Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. FLOODS RAVAGE NORTHEAST AGAIN - Three days of torrential rains bring another flood disaster to Northeastern states not yet recovered from the havoc wrought by Hurricane Diane. 48 are dead or missing, hundreds of towns inundated, 30,000 families homeless, and transportation paralyzed. 2. IKE'S BIRTHDAY: DENVER - His convalescence proceeding satisfactorily, the President marks his 65th birthday, sharing the big cake with G.I. patients at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital, and taking a brief outing on the sun-deck. 3. JET SPEEDBOAT SINKS: LAKE MEAD, NV - Donald Campbell's jet-engined speedboat "Bluebird" sinks at the dock after test runs, just before an attempt at the world's speed mark, a costly set-back. 4A/B. FOOTBALL — UPSET OF THE WEEK as Michigan State topples unbeaten, unscored on Notre Dame, by a spectacular 21-7 score, a gridiron thriller all the way. / WATER POLO AT POLO GROUNDS? Seems like it as the N.Y. Giants meet the Chicago Cardinals in defiance of the week-end torrents that flooded six states. The Giants slosh to their first victory, 10-0.
