Mr. K. Down on the Farm (Universal Newsreel, Sep 1959)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. MR. K. DOWN ON THE FARM - In the heart of the world's best corn country, Khrushchev spends the most cheerful and folksy day of his American tour, on the farm of Roswell Garst, in Coon Rapids, Iowa. Mr. K. inspects the modern, ultra-efficient farming methods that are one of his major objects of interest here, and lunches with Adlai Stevenson, dropping hints at some "give" in disarmament negotiations. Vast numbers of newsmen clash with massive security forces and with farmer Garst in a raucous side-show to the main event. 2. SPORTS — WHITE SOX CLINCH PENNANT - At Cleveland, the Chicago White Sox clinch the American League pennant, their first in 40 years, as they protect an early lead against Cleveland's ninth inning bases–loaded threat. Afterwards, scenes of uproarious celebration in the Sox' dressing room. 3. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO / THE WORLD SERIES - Detroit Tigers against the St. Louis Cardinals, with such immortal diamond figures as FRANKIE FRISCH, MICKEY COCHRANE, DIZZY DEAN, and DUCKY-WUCKY MEDWICK. Notables watching one of the most spectacular of all Series includes HENRY and EDSEL FORD, WILL ROGERS, and JUDGE LANDIS. In New York City, an anti-gambling campaign is launched by MAYOR FIORELLO LA GUARDIA, who personally smashes the first of 1200 slot machines. AUTOMOTIVE PROGRESS NOTES, feature a STEAM-POWERED TRUCK and a COLLISION-PROOF CAR that performs as predicted but proves a little too rugged for the people inside!
