Description

The original release sheet reads: TWIN SATELLITES IN PIGGYBACK LAUNCHING At Cape Canaveral, another historic space test. Two satellites mounted piggyback fashion are carried aloft by a single Thor-Able-Star rocket. Only the second shot of this model, it places both new moons into precise orbits. ALOHA IKE! Ike arrives in Hawaii, and receives a warm ALOHA! After triumphal airport greetings, and a procession through Honolulu, he stops over for a few days of rest and golfing recreation after the rigors of his Far Eastern tour. JAPAN HONORS MacARTHUR In New York, Japan's Consul General presents General Douglas MacArthur with the highest award the country can give a foreigner who is not a Chief of State, the Cordon of the ORder of the Rising Sun. THREE WHEEL CAR RIDE Automotive engineers drive a stock U.S. car from Chicago to Detroit with one wheel missing, a dramatic test of the new unit body construction that has cops in three states gasping. MONKEY BUSINESS WITH MAMA TIGER In Italy, Zoo capers - Mrs. Tiger in a snarling rage while her cub cavorts with some human playmates, and an irreverent monk who mocks the distraught mother and plays a tricky game of tag with an unwary watchdog. FASHION PARADE In Rotterdam's unique 300-foot high Euromast restaurant, a parade of international high fashion by lovely models now touring the continent with a collection by 11 top designers. Stunning setting, chic lines and glamorous girls. CANOE SLALOM White water daredevils in a Canoe Slalom, with a rugged, sadistic course marked out by poles in a surging, tricky stream to make even more hair-raising the ordeal of powerful currents and savage rapids.
