Woody Strode

Above, a feature on Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Strode, athlete and actor, who starred in "Sergeant Rutledge." Below, Poland prepares for war with Lithuania …  The forces of Generalissimo Francisco Franco bomb Barcelona while loyalist forces sink one of Franco’s cruisers … And former President Hoover, on a tour of Europe, says there won’t be a major war in the near future.  On the jump, prominent Austrian Jews commit suicide as the Nazification of the nation’s Jewish businesses proceeds … Anthony H.G. Fokker, who built German warplanes in World War I, predicts devastating attacks by hundreds of planes carrying 3,000 pounds of bombs in "the next war."

Quote of the Day: "There is a general realization everywhere, I think, that civilization as we know it cannot survive another great war." –Former President Herbert Hoover, on his tour of Europe
