This last episode in the series The Story of India tells how a foreign multinational (the East India Company) thousands of miles away gradually and almost by chance took power over great swathes of the Indian subcontinent; how after the horrendous shock of the 1857 'Mutiny' the British state took over and turned this supremacy into the Raj, the jewel in the crown of the greatest empire the world had ever seen; and how the Freedom Movement delivered Independence to India in 1947, albeit a divided India. The series ends by acknowledging the extraordinary achievements of Indian democracy over sixty years and flags India's predicted rise to be the largest country and the second largest (or even the largest) economy in the world in the next three decades.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 92
OPENING OF HISTORIC HIGHWAY LINK HAILED BY FASCIST LEGIONS
ROME, Italy -- As the grand culmination of a week-long celebration throughout Italy on the tenth anniversary of the famous march of the Black Shirts on the nation's capital, Premier Benito Mussolini dedicates the new Imperial Avenue of the Hills, connecting the Piazza Venezia with the Colisseum. Accompanied by his staff and foreign attaches, Il Duce rides the length of the broad street and then reviews 15,000 war-wounded supporters of Fascism as they pass in mass formation with their regimental colors. The thoroughfare symbolizes two millennia of Roman power and stands as a symbol of the progress achieved under the present regime.
RIOTOUS REDS ROUTED AS HIGH COURT SETS SCOTTSBORO RE-TRIAL
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In the most audacious demonstration ever attempted in this country, Communist agitators stage a hectic disturbance on Capitol Plaza in an effort to coerce the Supreme tribunal of the United States in the case of the seven young negroes sentenced to death in Alabama for alleged criminal assault. Police and detectives, by a vigorous counter-offensive with clubs and tear-gas, scatter the mob, tear their provocative banners to shreds and arrest the ring leaders. Unperturbed by the disturbance outside, the Justices reverse the conviction, ordering a new hearing. The capital disorder is the latest gesture of Soviet sympathizers in America, spurred on by Moscow, which seeks to make another Sacco-Vanzetti issue of the affair.
MINE BARONS INSTALL MECHANICAL GOLIATH TO AID COAL INDUSTRY
PITTSBURG, Kan. -- A giant power shovel that can take a 27-ton bite of earth and deposit it on the top of a 7-story building 200 feet away, is set up to strip dirt, shale and rock from bituminous veins near the surface of the ground in this vicinity. As large as an apartment house, its towering maze of steel and cable is operated by electricity and can be controlled by one man. It cost $300,000 and was shipped here in parts, filling 35 freight cars. Mounted on eight sets of huge caterpillar tracks, it can move about, digging gouges 70 feet deep, and filling a maximum of 7500 trucks in a 24-hour day. Hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel, otherwise impossible to get at economically, can be reached with this new juggernaut of industry.
PILOT DANGLES IN AIR TO PROVE MERITS OF SELF-FLYING 'PLANE
INGLEWOOD, Cal. -- An amazing invention by Dr. C. H. Vance of Pomona, which causes an airplane to fly a true course without stalling, side-slipping, spinning or skidding, is demonstrated by Fred Munro, who leaves the controls and climbs all over the ship as it wings its way high over Mines Field. Hanging from the struts, working his way backward along the tail or seated astride the nose, the dare-devil pilot shows the machine's complete independence of human guidance. Four small fins or stabilizers do the trick, two for lateral and two for fore-and-aft balance, making the craft absolutely fool-proof. The device promises to take the science of aviation a long way towards safety.
LEADING SCIENTISTS BAFFLED BY AMAZING INFANT PHENOMENON
CHICAGO, Ill. -- The medical world is agape at the strange case of Clarence Kehr, an 8-year-old boy whose blood-pressure is that of a man of 40, whose arteries denote the same age, whose physical strength otherwise is that of 25 to 30, but whose stature is normal. The youngster handles 15-pound dumbbells with ease and can lift a 200-pound grown-up. He is fond of cigars. Exhaustive tests and X-ray examinations indicate that a pituitary gland overactive from birth until the age of 3 1/2, may be the cause. His growth at the present time is as it should be, but if the gland should suddenly start working over-time again, the child will be 105 years old at the age of 12, and will feel his 175 years before he can vote.
COLLEGIATE HORDES RAID COUNTRYSIDE TO FUEL MONSTER BLAZE
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Freshmen of Oregon State College build the biggest bonfire on record as the feature of a football rally on the eve of the annual game with the University of Oregon. After tearing down three 6-room dwellings for timber, scouring the vicinity for miles around for wooden boxes and other combustibles, the undergraduates, with the aid of block and tackle, erect a pyre 79 feet high, which blazes 200 feet in the air and necessitates the attention of the local fire department to save the college halls and dormitories from destruction. A hot send-off for a grid-iron team. Result: Oregon, 12 -- O.S.C., 6.
FLOOD OF OPTIMISM FILLS NATION AFTER DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH
Never have the American people been so determined to exercise their right of suffrage, as long lines at almost every polling place testify, and the general satisfaction of the majority, following the success of their chosen candidate, results in a country-wide attitude of cheerfulness and hope not seen abroad in the land since the crash of 1929. Election night crowds are the first to usher in the new spirit of "Happy Days Are Here Again" with a jubilation and whoopee that even the bad weather in some sections cannot dampen. Both candidates show the strain of the battle for votes, but President Hoover is a game loser, and smiles, even in defeat.
