THE OMAHA BEE-NEWS, Nebraska, March 4, 1933 This 12 page newspaper has seven column headlines on the front page: "Roosevelt to Ask War Powers" "OMAHA BANKS CLOSE 3 DAYS!" with subheads.
This action would have the desired effect of stopping the panic run on the nation's banks, and happened the day after F.D.R. was inaugurated. One of the more historic issues from the Depression-era.
Other news of the day. Minor margin wear, otherwise in good condition.
