE POPULACE OF ANCIENT CITY HONORS 12th CENTURY MARTYR
AQUILA, Italy -- With a pomp and pageantry that shames modern ceremonials, the coronation of Pope Celestino V, which transpired in 1294 A.D. at the Church of Collemaggio, is re-enacted in complete detail by local nobles and commoners. Magnificent medieval costumes, "Kings" and "Queens" with their retinues and the majesty of the "Papal delegation," make this scene a never-to-be-forgotten reminder of a colorful and glorious period of history.
SALOON ELIMINATED BY "TIP-LESS WAITER," INVENTOR PROPHESIES
WORCESTER, Mass. -- In preparation for the day when, and if, beer may be legalized, an astute hotel manager invents and demonstrates a novel serving device by which foaming glasses of beverage are lifted, by a concealed elevator, from cool cellars right up to the middle of the table in front of thirsty patrons. The new apparatus is supposed to do away with the brass rail and the importunities of the old-time bartender. But no provision is made for the patron who wants to discuss the weather, the latest political rumor and the "old lady's" latest eccentricities.
SHULTZ SMASHES ALL RECORDS TO CAPTURE HILL CLASSIC
PIKES PEAK, Col. -- At break-neck speed, up the twists and hair-pin turns of the famous mountain road, Glen Shultz of Colorado Springs forces his special hill-climbing car over the twelve-mile course in 16 minutes and 37 seconds to win the Penrose Trophy in the fourteenth annual running of this race. Thousands of spectators dot the mountain-side to witness the racers skid on the brink of eternity at the sharp bends in the route. Shultz is six times winner in this most spectacular American auto event.

The Queen Mother Marie of Roumania, Archduchess Margaretta, the baby's aunt who acted as god-mother, ex-Queen Elizabeth of Greece, Archduke Theodore and Prince Edward of Parma also take part in the ceremony. An interesting and intimate view of the youngest Hapsburg and his royal relatives.

The pick of the range and the round-up engage in astounding feats of broncho-busting, steer-wrestling and trick riding. A super-spectacle of equestrian prowess.

