Description
The original release sheet reads: CRISIS IN LAOS: - - - - U.S. FLEET ON ALERT Units of the Seventh Fleet have been sped to the waters off Southeast Asia as the situation in Laos becomes more critical. Red rebels, breaching the cease-fire, push 100 miles South, driving 2,000 Royal Troops across the border into Thailand. NEWS IN BRIEF: ARMED FORCES OPEN HOUSE It's "Open House" around the nation as the Armed Forces play host during ARMED FORCES Week. At Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland the kids take over --- and it's a ball for all concerned. HOME IS THE SAILER - - AFTER 7 1/2 MONTHS The icebreaker "EASTWIND" returns to Boston, after duty at the South Pole. There's a lot of joyful reunions for husbands and fathers. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO It was an era of social change and Mrs. F.D. Roosevelt inaugurates a new Boys Club. Relations with Moscow were brighter then as Ambassador Joseph E. Davies returned from Russia. There was a Royal wedding that caught public fancy...Princess Juliana of the Netherlands wed Prince Bernhard. King George VI was preparing for his Coronation...and in his family portrait was a future Queen...Elizabeth. College boys were college boys then too. They held an inter-collegiate shaving contest - it to no one in a lather.
