SPECTATORS TOUCHED AS FADING G.A.R. RANKS PASS IN BRAVE ARRAY
(116)
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- More than 100,000 line the streets of the Metropolis as the fast-thinning column of veterans of '61, now bent with age, march in memory of their comrades. The most colorful figure in the picturesque parade is John Early, 88-year-old Zouave, lone survivor of the famous regiment in the district. In direct contrast with the aging heroes of the Civil War are 15,000 veterans of the World War, and National Guard units, resplendent in dress uniforms. A stirring memorial to departed "buddies."
VETERANS CONVERGE ON CAPITAL TO PRESS BONUS CASH CLAIMS
(88)
ZANESVILLE, Ohio -- A tired, weather-beaten, and travel-stained "Army" moves toward Washington, D. C., to lay their demands before Congress for settlements on the adjusted compensation for ex-service men of the World War. Governor White furnishes trucks to carry them through, and eliminates trouble with railroads. Camping on roadsides, as they did when they wore khaki, the unemployed ex-soldiers doggedly maintain the march that started on the Pacific Coast.
DARING BIRDMEN RISK LIVES IN SENSATIONAL FLIGHT OVER SIERRAS
(128)
DEATH VALLEY, Cal. -- Laden with heavy cargoes of gas and observation equipment, 9 huge airplanes of the 11th Bomb Squadron under command of Lieutenant Charles H. Howard take to the skies from March Field on the initial patrol through the treacherous canyons of the dangerous mountain range. For the first time planes fly through the Yosemite Valley and circle Mt. Whitney below the rim of the peaks to study the air currents peculiar to the region. After 8 hours in the clouds the Army eagles return to their base, the thrilling maneuver a complete success.

NEW ANTI-AIRCRAFT RECORD ACHIEVED BY COAST DEFENSE ACES
(101)
FT. MONROE, Va. -- Under the critical eye of War Secretary Patrick J. Hurley, artillerymen at this strategic point on the Atlantic frontier test their accuracy with high-powered new-type weapons against attacks from the skies. Firing with deadly aim, the batteries, using 6-inch guns, shoot the projectiles into the air destroying targets trailed by fearless aviators. A new high mark of direct hits is scored with a deadly precision undreamed of until today.
ACCIDENTS MAR AUTO CLASSIC; FRAME SETS NEW 104-MILE MARK
(177)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Driving a brilliant race throughout the gruelling 500-mile speed test the 37-year-old Los Angeles campaigner slips into the lead after the 350-mile mark and is never headed. Howdy Wilcox, a local product, battles him every inch of the way to the finish, coming home only eight seconds behind the winner. The fastest field that has ever started maintain a murderous pace during the entire grind. A mishap again robs Billy Arnold, youthful Chicago daredevil, of the coveted prize as he crashes through a retaining wall soon after the 100-mile mark. Tony Gulotta piles up in the stretch and narrowly averts disaster. 17 aces stick to the end in the most sensational fight in the history of the event. Fred Frame, today's winner, gains $20,000 as a result of his victory.

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.

