Report on Viet Nam (Universal Newsreel, Aug 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: REPORT ON VIET NAM On the heels of the major U.S. Marine victory just south of the Chu Lai base, South Vietnamese troops are stepping up the pace of their search and destroy missions. 'Copters swoop down on jungle pockets that conceal Viet Cong guerrillas and deploy soldiers to surround the area until armored columns can move up. While ground forces slog through the jungle, B-52's continue to make the long flight from Guam to drop bombs on isolated hideouts of the Viet Cong. OCEAN EXPLORERS As Gemini V continues to probe the mysteries of Outer Space, a different kind of capsule descends into the depths of the sea to explore another of man's remaining frontiers. Sealab II, a self-contained submersible will be manned by two crews, of ten men each, for the next thirty days as it rests 215 feet below the surface of the Pacific off La Jolla, California. Famed Astronaut, Scott Carpenter, is among the men who are taking part in the experiment which began with a descent of Sealab I off the coast of Bermuda. Man is a most adaptable creature. The sky above, the sea below, belong to those who conquer.
