Air Exodus Begins (Universal Newsreel, Dec 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: AIR EXODUS BEGINS The Wings of Freedom. The first Cuban refugees to be air-lifted from Castro's CUba arrive in Florida - the beginning of what may become the greatest exodus in history. There are only 75 in this first group, but they are the harbingers of an estimated three to four thousand a month who will be flown to freedom by the United States. LANDMARK DESTROYED The sounding of five alarms can't save the Church of Saint Matthew and Saint Timothy on New York's West Side. 120 children were at Bible classes when the Sexton discovered smoke. They were safely evacuated, but the flames quickly spread through the 72-year-old structure, a Victorian Gothic structure that was tastefully ugly. UNVEIL MOON TAXI When you arrive on the moon for the summer vacation sometime soon and hail a cab - the driver may appear with something like this. Out on Long Island they have built - or destroyed - two acres to simulate the moon's surface. They are testing a moon bug that will transport men and goods on the tricky surface - a lunar liner that is something for astronauts to moon over. SPORTS FOOTBALL TCU EDGES OUT SMU: Southern Methodist against Texas Christian at Ft. Worth and it's the SMU Frogs who jump into a lead in the first half. The Texas Mustangs aren't spurred on until the final quarter when they get a touchdown to tie it up and then a 30-yard field goal for the winning edge....10 to 7. SAVINGS BOND TRAILER
