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.

SATURDAY NIGHT FOR JUNGLE KING BRINGS WEEKLY BEAUTY BATH
LOS ANGELES, Cal. -- Just like a small boy, Jackie, the California Zoo's African lion, hates to be tubbed. And woe to Melvin Koontz, the daring trainer, when he gets soap in His Majesty's eyes. There are quite a few hectic moments in bathing a lion. The feat requires remarkable coolness and courage.
1500 DEAD; 100 TOWNS WIPED OUT BY 'QUAKE, TIDAL WAVE AND FIRE

ADVANCE INFORMATION FOR NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY AND EXPLOITATION
SPANISH DEMONSTRATION
MADRID--More than half a million Spaniards assemble in public squares to demonstrate in behalf of their government and to support the Franco regime, which has been ostracized by United Nations action.
CLOTHING FOR ABORIGINALS
FORMOSA--Trucks loaded with UNRRA clothing set out for isolated native villages in the remote hinterland of this island, to help clothe thousands of semi-civilized aboriginals whom the Japs could never subjugate.
TRANSPORT A LA KING
ENGLAND--Special trains for a royal tour of South Africa, and a new limousine for the royal family, provide transportation a la king. The new coaches and new auto are the last word in British craftsmanship.
REBELLION OF RAGPICKERS
PARIS--"Trumps," the city's nocturnal ragpickers who go through the streets at night collecting old rags and paper for scrap salvage, win victory over local ordnance banning their trade. So, it's back to work!
TUNA FISHING IN SPAIN
ALICANTE--The catch is a record one--and the sea yields a net crop! By the netful, Spanish fishermen haul in the big ones, and it's plenty of work as you'll see in these colorful films.
UTAH BASKETEERS WIN
NEW YORK--In a spectacular basketball razzle-dazzle at the Garden, the Blitz Kids of Utah keep in season form by administering a 62-48 defeat to the St. John's Five. Somebody wins--and somebody loses.
