Dulles Affirms Formosa Policy (Universal Newsreel, Feb 1955)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. DULLES AFFIRMS FORMOSA POLICY - Quemoy awaits assault, lying in the shadow of the Red mainland, an easy target for Communist artillery. Every foot of the island's terrain is dotted with heavy fortifications . . . first hurdle in the way of Red attack on Formosa. In Washington, D.C., Secretary of State Dulles delivers a major foreign policy address, reaffirming America's determination to fight to defend Formosa, if need be. 2. MODES FOR MERE MALES: PALM SPRINGS, CA - Men's fashions with a California continental look. Cool, comfortable, and colorful are the watchwords. Masculine modes give the men something to preen themselves about. 3. PIRATE GASPARILLA TAKES TAMPA: TAMPA, FL - It's carnival time, and the reincarnated pirate Gasparilla and his buccaneer crew invade the city. The annual festival also marks the city's 100th birthday–a day of civic mirth and merriment. 4. BROTHERHOOD WEEK OPENS: NEW YORK CITY - As Brotherhood Week opens, comedian Jackie Gleason makes a special appeal for all mericans, regardless of race, creed, or religion, to join in the nation-wide observances. 5. WESTMINSTER DOG SHOW: NEW YORK CITY - The royalty of dogdom on parade. An enormous array of canine champions, from tiny pugs to Great Danes, vie for honors at the Westminster Dog Show. King of them all is British-bred Ch. Kippax Fairnought, first bulldog to win the coveted award in 42 years.
