RAIL UNIONS AGREE TO 10% YEAR'S PAY CUT; ROADS SAVE $210,000,000
(98)
CHICAGO, Ill. -- With the aid of labor representatives, appearing for 20 standard union organizations, a proposal for wage "deductions" for one year aids the country's chief transportation lines to avert a difficult situation engendered by the promise of unchanged traffic rates. Under the agreement the roads promise to lend their aid in the stabilization of employment, to refrain from cutting down the existing force, and to attempt to provide for an increase in employment.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- Displaying the latest modes in bathing suits, men models dislodge their feminine rivals in the annual fashion parade at the ritzey Roony-Plaza palm garden, as wearing apparel moderators view their efforts with approving eyes. The latest decrees of expert designers for beach and drawing-room wear are shown to a large and appreciative audience. A triumph for the stronger sex in the one line in which the ladies formerly held the monopoly.

BOSTON, Mass. -- Struggling against the terrific west wind, ships from the Grand Banks and the Georges Banks off Newfoundland limp into port under a tremendous added weight of ice. Covered with frozen spray from topmast to water-line and stem to stern, the vessels reach the fish docks with their cargo destined for the markets of the nation. Burdened with the added loads of tons of ice, the crews work vigorously to bring their boats to a safe harbor.

NEW YORK, N.

While the marshal and his men engage in a rousing riot within the building, police are driven to extreme measures to restrain a gathering of 4,000 Communistic sympathizers. Under the protecting arm of the law the orders are carried out, and so is the furniture of the recalcitrant reds.

The treacherous route forces several contestants to quit, but Perry Rae, the Michigan flash, thunders through to Lake Howard, pounds on to the sandy beach and is hurled a distance of 50 feet to the finish tape to win the race. Thousands of spectators lining the banks are thrilled by the display of daring seamanship.

SHANGHAI, China -- With the Western nations aroused and anxiously awaiting developments in the Orient, British and American naval vessels stand by in the Whangpoo River, offshore from the International Settlement, where Japanese landing parties are carrying on an aggressive campaign against Chinese resistance. While Chapei is alive with embattled troops, U. S. sailors police the main thoroughfares of the Concession, prepared to protect American lives and industries. Meanwhile, 50 miles away in the Yangtze River, other U. S. and British gunboats mark time.

POMP AND CEREMONY ATTEND WORLD'S LAST MEMORIAL TO BRIAND
(149)
PARIS, France -- The roads of the Republic lead to the capital as the bier of the apostle of peace is borne up the thronged Champs Elysee to the Place de la Concorde where an impressive array of all the fighting forces of the country honors the former Premier in a ritual reserved by the nation for its greatest citizens. Soldiers on foot and horse, cadets of St. Cyr, statesmen and diplomats, file by the coffin in solemn reverence for the one-time Nobel prize-winner. All along the way from Quai d'Orsy to the little cemetery at Passy thousands upon thousands wait for the cortege to pass and to pay their last respects to an idol journeying to his final rest.
CHARITY PLAN BEGUN BY SOCIETY SWEEPS COUNTRY BY STORM
(161)
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- To relieve want resulting from unemployment, the nation's first families open the "Block-Aid" community campaign. Blanketing the metropolis, the appeal is made to persons of every station in life to buy stamps supporting the movement and bring comfort to depression victims. Winston Lloyd Smith, Mrs. William Averill Harriman, Mrs. L. H. Paul Chapin, John D. Rockefeller, 3rd, and Mrs. Alexander Hamilton are but a few of the elite who put their shoulders to the wheel and lend their personal influence by soliciting subscribers. A progressive earnest endeavor to end the troubles of the needy.

Meanwell, Wisconsin coach, and mentors representing every section of the country study the records of the season's stars and select the honor team. The resulting all-star line-up is: Richard Linthicum, University of California, Los Angeles Branch and Elwood Romney, Brigham Young U., forwards; Ed Krause, Notre Dame, center; John Wooden, Purdue and Louis Berger, Maryland U., guards. The first time the net immortals have been shown on the screen.

(89)
DUBLIN, Irish Free State -- Acting promptly on the campaign pledge of President de Valera, the Executive Council, controlled by the Fianna Fail, orders the doors of three prisons open to 20 inmates, incarcerated under the Public Safety Act by ex-President Cosgrave. News of the decision spreads rapidly over the city, causing impromptu demonstrations which culminate in a wild gathering of 40,000 approving Irish Republic advocates in College Green. Republican troops, banned by law from public appearances a few weeks ago, parade through the streets accepting the populace's plaudits.
SHIKAT'S SENSATIONAL WIN INTRODUCES NEW HOPE FOR MAT CROWN
(105)
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- After a gruelling 35 minutes of tortuous grappling the ex-champion pins the shoulders of the ponderous Pole, Leo Pinetzki, to the canvas, and earns the right to wrestle Jim Londos for the heavyweight title. The giant muscle-bender does not submit easily to the holds of the winner, but battles the leading contender to a standstill for most of the bout, until Shikat slips over a fast double headlock, twists the man-mountain around at his mercy and flops him down for a fall. The victory establishes Shikat as the logical title-bout claimant, and promises fireworks in the coming set-to.

