1933 Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition
The Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition was part of the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. The Fair's theme that year was a Century of Progress, and celebrated man's innovations in architecture, science, technology and transportation. The "Homes of Tomorrow" exhibition was one of the most noteworthy exhibits of the Fair, and showcased man's modern innovations in architecture, design, and building materials.


1933 Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition
In addition to several unique art deco and contemporary designs for a dozen model homes, futuristic home furnishings and accoutrements such as a personal helicopter pad were anticipated. Several architects and firms used the model homes to demonstrate their techniques for the pre-fabricated home and new materials. Baked enamel and Rostone — a man-made type of masonry that could be molded into specific shapes and produced in various colors — were hailed as affordable and durable home construction options.


1933 Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition
Five of the houses exist today viewable to the public, as the Century of Progress Architectural District.


1933 Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition, Exhibits
The following homes were showcased in the exhibit which ran the duration of the fair:

The original homes have survived the last 75 years on the shores of Lake Michigan and are being restored through a partnership between the National Park Service, Indiana, the Indiana Landmarks, and private individuals. As visitors passed through the homes during the fair, many bought plans and erected the designs in other states.

1933 Imperial Airways Diksmuide crash
On 28 March 1933, an Armstrong Whitworth Argosy II passenger aircraft, named City of Liverpool and operated by British airline Imperial Airways, crashed near Diksmuide, Belgium, after suffering an onboard fire; all fifteen people aboard were killed, making it the deadliest accident in the history of British civil aviation to that time. It has been suggested that this was the first airliner ever lost to sabotage, and in the immediate aftermath, suspicion centred on one passenger, Albert Voss, who seemingly jumped from the aircraft before it crashed.


1933 Imperial Airways Diksmuide crash, Accident
The aircraft was employed on Imperial's regular London–Brussels–Cologne route, which it had flown for the previous five years. On this leg of the journey the plane was travelling from Brussels to London, which route would take it north from Brussels heading over Flanders before crossing the coast for the 50-mile (80 km) flight across the English Channel and then making the brief traverse over the Kent countryside to land at Croydon Airport in Surrey. The two-hour journey began, slightly delayed, just after 12:30 pm.


1933 Imperial Airways Diksmuide crash, Accident
While flying over the fields of northern Belgium, the plane was seen by onlookers to catch fire before losing altitude and plunging into the ground. As the aircraft began its descent, a passenger was seen to exit the aeroplane and fall to earth without a parachute. He was later identified as Albert Voss, a German who had emigrated to the United Kingdom, where he practised as a dentist in Manchester. At approximately 200 feet (60 m), the aircraft split into two sections which hit the ground separately, instantly killing all those still on board.


1933 Imperial Airways Diksmuide crash, Investigation and inquest
The subsequent investigation found that the fire had started towards the rear of the plane, in either the lavatory or the luggage area at the back of the cabin. No items recovered from the front portion of the wreckage showed any evidence of fire damage before the impact, nor was there any evidence of fire in the engines or fuel systems. The investigators narrowed the cause down to the firing of some combustible substance, either accidentally by a passenger or crew member or through vibration or some other natural occurrence, or deliberately by bombing.


1933 Imperial Airways Diksmuide crash, Investigation and inquest
At the inquest into Albert Voss's death at least one witness, his estranged brother, accused him of being culpable, claiming that Voss's business trips to the continent to buy anaesthetics masked a lucrative sideline in drug smuggling. This rumour had followed Voss for some time before his death and was alleged to have been the subject of investigations by the Metropolitan Police. Voss, according to his brother, was travelling aboard the aircraft together with his niece, and they were aware that the authorities were on to them.


1933 Imperial Airways Diksmuide crash, Investigation and inquest
Under this theory, Voss sought to escape from the authorities by destroying the aircraft using various flammable substances to which his work gave him easy access and then bailing out in the confused circumstances, hoping that in the aftermath no one would notice one fewer body than there should have been. An autopsy showed that, other than some minor burns, Voss was unharmed before he exited the aircraft.


