Death Toll Mounts (Universal Newsreel, Jul 1963)

Description

The original release sheet reads: DEATH TOLL MOUNTS: QUAKE FLATTENS YUGOSLAV TOWN Scarcely more than rubble and ruin is left of the once thriving Yugoslav city of Skopje. Rescue teams continue to discover survivors almost miraculously among the ruins; but even so the death toll is expected to reach 1500 and the city itself, already 90 percent demolished will not be rebuilt. HARRIMAN REPORTS TO PRESIDENT Under-Secretary of State Averell Harriman arrives in Hyannisport, Massachusetts with a report on the successful nuclear test ban treaty negotiations for the president. Mr. Kennedy, addressing the nation, describes the treaty as a first step away from war. WINDMILSS ARE TOURIST ATTRACTION Tourists with an eye and a camera for the past, flock to the tiny Dutch town of Kinderdijk, where seventeen windmills, two hundred years old, are put into operation during July and August. The great turning sails are irresistable, too, for the newsreel camera. NEW FILM SETS NEW FASHIONS Inspired by the Univeral Film "THE THRILL OF IT ALL", starring Doris Day and James Garner, are fashions shown on a Caribbean cruise. Dresses for every occasion reflect the casual chic of those worn in the picture.
