(104)
WASHINGTON, D. C. -- Hundreds wait in line all night to shake the hand of the nation's Chief Executive, and the First Lady, in the traditional White House reception.

The Spirit of Olympia, bringing to mind the international athletic games to be held this year, proves to be one of the most interesting floats, but to the city of San Marino goes the distinction of the most beautiful entry. An Australian lyre bird made from sweet peas and China lilies wins the grand sweepstakes award.

GLENDORE, Miss. -- The overflow of the Tallahatchie River catches residents of this entire locality by surprise, flooding the streets and marooning hundreds in water-locked homes. Submerged farms are deserted and prisoners from penal institutions are brought to the stricken region to stem the tide of the rising water, and save homes from further damage. A tremendous property loss is incurred by the whole community.
STUDENTS HOLD WAR MEETING IN DEFIANCE OF GOVERNMENT BAN
(77)
SHANGHAI, China -- Fu Tan University students gather and select a group representing them to journey to Nanking to lay their objection before President Chiang. In direct opposition to the dictates of the government leaders, the young men and women adopt a set of demands advocating among other things, the immediate declaration of war against Japan. While police guards keep a careful watch on the students, the detachment boards a train for the capital -- without paying fares -- where they noisily lay their ultimatum before the administration.
TULANE SUBDUED BY TROJAN GRIDDERS IN CLASSIC STRUGGLE
(212)
PASADENA, Cal. -- The football season is climaxed by the thrilling battle between the Southern champions and the Far Western leaders in the annual Tournament of Roses game. Living up to their reputation as a powerful team on the offensive, Southern California drives the Green Wave to a 21-12 defeat. But the Greenies fight to the last ditch. In the final quarter Don Zimmerman finally gets his overhead game going on all cylinders and drops a pass into Jerry Dalrymple's hands for a score and follows it closely with another touchdown over a similar route. But the Southern gentlemen start too late, and the mythical national championship goes to the West Coast eleven.

SPECTACULAR THRONG ACCLAIMS DECENNIAL OF FASCIST FOUNDING
ROME, Italy -- A veritable sea of "black shirts" greets Mussolini in the immense Piazza Venezia upon the occasion of the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the March to Rome. From three directions, long columns of hierarchs, militiamen and veterans of the "insurrection" file into the square until 25,000 men are massed before the speaker's tribune. 20,000 banners and war flags wave a welcome to Il Duce. Hardly does Italy's Iron Man start his panegyric of Fascism when the rain comes down in torrents, driving all to cover and putting a sudden end to the Premier's long awaited "report" of the accomplishments of his party during the first decade of its existence.
U.S. CAVALRY ADOPTS MODERN VERSION OF ANCIENT RUSS SPORT
CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Kav-Kas, an old Cossack game resembling basketball but played on horse-back, is being revived by mounted units of the Army Reserve and promises to be the outstanding thrill in riding circles during the coming winter. It is considered the roughest of all pastimes, so dangerous in fact, that married men usually are barred. In a whirlwind demonstration tilt, the Yellow Jackets (officers) of the 107th Cavalry Regiment, take the Blue Jackets (enlisted men) into camp by a score of 6-5, and with almost as many casualties as scores. The principal rules of the contest are "ride--hold--pass--and don't get your neck broken."
THRILLING REALISM MARKS ANALYSIS OF GRAIN BLAST PERILS
WASHINGTON, D. C. -- Amazing demonstrations of the terrific force of dust explosions are made by the chemical engineering experts of the United States Department of Agriculture at the Arlington Experimental Station, in an attempt to study the causes of the frequent catastrophes of a similar nature in industrial establishments. Powdered wheat, starch and cork are used as "charges," detonated by an electric spark. Impounded in a structure representing a grain elevator or a factory, the "discharge" blows out windows and doors and gives vivid evidence of the danger lurking in pulverized vegetable matter. There are 28,000 plants in this country employing more than a million persons, where this hazard exists. The spectacular government tests seek to eliminate this menace.
PEAT BED DISCOVERY IN VACANT CITY LOT PROVES BOON TO IDLE
CHICAGO, Ill. -- A "rush" to dig winter fuel, almost as hectic as a gold rush, takes thousands of unemployed men and their families to the low-lying marshy sections of the city where the turf, when cut and dried, has been found to be worth twice its weight in coal for heat-giving qualities. The lucky "find" means warm hearths in countless homes otherwise doomed to a season of suffering. By bucket-loads and by the bagful, the jobless are laying in bountiful supplies of the combustible bog-earth.
THREE NATIONS JOIN IN RITES ATTENDING WAR MEMORIAL GIFT
LILLE, France -- An elaborate belfry is dedicated here in commemoration of the city's deliverance from alien hands after its long occupation by the enemy in the World War. Detachments, including the band, of the Royal British Guards, imposing in their immense bearskin hats, the French Republican Guard and a regiment d'elite from Brussels, take part in the impressive ceremonies, which include the placing of wreaths by the English warriors as a tribute to their comrades who fell in the great struggles for the possession of this industrial center.
G.O.P. SEES HOOVER RE-ELECTION AFTER MANHATTAN SPEECH
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- As the climax of his campaign, the President carries the fight into enemy territory and uses his heaviest ammunition on his political opponents before a crowd of 20,000 that jams the vast Madison Square Garden to the eaves. Loud speakers take his words to over-flow meetings and a national hook-up makes it country-wide. A monster gathering in Newark in the afternoon and an elaborate and wildly demonstrative parade from the Pennsylvania Station to the great sports arena in the evening, precede his Gotham platform appearance. The high-light of the Republican candidate's pre-election activities -- a clarion call to his supporters that is expected to turn the tide in his favor.
DEMOCRATS PREDICT ROOSEVELT VICTORY AS CAMPAIGN CLOSES
BOSTON, Mass. -- Following upon the heels of "Al" Smith, the idol of New England Democracy who prepared the way for his former rival, the Governor of New York makes his greatest pre-election speech before a giant mass meeting that fills the Boston Arena until it bulges. As the high-light of a two-day swing through the Northeastern States, the major stronghold of Republicanism, the Democratic candidate drives the crowd into a frenzy by his withering fire against the opposition's doctrines and deeds. Radio carries his assault to every fire-side in the nation and his party's seers, judging the strength of his logical and impassioned appeal, say his success is assured.
