Description

The original release sheet reads: RANGER FAILS: MISSES MOON - ORBITS SUN One of the nation's most ambitious space projects, the launching of the Ranger Three to the Moon has mixed results. A second stage boost is too strong pushing the capsule past the Moon wide of its mark. Valuable data, however, is recorded by space scientists. POPE JOHN XXIII CONSULTS ON COUNCIL Plans for an important milestone in Church history - an Ecumenical Council - are near completion as Cardinals and Bishops meet to complete the agenda. KENNEDY VISITS KING SAUD At Palm Beach, the President visits the King of Saudi Arabia who is recovering from surgery. Princess Delal, 6, steals the show from the two world leaders. NATIVES GAIN SELF-RULE IN SOUTH AFRICA The Transkei area populated by Bantu tribesmen is granted a semblance of self-government as South Africa authorities announce plans to let 10,000,000 tribesmen govern themselves. THE "TWIST" AT ITS SOURCE German scientists discover that pre-historic creatures did the "TWIST" and they have the evidence to prove it to contestants in a dance contest. SPORTS LEATHER PUSHERS WHOOP IT UP At Sunnyside Gardens in New York, Golden Glovers mix it up in an evening that packs a wallop.....There are knockouts galore in the heavyweight class.
