Inter-City Golden Gloves (Universal Newsreel, Mar 1951)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. INTER-CITY GOLDEN GLOVES: NEW YORK - The fightingest feud in boxing. Finals of the Inter-City Golden Gloves bouts between New York and Chicago. Two of the top bouts are shown in this slam-bang round-up of fisticuff thrills, with knock-downs and knockouts enlivening the proceedings. 2. DOUBLE TROUBLE IN THE ARMY: FORT LEWIS, WA - The Army is in for "double trouble" when nine sets of twins (count 'em, nine) show up in the very same outfit. Plenty tough on top sergeants and mess cooks when the eighteen soldiers line up for drill call, or swap places in the K.P. line. 3. SPOTLIGHT ON CRIME SENATE GROUP HEARS O'DWYER ACCUSED: NEW YORK - Completing its hearing into the alleged tie-in between Frank Costello and New York politics, Senator Kefauver's Crime Investigating Committee hears ex-Fireman Crane testify that he handed over $10,000 in cash to ex-Mayor O'Dwyer. Mister O'Dwyer, now U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, denies the accusation. Alleged gambler Costello is also on the stand for the last time and when asked what he has done for his adopted country, replies, "I paid my taxes." In a searching summation of the New York hearings, Spruille Braden of the Citizen Crime Commission says that the tie-up between crime and politics is undermining the moral fiber of America.
