THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 2, 1934

* Sergey Kirov assassination (1st report)
* Bolshevik leader in Soviet Union
* Communist Party - Leningrad, Russia


The top of the front page has two column headings: "SLAYER CAPTURED AFTER HE SHOOTS RUSSIAN OFFICIAL" and "Assassin of Sergei Kiroff Sent by Enemies of Working Class...." (see) First report coverage continues on page 30 with photo. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 40 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Minor creasing, very nice condition.