FERRY BLOWN TO BITS AS BOILER EXPLOSION KILLS 41, INJURES 63
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Filled to the rails with workmen being ferried across the East River to a construction job near the western end of Long Island Sound, the former excursion steamer Observation is shattered to splinters by an engine-room blast that hurls wreckage and bodies for 200 yards, in the worst harbor holocaust since the General Slocum disaster in 1904. Only the fact that the accident occurs near shore, thus filling the water with debris from the splintered boat to which injured and drowning men can cling, prevents the death toll from mounting to unspeakable heights. Divers and grapplers work in 24-hour shifts to recover the victims, while wrecking craft salvage the fragments of the ill-fated vessel from the river's muddy bottom. An appalling catastrophe that promises to cause an upheaval in local shipping circles.
ASTRONOMY SAVANTS FILM HEAVENS WITH NEW COLOSSAL LENS
SIDMOUTH, England -- Astounding pictures of celestial bodies are possible with the great camera turret just installed in the Norman Lockyer Observatory at Salcombe Regis in South Devon. It is a veritable astronomical robot, that can be set to turn with minute exactitude to follow any star for any length of time. Remarkable views of the Great Bear and of the Orion nebula are obtained by an exposure of five hours, while the elusive Pleiades, and the moon, herself, are accurately caught on the photographic plate with a 23-hour time shot. Another marvel in man's march along the highroad of Science.
RACKETEERS IN PANIC OVER SLOT-MACHINE CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN
BROOKLYN, N. Y. -- In a determined drive against nickel-in-the-slot gambling machines, 10,000 of which have sprung up in drug-stores and other public places and which find a large patronage among the younger generation, the police are confiscating and destroying the plague of crooked devices that have mushroomed up throughout the state. They are carted in by the truck-load, as a corps of strong-armed coppers, with sledge-hammers, make junk out of the shiny $125 mechanical thieves. The opening of school and the fact that so many children carry money for milk and lunches, prompts the authorities to take drastic means of ridding the community of these catch-coin lotteries. An impressive demonstration of police vigilance.
FIND HIDDEN LAIR OF AIR PIONEER'S SECRET AFTER 25-YEAR SEARCH
GRASS VALLEY, Cal. -- A real, modern-type, stream-lined cabin monoplane, designed before Prof. Langley and the Wright brothers made their epochal experiments in mechanical flight more than a quarter of a century ago, is discovered in a locked hangar high in the Sierras, where two aged inventors, Lyman and Charles Gilmore, have closely guarded their "flying machine" for almost three decades. Finally persuaded to display their invention, which the Patent Office scoffed at as absurd in 1898, the bearded brothers dust off the ancient craft and disclose its remarkable resemblance to present-day air liners. An amazing page out of the early history of aviation just brought to light.
THE TIDE TURNS
Production swing pursues upward course as industry continues renewed labor turn-over
PART VII
PANAMA CITY, Fla. -- Leading manufacturer of kraft paper products goes on a 24-hour basis with 2000 employees as better business in this country and abroad demands more material for paper cartons, furniture wrappings and paper bags.
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Big knitting mill increases its pay-roll by 40 percent and runs day and night to meet growing orders for women's underwear and sweaters rushed from department stores in all sections.
COLUMBUS, O. -- An outstanding oil-cloth plant speeds up and hires additional workers as the call for coated fabrics for table cloths, wall coverings and sign cloth necessitates a capacity of 81 miles of finished product a day.
DETROIT, Mich. -- A great automobile factory puts hundreds on a full-time basis as the result of a jump of 40 percent in August sales; a striking indication that American families are finally junking their old cars and loosening the purse-strings.
RECORD ATTENDANCE MARKS RE-OPENING OF NATION'S SCHOOLS
The nation's biggest business, the education of Young America, gets off to a running start as 31,000,000 children and young people start to school for the Fall term. With vacation joys reluctantly forsaken, but with shiny shoes and shining faces, plaits and new hair ribbons or new knickers -- as the case may be -- the youngsters troop back as 1,500,000 teachers welcome their new charges. A falling birth-rate takes a small toll in the beginners' classes, but the high schools get an overflow, because of the economic situation, with many post-graduate students, while the back-to-the-farm movement swells the rolls in rural schools. The annual pilgrimage of Youth to the fount of knowledge.
REGIME OF VON PAPEN CRUMBLING; PREMIER DEFIED BY HITLERITES
BERLIN, Germany -- A sudden and surprising coalition of the Nazis and the Reds at the opening of the Reichstag precipitates the long expected flare-up against the Von Hindenburg government. Hectic scenes mark the latest turn of political affairs in the Reich as the Chancellor, now discredited along with other ministers of the aged war lord, is faced with possible reliance upon the machine guns and bayonets of the Reichswehr and the Steel-helmets to preserve the Vaterland's present status. His words to the assembled statesmen are an ominous augury of coming events. A world-rocking episode and a crisis in the history of the great Teutonic nation.

THOUSANDS ACCLAIM HOOVER; 2500 MARCH IN FARM RELIEF DEMAND
DES MOINES, Ia. -- The President, in his first public speech for re-election, cheers the horde of Republicans jammed in the Coliseum with a 12-point program for agricultural relief, on the heels of an anti-Hoover demonstration through the streets by Farmers Holiday picketeers and their sympathizers. More than 100,000 line the pavements to welcome the nation's Chief Executive on his arrival. The presidential party, in triumphant auto procession, is greeted by flag-waving and the din of partisan cheering. Anti-administration banners and slogans are flaunted through the same thoroughfares earlier in the day embittered produce raisers. A remarkable example of the strange contrasts in the present American scene.
AMAZING ENGINEERING FEAT RAISES GIGANTIC MUSSOLINI MONOLITH
ROME, Italy -- After three years of effort, Carrara marble quarry workers have carved out a monster block, almost three meters square and 18 meters long, which is erected with great difficulty in the new athletic stadium as a tribute to Il Duce. Sliding it from a spot 800 meters up in the Apuan Mountains, into a boat and by way of the Tiber to the capital, is only the beginning of the job. Specially constructed ramps and hydraulic jacks are necessary to elevate the huge obelisk to its final resting place. A remarkable example of human ingenuity, unparalleled in the history of physical science.
"SEA-TRAINS," BUILT BY FEDERAL LOAN, UNDER QUIZ BY GOVERNMENT
HOBOKEN, N. J. -- An innovation in Eastern seaboard maritime facilities, a ship that transports a fully loaded. 100-car freight train, is ready for operation between this port and Havana, Cuba. By means of specially constructed "elevator cranes" box cars are lifted from their tracks and let down into the hold of the craft, where they are run off the elevator onto special rails and clamped securely into place for the ocean voyage. At Havana, they are to be similarly lifted out and placed right on dock sidings, thus eliminating trucking, lighterage and other handling. Opposition lines are out to prevent the boats from making coast-wise stops and the Interstate Commerce Commission has ordered an investigation. It's the latest thing in salt-water transportation, destined, perhaps, to mark a new era in shipping. In case of war the odd vessels can be used for carrying railway artillery or airplanes.

