UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL SYNOPSIS RELEASE 39-1
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS OF 1963
That page of history that is 1965 began with the inauguration of the 36th President of the United States and ended with a great U.S. triumph in space.
President Johnson's inauguration set the tone for his administration's great society.
The Civil Rights Drive gained new impetus with demonstrations across the nation and the signing of the Voting Rights Bill.
Death came to the man who led the free world from the threatening doom of slavery to a glorious victory. Men remembered and paid last tribute to Winston Churchill.
Adlai Stevenson died as he lived -- a simple man who belonged with those who became great figures without holding high office.
Again in 1965 man stood helpless against the forces of nature. The toll of floods and tornadoes proved that he was still unable to cope with many of his earthbound problems.
Pope Paul VI made history himself by becoming the first Pontiff ever to visit the United States. At the invitation of the United Nations he addressed that international body calling it "Man's last hope of peace."
The U. S. increased its commitments to South Vietnam in both men and materials and, despite widespread Anti-war demonstrations in the U. S. vowed to wage war to victory.
There were bright and glorious moments, too. Gemini Four carried James McDivitt and Edward White aloft for White's famous "walk in space." Just six months later Gemini Six and Gemini Seven met 185 miles above the earth for their famous rendezvous and brought to groundlings some of the most amazing movies ever made.
It was a year of sadness, a year of triumph, a year that now belongs to history.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 74
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.
ROYAL INFANT MAKES PICTURESQUE DEBUT IN BAPTISMAL RITES
M��DLING, Austria -- Ex-King Alphonso of Spain acts as god-father at the colorful christening of the Archduke Stephan, the new-born son of Archduke Anton of Hapsburg and Princess Ileana of Roumania, while 10,000 Austrians, loyal to the Hapsburg dynasty, cheer in the streets before the quaint old Church of St. Othmar. 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.
CHAMPION BUCKAROOS VIE FOR WORLD TITLE IN COWBOY THRILLER
LOS ANGELES, Cal. -- The vast stadium which lately rang with plaudits to the heroes of the Tenth Olympiad, now is filled to the echo with the "Yip-yip-yee-e-e" of the old West as America's expert cow-punchers exhibit their skill and ability in the Second Annual Congress of Rough Riders. 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.

Carol Greets Royal Visitors
SINAIA, Rumania -- The eyes of Europe are turned to the significant visit of King Alexander of Jugoslavia and his Queen to this neighboring kingdom and the impressive scenes of pomp attending their arrival here. Crown Prince Michael joins his famous father for the welcoming ceremonies and then turns "boy" again, to demonstrate his prowess at coasting.
Huskies Race in 16-Mi. Derby
MT. HOOD, Ore. -- The pick of the West's dog-sled drivers, and their teams, battle to a nip-and-tuck finish in a strenuous speed classic amid a gorgeous mountain setting. Thula Geelan of McCall, Ida., the country's only professional "mush" racer and many times a winner, is nosed out near the goal by Roy Stover of Cascade and his strong team of setters. A large crowd, standing knee-deep in soft snow, is thrilled to noisy enthusiasm by the spirited contest.
Towns in Panic as Vesuvius Erupts
NAPLES, Italy -- Violent and almost continuous earth tremors shaking the entire country-side, and giant clouds of smoke pouring from the crater of the great volcano, accompanied by bursts of lava and steam, presage a paroxysmal outburst from the famous fire mountain. Thousands flee from the villages in the vicinity and troops are ordered to the scene to facilitate evacuation and rescue work.
Capital Plans for Inaugural
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Official circles are apprehensive as labor troubles slow up the construction of the stands and the sea of seats for the Inauguration. A replica of Federal Hall, where the First President took the oath of office, takes form to shelter Roosevelt during the elaborate parade. Impressive scenes of the first Wilson ceremonial, in 1913, show the wild enthusiasm of thousands at that eventful Democratic jubilee, expected to be far surpassed this March 4th.
Nippon Mat Champ Wins Again
TOKYO, Japan -- Spectacular views of the national mid-winter bouts attended by a yelling mob of 10,000 enthusiastic "fans." The semi-annual competition, East vs. West, brings out the country's best heavyweights, versed in the ancient and curious art of "Sumo" wrestling.
Risk Death in Daring Race
LONG BEACH, Cal. -- Unusually fast riding by expert speed aces features the motorcycle dirt-track contests at the local speedway. Sensational skidding and a number of breath-taking spills make the tournament a succession of thrills for the excited spectators.
Blizzard Cripples City---15 Dead
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Sub-zero weather and one of the worst snowstorms in mid-west history tie up automobile and pedestrian traffic, causing many casualties from exposure, forcing a cessation of all school activities and marooning thousands of motorists. A shrieking gale off Lake Michigan piles six-foot drifts in the streets and almost turns the metropolis into an arctic waste. Remarkable scenes of men and women battling the elements.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL Volume V Number 125
(PRE-RELEASED) The First Sound Pictures Ever Shown of a Presidential Inauguration The Brilliant Ceremonies Marking The Induction of FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT as the 32nd President of the United States
STRIKING close-up views of President-elect Roosevelt's arrival at the White House to take President Hoover to the Capitol for the Inaugural ceremony, and the historic ride of the celebrated pair down Pennsylvania Avenue, with a Congressional escort, as cheering thousands, massed on the sidewalks, hail the event.
THE REMARKABLE scene in front of the Capitol as 100,000 eager Americans hear Mr. Roosevelt recite the Oath of Office which makes him Chief Executive of the nation.
THE STIRRING Inaugural Address by the new President, with its determined challenge to the forces of depression, and the wild enthusiasm kindled by his vigorous utterances.
THE MAGNIFICENT vista of Pennsylvania Avenue during the Inaugural Parade, with the country's picked Army, Navy, Marine and National Guard units, marching proudly to the music of scores of bands, as the new Commander-in-Chief reviews the nation's greatest pageant.
ALSO, interesting scenes are shown of the record-breaking method by which these Universal Newspaper Newsreel sound pictures of the Inauguration were rushed from Washington to the screen via the country's fastest air transport, to establish an all-time record for newsreel service.
