Congo Rescue (Universal Newsreel, Nov 1964)

Description

The original release sheet reads: CONGO RESCUE: PARATROOP DROP SAVES HOSTAGES A dramatic camera document is recorded in the Congo as more than 500 Belgian paratroopers are flown into Stanleyville to rescue white hostages held by Congo rebels. As the troopers reach the town, machine guns are turned on the whites and 30 die minutes before rescue. U.S. air force c-130 transports shuttle between Leopoldville and Stanleyville to fly out more than 1,000 foreigners. From various towns wrested from the rebels. 1,700 whites from 17 nations are freed from barbaric capture. ALL OUT FOR THE MUNSTER PARADE That's not a misspelling-TV's way-out family, "The Munster's" help escort Santa Clause to New York to usher in the Christmas season. They drive down broadway in the $20,000 "munstermobile" that groans on all six-cylinders, but gets only three miles to the ghoulin. SPORTS FOOTBALL ARMY FINALLY SCUTTLES NAVY The Kaydets come into Philadelphia looking for blood-Navy blood. The Midshipmen have come out on top in each of their last five meetings-but this year it's a different story as the West Pointers down the boys from Annapolis, 11 to 8 in a game that was a thriller. USC UPSETS UNBEATEN NOTRE DAME: With nine straight victories under their belt, the Irish come roaring into Los Angeles, but leave with bowed and bloody heads. The U.S.C. eleven comes back in the second half to outplay Notre Dame to a farethewell and win the game with less than a minute and a half to play. They topple the Irish from their number one ranking.