1933 Imperial Airways Diksmuide crash, Investigation and inquest
The inquest jury eventually returned an open verdict – indicating that they believed his death may not have been accidental, but that they were unable, on the evidence before them, to come to a definite conclusion – rather than the verdict of accidental death the coroner attempted to direct them towards.


1933 Imperial Airways Ruysselede crash
The 1933 Imperial Airways Ruysselede crash occurred on 30 December 1933 when an Imperial Airways Avro Ten collided with one of the  radio mast of Belradio at Ruysselede, West Flanders, Belgium and crashed killing all ten people on board. The aircraft was operating an international scheduled passenger flight from Cologne, Germany to London, England via Brussels, Belgium.


1933 Imperial Airways Ruysselede crash, Aircraft
The accident aircraft was Avro Ten registration G-ABLU, c/n 528. The aircraft had entered service with Imperial Airways in May 1931 and having served for a time with Iraq Petroleum Transport Co., it had returned to Imperial Airways. The aircraft was named Apollo.


1933 Imperial Airways Ruysselede crash, Accident
Operating a flight from Cologne, Germany to Croydon Airport, United Kingdom via Haren Airport, Brussels, Belgium, the aircraft departed at 12:20 local time (11:20 GMT), which was 20 minutes later than scheduled. As a result of fog, the aircraft was flying on a route to the north of its normal route. At 13:15, whilst flying at an altitude of 250 feet (76 m), it crashed into a guy wire of the 870 feet (270 m) tall radio mast at Ruysselede, which was illuminated at the time. The top section of the mast was demolished.


1933 Imperial Airways Ruysselede crash, Accident
The aircraft lost a wing and crashed. Four workers at the radio station rushed to the aid of those on board the aircraft, as did twelve villagers from Ruysselede. At least one passenger was seen to have survived the crash. There was an explosion and the wreckage of the aircraft was burnt out. The rescuers all suffered burns.


1933 Imperial Airways Ruysselede crash, Casualties
All ten passengers and crew on the aircraft were killed. Four rescuers suffered burns.


1933 Imperial Airways Ruysselede crash, Investigation
The accident was investigated by Belgian authorities. The British Accidents Investigation Branch sent a representative to assist in the investigation.


1933 Imperial Airways Ruysselede crash, Awards
The relatives of one of the victims praised the bravery of one of the rescuers, and pressed for him to be rewarded for his courage. King Albert I awarded Camille van Hove the Civic Cross (1st Class) for his efforts in attempting to rescue the victims of the crash. Mr van Hove received serious burns and was still in hospital in Bruges at the time the award was notified. Nine other rescuers were given rewards of money.

1933 Indianapolis 500, Race details, "Will Overhead"
In 1933, one of the more famous bits of Indy 500 nostalgia occurred. Telegraph was still being used to transmit race information to newspapers and other outlets across the United States. George Zanaon, a typesetter for The World-Independent newspaper in the town of Walsenburg, Colorado was preparing a story for that day's Indianapolis 500. Since Memorial Day was a holiday, his young editor John B. Kirkpatrick was alone monitoring the Associated Press wire for race updates. The race took several hours to complete, and the AP wire was shut down prior to the finish. Fitzpatrick had nearly the entire story ready for print, minus the winner of the race. A helpful AP editor in Denver advised him that he would send the name of the winner via Western Union telegraph.


1933 Indianapolis 500, Race details, "Will Overhead"
The telegraph Kirkpatrick received, in typical newspaper shorthand lingo was: "WILL OVERHEAD WINNER OF INDIANAPOLIS 500," meaning that he would send the information by telegraph when the information was available. The young editor misunderstood the jargon in the message, and interpreted it as saying a driver named Will Overhead was the winner. The headline read "Will Overhead won the Indianapolis Memorial Day race today. At the two hundred fifty mile post Babe Stapp was leading the string of racing cars, but gave way to Overhead on then last half of the 500 mile grind." The true winner was Louis Meyer. The gaffe put the town of Walsenburg, and The World-Independent newspaper (now known as the Huerfano World Journal), on the map in racing circles.

