The original release sheet reads: 1. UNVEIL NEW ATOM GENERATOR - At the White House, President Eisenhower and Atomic Energy Commissioners present a revolutionary new device which generates electrical current from radio-activity. A mighty midget which supplies 5 watts, for a year or more of service. It does the work formerly required of ¾ of a ton of the best electric batteries. 2A/B/C. 16 PUPS PANIC PALERMO, ITALY - Rubi, a local lady dog surprises her owners–it's a surprise that brings a bonanza to Palermo's milkman. The 16 little guys really lap it up by the gallon right out of wash buckets. / PRESIDENT EISENHOWER AND VARIETY CLUB - Members of the Variety Club International, which includes Kim Novak and Perry Como, pay a call to the White House. The President is given a life-time honorary membership in the show-business organization. / AUTOMOBILE AND BOAT SHOWS - It's an eye-filling, drooling experience getting a look at the latest in autos–and Boats! The 1959 showings in Chicago and New York uncover some glittering gadgets and some smooth-as-velvet engineering developments. 3. FASHION FARE - Holland's top designers stage a joint Fashion show in London, England. They're style conscious down by the Zuider Zee as the smart creations go to show. 4A/B. BOSTON K OF C MEET - A sit-up-and-take-notice performance was given by 17-year old John Thomas at the Massachusetts Knights of Columbus Meet at Boston. The lad emerges from obscurity to set a new world's indoor high jump record: 6’-11¾”. In the 600-yard event, a duel–between Ed Collymore and Rudy Smith finishes with a startling nose dive. / NORGE SKI MEET - America's top ski star, Ansten Samuelsten, Colorado Springs, again zooms and looms to top the top at the Norge Ski Meet at Fox Grove, Illinois.
