Description

The original release sheet reads: KENNEDY KIDS MAKE NEWS John F. Kennedy’s children steal the headlines from the President-elect. On daughter Caroline’s 3rd birthday, Senator Kennedy takes his proud, happy, and very frisky little girl to Church, and Caroline captures the cameramen. Afterwards, the President-elect goes on to the hospital to visit Mrs. Kennedy and his infant son, John F. Kennedy, Jr. FORMOSA MANEUVERS Nationalist Chinese forces put on the greatest show of strength since being driven from the mainland. Chiang Kai Shek watches 60,000 men in amphibious maneuvers that dramatically demonstrate the defense strength of Formosa. MacMILLAN VISITS POPE JOHN XXIII Britain’s Prime Minister MacMillan and Foreign Secretary Lord Hume are received by Pope John XXIII, following two days of talks with Italian government officials in Rome. EIRE MOURNS HEROES Eire mourns 9 soldiers slain in a Congo ambush while serving with United Nations forces. In the solemn state funeral, the flag of the world organization for the first time drapes the caskets of soldiers fallen in its service, martyrs of peace. FOOTBALL NAVY WINS 17-12 AS CADET RALLY FAILS: At Philadelphia, one of the most stirring games in the history of the interservice football classic. Trailing 17-0 at half time, Army stages a fierce rally that closes the gap to 17-12. Then, in the closing minutes, a final drive stalls when a fumbled pitch-out costs Army 14 yards, and a final desperation pass is intercepted on the goal line by Navy’s amazing Joe Bellino who runs the ball back 45 yards to bring Navy out of the storm, to a 17-12 victory and an Orange Bowl bid.
