ROYAL POMP MARKS RECORD LAUNCHING OF NEW OCEAN QUEEN
(121)
TRIESTE, Italy -- With Crown Prince Humbert and the Crown Princess in attendance the Conti di Savoia is christened and sent down the ways on her first step toward heavy duty on the Atlantic waters. The first ship ever equipped with a gyroscope stabilizer, the 48,000-ton vessel is designed to cut two days from the running time of the New York-Naples steamship lane. The 811-foot boat was completed in record time, and is the second Italian liner of its tremendous size built within the year.
COMPLETE WORLD'S LARGEST ARCH SPAN AT COST OF $16,000,000.
BAYONNE, N. J. -- Workers brave dangerous perils putting finishing touches on huge bridge connecting this city and Staten Island. The 1,675-foot arch is the greatest of its type, rising 327 feet above Kill Van Kull, which the 2-mile link crosses. In preparation for the dedication and opening ceremony, engineers and laborers go aloft to give the fine mesh steel-work a final test.
SCHOOLS CLOSED TO ENLIST CHILD AID IN GRAPE-PICKING DRIVE
(85)
KELLEYS ISLAND, Ohio -- Confronted with huge orders and almost an unmanageable crop of fruit, town authorities are forced to declare a holiday to win assistance in harvesting the great growth. The industry is the chief occupation in the community, and the heavily ladened vines bring prosperity to both young and old. The kids do not find the assignment difficult, and many test their tasting skill on the succulent fruit.

POINT REYES, Cal. -- While the freighter Munleon pounds to pieces, 29 members of the boat's force leave it in open skiffs under the leadership of Capt. O. J. Hengst, aided by the Coast Guard. Crowds of curious people gather atop the 600-foot cliff and watch the vessel toss back and forth as the men make their perilous journey from the doomed ship.
NATION HONORS WAR HEROES IN SOLEMN ARMISTICE DAY RITES
(129)
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- In tribute to the memory of those who fell in the great conflict the metropolis comes to an impressive halt for a brief moment of silence, in marked contrast to the riotous throngs that welcomed the dawn of peace thirteen years ago. At the Eternal Light a touching ceremony is performed with reverence, and at Arlington Cemetery, President Hoover lays a wreath on the grave of the Unknown Soldier.

