Description

The original release sheet reads: CONG BLAST BILLET The second major terrorist attack on an American installation in Saigon in four months takes six lives and injured 60. A shocking revelation of how, at will, the VIETC0NG terrorists can penetrate the seat of government of Vietnam. Also, the anti-premier Ky and U.S. demonstrations that have made it necessary to keep Americans off Saigon streets. MRS. LBJ AT FIESTA Recovered from a bout with the flu, Mrs. Johnson is started on a tour from the White House by her husband. The First Lady is out to learn more about the vast Lone Star reaches and she makes her start at a light Fiesta in San Antonio...turning on a new system of illumination to light the river that runs through the city. NEW OFFBEAT BOAT It's called the New .Moon and it's the pride and consternation of the Norfolk Yacht Harbor of California's Oakland Estuary. Concocted by sculptor David Brooks, it's an ark of many-splendored stain glass windows with more facets than a diamond. How it would fare in a gale is anybody's guess but it's kooky and wonderful. SPORTS MOTORCYCLE WIZARDS Royal artillery motorcyclists in a thrilling preview of a trick riding show they are preparing for the entertainment of England's speed and stunt enthusiasts. THE FLORIDA DERBY Williamston Kid, 90 to 1, is placed first in rich Florida Derby at Gulf Stream Park. Actual winner, "ABE'S HOPE", is disqualified for bumping and places fourth. A thrilling prelude to the forth-coming Kentucky Derby and other Triple Crown races.
