Mid-East Crisis (Universal Newsreel, Jul 1958)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. MID-EAST CRISIS - Moscow's first reaction to the landing of U.S. troops in Lebanon is an angry demonstration by an estimated 100,000 at the U.S. Embassy. Later, Khrushchev calls for an immediate 5-power summit meeting. America builds up forces in Lebanon, and the Middle east settles to an ominous simmer. 2. BULLS RAMPAGE - In Pamplona, Spain, the annual amateur toreros' spree as the bulls are driven through the city streets. 3. 25 YEARS AGO TODAY - Another in U-I's series of glimpses into a time not-so-long-ago but already shrouded with memory and nostalgia. —THE N.R.A. - One of the New Deal's dramatic measures for leading the country out of the Great Depression is hailed in New York by a 10-hour parade. Over 200,000 march. —CHICAGO'S WORLD FAIR - Is formally opened by Postmaster-General James Farley. A third of a million throng the still-memorable midway. —PERSONALITIES OF THE DAY - John D. Rockefeller plays golf in his 94th year. J.P. Morgan faces a Senate Investigation Committee. Albert Einstein comes to America. George Bernard Shaw makes his first visit to the U.S. and has a spirited skirmish with newsmen. —TRAFFIC TANGLE - New York's pedestrians laugh off an anti-jaywalking campaign–until the cops pass out tickets. And a California wizard licks the parking problem with a 5-wheel car that slides into the curb sideways!