1933 Iraqi parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Iraq in 1933 to elect the members of the Chamber of Deputies. Although the Government Bloc led by incumbent Prime Minister Naji Shawkat won the most seats, it quickly disintegrated after the elections, allowing Rashid Ali al-Gaylani to become Prime Minister.


1933 Iraqi parliamentary election, Background
Prime Minister Nuri al-Said submitted his resignation to King Faisal on 27 October 1932. The resignation was accepted on the following day. Faisal selected Naji Shawkat to form a new government on 3 November 1932. Although the resignation of al-Said was supposedly at his own behest, it was Faisal who had requested his resignation. He wished to reduce the influence of al-Said, who had established good relationships with the British government after signing the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty of 1930, as well as gaining support from the moderate opposition which opposed the treaty.


1933 Iraqi parliamentary election, Background
The government of Shawkat was seen as a compromise government that would achieve a balance between pro-British policies and opposition demands, and clear the political congestion caused by the signing the 1930 treaty. The new government sought to dissolve parliament (in which al-Said retained a majority) to calm the general public and limit al-Said's influence.


1933 Iraqi parliamentary election, Background
Al-Said tried to dissuade Naji Shawkat from dissolving parliament by promising his party's support for the Shawkat government. However, Faisal and the new Prime Minister were determined to press ahead and a royal decree was issued for that purpose on 8 November 1932. Al-Said tried to block the decision by instructing his party's deputies not to attend the parliamentary session in which the royal decree was to be announced, but that was not able to prevent the government and Faisal from proceeding in dissolving  parliament on 8 October.


1933 Iraqi parliamentary election, Background
Al-Said subsequently held a meeting with his party's leadership on 10 October. The leadership issued a statement denouncing the dissolution and decided to send a memorandum to Faisal, claiming that the dissolution was illegitimate. Faisal tried to keep al-Said away from Iraq by appointing him as the country's representative to the League of Nations on 16 November 1932.


1933 Iraqi parliamentary election, Election process
Shawkat's government had four months from the date of parliament's dissolution to hold new elections in accordance with article 40 of the constitution. Therefore the government selected 10 December 1932 as the date for electing the secondary voters that would elect the new parliament deputies early in 1933.


1933 Iraqi parliamentary election, Results
Shawkat's government did not have a formal party, but endorsed a list of independent candidates that came to be known as the "government bloc". This bloc won 72 of the 88 seats, however this majority did not hold as the bloc began to disintegrate after the parliament  convened on 8 March 1933. The National Brotherhood Party led by Yasin al-Hashimi and Rashid Ali al-Gaylani and members of the Iraqi National Party, led by Jafar Abu al-Temman  participated in the elections as an opposition alliance, winning a minority of seats. Al-Said's Covenant party faded away.


1933 Iraqi parliamentary election, Government formation
After the elections, Shawkat tried to expand his government by including elements from the moderate opposition such as al-Hashimi and Hikmat Sulayman. However, he failed to do so as the opposition started to grow, and his parliamentary bloc started to disintegrate. He submitted his resignation to Faisal on 18 March 1933, which was accepted. Faisal subsequently chose  al-Gaylani on 20 March to form a new government.


1933 Iraqi parliamentary election, Aftermath
Shawkat's government decision to endorse a group of independent "Government Bloc" candidates rather than having a formal party began a new tradition in Iraqi politics. The government would rely on their support to stay in power and pass laws. However, there were no guarantees that these candidates would stay loyal to the government after elections. Subsequently it was common for the deputies to change their political affiliation from one party to another, or move from pro-government to opposition and vice versa.


1933 Irish Greyhound Derby
The 1933 Irish Greyhound Derby took place during August and September with the final being held on 2 September 1933 at Shelbourne Park in Dublin.


1933 Irish Greyhound Derby
The 1933 Irish Derby was awarded to Shelbourne Park once again by the Irish Coursing Club (ICC). The Harold's Cross Stadium management were left angered after missing out again on the event. Mr Tynan representing the track had pointed out that the previous year Paddy O’Donoghue had promised that they could hold the event in 1933.

