United States Feeds Dominicans (Universal Newsreel, May 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: UNITED STATES FEEDS DOMINICANS: POWER STRUGGLE ON With an uneasy truce in effect in Santo Domingo, the second act is a maneuvering for power between the rebels and the military junta. Rebels claim the constitutional President is Colonel Francisco Caamano Deno, a professional soldier who received Marine training in the U.S.A. Opposing him is the new junta choice of General Antonio Imbert Barreras. Meanwhile, the United States has turned attention to the humanitarian task of feeding the people, regardless of their political philosophy. More than 250,000 pounds of food is being distributed daily. SAN SALVADOR 'QUAKE El Salvador, Central American nation with a long history of disastrous earthquakes is hard hit again. This tremor centers around San Marcos and Santo Tomas, near the capital of San Salvador. Over 100 dead - more than 700 injured. HIGH-SPEED COMMUTERS The first commercial application of the hovercraft is soon to get underway in San Francisco. The radical craft is to operate across the Bay to Oakland, under government subsidy. Backers of the project are hopeful the low-flying hovercraft have a high-flying future. SPORTS BARKING UP THE RIGHT TREE The Afghan hound and his cousin, the greyhound, are top dogs in Germany as the racing season get underway. Radical camera angles reveal the beauty of both breeds as they tear down the track like it was a call-to-dinner! HAVIN' A DUNKIN' GOOD TIME Another season underway in Germany is the sport of kayak racing as 115 clubs from five nations compete in the curtain-raiser for the European championships. Low water and strong currents make this year's race one of the toughest in its ten-year history.
