Johnson Studies DeGaulle Suggestion (Universal Newsreel, Feb 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: JOHNSON STUDIES DeGAULLE SUGGESTION President Charles De Gaulle holds one of his rare press conferences in Paris and stages another attempt to have the voice of France heard on the international scene. He wants to call a five-nation summit conference to re-shape the United Nations. This would involve Red China sitting down with France, Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States. An obvious impossibility according to U.S. observers. In Washington, at his news conference, the President says he would have to study the proposal. Meanwhile, Washington officialdom appears to be looking on the idea with jaundiced eye.... WAR HERO RETIRES President Johnson also takes time out to honor the man who built the Air Force to its present awesome power. GENERAL CURTIS E. LeMAY, retires. He is the last of World War II combat generals to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General LeMay receives another cluster to represent his fourth Medal of Honor. SPORTS GOLDEN GLOVES GET A WALLOPING START The 1965 Golden Gloves eliminations get underway as teh 147-pound sub-noice class mixes it up. The N.Y. Daily News Welfare Association stages the tournament for charity. The fans get their money's worth in this whirlwind tryout. DOWN-HILL SKIERS FIND IT ROUGH GOING At Megeve, France, there's a curtain-raiser for the world downhill championships. The fast course takes its toll with skiers bouncing out of bounds like ten-pins! Jean-Claude Killy and Ludwig Leitner battle it out with Leitner copping the trophy by a 1/2 second.
