Allies Protest Pact Violation (Universal Newsreel, Aug 1961)

Description

The original release sheet reads: ALLIES PROTEST PACT VIOLATION With the border in Berlin between East and West firmly sealed, the Allies have swung to the belief that the Communists pulled a propaganda blooper when they ended the free flow within the city. World opinion is heavily in favor of the West and the Russians propaganda machine seems content to let the onus rest on the East German regime and not on the Soviets themselves. MIKOYAN OPENS TRADE FAIR IN JAPAN The Russians' Number One Salesman and Number Two Man, Anastas Mikoyan, opens a Soviet Trade Fair in Tokyo. That's the ostensible reason for his visit, but he also pressed the Japanese to sign a trade agreement - a suggestion they firmly rejected. U.S. MILITARY MANPOWER BOOSTER The military buildup in the United States moves into high gear as the Department of Defense announces a program designed to build up our largest peacetime defense force. UNEARTH PREHISTORIC CITY IN MIDDLE EAST A discovery of prime importance in tracing the history of Neolithic man is the excavation of a village in Jordan that dates back 6,000 years before Christ. SPORTS SPECTACULAR DIVING MEET A climax to a season of swimming meets in Europe takes place at Reutlingen, Germany with 70 of the top divers competing. The camera makes a breath-taking picture of poetry in motion as divers soar from the high platform.