Hoover Gives "Farewell" Speech
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- As a final official message to the American people before retiring from office March 4th, the President, speaking at the Lincoln Day Dinner of the National Republican Club, warns that economic recovery cannot be brought about in this country until Europe's ills also are remedied. He calls upon all nations to unite to prevent an economic World War -- the probable fore-runner of armed conflict -- and urges that some part of the foreign debt payments be set aside to help other countries back on a gold standard.
Pirates Stage Brilliant Pageant
TAMPA, Fla. -- Gasparilla, the Scourge of the Spanish Main, sails again, and with his cut-throat crew of 130 freebooters, descends upon the city and sacks it as of yore, in a colorful re-enaction of the famous sea-rover's attack in colonial times. Striking scenes of America's most spectacular festival.
Mussolini Honors Fascist Heroes
ROME, Italy -- 50,000 Black Shirt militiamen mass in the famous Piazza di Siena to be reviewed by Il Duce and to see several of their beloved leaders, including Gen Debono, Gen. Balbo and Deputy Devecchi, quadriumvirs and veterans of the "March on Rome," decorated by the Premier in a colorful ceremony.
Troops Mass For Drive
SHANHAIKWAN, China -- Impressive scenes of the movement of Japanese troops into the battle zone near the eastern end of the Great Wall, and intimate views of Generals Nishi and Suzuki surveying the results of the First Nippon push in this sector. Fearful of the impending resumption of modern warfare in its most terrifying aspect, Chinese civilian inhabitants flee with their children across the ice-bound rivers and scatter gypsy-like through the countryside.
Crowds Hail Hitler Victory
BERLIN, Germany -- Blood-shed is a daily occurrence as Nazis and Communists clash in street demonstrations and raids in various sections of the Republic. Pre-election fever mounts rapidly. The National Socialists, determined that their chief shall remain as Chancellor, hold monster rallies, parades and reviews, as the new cabinet plots its election strategy.
Firemen Battle $1,000,000 Blaze
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Amazing scenes of one of the most spectacular conflagrations in local history, which taxes the stamina of the firefighters and their apparatus, with the thermometer at 22�� below zero. A costly grain elevator on Goose Island is completely destroyed while streams of water turn to ice as fast as they are played upon the burning structure. Scores of men from the engine companies suffer frozen hands, feet and faces.
Set World Bob-Sled Record
LAKE PLACID, N. Y. -- All previous speed marks are shattered in the A.A.U. championship coasting races on the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Olympic run, with Curtis Stevens and his Blue Bird four streaking down the ice-glazed course and around the breath-taking zig-zag curves to make the mile-and-a-half in 1 min. 47.86 seconds.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL Volume V NUMBER 120
EXTRA! Killer Misses Roosevelt--Cermak Shot
MIAMI, Fla. -- Assassin fires five shots in attempt on life of the President-elect at conclusion of welcome ceremonies in sea-side park. Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chicago critically wounded as bullets aimed at the next Chief Executive go wild, cutting a swath among by-standers. Two women are among those hit, one of whom is near death. Hectic scenes mark the infamous shooting, the arrest of Giuseppe Zangara, the anarchist mad-man, and the hurried efforts to succor the victims. Unscathed, the future President heads the first-aid and emergency measures in rushing his close friend and supporter, Cermak and the others to a near-by hospital. Zangara, quizzed by an iron ring, maintains his defiance and gloats over his deed.
Frigid Gales Force Fishermen Home
BOSTON, Mass. -- The New England fishing fleet catches the tail end of the blizzard and cold wave that has scourged the United States. The various ships have to put back to port because of the ice that rapidly forms on decks and riggings. Heroic efforts and superb seamanship bring the vessels safely in but it takes many long and bitter hours to chop the frozen spume from lines and superstructure.
Honor Burial For Hitler Riot Victims
BERLIN, Germany -- For the first time since the days of the Hohenzollerns, a pompous State funeral is held here, with the German Chancellor and high officials of the Reich and of the Nazi organization taking leading parts in the solemn procession behind caskets bearing a National Socialist storm troop leader and a State policeman killed during the torchlight parade in honor of the new regime. 20,000 Brown Shirts follow the cortege, as 100,000 spectators look on. One of the most impressive scenes of the year.
Suckers Catch Sharks Without Hook
BERMUDA -- Remarkable scenes of the remora or suck-fish being used to catch sharks by means of its peculiar "vacuum-cup" dorsal fin. The little "come-on" is let down into the water by a string tied to its tail. It attaches itself to bigger denizens of the deep and hangs on while both are pulled to the surface and landed by astute fisherman.
Navy Shows Power In War Game
HONOLULU, T. H. -- Inspiring scenes of Uncle Sam's great naval aircraft mother ship, the Lexington, now operating as the pride of the "Black" or "enemy" fleet in this winter's battle maneuvers. Fighting planes are seen zooming up from the broad deck of the queer war vessel to smother the harbor and coast defenses of the Island of Cahu.
Rare Dogs Win Blue Ribbons
OAKLAND, Cal. -- Highlights of the twenty-first annual Pacific Coast Kennel Club show, with the elite of dogdom carrying off final honors. Pekinese, wire-hair fox terriers, chows, English bulls, griffons and pointers of the finest breeds are among the canine royalty decorated with first prize badges.
Chinese Mobilize For Defense
SHANHAIKWAN, China -- Gen. Ho Chu Kuo's celebrated 9th Infantry Brigade, heroes of the recent struggle around this city, dig in just south of the Great Wall and prepare to sell their lives dearly to prevent Japanese invaders from over-running their native soil. Continuous skirmishes along the front, where the opposing armies are face to face, awaiting the impending Jehol drive, are rapidly assuming more vigor in this warfare that isn't a war. Gen. Ho proves he is no "dug-out commander" by frequent visits to the firing lines.
