Description

The original release sheet reads: MORE TROOPS ARRIVE IN VIETNAM Members of the famed 101st Airborne Division arrive at Cam Ranh Bay to reinforce United States forces in South Vietnam. The 3,900 paratroopers bring to 79,000 the number of American servicemen now in South Viet Nam. The men of the Screaming Eagle Division lose no time in taking up positions on the perimeter of new new base which they will defend. MEDICARE BILL SIGNED President Harry S. Truman is present at ceremonies that see the Medicare Bill signed into law by President Johnson. The former President campaigned for Medicare 20 years ago, but it took two decades for his proposals to become law. LATEST PHOTOS OF MARS Tracking stations are the cogs that made the Mariner IV flight a success. Like this one in Spain they receive pieces and bits of information from the Satellite's tape recorders that are translate into the most remarkable space pictures ever made. SPORTS GYMNASTS FROM 40 NATIONS COMPETE They call it a gymnaestrada...but by ANY name it's an impressive event. Beneath the national flags the gymnasts compete...not for prizes, but for fun of it. There is everything from the trampoline to aesthetic dances. In other words, something for everyone.
