MAY DAY IN TWO BERLINS In their separate fashions, East and West Berlin celebrate May Day. In their Communist Zone, the traditional parade is a five hour martial pageant, with goosestepping troops and rumbling heavy armor. In West Berlin, nearly a million gather to hear Mayor Willy Brandt assert the determination of their free city. LONDON PREPARES FOR NUPTIALS Preparations for the wedding of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones engross London. Lamp-posts along the Mall are adorned with triple crowns, and a practice run of the wedding procession in the early morn draws untimely crowds. FEEDING TIME IN THE ZOO Feeding time in the Stuttgart Zoo, with Sonny the Chimp onthe other side of the line. In a small zookeeper's uniform, she's handing it out for a change, flinging fish to a happy school of barking sea-lions. Who needs humans? SPORTS PENN RELAYS At the 66th Annual Penn Relays, keen competition and some brilliant performances, topped by the 7ft. 1 1/2 inch leap of John Thomas, to recapture the world's outdoor high jump record for America. SWORD DANCER IN GREY LAG At Aqueduct, 1959's horse of the year, SWORD DANCER, returns to top form to win the Grey Lag handicap after a fiercely contested final furlong that ends in a three horse photo finish.
