Foreign Invaders of Panama Surrender (Universal Newsreel, May 1959)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. FOREIGN INVADERS OF PANAMA SURRENDER unconditionally. The Organization of American States–a five-nation investigating commission, supervised the surrender at the rebel-held "beachhead"–village of Nombre de Dios. Surrender came just one week after rebels who had organized and sailed from Cuba–landed on the Caribbean Coast of the tiny Panamanian Republic. Panamanian authorities knew the Inter-American alliance would restore peace–so they did not engage the invaders in battle. But surrounded the rebel-held bridgehead with National Guards and kept the invaders at bay. Thanks to the O.A.S. there was no bloodshed. 2A/B/C. SECRETARY OF STATE CHRISTIAN A. HERTER REPORTS TO PRESIDENT EISENHOWER AT HIS GETTYSBURG FARM immediately upon his return from the Foreign Ministers meeting in Paris where plenty of progress was made. Mr. Herter distinguished himself impressively. / SHE'S A FAIR FIFTY - Holland salutes the 50th Birthday of their beloved Queen Juliana. It’s a jubilant celebration with scores of thousands gathering informally to cheer the monarch and to place bouquets before the Palace. / MAGNIFICENT MONTY VISITS MOSCOW - The retired British World War II commander, Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery had two conferences with Nikita S. Khrushchev in as many days. He said their talks were interesting. Frank. Friendly and in a good atmosphere. His visit to Moscow, an unofficial call–was to learn what he could do to help improve East-West relations. He now has a better concept of what we are up against. 3A/B. SPORTS — AT FAIRGROUNDS COLISEUM, INDIANAPOLIS, FLOYD PATTERSON, 24, beats branding blows to Britain's challenger, Brian London before delivering an 11th round coup-de-gras. A warm-up for his coming bout with Sweden's Ingemar Johansson, in Yankee Stadium June 26. It's going to take some doing to lift the Heavyweight Title from Floyd Patterson. / A DERBY WITH CLASS — AT THE DOWNS - In the 85th Run For The Roses one of the most thrilling in Kentucky Derby history–its Tomy Lee! English-bred colt owned by Fred Turner, Jr., Midland, Texas, a cattle and oil man. Wille Shoemaker (another Texan, El Paso) rode Tomy Lee from behind to beat Sword Dancer by a nose. There was some bumping in the stretch–the two leading colts came together at the five-sixteenths pole–on the final turn. A foul was disallowed. Tomy Lee: $119.650 first money. Sword Dancer: $25,000 second money. On to the Preakness.