Fisher claimed that Head Play had won and that Brokers Tip should have been disqualified. Meade, when interviewed 50 years later, said, "I couldn't push him away from me because he had ahold of me, so I had to get ahold of him. So from there down to the wire, that's what it was - grab and grab and grab."

1933 Kilmarnock by-election, Vacancy
The vacancy had arisen when Scotland's second most senior judge, the Lord Justice Clerk, Lord Alness, retired. It was a long-standing convention that when a vacancy arose in this office (or in the most senior judicial office, that of Lord President), the Lord Advocate (head of the Scottish criminal justice system) of the day would be appointed to fill the vacancy. The Lord Advocate in 1933 was Sir Craigie Mason Aitchison, K.C., M.P., and so he was appointed to the bench, automatically resigning his seat.


1933 Kilmarnock by-election, Vacancy
Aitchison had been elected as a member of the Labour Party in a 1929 by-election following the death of Robert Climie. In 1931, the Labour Government had split, with a handful of Labour MPs, including Aitchison, following Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald into a coalition National Government with the Conservatives. These MPs were expelled from the Labour Party and called themselves National Labour.

1933 Long Beach earthquake
The 1933 Long Beach earthquake took place on March 10 at 5:54 P.M. PST south of downtown Los Angeles. The epicenter was offshore, southeast of  Long Beach, California, on the Newport–Inglewood Fault. The earthquake had a magnitude estimated at 6.4 Mw, and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe). Damage to buildings was widespread throughout Southern California. It resulted in 115 to 120 fatalities and an estimated forty million dollars' worth of property damage, equivalent to $800 million in 2020. The majority of the fatalities resulted from people running out of buildings exposing themselves to the falling debris.


1933 Long Beach earthquake, Damage
The major damage occurred in the densely populated city of Long Beach on the south-facing coast of Los Angeles County. However, the damage was also found to have extended to the industrial area south of downtown Los Angeles. The magnitude of the earthquake is considered to be medium but a significant amount of damage was left due to unfavorable geological conditions (landfill, water-soaked alluvium) combined with poorly constructed buildings. In Long Beach, buildings collapsed, water tanks fell through roofs, and houses were tossed off their foundations. School buildings were among the structures that incurred the most severe damage. It was recognized that unreinforced masonry bearing walls was the reason that  school buildings suffered so much damage in the wake of the earthquake.


1933 Long Beach earthquake, Aftermath
The earthquake highlighted the need for earthquake-resistant design for structures in California. Many school buildings were damaged, with more than 230 school buildings that either were destroyed, suffered major damage, or were judged unsafe to occupy. The California State Legislature passed the Field Act on April 10, 1933, mandating that school buildings must be earthquake-resistant. If the earthquake had occurred during school hours, the death toll would have been much higher.


1933 Long Beach earthquake, Aftermath
This earthquake prompted the government to play an active role in disaster relief. The government created the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, providing loans for the reconstruction of buildings that were affected during the natural disaster. The California State legislature passed the Field act as a response to the earthquake. The field act made it mandatory that building designs must be based on high-level building standards adopted by the state and are also enforced by independent plan review and inspection. The Bureau of Public Roads also took action to rebuild roads, highways, and bridges.


1933 Long Beach earthquake, Aftermath
The economy of Long Beach was able to return to normal swiftly because of the rise of the aircraft industry. To support the World War II efforts, Long Beach created naval yards and increased the number of aircraft produced. This directly helped Long Beach repair and stabilize the economy after the disaster.


1933 Long Beach earthquake, Cause
A 2016 press release by the United States Geological Survey indicates that research shows the 1933 Long Beach earthquake may have been man-made, caused by oil and gas extraction underneath the city. Further studies indicate that several, if not most earthquakes during the peak years of Los Angeles's oil boom were likely caused by tectonic stress induced by methods used at the time which did not replace the millions of barrels of removed oil with other liquids.


