Jordan Crisis (Universal Newsreel, Apr 1957)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. JORDAN CRISIS - Events move rapidly in the crisis that shakes the tiny Kingdom of Jordan. King Hussein denounces Red influences imposes martial law, and receives the homage of Bedouin chieftains, as in Washington, President Eisenhower declares the autonomy of Jordan vital to world peace, while the U.S. 6th Fleet proceeds to the area. 2A/B/C/D/E. OLYMPIAN HONEYMOONERS, America's Harold Connelly, Olympic hammer throwing champion, and Mrs. Connelly, the former Olga Fikitova-Czech discus gold medalist, arrive in New York from behind the Iron Curtain. / TEEN-AGE TELEPHONE CO., in El Cerito, Cal., with 28 subscribers and 2 exchanges-built and operated on their own by 5 young businessman-engineers, testifies to youthful industry and enterprise. / CHIMP CIRCUS - Starring the chimpanzee champs of the Hamburg circus in hilarious act rolls 'em in the aisles. / WATER BROOM - a garden hose attachment invented by 80-year-old Clarence Fassett of Stockton, California, rakes the lawn clean and even washes a car in quick-time, with a controlled jet-spray of water. / HARDWARE HATS - bizarre bonnets that testify to a touch of Spring fever in San Francisco, where employees let their imagination run riot to produce some merry millinery out of their utilitarian stock in trade. 3. JAPANESE FASHIONS for Western tastes are unveiled in New York-the Occidental premiere of a striking style line inspired by Nipponese history and folk-lore, from a new culture center-Tokyo. 4. POLIO RODEO - Protection, Kansas, headlines the completion of a 100% campaign of anti-polio vaccinations with a gala rodeo in fine Old Western style-celebrating their foresight with a bit of looking backwards.
