Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. FORMOSA-U.S. HOPES FOR PEACE but READY WITH AID - As the crisis centered on Quemoy and Matsu continues, America gives a demonstration of its unyielding support for Nationalist China. U.S. Marines and units of Chiang Kai Shek's forces take part in joint maneuvers on the beaches of Formosa. 2A/B. STRATO-JET GUNNERS - An unusual target range trains B-47 gunners in Kansas. Tail sections containing radar-aimed cannon are lined up on the ground, blasting away at remote controlled "drone" targets. / EDEN WEDDING - A romantic wedding on Italy's Isle of Ischia shakes London society, as Amelia Eden, niece of former Prime Minister Anthony Eden, marries an Italian ferry-boat engineer. 3. FASHION GETS THE BOOT - Fashion gets the boot- so to speak. In New York, the newest footwear is shown–boots in fancy leather, and high style colors. For evening, the knee-length boots are in 24 karat kid–or studded with diamonds! 4A/B. SPORTS — PRISON RODEO - In Oklahoma State Prison, cons who couldn't stay out of trouble with the bulls are back at their old tricks–for fun–in what is billed as the world's biggest rodeo, on either side of the wall. / ROY CAMPANELLA - At a New York hospital, Dodger catcher Roy Campanella tells of progress in his fight against the near-total paralysis that has gripped him since January. Good news for his multitude of admirers and well-wishers.