1933 Long Beach earthquake, Appearances in documentaries and popular culture

1933 Lyttelton by-election
The Lyttelton by-election of 1933 was a by-election held during the 24th New Zealand Parliament in the Christchurch electorate of Lyttelton. It is notable for being won by Elizabeth McCombs of the New Zealand Labour Party, who became the first woman to be elected to the New Zealand Parliament. This by-election was therefore seen as a milestone in Women's suffrage in New Zealand.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Cause of by-election
This by-election came about because of the death of James McCombs who was Elizabeth McCombs's husband. He had held the electorate of Lyttelton since he won it in the Lyttelton by-election of 1913. He was therefore one of the earliest members of the Labour party to hold an electorate. He died of a heart attack on 2 August 1933.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Candidates and selection process, Labour Party
Despite the electorate of Lyttelton being held by Labour or its predecessor the Social Democrats since 1913, the electorate was seen as marginal as it had been won by just 32 votes at the 1931 general election. However, the Labour Party were confident of retaining the electorate as they pledged reforms that would help those affected by the Great Depression. The Labour party chose to select Elizabeth McCombs who had previously been elected to the Christchurch City Council in 1921 and had stood for Labour in Kaiapoi and then Christchurch North in the 1928 and the 1931 respectively.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Candidates and selection process, Labour Party
McCombs was unanimously selected as the Labour party candidate. Nine other women had stood for parliament in New Zealand since they had been allowed to in 1919, while women gained the right to vote in 1893. It was not uncommon for family members to take over parliamentary electorates upon the death of a family member. For example, Vincent Ward had taken over from his father Joseph in the Invercargill electorate in 1930.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Candidates and selection process, Coalition Government
The United and Reform parties were at this stage in a coalition. The Christchurch executives unanimously suggested that Frederick W. Freeman be accepted as their candidate. He had already been the Reform party candidate in the 1931 general election, losing by just 32 votes against James McCombs. Minister of Finance and Acting Prime Minister Gordon Coates as leader of Reform, and the Minister of Lands, Alfred Ransom, on behalf of United, accepted the recommendation on behalf of the coalition and endorsed Freeman's selection.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Candidates and selection process, Coalition Government
Freeman was born in Christchurch in 1881 and educated locally. After a term of legal work, he trained as a surveyor and later became a civil engineer. He was a commissioner of the Waimakariri River Trust and an elected member of the Heathcote County Council. He had held leading positions with the Canterbury Automobile Association, the South Island Motor Union, and had been a director for an insurance company. At the time of the by-election, he was an executive member of the Canterbury Progress League, a councillor for the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the Arthur's Pass National Park Board.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Candidates and selection process, Independent
Edward L. Hills was described as the unknown factor prior to the by-election. A young man of considerable vitality, he was described as the best speaker of the three candidates. He was involved in trade unions in Christchurch and had been a member of the Labour Party, but he resigned on 1 August 1933 (the day before James McCombs' death) as the Woolston branch of Labour did not support his nomination for the selection ballot for the next general election. He thus contested the by-election as an Independent.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Election campaign
McCombs's campaign was dominated by the fact that she was a woman. She chose to address this issue head on by using "Vote the first woman to the New Zealand Parliament" as her campaign slogan. Although it appears that the major newspapers had few worries about electing a woman, many people did. The leader of the Labour Party, Harry Holland, attended some of the campaign meetings in support of McCombs. McCombs was received favourably at various meetings; many attendees were, unsurprisingly, women.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Election campaign
Freeman received considerable support with his campaign from the coalition government. William Bodkin and Walter Broadfoot, United Party Members of Parliament representing the Otago Central and Waitomo electorates, respectively, were both present and campaigning on Hills' behalf. They were not received very favourably, though. One of Broadfoot's meetings in Lyttelton for women was attended by only five electors. A later meeting in the Labour stronghold of Woolston was much better frequented, with 200 attendees busy interjecting him during his speech. That meeting was concluded with a formal thanks to the speaker, and three cheers for McCombs. Bodkin had a more orderly meeting in Cashmere.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Election campaign
Freeman himself was well received. At a meeting in St Martins, he addressed an audience of 50. A motion was passed to record "thanks and confidence", and an amendment to delete the word 'confidence' from the motion was defeated.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Election campaign
Hills was reported as saying: "I believe the same as Hitler believes, that woman's place is in the home", and further that "I believe the difficulties of the country are too great for women to grapple with." Many letter writers to the press were also unimpressed at the prospect of having a woman in parliament.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Election campaign
Hills was criticised at election meetings that he would split the Labour vote. He was also asked whether he received money from somebody for standing in the election, insinuating that the conservative candidate might possibly have an interest in the vote of the working class being split.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Election campaign
The election campaign was also seen as important because of the Great Depression that New Zealand was experiencing and was viewed to be a referendum on the government's response.