OPENING OF HISTORIC HIGHWAY LINK HAILED BY FASCIST LEGIONS
ROME, Italy -- As the grand culmination of a week-long celebration throughout Italy on the tenth anniversary of the famous march of the Black Shirts on the nation's capital, Premier Benito Mussolini dedicates the new Imperial Avenue of the Hills, connecting the Piazza Venezia with the Colisseum. Accompanied by his staff and foreign attaches, Il Duce rides the length of the broad street and then reviews 15,000 war-wounded supporters of Fascism as they pass in mass formation with their regimental colors. The thoroughfare symbolizes two millennia of Roman power and stands as a symbol of the progress achieved under the present regime.
RIOTOUS REDS ROUTED AS HIGH COURT SETS SCOTTSBORO RE-TRIAL
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In the most audacious demonstration ever attempted in this country, Communist agitators stage a hectic disturbance on Capitol Plaza in an effort to coerce the Supreme tribunal of the United States in the case of the seven young negroes sentenced to death in Alabama for alleged criminal assault. Police and detectives, by a vigorous counter-offensive with clubs and tear-gas, scatter the mob, tear their provocative banners to shreds and arrest the ring leaders. Unperturbed by the disturbance outside, the Justices reverse the conviction, ordering a new hearing. The capital disorder is the latest gesture of Soviet sympathizers in America, spurred on by Moscow, which seeks to make another Sacco-Vanzetti issue of the affair.
MINE BARONS INSTALL MECHANICAL GOLIATH TO AID COAL INDUSTRY
PITTSBURG, Kan. -- A giant power shovel that can take a 27-ton bite of earth and deposit it on the top of a 7-story building 200 feet away, is set up to strip dirt, shale and rock from bituminous veins near the surface of the ground in this vicinity. As large as an apartment house, its towering maze of steel and cable is operated by electricity and can be controlled by one man. It cost $300,000 and was shipped here in parts, filling 35 freight cars. Mounted on eight sets of huge caterpillar tracks, it can move about, digging gouges 70 feet deep, and filling a maximum of 7500 trucks in a 24-hour day. Hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel, otherwise impossible to get at economically, can be reached with this new juggernaut of industry.
PILOT DANGLES IN AIR TO PROVE MERITS OF SELF-FLYING 'PLANE
INGLEWOOD, Cal. -- An amazing invention by Dr. C. H. Vance of Pomona, which causes an airplane to fly a true course without stalling, side-slipping, spinning or skidding, is demonstrated by Fred Munro, who leaves the controls and climbs all over the ship as it wings its way high over Mines Field. Hanging from the struts, working his way backward along the tail or seated astride the nose, the dare-devil pilot shows the machine's complete independence of human guidance. Four small fins or stabilizers do the trick, two for lateral and two for fore-and-aft balance, making the craft absolutely fool-proof. The device promises to take the science of aviation a long way towards safety.
LEADING SCIENTISTS BAFFLED BY AMAZING INFANT PHENOMENON
CHICAGO, Ill. -- The medical world is agape at the strange case of Clarence Kehr, an 8-year-old boy whose blood-pressure is that of a man of 40, whose arteries denote the same age, whose physical strength otherwise is that of 25 to 30, but whose stature is normal. The youngster handles 15-pound dumbbells with ease and can lift a 200-pound grown-up. He is fond of cigars. Exhaustive tests and X-ray examinations indicate that a pituitary gland overactive from birth until the age of 3 1/2, may be the cause. His growth at the present time is as it should be, but if the gland should suddenly start working over-time again, the child will be 105 years old at the age of 12, and will feel his 175 years before he can vote.
COLLEGIATE HORDES RAID COUNTRYSIDE TO FUEL MONSTER BLAZE
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Freshmen of Oregon State College build the biggest bonfire on record as the feature of a football rally on the eve of the annual game with the University of Oregon. After tearing down three 6-room dwellings for timber, scouring the vicinity for miles around for wooden boxes and other combustibles, the undergraduates, with the aid of block and tackle, erect a pyre 79 feet high, which blazes 200 feet in the air and necessitates the attention of the local fire department to save the college halls and dormitories from destruction. A hot send-off for a grid-iron team. Result: Oregon, 12 -- O.S.C., 6.
FLOOD OF OPTIMISM FILLS NATION AFTER DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH
Never have the American people been so determined to exercise their right of suffrage, as long lines at almost every polling place testify, and the general satisfaction of the majority, following the success of their chosen candidate, results in a country-wide attitude of cheerfulness and hope not seen abroad in the land since the crash of 1929. Election night crowds are the first to usher in the new spirit of "Happy Days Are Here Again" with a jubilation and whoopee that even the bad weather in some sections cannot dampen. Both candidates show the strain of the battle for votes, but President Hoover is a game loser, and smiles, even in defeat.

PARIS, France -- On the 13th anniversary of the Armistice, crack regiments of infantry, cavalry, and artillery march in the shadow of the Arch of Triumph, commemorating, with the parade, the dawn of peace. President Paul Doumer and Premier Laval are among the nation's dignitaries who review the troops and pay homage at the tomb in solemn rites honoring the country's dead.
FIRST SNOW BRINGS RECORD FLOCKS TO OPEN HUNT SEASON
(93)
TULE LAKE, Ore. -- At the first sight of birds on the wing, marksmen from every section of the nation flood this sportsmen's paradise in quest of the elusive water fowl. Accompanied by well-bred hounds and armed with trusty guns, the hunters are greeted by the greatest flight ever seen in this part of the country. Millions of geese and ducks fill the air. But game wardens are always present to see that the birds get an even break, and that the sharp-shooters do not profit too richly.

NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Thousands gather in a monster meeting to protest against Japan's Manchurian activities. Police keep a watchful eye while speakers exhort their audiences to action and demand peace for the homeland. Fearing an outburst against the Eastern Empire, where troops are mobilizing, the Oriental quarter is rigidly guarded. The ire of the adult population of this section of the metropolis has little effect on the pastimes of the younger and Americanized generation, whose main thought is the outcome of major football contests.
FAIR HARVARD BOWS TO ELI, 3-0, IN GOLDEN JUBILEE GRID DUEL
(179)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Little Albie Booth, Yale's mighty atom, after a three-year struggle connects in his last appearance against the ancient rival and boots a field goal that gives his eleven its first victory in four years over the Crimson. After a brilliant 87-yard dash from the opening kick-off by Jack Crickard, the Johnnies' vaunted air attack is smothered. Barry Wood is fought to a standstill by an inspired Blue team, and the Bulldog supporters express their jubilant spirits by ripping up the goal posts from Soldier Field.