STATE WAGES STARFISH WAR
WAREHAM, Mass. -- A bounty of 35 cents a bushel on the marine pests which have almost put the scallop fishing industry out of business results in the elimination of 11,000 bushels, or about 5 million of the destructive sea-stars from local waters -- and queerly enough, the fishermen find there is more money in this work than in regular bi-valve digging.
NAVY BALLOON VICTOR OVER WORLD'S BEST IN INTERNATIONAL RACES
BASEL, Switzerland -- Sixteen gas-bags from eight different countries compete in the 20th James Gordon Bennett Cup contest, as thousands cheer the late afternoon take-off. Lieut. Commander T. G. W. Settle and Lieut. Wilfred Bushnell in the U.S. Navy entrant, last year's winner, rise into the blue to float 921 miles over several frontiers for a landing more than 36 hours later near the Polish-Latvian border, almost a hundred miles farther than their nearest competitor. Another American aeronaut, Goodyear No. 8, carrying the veteran balloonist W. T. Van Orman, and R. J. Blair, is second, covering 830 miles, and outdistancing contestants from France, Poland, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Thrilling scenes of the oldest and most picturesque aviation classic.
POLICE ARMY CALLED AS BARGAIN HUNTERS RIOT AT DOLLAR $ALE
BROOKLYN, N. Y. -- Thousands of girls and women, drawn by an unusually low cut-rate sale of coats and dresses, jam the main thoroughfare in front of a large department store, stopping traffic, crushing against the plate glass windows until they are shattered, and precipitating a mob rush that necessitates a hurry call for fifty mounted and dismounted patrolmen to quell the disorder. The flood of eager purchasers presses into the store in a column six wide, defying all attempts by the officers of the law to regulate their movements. An amazing scene of feminine determination and shopping frenzy, as the house-wives and others, some with babes in arms, battle the blue-coats in a rough and tumble struggle.

20,000 UNEMPLOYED LED BY REDS IN MONSTER RELIEF CUT PROTEST
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Singing Communist songs, shouting slogans and flaunting banners calling for gratuities to the jobless as well as various radical "demands," a determined horde of men, women and children stages a "hunger march" through Loop, tying up traffic for an hour and giving the city its first taste of organized and exploited discontent. Converging from three directions, despite a steady rain, the marchers push the police aside and carry their pleas to Mayor Cermak at City Hall, thereafter assembling in Grant Park for a mass meeting. Instigated as a demonstration against the impending reduction in municipal support of the needy, the movement falls into the hands of anti-government agitators and winds up with ominous threats and a call for recruits for the proposed hike of a new Idle Army to Washington in December.
ROYAL SWEETHEARTS WED AMID SCENES OF POMP AND SPLENDOR
COBURG, Germany -- With all the elaborate ceremonials that featured the old Hohenzollern regime, the first regal marriage held in the Vaterland since the beginning of the Republic, unites Prince Gustaf Adolf Oscar, eldest son of the Crown Prince of Sweden, and Princess Sibyll of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, daughter of Duke Karl Eduard and Princess Victoria Adelaide of Schleswig-Holstein-Glucksburg. Simple civil rites in the 300-year-old Hunting Room of her father's Castle are followed by impressive nuptials at St. Moritz Church before the most brilliant throng of royalty and nobility assembled this side of the Rhine since the World War.

