Missile Bases (Universal Newsreel, Nov 1962)

Description

The original release sheet reads: MISSILE BASES: CASTRO BALKS AT U.N. TEAM U Thant, Acting Secretary General of the U.N. returns from his conference with Fidel Castro optimistic over the dismantling of rocket bases - an optimism not shared by others who have studied the dictator. The lights burn late in the White House as the naval quarantine is resumed and surveillance flights begin anew. INDIA FIGHTS BACK: WEST AIDS DEFENSE AGAINST RED CHINA The question of Red China comes up again in the United Nations and their bid for membership is quickly rejected in the wake of their attack on India. In India itself, Krishna Menon is fired as Minister of Defense for refusing to recognize the danger of the Red Chinese attack. ROYAL PAGEANT: QUEEN OPENS PARLIAMENT The pageantry that is the British Throne is mounted in all of its glory as the Queen rides forth on her traditional trip to open Parliament. This year there are sidelights provided by frightened horses. One horse throws his sentry and the Queen's carriage horses almost bolt when a flash-bulb scares them. HORSES AND ORCHIDS: SOCIETY TURNS OUT FOR HORSE SHOW Diamonds and tails, sleek horses and trim riders - they all add up to the 79th National Horse Show - the most glittering pageant of the New York fall social season. Jacks or Better and his rider, Ben O'Meara, take the Imperial Puissance, another in their long string of victories.
