Description

The original release sheet reads: BERLIN REPORT: BORDER QUIET - ALLIES CONFER There's a period of watchful waiting in Berlin as the West Berliners await the next move of the Allies. The East Germans open two offices in the West to issue travel permits and they are promptly closed by the Allies who won't recognize the need of permits. Mayor Willy Brandt is joined by Economics Minister Ludwig Erhardt in a tour of the border area which is comparatively quiet. HONG KONG IS HIT BY CHOLERA SCARE The teeming colony has been struck by one of man's most dreaded diseases - Cholera. Streets are scrubbed and food sanitation laws tightened as more than one million are inoculated in the first three days. CAN WINTER BE FAR BEHIND? New York City tests a new snow removal device that promises to get rid of the white stuff twice as fast as old methods. It's a truck with a furnace that quickly makes water out of snow and flushes it down sewers. THAT ITALIAN LOOK FOR FALL Italian designers are continuing their all-out war on Paris as a center for high fashion and they seem to have plenty of ammunition in their new Fall collections. Hemlines are longer and bank accounts thinner. SPORTS THE KIND OF HERO YOU DREAM ABOUT The Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, produces the kind of hero you only find in books. Mike Salvatore of the El Cajon, California, team pitches no-hit ball against El Campo of Texas and to top it off he stars in the field and slams a three-run homer to win the game.
