Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. ARAB MONARCH VISITS SPAIN: SPAIN - Another development in Spain's diplomatic wooing of the Arab world, as Jordan's young King Hussein and Queen Dina pay a state visit to Generalissimo Franco. A gala procession marks the occasion. 2. TITO AND U NU CONFER: YUGOSLAVIA - Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia greets Burma's Premier U Nu as the Asian leader returns Tito's good-will visit of last year. A warmly spontaneous welcome by the city of Belgrade greets U Nu. 3. MATSU STRENGTHENED: MATSU ISLAND - Driven from the front pages by new world developments, the Nationalist Chinese fortress island, within gun range of Red China's mainland, receives new supplies and ammunition, building strength against any sneak attack. 4. POLISH ACE JOINS U.S.A.F. - Refugee Polish flier Jerzy Jaswinski, who flew a Red MIG to Denmark and freedom in 1953, enlists in the U.S. Air Force, to fly under the insignia of freedom. 5. GERMAN DEFENSE HEAD VISITS NATO: FRANCE - West German Defense Minister Blank visits NATO headquarters. Once an enemy, his nation is now a full partner in the Atlantic Alliance. An historic occasion, the first visit to French soil by a German military leader since World War II. 6. INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL CENTER: JAPAN - Dignitaries representing the nations of the world attend the opening of Japan's half million-dollar International House, making a new era of cultural exchange, a gateway of understanding between East and West. 7. SCALLOP FLEET SAILS: NOVA SCOTIA - Calm weather on the Bay of Fundy is the signal for the scallop fleet to put out, and begin harvesting the world's richest trove of the succulent seafood, punishing work that lasts as long as the men and the weather hold out. 8. INTER-CITY HELICOPTER: ENGLAND - A giant helicopter designed for inter-city helicopter service is flown. The huge craft, with its great speed and passenger capacity, may usher in a new age of commuting through the clouds. 9. HORSING AROUND IN THE BULL RING: SPAIN - Horsing around in the bull ring, as an agile equine takes the place of El Toro in a mock combat with its trainer. A combination of finesse and foolishness that wins the crowd's plaudits.