"I am proud to be the first woman to be elected to our Parliament" McCombs said upon her victory. "It will be my endeavour to live up to the tradition the women of New Zealand have established for taking their full share of the burden of government." Despite heavy rain, this speech was delivered in front of 2000 supporters in Cathedral Square. It is unclear how much bearing her being a woman had on her being elected given that the swing to her was similar to the swing to labour in the 1935 general election. Her time in parliament would however only last two years as she died on 7 June 1935 of ill health. Her electorate was taken over by her son Terry McCombs in the Lyttelton by-election of 1935.


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Legacy
Elizabeth McCombs is still remembered today. New Zealand's first woman prime minister to gain her position at an election, Helen Clark, said:


1933 Lyttelton by-election, Legacy
"Elizabeth McCombs made history when she was elected as New Zealand's first woman member of Parliament, New Zealand women had waited a long time for that day. Her election came 40 years after women gained the right to vote. As a Labour Prime Minister and leader of the New Zealand Labour Party, I am very proud of Elizabeth McCombs' historic first. I see it as one of many steps in the political progress of women in our country which made it possible for me to become leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister."

1933 Maccabiah Games
The 1st Winter Maccabiah (Hebrew: מכביית החורף הראשונה; Polish: Pierwsza zimowa Makabiada) was held in Zakopane, Poland from February 2 to 5, 1933. Coincidentally, the opening ceremony took place two days after Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor (January 30, 1933).


1933 Maccabiah Games, History
Following the successful games of the 1st Maccabiah in 1932, there was a growing interest in winter sports among the European nations. The Maccabi federation of Poland was in charge of organizing the Winter Maccabiah. In the 1930s, that federation was strongest pillar of the Maccabi World Union, consisting of 30,000 Jewish athletes members. The games were met with great opposition; the Gazeta Warszawska newspaper encouraged Polish youth to intervene during the games to prevent the "Jewification of Polish winter sports venues".


1933 Maccabiah Games, Opening ceremony
The opening ceremony for the games took place at the Stadium in Zakopane on February 2, 1933. Lord Melchett, honorary president of the World Maccabi Organization, did not attend the ceremony; instead he sent his blessing and an apology - a large statue depicting the persecution of Jews resistance to anti-semitism through the ages

1933 Madison Square Garden protest
The Madison Square Garden protest of 1933 was convened by the American Jewish Congress in New York City to protest the deteriorating circumstances of Jews in Nazi Germany after Hitler's rise to power. The protest was held on March 27, five days after the opening of the first Nazi concentration camp, Dachau.


1933 Madison Square Garden protest, Background
Adolf Hitler's opposition to the terms of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles had gained him a political following in Weimar Republic Germany. The platform of the Nazi Party, adopted the following year in 1920, had only one mention of Jews: "Only those who have German blood, regardless of creed, can be our countrymen. Hence no Jew can be a countrymen." The platform also stated that the German state's responsibility was to its citizens and "if it is not possible to maintain the entire population of the State, then foreign nationals (non-Citizens) are to be expelled from the Reich." This platform was mostly the same when Hitler became chancellor of Germany in January 1933.


1933 Madison Square Garden protest, Background
The Reichstag building was burned that February, leading to the removal of many civil liberties under the Reichstag Fire Decree.


1933 Madison Square Garden protest, Background
Two Jewish Americans were attacked by Nazis in Berlin on March 12, the same day that the American Jewish Congress met at the Commodore Hotel in New York City to discuss potential responses to the growing persecution of Jews, deciding upon a series of protests, including the March 27 protest at Madison Square Garden, and the related 1933 anti-Nazi boycott.


