Final Tribute to Herbert Clark Hoover (Universal Newsreel, Oct 1964)

Description

The original release sheet reads: FINAL TRIBUTE TO HERBERT CLARK HOOVER: The 31st President of the United States lies in state in the Rotunda of the Capitol in Washington as a sorrowing world joins the nation in mourning his passing. Herbert Hoover overcame the fate of being a "Depression President" to gain new stature as a statesman and humanitarian of international renown. He is laid to rest at West Branch, Iowa, his boyhood home. LESLIE CARON "STAR OF THE YEAR" The 35th annual Allied States Association of Motion Picture Exhibitors convention hears Senator Philip A. Hart address the meeting before confering on Leslie Caron the award "Star of the Year". The word in Hollywood is that Miss Caron has another prize in her new picture "Father Goose" which will be released during the Christmas season. Sounds like a "Happy Holiday"! OLYMPICS END WITH UNITED STATES TRIUMPH The United States teams wind up with 36 gold medals to beat out their closest rival-the Soviet Union. In the 400-meter relays, U.S., anchored by Bob Hayes, sets new world record and Olympic record. Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia repeats his triumph of 1960 to win the marathon with effortless ease. Then the closing ceremonies are a mixture of exuberence and regret as the torch is extinguished in the national stadium in Japan to be relighted once more during the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.
