Sunday, October 11, 1936. End of the Arab General Strike, Fascists attacks in London, War Concerns, Hermaphrodites.

The Arab Higher Committee announced an end to the 175-day-old Arab general strike in Palestine.

British fascists attacked Jewish shops and Jews in London's East End.  10,000 leftist demonstrated against fascism in Victoria Park.

The Rocky Mountain News warned of looming possibilities of war.


And FDR said the Republicans would ruin farmers.

Right then, right now.

It was the 1936 election season, of course, and the News was focusing on that.


It's interesting that FDR was polling very well with religious voters, which I suppose isn't really surprising.  It's also interesting that Wyoming, which is the least religious state in the U.S., was already in the solid GOP camp.

The news took a look at the history of third parties.


And a story sort of foreshadowing a controversial topic of the current era.

The News was huge on Sundays, although it featured very few cartoons, oddly enough.  It had a lot of feature sections.  I've omitted the one on "Sex Appeal In Exploration".

Saturday, October 10, 1936. Things going on in Central Europe.