1933 Madison Square Garden protest, Background
The protest was part of a national day of protest and took place even though an organization of German Jews asked for the protest events to be cancelled for fear of reprisals in Germany.


1933 Madison Square Garden protest, Protest
The protest was held at Madison Square Garden on March 27, 1933 five days after Dachau was opened as the first Nazi concentration camp. The protest was attended by leaders of the Jewish community and other public figures including Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd and John Joseph Dunn, the Auxiliary Bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.


1933 Madison Square Garden protest, Protest
The attendees, some 23,000 in number, with an additional 40,000 outside, demanded that Franklin Roosevelt, who had just recently become President of the United States, must amend the restrictive immigration laws to allow German Jews to come to the United States.


1933 Madison Square Garden protest, Nazi counter-boycott
The Nazi regime had not expected this level of involvement in anti-Nazi protests from American churches and clergymen. Joseph Goebbels gave a radio address on March 28 saying "normal circumstances" would return when the "atrocity campaign" against Germany came to an end, threatening that the boycott campaign would otherwise "destroy German Jewry".


1933 Madison Square Garden protest, Nazi counter-boycott
On March 29, Hitler announced a boycott of Jewish business coordinated by Julius Streicher who spoke of the boycott in warlike terms: "Jewry wanted this battle. It shall have it until it realizes that the Germany of the brown battalions is not a country of cowardice and surrender."


1933 Madison Square Garden protest, Nazi counter-boycott
The Sturmabteilung (Brownshirts) took up positions outside Jewish-owned businesses that had been marked with yellow stars and anti-Semitic slogans. The boycott lasted only one day and was followed by other measures targeting Jews for harassment like the April 7 Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service. Pre -dating the Nuremberg Laws by around two years, the law banned anyone who wasn't of "Aryan descent" from civil service was one of the first anti-Semitic laws passed by Nazi Germany.

1933 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, History
The first official MLB All-Star exhibition game on July 6, 1933, was held at Comiskey Park (1910–1990) and was part of the 1933 Chicago World's Fair during the city's centennial. The 1933 MLB All-Star Game was the idea of Arch Ward, the sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, after the Mayor of Chicago, Edward J. Kelly, had first approached the Tribune's publisher for a major sport event. The game was intended to be a one-time event to boost morale during the Great Depression.


1933 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, History
Ward decided that the fans would select the starting nine players and the managers the other nine players for each of the NL and AL All-Star teams. The Tribune called it the "Game of the Century", and 55 newspapers across the country printed the fans' ballots in their papers. The Tribune estimated the game's attendance on July 6, 1933, at 49,000. The proceeds ($45,000, net gate receipts) from the game went to a charity for disabled and needy major league players. The All-Star Game would afterwards be known as MLB's "Midsummer Classic".

1933 Mannin Moar
The 1933 Mannin Moar (formally known as I Mannin Moar) was a Grand Prix that was held on 14 July 1933 at the Douglas street circuit in Douglas, Isle of Man, United Kingdom. It was the twenty-third round of the 1933 Grand Prix season, but it did not count towards the championship. The race, contested over 50 laps of 4.6 mi, or 7.4 km, was won by Brian Lewis driving an Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza after starting from pole position.


1933 Mannin Moar, Background, Rules and restrictions
When the R.A.C. wanted to organise a race on a street circuit, because of the popular Monaco Grand Prix, they found that it was illegal to close public roads for racing in the British mainland. However, the Isle of Man had its own laws, so a racing circuit was designed on the streets of Douglas. Two races were organised, Mannin Beg (English: Small Man) for non-supercharged voiturettes with engines smaller than 1500cc on 12 July 1933 and Mannin Moar (English: Great Man) for cars with engines over 1500cc and supercharged voiturettes on 14 July 1933.


