Universal Newsreel Volume 36, Release 28, Part 3

Description

The original release sheet reads: NEW YORK HAS NEWSPAPERS AFTER LONG STRIKE There's a front page story in New York as the presses roll once more after a 114-day blackout of the city's major newspapers. Once again the city rooms hum--the tickers click, the linotypes clank and the smell of printer's tape is in the air. The strike cost is estimated at $450,000,000 and the strikers won $12.63 weekly benefits. Housewives won, too-ever try to line a bureau drawer with a radio? GOTHAM WELCOMES KING HASSAN After an official reception in Washington, King Hassan of Morocco gets the traditional one in New York-a parade up lower Broadway to city hall. The 33-year-old monarch breaks with precedent and walks part of the way. "THE UGLY AMERICAN" FIRST FILM PREMIERE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA Marlon Brando, producer-director George Englund and H.K. Kukrit are the moving light behind "The Ugly American" which has its world premiere in Bagkok. President Milton Rackmil and Vice President Americo Aboaf of UNIVERSAL PICTURES are also in attendance as the King and Queen of Thailand preside at the gala premiere of a picture that promises to cause more talk than any motion picture in recent years. SPORTS THE GRAND NATIONAL That supreme event in steeple-chasing, The Grand National, sees 47 horses go to the post in this aintree classic. Gregory Peck has a horse entered, but he has better luck in the movies as "Out and About" leads most of the way over the 30 jumps and four-and-a-half mile turf course. At the finish, however, it's AYALA who comes out of nowhere to capture one of the most thrilling of all Grand Nationals.
