Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION / G.O.P. LEADERS MEET TO PICK CANDIDATE: PHILADELPHIA - (Special Release) Will it be Dewey? Taft? Stassen? Or a “Dark Horse” candidate? All eyes are on Convention Hall as the nation's Republicans gather to begin their quadrennial task of picking a presidential candidate. In keynote speech, Gov. Green of Illinois attacks Truman administration and predicts a G.O.P. landslide in November. 2A/B. U.N. GUARDS FLY TO ZION: NEW YORK - The United Nation's first international police force—49 men bound for Palestine to help protect the truce—pose just prior to departure by plane for the Holy Land. The volunteers, from seven countries, carry revolvers but no ammunition. / MISS PRESS PHOTOGRAPHER: ATLANTIC CITY - Against picturesque hotel pool background, lovely and scantily-clad lassies strut their stuff for the judges in the annual "Photogs" beauty contest. A very eye-filling winner is a Lone Star charmer, Peggy Sullivan. 3. NEW PICTURE STAR: HOLLYWOOD - "Jane," a winsome Chimpanzee from Cincinnati, arrives in the motion picture capital and takes it by storm. She gets "made up" by Buddy Westmore, and has lunch with Jimmy Stewart, with whom she holds a delightful conversation, all one-sided. (LOCAL – CANADA) FOREST FIRES RUNNING WILD IN VAST AREA.