DEARBORN, Mich. -- Henry Ford, father of the flivver, provides employment for a gigantic army of jobless men as the assembly-line of his Rouge River plant hums with activity in the development of his new type product. Mines, steel mills, and local factories are speeded up to top pitch to meet the demands of the market. The result, a departure in Lizzies, rolls out of the factory and is put through a rigid test on the "proving grounds," the first pictures of the mystery 8-cylinder car that has had people guessing for months.
MODERN YOUTH STILL UPHOLDS OLD SPIRIT OF "APRIL FOOLS" DAY
(104)
CHICAGO, Ill. -- The ancient holiday of practical jokers dawns with boys of all ages strutting their stuff in a fashion that would put their grandfathers to shame. Door-bell ringing and such old-fashioned pastimes prove too tame for the 1932-edition of foolers, who try their hand at mixing up traffic and plunging the city into darkness. But the strange antics of the kids seem only mildly entertaining when the cameraman tries his hand at playing tricks. (Some people call it fun, but it's only a headache to the editor.)

NEW LONDON, Conn. -- Garbed in wide bat-like wings, Edward E. Blain puts his device through a stiff trial to prove his theory of aviation. Short runs fail to lift him into the air, and a jump off a rock ends with the inventor flat on his face. But with supreme faith in his brain-child the designer mounts the railing of a bridge over the Thames River, for the final test. Fearlessly he leaps into the air, spreading the full width of his wings but his flight is horizontal and he is plunged rapidly to inglorious defeat into the icy waters below. And then the law steps in to accuse Blain of flying an unlicensed aircraft!
PRESIDENT HONORED AT EASTER SUNRISE MEMORIAL SERVICES
(131)
ARLINGTON, Va. -- Standing with head bared to the inclement weather, the Chief Executive and First Lady are hailed by the thousands who throng to the early ceremonial in the great marble amphitheatre at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The Grand Commandery of the Knights Templar, sponsors of the event, carrying their jeweled swords and wearing picturesque plumed hats, add to the impressiveness of the gathering.
While in New York City the traditional display of the season's modes on Fifth Avenue, attracting a horde of 200,000 spectators eager to see what Society wears to its devotions -- quite different from Easter scenes along the "Avenue" 40 years ago.
MAYOR DECREES AUTO VIOLATORS PAY FINES IN FOOD TO AID NEEDY
(242)
MARION, Ind. -- Chief Executive Jack Edwards inaugurates a novel method of insuring provisions for the destitute of his bailiwick. Following his orders, policemen keep a keen eye on motor-vehicle law-breakers and with each ticket goes a manifesto as to the nature of the fine. Mayor Edwards tempers his sentences according to the offense, but instead of varying the number of dollars he taxes the violators with varying quantities of staple groceries, vegetables, and meats. A practical manner of solving a difficult problem.

(96)
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Tons of food pile up at the headquarters of the Emergency Unemployment Relief Committee under Harvey Gibson's direction, as the house-keepers of the country rally to succor their neighbors in distress. Hampers in shops and stores gather a willing public's donations of provisions, all eager to do their bit for people impoverished by the depression. Contributions are gathered by workers and distributed to the most needy. A bright ray of hope in troublous times.
150,000 WORKERS PLEDGE PARTY SOLIDARITY IN HUGE DEMONSTRATION
(83)
VIENNA, Austria -- Quiet and dignified, the Social-Democrats fill the streets of the city, which their party rules, in a gigantic display of strength. Unmarred by the riots and violent outbursts that have marked similar outpourings by radical groups, here and in other countries, this huge massing of forces is carried off without a disquieting incident. Down the Ringstrasse and to the Town Hall flows wave on wave of humanity in one of the most electrifying demonstrations the nation has experienced in years.
POULTRYMEN UNITE IN WORLD'S LARGEST EGG HATCHERIES PROJECT

BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- Chicken farmers of the state combine for the operation of a vast breeding plant under the aegis of the Co-operative Chick Association. Incubators with a capacity of 50,000 eggs each turn out an average of 10,000 birds a day. The shells crack with such rapidity that a large staff is required to remain constantly on the watch to get the precious day-old chicks to the brooders. Packed in specially constructed crates, they are shipped by truck to their destinations. A new slant on a new industry.

(127)
FLORENCE, Italy -- Garbed in the colorful costumes of the 16th century the traditional football contest from which the modern gridiron game developed is again portrayed before a host of royal personages in the famed Piazza della Signora. Legend says the bitterly fought battle was waged during the period when the city fell and became the duchy of Tuscany. A picturesque pageant participated in by the entire populace precedes the game, waged between the forces of both sides of the River Arno, which climaxes the momentous day.

SAUGUS, Cal. -- Champions of the whole southwest gather here for a test of motorcycle skill that finds most of the boys sprawled over the landscape attempting to scale the treacherous 76 percent grade. Straining at every muscle and pushing their wheels to the limit, the daring pilots drive steadily onward in spite of frequent set-backs. Gene Rhyne, of Springfield, Mass., and "Windy" Lindstrom, Oakland comet, both national title-holders, match their skill in the keen competition. The coast flash mounts the thorny summit in the record time of 8 3/5 secs., to scamper off with the meet laurels.

HOPEWELL, N. J. -- After two months of tension marked by frequent rumors and hopeless clues, police of the state and nation are brought to an abrupt halt within a few miles of the Lone Eagle's mountain retreat, as a common laborer stumbles across the skeleton of the child, stolen in the night from his nursery. The search over, officials and laymen of the world bow their heads in sorrow over the sad fate of the most loved child in the country. The heart-breaking termination of the country's most fiendish crime.

PARIS, France--Along the two-mile route from the Elysee Palace to the Cathedral of Notre Dame sad throngs line the streets with heads bowed in grief as the cortege that carries their murdered leader, Paul Doumer, to his final rest moves impressively onward.
