In France, Nikita Khrushchev makes a pilgrimage to the apartment where Lenin lived in exile before the Russian Revolution. He begins his six day swing through the provinces in Bordeaux where he is guest of the Mayor. GRAND NATIONAL WON BY FAVORITE, MERRYMAN II More than 100,000 crowd the stands at Aintree for the 121st Grand National. A field of 26 line up for the greatest test of riders and jumpers in the world - a gruelling event tht results in the death of one horse and injuries to eight jockeys. Merryman II finishes 15 lengths ahead of the 7 other survivors. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO The coming of Spring ushered in the TORNADO SEASON. One twister still remembered for its shattering fury, ravaged Metropolis, Illinois with whirlwind speed. On the 20th Anniversary of the opening of UNIVERSAL CITY STUDIOS, a host of old-timers lined up to congratulate movie pioneer, Carl Laemmle. GADGETEERS were very active a quarter of a century back. although not very successful. A combination revolver and movie camera; a fire alarm box with cunning automatic manacles for the unwary; and a nifty idea for sailboats intended to make sails obsolete were a few inventions that bit the dust. A new salt water record was set by GAR WOOD with his Miss America Tenth.
