In ceremonies at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, honorary degrees are presented to her, Chief Justice Warren, Adlai Stevenson, and German Chancellor Adenauer. 2A/B/C/D. FLOODS RAVAGE ITALY: ITALY - Devastated towns and shocked survivors in the wake of Italy's most catastrophic floods. Cloudbursts sent torrents raging into coastal towns. The grim toll--over 20,000 homeless and at least 400 known dead. / LOCUSTS PLAGUE CANARY ISLANDS: CANARY ISLANDS - The worst insect plague of recent years hits the Canary Islands' fertile fields. Aided by crop-dusting planes, farmers battle to save at least part of their crops from the locust hordes. / INTERNATIONAL BEAUTIES ARRIVE: UNIVERSAL CITY, CA - Continental beauties selected after many months of search arrive to be screen-tested in the role of Mary Magdalene in U-I's forthcoming production, "the Galileans." / TURBO-PROP TRANSPORT: INDIANAPOLIS, IN - An impressive demonstration of America's first commercially built turbo-prop transport plane. Powered with the efficient new engines, the standard type transport displays fighter-plane rate of climb! 3A/B. NOTRE DAME vs NAVY: BALTIMORE - A rain-soaked gridiron and determined, opposition makes it a thriller right down to the closing minutes, as a fumble on the one-yard line ends Navy's drive to score and tie. The Irish win, 6-0. / OHIO STATE vs NORTHWESTERN: EVANSTON - Homecoming day for Northwestern—pitted against favored Ohio State. It looks like an upset in store, at first but Buckeye power blasts the Wildcats' hopes, with a 14-7 final score for Ohio.
