SPY STORY OF THE YEAR Further developments of teh sensational spy story that broke with the shooting down by Russia of an unarmed high-altitude U.S. reconnaissance plane, 1,400 miles behind the Red frontier. Scenes of Khrushchev making his electrifying announcement to the Soviet Prosidium, and of America's retort. "VENETIAN WAY" WINS DERBY At Churchill Downs, the 86th consecutive run for the roses, and as usual there's all the traditional excitement and color of the Kentucky Derby. As usual, the unusual happens, with the amazing showing of speed and power by "Venetian Way" to beat the two top pre-race favorites by an awesome and decisive margin, going away at the finish!
