01. One year - DANA
The "Allgemeine Deutsche Nachrichten Agentur" - briefly called DANA - is the news-office for the US-Zone's newspapers.
One year ago, DANA was founded by the Information Control Division of American Military Government and since September of last year its Bad Nauheim central office fleshed news of some 7 million words to the newspapers.

The DANA wireless Station. News from all over the world arrives. The daily average is about 160.000 words. They are received, transmitted to telewriters and automatically recorded by the DANA central office.
From there the report is relayed to the DANA editorial office. The editor passes it on for processing and then - after a further check - it goes to the "Hell"-writer office for wireless-transmission to the papers. DANA news flashes are received by the papers by wireless.
And this is how the reader finds them in his morning paper.
One year DANA - means one year objective reporting.
02. Sport
a. Olympics, Berlin
In the Berlin Olympic stadium the big international track- and field events take place. Contestants are the members of occupation forces in Europe, eight nations participating.
General McNarney, Supreme Commander of the American Forces in Europe, opens the meet.
The teams march in.
For the first time since 1936 the Olympic Fire is kindled again.
80.000 fans, 70.000 Germans of them, see many exciting contests - particularly the races.
The 100 metres. All runners keep close together. Then, the Dutchman Klein pushes ahead and wins easily in 10.9 seconds. Kleins wins also the 200 metres.
The pole vault is won by the Frenchman La Vergne. 4 x 100 metres hurdle relays. A race full of dash and excitement.
With every relay the lead changes. The third relay - England is far ahead - but the last man drops the stick and America forges ahead from the second to the first place.
In the total result, too, America wins the first place before Belgium and Denmark.
b. Derby, Munich
On Munich-Riem race-track the 100.000 mark German Derby takes place in front of overcrowded stands. 16 horses are at the start.
From the word go the favourite, the stallion "Solo" mounted by jockey Gerhard Streit, No. 3, takes the lead.
"Bertalda" outruns "Ostermond" and "Quarzit" leaving them the third and fourth places.
"Solo" wins safely as expected. Thus the tote pays only 14:10 win 12:10 place.
03. Atom in the test tube
These are the first pictures from Oakridge, American centre of atom research.
In these laboratories equipped with steel chambers, test tubes and melting furnaces the latest atom experiments, particularly the Bikini test results are evaluated.
Everywhere, signs warn of "Danger" and it can be seen how carefully this small capsule is treated: for it's radiation is deadly if handled carelessly.
The work of these modern alchemists serves the most important scientific task of mankind: to explore one of Nature's deepest secrets - the fission of the atom and the taming and utilization of the enormous energies thus released.
Atomic by-products, especially for medical use, are concurrently examined as to their applicability. Before shipment to other laboratories, this product is tested with the Geiger-counter for radio-activity. The work done in Oakridge marks the beginning of a new and progressive epoch, the Atomic Age.
04. German Highlights
a. Life-buoys, Hamburg
In the German Sea and the Baltic, narrow shipping lanes have been cleared of mines by mine sweeper. All ships have to follow strictly these routes [...]-ked by buoys, in order not to share the fate of the many wrecks along the course.
A signal buoy, which can be heard also in foggy weather by clanging of a bell.
And a howling buoy. The latter, too, serves as a warning signal when visibility is poor.
Another buoy marks a wreck.
All these buoys are regularly checked by the men of the Water-Ways Office and reconditioned from time to time.
Cleaning of one of these buoys, which weighs up to 10 tons, of seaweed, rust and dirt.
The blink light which sparkles at night is reconditioned.
One gas filling suffices for one year.
The safeguarding of the water-ways means free and safe traffic for food transports and all other ships.
b. Open Air Theatre, Frankfort/Main
In the cross-walk of the 700 year old Frankfort Karmeliter monastery an open-air stage has been installed.
The old monastery-yard's architectural beauty matches the famous, now destroyed historic site and open-air theatre of the Römerberg.
In the Karmeliter monastery the cast of Frankfort's Municipal Theatre present a new production of Shakespeare's "As You Like It".
Under the round arches are the seats of the spectators view, enthralled by the harmony of the ancient monastery and the figures of Shakespeare's world.
c. Policewomen, Berlin
On the initiative of the occupation powers future members of the women-police-force are instructed in the police schools at Berlin-Spandau and Oberschöneweide. One subject is jujitsu. After 6 weeks instruction they pass an efficiency test and then the job begins; the age limits are from 23 to 35 years.
The next step: uniforms ... for some at first a rather involved affair.
Berlin is to get a total of 350 Women-policemen. The first 80 are already trained and are on duty in all four sectors of Berlin. Besides traffic-duties they are to supervise children and youngsters on the streets.
The dress rehearsal is over - from now on Miss Bobby will be a permanent character of the Berlin street-scene.
05. British Zone:
Week of commemoration for the victims of fascism
In nearly 2.000 Nazi concentration camps and prisons nearly eleven million persons were killed. In a week of commemoration for these millionfold victims of fascism a solemn transfer of 28 urns to the Ohlsdorf cemetery takes place at Hamburg. They contain the ashes of Hamburg anti-fascists, who were sentenced to death by the People's Court and executed.
At Ohlsdorf cemetery Senator Heitgres, president of the Committee of Hamburg's former political prisoners, addresses the audience.
The urns are carried by representatives of Hamburg youth unions to the new graves.
The same day a commemorative monument for the victims of fascism was solemnly inaugurated.
This first monument within the British Zone was built by former political prisoners.
In future this week of commemoration shall take place in September every year - an admonition to remember the eleven million victims of Nazi persecution.
06. England:
Take-off for a new record
The English Lancaster-plane "Aries" is one of the most famous veteran of test-flights of all kinds.
In its 200.000 kilometres of flight this plane has performed a flight around the world and another into the Arctic circle.
And each time the job was the testing of aeronautic innovations - before introducing them into the regular air service.
Incidentally, the "Aries" and its crew of eleven set up a series of world records. Here f.i. it is preparing to take off for its recentflight to Australia.
It covered the route in 42 hours - 10 hours less than the last record flight in 1935.
07. Animals from all over the world!
Animals from all over the world! From Calcutty to the warthog, and from Tromsö to the canary. First lap: New Jersey - this man is no fakir but a bee-keeper in his sunday suit. Please, get a little closer - or rather not (so that not sting remains).
Second lap: Paris, city of arts, of graces and geniuses, of muses and models. Here we see how the model, too, collaborates creatively in the work of art. "Give that thing to me. Now I'll show you what real art is. See? That's what I call a self-portrait - and so life-like that the fleas are going to bite on granit soon."
Terminus Sidney: an unrehearsed incident in a greyhound race. An unsuspecting happens alon (and the lucky camera-man bags this amazing "candid camera" shot).
Who backs the hare? Answer: the hare. Take your time, boys - it may be your turn next - or rather not. Bye, bye, gentlemen! So long - and no ill feelings.
