Description

The original release sheet reads: DEATH OF A STAR: MARILYN MONROE DIES TRAGICALLY One of the most famous stars in Hollywood history dies at 36. Marilyn Monroe was found dead in bed - under circumstances that were in tragic contrast to her glamorous career as a comic talent. EISENHOWER WELCOMED IN GERMANY The man who once commanded the Allies against the Germans receives a warm welcome from Chancellor Adenauer and the people of Bonn. PENNIES KEEP ARTWORK IN BRITAIN With the farthings and shillings of the little people - Britain saves a work by da Vinci that might have gone to a foreign museum. SPORTS "BLACK SHEEP," a six to one outsider wins the rich Chicago race as he beats out the favored "Riden" and earns $71,000. FOOTBALL IN AUGUST!!!?? Yep. The College All-Stars put up the good fight - but the Green Bay Packers show the stuff that made them professional champs and down the Collegians - 42 to 20.
