Flood Toll Heavy (Universal Newsreel, Jun 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: FLOOD TOLL HEAVY Floods set off by violent thunderstorms rage through six states - from Colorado to Arkansas. The South Platte River cut a mile-wide swathe through Denver, causing damage in the millions. Fourteen known dead in Colorado as the flood moves into Kansas, the next hardest hit state. Dodge City, is flooded as the waters rise 14 feet within an hour. BERNARD BARUCH DEAD AT 94 One of the leading figures of our time is dead. Bernard Baruch, whose favorite office was a bench in Central Park. Mr. Baruch was a quiet philanthropist who gave away the millions he accumulated as a financier and Wall Street broker. He was adviser to Presidents from Wilson to Kennedy. GEMINI TWINS IN PARIS The Russians scored a propaganda coupe at the International Air Show in Paris with their giant plane...world's largest. The United States came right back by showing two aces - Astronauts McDivitt and White who arrive from the U.S. aboard the Presidential plane. MISSILE PASSES TEST The most powerful rocket known is launched at Cape Kennedy. It is the Titan 3-G, 127 feet of monstrous power that is boosted into space by two solid fuel rockets attached to its side. The shoot is a complete success and foreshadows the orbiting of a 30-foot laboratory for study in outer space.