56-MILE GALE RAZES RESORT DWELLINGS
BROAD CHANNEL, N. Y. -- The worst wind and rain storm in this section in more than 40 years demolishes bungalows, garages and other buildings, washing some of them into Jamaica Bay and leaving the popular summer colony a mass of wreckage. Described as a regular "Kansas twister," the cyclonic disturbance would have cost scores of lives but for the fact that many houses were closed for the season. Several families, their homes lifted from pilings and dumped into the water, are rescued as they float out with the tide.
BOY GENIUS PERFECTS AMAZING MINIATURES
HOLLYWOOD, Cal. -- Remarkable models of steam locomotives, on a scale of 1/48, but which are complete in every detail and can haul a 2000-pound load, the equal of 15 man-power, are made and sold by Kenneth Dewar, 20 years old. He draws the plans, makes his own patterns and castings and does the assembling and testing. He started at the age of 14, and has marketed 15 in the last three years, at about $1,200 each. Big business from a little hobby.
SEEK PROSPERITY WITH FIREWORKS
AMECAMECA, Mexico -- The surest way to frighten off the evils of depression and insure the return of happy days, according to local tradition, is to tie a lot of real firecrackers to a lot of artificial bulls and then dance for all you're worth. Inasmuch as today is San Lucas day and the bull is the saint's favorite animal they decided to combine the two and ask for Old Man Prosperity to come back in the ceremony known as "burning the bull." They might do it. THROWING the bull won't, that's a cinch.
RECLAIMS FORTUNE FROM OLD FLOORING
BOSTON, Mass. -- The very dirt under your feet is valuable when you walk around in a jewelry shop. So much gold dust and small bits of the precious metal fall and are trampled into the floor that it pays, every now and then, to tear up the boards and recover the wastage. Maurice G. Alperin, a sweep smelter, gets as high as $5,000 worth of bullion from a single store. The wood is burned in a special stove and the ashes and floor sweepings are reduced in a crucible. What's left is gold alloy or pure gold. At $20.60 a troy ounce, it's a business. It looks simple, too, to see Maurice do it.
WOOD-PAVED STREET RIPPED UP BY NEEDY AS FUEL FOR WINTER
CHICAGO, Ill. -- It's a great thing when poor people get a break. The municipal authorities, deciding to put modern paving on Blue Island Avenue, notify the unemployed and hard-pressed residents of the neighborhood that the old oil-soaked blocks with which the thoroughfare's been covered for years, are to be had for the taking. With picks, crowbars, chisels and other tools, men, women and children rush to gather burning material for the cold weather. Regardless of traffic, they dig, pry and gather in tons of first-rate fire-wood. The city gets the old road-way taken out gratis and those in need get a supply of "coal" for the coming months. An odd turn of affairs that helps everyone concerned.
ARMY AIRMEN ENGAGE IN THRILLING BOMBING COMBAT FOR CHARITY
LONG BEACH, Cal. -- Squadrons of bombers swooping down and raining explosives on defenseless "villages," swarms of pursuit planes darting in winged assault on the ships of the bombarding force, "dog-fights," airobatics, and other exciting activities of warfare in the skies are demonstrated, before a huge crowd at the municipal airport by pilots from March Field, for the benefit of the needy. Power dives at 250 miles an hour and similar feats are among the breath-takers performed by the nation's crack bird-men. A remarkable "show" of military flying progress.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame football machine, in "high" again, rides roughshod over Northwestern, its historic rival. Ramblers ring up a touchdown in the first minute of play by that infrequent marvel of the game -- a run-back to the goal from kick-off, with Melinkovich electrifying the 42,000 rooters by 98-yard dash.
BULLDOG AND TIGER BATTLE TO 7-7 TIE
PRINCETON, N. J. -- Ancient gridiron foes fight to a draw before 45,000 noisy rooters. For three periods, battle is on even terms, then Bob Lassiter of Yale uncorks a 37-yard heave that sends the Blue stands crazy and paves the way for a score. Princeton, halted time and time again almost at the goal line after terrific drives, takes the air in final minutes of play. Three thrilling throws -- the last a bullet pass from Kadlic to Ken Fairman -- do the trick and Old Nassau deadlocks the struggle.

FAMED ELEPHANT INN HAS GOLDEN JUBILEE
MARGATE CITY, N. J. -- Fifty years is not an advanced age for the average pachyderm, but for a tin one that has been buffeted by South Jersey shore front gales, it's quite a long time. Constructed in 1882 as a beach resort novelty, it still attracts tourists by land and by sea. "Jumbo" is 65 feet high, 38 feet long and 80 feet around the middle. It can be seen for eight miles. A six-room apartment is included in the mammoth body and the howdah is large enough for a dance floor.
DUPED HUNGER ARMY DISBANDS ON PLEDGE OF GOVERNMENT AID
LONDON, England -- Spurred on by Communist organizers, idle Britishers congregated here make one more attempt at mass demonstration, this time at the base of Nelson's statue in Trafalgar Square. Despite the assembling of several thousand unemployed and fiery speeches by Red agitators, the "bobbies" keep the situation well in hand and quickly frustrate an attempt to move on Parliament. A few minor brushes between the blue-coats and the marchers result in a score of injured and a number of arrests, but the majority break ranks and leave for their homes, assured of help from the public purse at an early date, thereby ending Britain's worst labor threat in a decade.
NEW WORLD'S RECORD CREATED IN THRILLING CORN-HUSKING FINALS
