Description

The original release sheet reads: REDS THREATEN BOMB TEST H-Bomb terror once again casts its ominous shadow over the face of the earth as Khrushchev announces that the Russians will once again undertake nuclear tests. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. denounces the move as he expresses the views of the United States. WEST BERLIN - THEY WAIT West Berliners, under the protection of Allied trooops, go about their daily tasks as well aware that their divided city has been pounced upon by Khrushchev as his frail reason for resuming Atom-bomb tests. Sidelights on life in Berlin show a British lad escorted to school by tanks after threats from East Berlin police; a bride is married in the East while her mother watches from the West. SIX DIE IN CABLE CAR CRASH A French jet plane on a training flight crashes into a cable car tramway sending two cars plunging into the valley, killing six. Eighty-one others are rescued after 15 hours in a thrilling drama. SPORTS NEW TROTTING RECORDS SET Harlan Dean sets two new marks in the famed Hambletonian at DuQuoin, Illinois.
