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.
FANS HAIL BASEBALL STARS SELECTED FOR 1932 ALL-AMERICA NINE
First and exclusive pictures of Babe Ruth's annual choice of the elite of the national game, the prime honor that can befall a big league player. The highlight of the baseball season, particularly timely right now as fandom looks forward to the World's Series. Here is the "perfect" team for 1932:
Catcher -- "Bill" Dickey..(Yankees)
Pitcher -- "Lon" Warneke...(Cubs)
Pitcher -- "Lefty" Grove (Athletics)
Left F. -- "Lefty" O'Doul (Dodgers)
3rd Base -- "Pie" Traynor.(Pirates)
Shortstop -- "Joe" Cronin (Senators)
Center F. -- Earl Averill...(Tigers)
Right F. -- "Chuck" Klein (Phillies)
2nd Base--"Tony" Lazzeri (Yankees)

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.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 82
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.

ERIE GRAPE CROP SETS NEW RECORD
MIDDLE BASS, Ohio -- Delawares, Concords and Catawbas by the ton are filling the vats of Lake island and shore vineyard growers as a bumper yield raises vintner's hopes of the possible legalizing of light wines in the near future.
NATIVES HOLD RARE BATTLE-GOD RITES
KATSURA, Japan -- Enthusiastic natives bear an ornate palanquin in impressive ceremonies to thank their God of War for the success of the Nipponese armies in their Chinese engagements. A startling evidence of the martial spirit of the man-on-the-street in the Flowery Kingdom.
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.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 91
REAL "WAR" FEATURES 1750th ANNIVERSARY OF VICTORY OVER KOREA
HIROSHIMA, Japan -- Cracked heads, black eyes and other injuries are the outcome of one of the nation's most celebrated religious festivals, the "battle of the palanquins" at the famous Shirahama Temple near Kobe, held once every five years. This shrine was founded in 182 A.D. to commemorate the severe defeat administered by the Nipponese forces to their continental neighbors. This year the ceremony is bigger than ever before and it is witnessed by 150,000 spectators. Squads of young men march with Mikoshi, or floats, each group trying to upset the sacred vehicles carried by rival bands. Fierce combats ensue, transforming the route to the temple into a melee of flying fists and waving sticks.
SPORTSMEN FLOCK TO HUNTERS' PARADISE AS GAME SEASON STARTS
TULE LAKE, Cal. -- Ducks and wild geese of almost every species, from Alaska, Canada and the Northwest make this body of water a principal stopping point on their annual southward migration. By hundreds of thousands they circle around, almost blotting out the sky, as the roar of guns marks the Zero Hour for huntsmen from all parts of the country. Some with blinds, others with dogs, many just with fire-arms, the bird-shot army reaps a rich harvest of speckle-breasts, Canadian honkers, widgeons, canvas-backs and other feathered game, until the flocks become wary and wing their way out of range.

NEW "LUNG" DEBARS SUBMARINE PERILS
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Menotti Nanni, non-sinkable device engineer and inventor, kisses his wife and children good-bye at the Battery, crawls into a bullet-like metal compartment and is pushed off into the deep water of the Bay. He comes up smiling after a time and extols his newest development, the Life Safety Cabin, as a guarantee against undersea-boat catastrophes.
PARENTS ACCLAIM COLLEGE FOR BABIES
BOSTON, Mass. -- Entrance requirements for youngsters at the Habit Training School on North Bennet Street include stubbornness, temper, tantrums, thumb-sucking, destructiveness and general juvenile cussedness. The course of study, which is for 2-, 3- and 4-year-olds with twisted ideas and attitudes as the result of unhappy homes, consists of letting the youngsters do whatever they desire, except to harm one another. As a result, they rapidly become normal and are "graduated" as likeable, peaceable, every-day kids. A remarkable experiment in child raising.
FILM STAR SPANS U.S. BY AIR-MAIL
GLENDALE, Cal. -- Pretty Gloria Stuart, unable to secure regular plane reservations and in a hurry to fulfill a pressing New York engagement, "air-mails" herself to Gotham. After weighing in, she buys $264.11 worth of stamps, which are affixed to a tag fastened to her coat. Rides on postal handcarts and in regular mail trucks form a part of her novel experiences, in addition to her swift mail-plane transit of the continent, the first time, it is believed, this feat has been accomplished.
EXHAUSTED COUPLES DRAG FATIGUED FEET IN ENDURANCE WALK
CHICAGO, Ill. -- More than a month ago forty pairs started in the Marathon at the Coliseum. Today, only sixteen are left, -- thirty-two sleep-walkers shuffling about unconscious of the ballyhoo that surrounds them. Fifteen minutes rest after every hour on the floor, seven meals a day, and a compulsory shower bath once every night are some of the highlights of the "walkathon." To speed up the contest, "sprints" of 2 1/2 hours without stop are frequent. This rushes the weak sisters and the even weaker brothers off their pins and is expected to shorten the competition by at least two weeks. A doctor, dentist, barber, beautician and three registered nurses are on duty at the hall. The prizes include the title of the world's most upstanding walker. All contestants receive a set of hand-carved bunions.
HUNGER MOBILIZATION CLIMAXING BY SERIOUS RIOTING AT HYDE PARK
LONDON, England -- Goaded by Communist agitators and inflamed by Red speakers at a monster mass meeting near the Canadian War Memorial, thousands of unemployed, denouncing the "Means Test" as a determinant for the British dole, resort to disorder and mob violence, battling the police, disrupting traffic in all streets in the vicinity of the Marble Arch, and terrorizing merchants and women shoppers in the fashionable Oxford Street retail district. With coal, bricks and stones as ammunition, the rioters withstand charge after charge of mounted "bobbies" and foot squads. Rushing up re-enforcements in commandeered lorries, the trouble-makers vent their anger on automobile owners, over-turning cars, smashing windows and wind-shields and wrecking plate-glass store fronts. After two hours of continuous struggle in which hundreds are injured, the blue-coats out-maneuvre the law breakers, divide their forces and drive them in all directions, arresting scores.
SPECIAL ROOSEVELT WINS
The Democratic candidate for President is elected in the greatest political upset in this country in twelve years, millions of depression-embittered farmers and other erstwhile Republicans throwing their votes in protest to the Governor of New York. The wild scenes of enthusiasm at the national convention of the Jeffersonian party and the unprecedented fervor and warmth of the reception accorded the party's nominee in all sections of the country during the campaign, were indicative of the nation's determination to put different hands at the helm of the Ship of State. Election night crowds set a new high record for noisy celebrations and exuberant festivities.

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.
