Algerian Crisis (Universal Newsreel, Jan 1960)

Description

The original release sheet reads: ALGERIAN CRISIS Algiers remains in a state of siege with thousands of insurgents behind street barricades in the heart of the City and Army forces passive - their ultimate loyalty in doubt. De Gaulle secures his position by arresting rightists in France itself, and while both sides, and the world, await the next move in this major test of the Fifth Republic's authority. LEATHER FASHIONS FOR SPRING Aboard a south-bound cruise ship, leather fashions for afternoon fun and chic but casual evenings are spotlighted for Spring 1960. All are bright in color and light in spirit, comfortable, practical and eminently swank. JOHANSSON WINS HICKOCK BELT At the Annual Charity Dinner in Rochester, New York, sports writers and broadcasters, Ingemar Johannson receives the $10,000 Hickock Belt as Professional Athlete of the Year. MONTE CARLO RALLY Nearly a hundred cars start the gruelling mountain run of the Monte Carlo Rally, 357 miles of arduous driving over the winding, twisting, icy and treacherous roads. The winners, sweeping the first 3 places, are German teams. GOLDEN GLOVES Golden Gloves sub-novice heavyweights in a series of full-steam-ahead slugfests at Sunnyside Gardens. More than solid knockout studs this sequence of Pier Six braawls in the squared circle, in which spirit and muscles make do for skill.
