Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. DEWEY ENDORSES EUROPEAN HELP: NEW YORK - Returning from a tour of western European nations, the former GOP presidential candidate urges continuance of the Marshall Plan aid. 2A/B/C. WANNA BUY A YACHT?: NEW YORK - Hitler's 3,800-ton floating palace arrives in New York harbor with its present owner, George Arida. The Fuehrer's sea-going luxury is breathtaking. / EXILED MONARCH VISITS MUSEUM: SPAIN - One of Spain's most famous museums, at Sitge is visited by King Humbert of Italy and his family. Here he sees some of the glory that was medieval Spain. / THE KLAN GATHERS: ATLANTA, GA - Babes in arms are initiated into the hooded order, at a ceremony at the foot of historic Stone Mountain. 3A/B. FRENCH SWIM MEET: FRANCE - Frenchmen are getting in the swim these days with all the Gallic trappings. At L'Isle-Adam the opening of a huge pool brings out the best European aquatic talent. / JUNE SKIING: MOUNT HOOD, OR - It doesn't look like June ten thousand feet up, and the skiers just peel off their shirts and slalom as usual. 4. CHIMP-ANTICS: ST. LOUIS - Chimps, with a few assists from the ponies put on a show stopping exhibition of agility and pure comedy. Monkeys are funnier than people—definitely.
