New York Hails Halsey (Universal Newsreel, Dec 1945)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. NEW YORK HAILS HALSEY: NEW YORK - The fighting commander of the Third Fleet is accorded one of New York's traditional welcomes and travels the "Avenue of Heroes." Gotham gains another distinguished honorary citizen, as a snowstorm and a paper storm greet him. 2. RESCUE SHIP BRINGS GI'S: After adventurous sea trips, 1,100 GI's arrive in New York aboard the U.S.S. Saturnia. The soldiers were taken from vessels disabled in mid-ocean and towed to Bermuda. It was a close call, making home before Christmas. 3. JAPS LEAVE CHINA: SHANGHAI - First group of repatriates leaves Shanghai. Civilians and military alike are carefully searched for weapons and contraband. None are allowed to take more than 100 pounds of personal belongings back to Japan. 4. MOTORIZED GLIDER: LOS ANGELES - Gliding and soaring enthusiasts now have a machine that takes the work out of the sport. A 16-horsepower motor gets the glider off the ground and back home in case of adverse winds. 5. PILOTLESS AIRCRAFT: ATLANTIC CITY, NJ - For the first time the Navy reveals a radio controlled Hellcat and a PBY flying boat equipped with a winged bomb steered by remote radio. Both were used effectively against the Japs. 6. RAMS WIN GRID TITLE: CLEVELAND - The Rams win a thriller 15 to 14 from the Washington Redskins to take the National Professional Football Championship. A conversion kick that hit the cross bar and wobbled over, was the margin of victory, as 32,000 frigid fans yelled. (LOCAL – CANADA) CLOTHING FOR RELIEF. (LOCAL – CANADA) DANGEROUS EXPLOSIVE SUNK IN BAY.
