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

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.

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.

Crowds Hail Hitler Victory

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
