THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 4, 1938 

* Battle of Gettysburg 75th anniversary
* Eternal flame lite (1st report)
* Franklin D. Roosevelt - FDR


The front page has a three column headline: "ROOSEVELT 'WINNING' BATTLE 'FUNDAMENTAL AS LINCOLN'S'; 150,000 ON GETTYSBURG FIELD" with subheads that include: "Peace Flame Is Lighted" and more with text of President Roosevelt's speech. First report coverage continues on page 3 with related photos. (see) Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 28 pages, light toning at the margins, generally nice.
