Spanish Demonstration (Universal Newsreel, Dec 1946)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. SPANISH DEMONSTRATION: MADRID - More than half a million Spaniards assemble in public squares to demonstrate in behalf of their government and to support the Franco regime, which has been ostracized by United Nations action. 2. CLOTHING FOR ABORIGINALS: FORMOSA - Trucks loaded with UNRRA clothing set out for isolated native villages in the remote hinterland of this island, to help clothe thousands of semi-civilized aboriginals whom the Japs could never subjugate. 3. TRANSPORT A LA KING: ENGLAND - Special trains for a royal tour of South Africa, and a new limousine for the royal family, provide transportation a la king. The new coaches and new auto are the last word in British craftsmanship. 4. REBELLION OF RAGPICKERS: PARIS - "Trumps," the city's nocturnal ragpickers who go through the streets at night collecting old rags and paper for scrap salvage, win victory over local ordinance banning their trade. So, it's back to work! 5. TUNA FISHING IN SPAIN: ALICANTE - The catch is a record one—and the sea yields a net crop! By the netful, Spanish fishermen haul in the big ones, and it's plenty of work as you'll see in these colorful films. 6. UTAH BASKETEERS WIN: NEW YORK - In a spectacular basketball razzle-dazzle at the Garden, the Blitz Kids of Utah keep in season form by administering a 62-48 defeat to the St. John's Five. Somebody wins—and somebody loses.
