Ordeal by Fire and Flood (Universal Newsreel, Jul 1951)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. ORDEAL BY FIRE AND FLOOD: KANSAS CITY, MO - This flooded and fire-stricken city plans for re-building and rejuvenation after days of terror. Burning oil tanks added fuel to the flames of terror of rampaging flood waters that inundated large areas of the city. In other Midwest cities, swirling floods take terrible toll. The damage in Kansas and Missouri runs close to the Billion Dollar Mark. 2. KOREA TRUCE TALKS RESUMED AFTER REDS BOW TO ULTIMATUM: KOREA - Bowing to Gen. Ridgway's demands that Kaesong be cleared of all armed troops and that UN newsmen be allowed to attend truce parleys, the cease-fire talks get underway once again. Hopes of speedy truce rise as new talks begin. Meanwhile, patrol action along the front goes on. The war is not over yet. 3A/B. SPORTING HIGHLIGHTS — MILLION $$ HORSE: INGLEWOOD, CA - Citation, Calumet Farms' wonder horse, races down the stretch for a four-length victory in the Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap, to boost his lifetime earnings over the million dollar mark. First thoroughbred millionaire in history. / FOLDING THE BULL!!: PAMPLONA, SPAIN - It's a wild melee when young bloods of town chase wild bulls through the streets, and are chased (and knocked down) in turn. It's an annual event that takes an amusing turn when the scramble winds up at the local bull ring.
