Damage Heavy in Coast Riots (Universal Newsreel, Aug 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: DAMAGE HEAVY IN COAST RIOTS Five days of rioting in a negro section of Los Angeles have left behind scenes reminiscent of war-torn cities. More than a hundred square blocks were decimated by fire and by looters. Few building were left intact. As the National Guard moved in, 14,000 strong, fire damage alone is estimated at $200,000,000. No attempt has yet been made to arrive at the losses suffered in the hands of looters who stole everything from liquor to babies' play pens. Approximately 3,600 arrests were made. Only the arrival of the National Guard brought about comparative calm to the devastated area...Appalling. MARR WINS P.G.A. TITLE The richest Professional Golfers' Association tourney in history sees Dave Marr take the prized purse by two strokes. In 1964 the New York golfer placed 65th - last. But - it's different story this year as he makes the golfing comeback that has the Pro circuit buzzing. SHOW FASHIONS IN COLOR This Fall, dame fashion is putting her best foot forward (to borrow a phrase) High style photographers are hard at work to show you the reasons why...all in this full-color report. Only the color camera could do justice in bringing you the true beauty of these shoes...Corfam delights that will be right in step with Fall fashions.
