UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 4
FATHER COX'S ARMY REACHES CAPITAL TO PETITION CONGRESS
(86)
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Followed by a host of idle, 10,000 strong, the Rev. James R. Cox, of Pittsburgh, presents the demands of the "hunger caravan" to the Federal Government. In Capitol Plaza extra police guards are ordered out as a precautionary measure but the demonstration is peaceful with the marchers concentrating entirely on rations of sauerkraut and frankfurters. After a tedious rain-soaked trek from Pennsylvania, wet but not discouraged, they stand behind their religious leader and urge the solons to action. A $5,000,000,000 bond issue to carry on government building works is asked for jobless relief.

And the once great amateur speed king is just as chesty as he was in the palmiest days of his career. Necessity drove him to such competition as this, and, he declares, he can't eat the trophies his track activities brought him.

WATSONVILLE, Cal. -- Homes are deserted by hundreds of residents as the rising Pajaro River threatens to break over the levees and engulf the entire community. The heaviest rainfall in nearly a score of years causes the rushing stream to inundate the whole business section of this city, and leaving in the flood's wake irreparable damage to orchards and rich farm land.
While in another part of the state, at Truckee, the whole countryside is snowed under by a raging blizzard, whose ferocity is beyond the recollection of the oldest inhabitant.
DARING PILOT RISKS NECK ACHIEVING NEW AQUAPLANE THRILLER

Where the slightest miss may mean a fatality, the two daredevils perform with nicety and precision in a hazardous stunt designed to stir the blood of a mummy.

PRESIDENT SEEKS END TO CIVIL STRIFE:
In a move almost without precedent, President Johnson addresses a joint session of Congress to push a voting rights bill aimed at ending discrimination.

In New York's Harlem more than 15,000 - half of them white - filed somberly through the streets in quiet, but agonized protest.
It was in memory of the Reverend James J. Reeb who was clubbed to death in Selma.
Meanwhile, in that small, southern town, violence had become a way of life. Dr. Martin Luther King leads several thousand marchers in a demonstration for the registration of Negroes.
DUTCH PRINCESS TO WED COMMONER:
