F.D.R. launches the first rural resettlement project, offering new homes and new lives to hundreds of poverty-blighted farm families. Crowds of dirt farmers greet Roosevelt as he drives by in car. Roosevelt waves from car. CU man in hat chewing tobacco. Crowds stand outside listening to President Roosevelt as he states: "Your Government and I say to you - You cannot borrow your way out of debt, but you can invest your way into a sounder future." The first slum-clearance municipal housing is dedicated in New York city by Mrs. Roosevelt as Gov. Lehmen and Mayor LaGuardia look on. Tenements. Mrs. Roosevelt cuts tape. At a special convocation of Notre Dame University, Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago states the position of the Catholic Church on politics. In Miami, a daredevil birdman defies gravity to plummet 8,000 feet in a daring acrobatic display... Clem Sohn shows off birdman suit. | |
