United Nations Marks Signing of Charter (Universal Newsreel, Jun 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: UNITED NATIONS MARKS SIGNING OF CHARTER Twenty years ago 50 nations met in San Francisco to take part in the birth of a World Organization that promised peace among men. Though the United Nations has fallen short of the ambitious dream of 1945, it has achieved many notable gains. It has not prevented wars, but in the field of agriculture, health, child welfare and technical aid, it has contributed much toward world progress. Here are scenes at the original meeting and at the 20th anniversary observance - both at the San Francisco Opera House. SPORTS TOP JUMPERS SHOW HOW IT'S DONE At Hamburg, Germany, 15,000 people see 42 of the world's best horses and riders in competition for the Earl of Derby title. Although a German meet, it is named for the English horseman. He would have been proud of some of the form and grace as revealed by the camera. Nelson Pessoa aboard "Gran Geste" covers the 17 jumps in 161 seconds without a single fault.
