Reds Launch First Space Satellite (Universal Newsreel, Oct 1957)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. REDS LAUNCH FIRST SPACE SATELLITE - Moscow earns the scientific glory for mankind's first stride into outer space. Animated films graphically show how a mighty three-stage rocket placed an artificial moon into an orbit around the earth–a feat that occasions Western re-appraisal of Red missile progress. 2A/B/C. SAN MARINO CRISIS - The tiny republic of San Marino is claimed by two rival governments, one Communist, one Democratic, after a disputed election which saw the Red-dominated incumbents defeated in the vote. / GROMYKO MEETS DULLES - Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko visits Secretary of State Dulles at his home for an informal talk on the world situation, on a wide range of subjects. / MECHANIZED MINE LAYER - At Fort Belvoir, Va., Army Engineers show new automatic mine-laying equipment, which digs a divot, plants the explosive, and neatly replaces the earth. 3. '58 SWIM SUITS - A glimpse into the fashion future, swimwear inspired by the colors and flight of birds. Highspot of the collection previewed in New York, a gold lame Bikini–price $1,000. 4A/B. SPORTS — OHIO STATE vs. WASHINGTON - In Seattle, Ohio State's Buckeyes batter the Washington Huskies in a 35-7 onslaught. / WORLD SERIES - World Series fever grips Milwaukee. In the fourth game, a thriller-diller finale, as the lagging Yankees even the score in the ninth–to be defeated by Eddie Matthews 10th-inning home run!
