War in Egypt (Universal Newsreel, Nov 1956)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. WAR IN EGYPT - Major crisis confronts the world as Israel attacks Egypt, and France and Britain prepare to move troops into the Suez Canal. Egypt is bombed by British jets, even as the U.N. General Assembly meets in emergency session to consider the threat to peace. President Eisenhower declares American policy, after the world has seen Britain and France veto peace proposals in the United Nations put forth by the U.S. and Russia. 2. HUNGARY FREE — FACES NEW RED THREAT - Fraternization along Hungary's borders symbolizes the nation's independence of Russian domination. But as medical supplies are shipped in, the debris of battle is cleared from Budapest streets, as the revolution's dead are buried. Soviet troops move into Hungary again, a new threat that follows Premier Nagy's declaration of neutrality, and appeal to the U.N. for a guarantee of Hungary's hard-won sovereignty. 3A/B. ITALY RIOTS - In Rome, a student demonstration swells from 500 to 10,000, in support of Hungary's anti-Red fight. The demonstration turns to a riot when police turn back a march on Italian Communist Party Headquarters. / TEXAS RANGERS - get new steeds, in a switch from horses to horsepower. Sleek '57 police cars supplant the trusty horse as transportation for the Lone Star State's preservers of law and order. 4. HORSE SHOW OPENS - Pageantry, color and thrills fill the bill as the 68th National Horse Show opens in New York. Mexico's Gen. Humberto Moriles tops crack riders of 5 nations in a grueling jumping event, to win the Good Will Challenge Trophy, and Canada's Mounties stage their spectacular Musical Ride to end the evening in splendor.