1933 Mannin Moar, Background, Rules and restrictions
Riding mechanics were mandatory for all cars. This was possibly the last time this rule was used in Grand Prix motor racing. The purpose of this rule was that the mechanics could signal to the flag marshals that their drivers wanted to pass a car in front, so that the marshals could flag that car to get out of the way. On behalf of the drivers, Earl Howe wrote a letter to The Motor complaining that the rules were considered an embarrassment and would turn races from international events into second rate affairs. The R.A.C. however stuck to their ideas. As said, after this race the rule that mandated mechanics was never again applied.


1933 Mannin Moar, Background, Track
The  of the 1933 race was 5.8 km (3.6 mi) long. The start line was near the Villa Marina on the Douglas Promenade. The first series of corners included Greensills Corner, a sharp right hander that led onto Church Road, followed by an equally sharp left hander that led into Finch Road. Then the course turned right around the House of Keys onto a fast section over Prospect Hill, Bucks Road and Laurieston Road.


1933 Mannin Moar, Background, Track
Next, six sharp bends followed a zigzag pattern over Ballaquale Road, St. Ninians Road, Dukes Road and Falcon Ter before ending up on Victoria Road that led to Governor's Bridge in a fast left hander. A right hand turn onto Governor's Oad and Onchan was the most Northern corner of the circuit. From there the course followed a fast steep downwards section on Summer Hill Road between a wall on one side and houses on the other before coming back onto the promenade and ending up via Castle Mona Road at Villa Marina.


1933 Mannin Moar, Background, Track
The Douglas street circuit had a faster average speed than Circuit de Monaco, namely 105 km/h (65 mph), compared to Monaco's 96 km/h (60 mph).


1933 Mannin Moar, Race report
At the start of the race Lewis lost two places to Brackenbury and Eyston, who at his turn had overtaken Rose-Richards. Mathieson had the worst start - he had fallen back to the last position before the first corner. After the first lap the order was Eyston, Brackenbury, Lewis, Rose-Richard. On lap two Lewis' mechanic signaled their intention to overtake Eyston for the lead to the flag marshals, but they did not succeed. Eccles first pitted with gearbox troubles in lap three, then stalled his engine and later crashed into a wall.


1933 Mannin Moar, Race report
After five laps Eyston was in the lead followed by Lewis and Rose-Richards. Mathieson pitted for adjustments on his car. Lewis' mechanic was again waving to the marshalls and they waved flags to Eyston, but it took another two laps for Lewis to get into the lead. Rose-Richards took advantage of the situation and moved up to second. Meanwhile, Fotheringham's Bugatti was leaking fluid, so he went into the pits to fill up oil and water.


1933 Mannin Moar, Race report
After ten laps, Lace and Mathieson had been lapped due to the time they lost in the pit and Fotheringham's engine had given up in a big cloud of smoke. Lewis and Rose-Richards kept fighting for the lead. Sixty-five minutes into the race, they had covered fifteen laps and there was just seven seconds between them. This remained unchanged for a long time, even though both drivers made a pitstop around lap 25. At that time, Shuttleworth took over from Brackenbury, but braked too late into the first corner and went up at the escape road.


1933 Mannin Moar, Race report
He did manage to return to the race. On lap thirty-five, Shuttleworth drove into the pits far too fast, lost control and crashed backwards into the wooden pit structure. Two men were slightly injured - a Dunlop employee and Mannin Beg winner Freddy Dixon. However, the Bugatti was wrecked as was a considerable part of the pits.


1933 Mannin Moar, Race report
Not long after that, Lace had his brakes repaired on his Invicta and putted them to the test. When he came down Summer Hill, he crashed into a telephone pole. He escaped without injuries, the car and the pole were wrecked.


1933 Mannin Moar, Race report
Around lap forty, Rose-Richards had lost third gear and he fell back in the final ten laps of the race. Lewis eventually won two minutes ahead of Rose-Richards and three ahead of Eyston. Don and Mathieson were the only remaining contestants and were given fifteen minutes to complete the remaining laps. On Mathieson forty-second lap, he lost his brake and went up the escape road, which ended with a barrier that protected a big crowd of spectators. Mathieson deliberately crashed his Bugatti into a shop, but the car spun and the rear end still hit four spectators. They were sent to hospital with minor injuries. Don did finish the race and became fourth.
