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.
The President referred to the events in Selma, Alabama, as "An American tragedy" and throughout the nation there were marches through the streets of towns and cities.
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:
Cupid is wearing the crown at Soestdijk Palace as the Dutch Royal family announces the engagement of Princess Margriet, one of four sisters. She's to wed a commoner, Pieter Van Vollenhove. The romance has the blessing of the Queen (Juliana) and the Dutch people.
CONSTANCE BENNETT BACK IN MOVIES:
On one of the sets built for the movie "MADAME X", there's a party of Hollywood notables on hand to welcome home Constance Bennett. After a 12-year retirement, the former movie queen is making a comeback in the screen classic. Hundreds of Hollywood luminaries turn out to bid her welcome and extend their best wishes for the success in her role in "MADAME X".

As United Nations forces take up positions across the vast reaches of the Congo and the center of crisis shifts to rebellious Katanga province, Belgium gives a heroic welcome to the first contingents of paratroops to return.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 90
20,000 UNEMPLOYED LED BY REDS IN MONSTER RELIEF CUT PROTEST
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Singing Communist songs, shouting slogans and flaunting banners calling for gratuities to the jobless as well as various radical "demands," a determined horde of men, women and children stages a "hunger march" through Loop, tying up traffic for an hour and giving the city its first taste of organized and exploited discontent. Converging from three directions, despite a steady rain, the marchers push the police aside and carry their pleas to Mayor Cermak at City Hall, thereafter assembling in Grant Park for a mass meeting. Instigated as a demonstration against the impending reduction in municipal support of the needy, the movement falls into the hands of anti-government agitators and winds up with ominous threats and a call for recruits for the proposed hike of a new Idle Army to Washington in December.
ROYAL SWEETHEARTS WED AMID SCENES OF POMP AND SPLENDOR
COBURG, Germany -- With all the elaborate ceremonials that featured the old Hohenzollern regime, the first regal marriage held in the Vaterland since the beginning of the Republic, unites Prince Gustaf Adolf Oscar, eldest son of the Crown Prince of Sweden, and Princess Sibyll of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, daughter of Duke Karl Eduard and Princess Victoria Adelaide of Schleswig-Holstein-Glucksburg. Simple civil rites in the 300-year-old Hunting Room of her father's Castle are followed by impressive nuptials at St. Moritz Church before the most brilliant throng of royalty and nobility assembled this side of the Rhine since the World War.
ODD BITS IN TODAY'S NEWS
56-MILE GALE RAZES RESORT DWELLINGS
BROAD CHANNEL, N. Y. -- The worst wind and rain storm in this section in more than 40 years demolishes bungalows, garages and other buildings, washing some of them into Jamaica Bay and leaving the popular summer colony a mass of wreckage. Described as a regular "Kansas twister," the cyclonic disturbance would have cost scores of lives but for the fact that many houses were closed for the season. Several families, their homes lifted from pilings and dumped into the water, are rescued as they float out with the tide.
BOY GENIUS PERFECTS AMAZING MINIATURES
HOLLYWOOD, Cal. -- Remarkable models of steam locomotives, on a scale of 1/48, but which are complete in every detail and can haul a 2000-pound load, the equal of 15 man-power, are made and sold by Kenneth Dewar, 20 years old. He draws the plans, makes his own patterns and castings and does the assembling and testing. He started at the age of 14, and has marketed 15 in the last three years, at about $1,200 each. Big business from a little hobby.
SEEK PROSPERITY WITH FIREWORKS
AMECAMECA, Mexico -- The surest way to frighten off the evils of depression and insure the return of happy days, according to local tradition, is to tie a lot of real firecrackers to a lot of artificial bulls and then dance for all you're worth. Inasmuch as today is San Lucas day and the bull is the saint's favorite animal they decided to combine the two and ask for Old Man Prosperity to come back in the ceremony known as "burning the bull." They might do it. THROWING the bull won't, that's a cinch.
RECLAIMS FORTUNE FROM OLD FLOORING
BOSTON, Mass. -- The very dirt under your feet is valuable when you walk around in a jewelry shop. So much gold dust and small bits of the precious metal fall and are trampled into the floor that it pays, every now and then, to tear up the boards and recover the wastage. Maurice G. Alperin, a sweep smelter, gets as high as $5,000 worth of bullion from a single store. The wood is burned in a special stove and the ashes and floor sweepings are reduced in a crucible. What's left is gold alloy or pure gold. At $20.60 a troy ounce, it's a business. It looks simple, too, to see Maurice do it.
WOOD-PAVED STREET RIPPED UP BY NEEDY AS FUEL FOR WINTER
CHICAGO, Ill. -- It's a great thing when poor people get a break. The municipal authorities, deciding to put modern paving on Blue Island Avenue, notify the unemployed and hard-pressed residents of the neighborhood that the old oil-soaked blocks with which the thoroughfare's been covered for years, are to be had for the taking. With picks, crowbars, chisels and other tools, men, women and children rush to gather burning material for the cold weather. Regardless of traffic, they dig, pry and gather in tons of first-rate fire-wood. The city gets the old road-way taken out gratis and those in need get a supply of "coal" for the coming months. An odd turn of affairs that helps everyone concerned.
ARMY AIRMEN ENGAGE IN THRILLING BOMBING COMBAT FOR CHARITY
LONG BEACH, Cal. -- Squadrons of bombers swooping down and raining explosives on defenseless "villages," swarms of pursuit planes darting in winged assault on the ships of the bombarding force, "dog-fights," airobatics, and other exciting activities of warfare in the skies are demonstrated, before a huge crowd at the municipal airport by pilots from March Field, for the benefit of the needy. Power dives at 250 miles an hour and similar feats are among the breath-takers performed by the nation's crack bird-men. A remarkable "show" of military flying progress.

(186)
DETROIT, Mich. -- Climbing to 2,500 feet the daredevil aviator swings downward in a power dive, preparatory to an assault on the airplane speed record. Whirling through space the powerful craft hesitates, spins crazily for an awful moment and plunges to the ground at 5 miles a minute from a height of 50 feet. The crash is accompanied by a giant explosion that shoots a tower of flame and smoke 200 feet into the air and scatters blazing debris to a distance of 600 feet. A spectacular and exclusive picture that forms a never-to-be-forgotten newsreel epic.