WAR HEROES HONORED BY EUROPEAN LEADERS AT NATIONAL SHRINES
LONDON, England -- With solemn tread, King George V leads his subjects in impressive Remembrance Day ceremonies at the Cenotaph beneath which lies Britain's Unknown Soldier. Uniformed forces of the Empire, many of them veterans of Albion's 1500 days of sacrifice and carnage in the World Conflict, thousands of ex-servicemen, as well as fathers, mothers, widows and others, each confident that the dust immortalized under the marble slab belongs to them, stand in silence as His Majesty places a wreath at the Tomb and salutes his Glorious Dead.
PARIS, France -- In glittering array, the French legions march in massed ranks to the Arc de Triomphe, where the President of the Republic and the leaders in civil and military life render stirring tribute to the sacred bones of the nation's "inconnu," who represents the millions of boys and men in horizon blue who fell at the Marne, along the Aisne, at Verdun and elsewhere.
HIGH COURT TO ACT IN GANGSTER CHIEFTAIN'S APPEAL FOR FREEDOM
ATLANTA, Ga. -- Al Capone, the Government's most celebrated prisoner, emerges from the gray and numbered obscurity of the U.S. penitentiary to hear attorneys argue before Federal Judge E. M. Underwood on a habeas corpus motion seeking his release. Whisked from his cell to the tribunal, where he sits for three or more hours, and then rushed back to prison, Chicago's former "public enemy No. 1" gets a fleeting taste of liberty. He bases his claim to freedom on the allegation he was convicted after statute of limitations had lapsed.
ELI SWAMPS CRIMSON 19-0 IN 51st GAME OF ANNUAL GRID CLASSIC
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- In a pouring rain that drenches the 50,000 spectators but does not dampen their spirits, the Yale football team rises to heights of glory over its ancient rival, Harvard. Ploughing through mud and gumbo and with a slippery field unequalled since the days of "Ducky" Pond, the Blue Warriors, led by Walter Levering, roll up three touchdowns. A 25-yard pass from Bob Lassiter to Parker in the first period paves the way for the first score by Levering. The same battering ram crashes through for another tally in the third period, and another long pass by Lassiter in the fourth sails into the arms of Marting, who romps to the goal posts unhindered. It's the Bulldog's greatest victory over the Cantabrigians since 1902.
ODD BITS IN TODAY'S NEWS
GIANT MODELS TEACH LORE OF VEGETABLES
HAWTHORNE, Cal. -- Ears of corn and cucumbers six feet tall, squash and pumpkins bigger than a barrel, and other farm products in proportion, are used by Mrs. Dorothy B. Fraizer to teach the youngsters of this thriving town the appearance and uses of garden edibles. No, it's not the climate this time. They're made of papier mache.
SPEED DEVILS OF GAY 90's "SCORCH" AGAIN
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- The original "bicycle built for two," and its ancestors, the big-wheel "bikes" of the Mauve Decade, as well as other odd foot-propelled fin-de-si��cle vehicles come out of barns and attics to be shown off, ridden and raced at the fifty-first annual reunion of the Harlem Wheelmen's Association in Central Park.
FLOUR AND FISTS FLY IN COLLEGIATE BRAWL
BROOKLYN, N. Y. -- The Freshmen lick the Sophs in the annual battle with paper-bag "grenades" and over-ripe tomatoes at Long Island University. Shirt tearing and pants snatching become a major strategy in the fray, making the struggle an approximation of a Greek museum gone haywire.
PASSIVE RESISTANCE GREETS POLICE RAID ON HOBO SETTLEMENT
SHANGHAI, China -- Hundreds of Chinese families, many driven from their Chapei homes by the Sino-Japanese "war" of last Winter, are made homeless again as their squatter's huts, built in unauthorized sections of the municipality, are torn down by official edict. Stunned and helpless, they stand by as public works crews, under the supervision of law enforcement officers, move their pitiful belongings into the open and make matchwood of their humble dwellings. It's just another bad turn of the wheel of fate for these unfortunates.
MEMORIAL TO WRIGHT BROTHERS REARED ON SITE OF FIRST FLIGHT
KITTY HAWK, N. C. -- Impressive ceremonies mark the unveiling of a granite pylon, 150 feet high, commemorating the feat of the two air pioneers in giving wings to man by their initial power-driven plane hop from Kill Devil Hill, December 17, 1903. In a heavy gale, with Army and Coast Guard airplanes roaring overhead, the shaft is dedicated by Ruth Nichols, noted flier, and Patrick Hurley, Secretary of War. Orville Wright, surviving member of the famous pair, is present, and receives a congratulatory message from President Hoover. The monument, erected by the Quartermaster Corps by Act of Congress, cost $275,000 and bears an air-ways beacon light as its pinnacle.
