Description

The original release sheet reads: U.S. BREAKS RELATIONS WITH CUBA Fidel Castro stages the biggest military parade ever seen in Cuba, featuring modern weapons from Russia. Shortly after the martial celebration of the 2nd anniversary of his regime, Castro demands a drastic cut in personnel by the U.S. Embassy, leading to the breaking-off of diplomatic relations by President Eisenhower. WORLD WATCHES LAOS FIGHTING An anxious world watches the fighting in Laos between Communist rebels and pro-Western government forces, as American charges massive Soviet aid, and Russia admits airlifting supplies.
