Description

SUMMARY: FOR CHILD CARE - Her Royal Highness the Princess of Piedmont visits the Costanzo Ciano Sun Colony. This colony on the bank of the Po is one of three which the Fiat has established for the children of its 70,000 workers and employees. SPAIN -- MANEUVERS OF FRANCO'S MOORISH GUARD - The Caudillo's faithful Moorish Guard, composed of Moroccan warriors, engages in many exercises in the environs of Madrid. In a suggestive setting, quickly set up in a shady corner, equipped with pots and pans and pillows which the Morocco bands always carry with them, the Moors of the Guard prepare their customary aromatic tea flavored with many herbs in accordance with Moorish custom. Here they are launching an impetuous attack. RUSSIAN FRONT - A village is occupied. These are the conditions and these are the miserable hovels in which live the farmers whom the Soviets promised comforts and well being. Because of the Bolshevik law which permits free love, these poor boys known as Nobody's Children have been abandoned, and have not known a mother's cares or a father's affection. Documentation of happy Soviet Rule continues. A hospital for children. Children so undernourished as to resemble skeletons. Pity is mingled with horror. The churches have been turned into laboratories; the sacred icons were destroyed and replaced by machines. The advance of the German troops continues. Freed of the Bolshevik yoke, the population receives the troops with affectionate sympathy. Along impassable streets motorized columns and the infantry advance in a cloud of smoke. With the sign of the cross the nuns bless soldiers of civilization. Italian troops advance on the Eastern front. JAPAN - An open air performance arranged in Tokyo for wounded soldiers. The Italian Ambassador is present. A group of Geisha girls in their typical graceful dance. ITALIAN SUBMARINES IN THE ATLANTIC - Italian submarines make an important contribution to the battle inthe Atlantic for the counterblockade of England. Torpedoes are loaded on the submarine which makes preparations to start on a long cruise. Often such units are away from their home bases for months. In the meantime their method of breaking the major traffic lines is being studied at the base. The submarine leaves on its mission. After traveling a short time on the surface, it submerges. The officer of the watch scans the sea constantly. An entire convoy is sighted. To the battle stations. The prey shall not escape. The first commander takes his post at the periscope. A target is selected to launch a torpedo against. The submarine gets into launching position. A ship of the convoy is hit by fire. The escorting destroyers of the convoy begin to hunt the submarine. It is necessary to go down to maximum depth. The explosions of depth bombs shake the vessel. The hydrophones indicate all calm on the surface. The enemy destroyers have left. The danger is over. The submarine can now surface again. A ship is sighted, alone, and not worth wasting a torpedo on. The cannon will do and this second target is also hit. After a long cruise the submarine returns to its base.
