Allied Summit (Universal Newsreel, Dec 1962)

Description

The original release sheet reads: ALLIED SUMMIT: KENNEDY MEETS WITH MacMILLAN The two heads of state face two critical problems as they meet in the Bahamas. They discuss the "Skybolt" air to ground missile that has proved an expensive failure to the United States. This was a weapon that Britain was counting on, but the two leaders decided that the "Polaris," a highly successful missile could be substituted. New trouble in the Congo is another key matter on the agenda. CUBAN PRISONERS: FOOD & DRUGS READIED FOR CASTRO Cargo planes converge on an airport near Miami loaded with medicine and food which Castro has demanded before he will release 1,100 men taken in the Bay of Pigs invasion. 60 INCH SNOWFALL: EUROPE LASHED BY WINTER STORM Gales with hurricane force and smothering snow storms have swept Europe from Scandinavia to Italy. In the French Alps wind whipped snow stranded tourists, disrupted food deliveries and contributed to a score of deaths. PRICELESS ART: MONA LISA LOANED TO UNITED STATES BY FRANCE: One of the most famous ladies the world has ever known has arrived in the United States. She is La Gioconda, or more familiarly, MONA LISA. Under heavy escort, in an air conditioned truck, the famous painting is taken to Washington, D.C., for exhibition.
