Description

The original release sheet reads: COMMON MARKET: FRANCE VETOES BRITAIN'S ENTRY The meeting of the common market commission in Brussels is a wake for Britain's hopes of joining the nations of the continent in a unified economic front. Five of the member nations welcomed British participation, but DeGaulle (aiming at French Domination) kept Britain out. GALES LASH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA The record-breaking drought here is broken with a bang as gale-force winds whip a downpour over the area. Thirteen people are injured as the longest dry spell in 64 years comes to an end. THE GREEKS HAVE A WORD FOR IT-"LOVE" The king and queen of Denmark are welcomed to Greece by that country's king and queen as they arrive with Princess Anne-Marie who has become engaged to the Greek crown prince, Constantine. SPORTS "OZO" WINS PRIX D'AMERIQUE: Europe's richest trotting race goes to "OZO", a five year old French mare who is a champ in every rippling muscle. She's challenged at the finish by "Oscar RL", but she goes on to win a chance to compete in New York next April. RALLY BATTLES SNOW STORMS: Snow adds to the hazards of the Monte Carlo rally, often termed the world's toughest road race. It's over icy roads down to the warm coast where switchbacks call for skillful driving. This year's victors are a team from Sweden.
