British Troops Pour Into Malaysia (Universal Newsreel, Jan 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: BRITISH TROOPS POUR INTO MALAYSIA: Hong Kong is a bee-hive of activity as the British rush troops, still in civilian clothes, into this Crown Colony. The military build-up is to aid the new Federation of Malaysia, the target of threats and guerilla invasions from Indonesia which has said it is withdrawing from the United Nations. The arrival of the troops releases a contingent of Gurkhas for stations in Malaysia. DOCK STRIKE LOSS RISES: The East Coast longshoremen's strike that has paralyzed shipping from Maine to Texas is costing an estimated $25,000,000 a day as the piers lie idle. 60,000 workers walked out after rejecting a contract and the seamen's unions have refused to cross picket lines, tying up all U.S. flag ships at their piers. HONOR "GUNS OF AUGUST" AUTHOR: Barbara Tuckman is honored by fellow Pulitzer Prize winners as she is the guest of the Women's National Press Club. Her best seller has been made into a definitive narrative of World War I, incorporating rare film footage never before shown.

Samuel Rosen, Treasurer, and Ned Depinet, President of the Memorial Fund, honor Mrs. Winston Guest and Mrs. Herbert Sheftel for their work in raising more than $100,000 for a new medical and research library at the facility in Saranac Lake, New York. SPORTS FOOTBALL WEST PROS BEAT EAST ALL-STARS The grand climax of the pro football season at Los Angeles, the West All-Stars take on the East and run over them roughshod.
