NATO Near Nuclear Agreement (Universal Newsreel, Dec 1964)

Description

The original release sheet reads: NATO NEAR NUCLEAR AGREEMENT The meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Paris has Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara presenting the United States case for a unified front with a joint nuclear force-something France opposes. They also confirmed that nuclear demolition bombs have been planted along the east border. This is said to have impressed France and for the first time in months it appears that the Allies are once more allied. DUKE WEATHERS OPERATION The Duke of Windsor undergoes an abdominal operation in Houston, Texas, and the 70-year-old former King of England comes through with flying colors as his Duchess stands by. The Duchess is the American for whom the Duke gave up his throne 38 years ago. TED KENNEDY WALKS AGAIN Fulfilling a promise he made at the time his back was broken in a plane crash, Edward M. Kennedy walks out of New England Baptist Hospital and goes to Florida for Christmas. The Massachusetts Senator spent six months in a specially constructed bed. LIFE-LINE FOR DOWNED PILOTS The Air Force reveals a new technique for rescuing pilots in remote areas. A baloon lifts a 500 foot line aloft and a rescue plaen snags the cord and reels the downed pilot. SPORTS PLEASE, MR. POLICEMAN, CALL A GENDARME!! Tourists see some strange sights in Brussels as police from several nations direct traffic. A Canadian Mountie, a girl bobby from London, and a New York cop are included. The New Yorker must have thought he was back in the subway rush as 3,000 runners compete in Belgians' annual cross-country bash.
