Vietnam Unrest (Universal Newsreel, May 1966)

Description

The original release sheet reads: VIETNAM UNREST In both DaNang and Saigon some semblance of normal life returns following almost two months of violence, riots, and street incidents. Tear gas was used by troops, recently, to quell the disturbances but both spots maintain their state of unrest and resentment toward Ky's military government. CRUISING FAMILY The globe-girdling Davenports of San Diego...father, mother and 10-year-old daughter arrive in Africa on the last leg of their so-far-six-year-old world cruise. They've seen the Pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Africa...on to the Carribean...and home. Even the family cat loves the trip...and who wouldn't? WALKING CHAIR An eight-legged Walking Chair for handicapped and crippled children is demonstrated in California. The Vehicle, dubbed "Moonwalker" from the Space Research from which it evolved, can climb a curbing, turn, walk in sand, mud, rough fields and up slopes, operated by the child, and powered by batteries. MOON-SHOT PREVIEW At Cape Kennedy, a gigantic Saturn Rocket is actually rolled toward its launching pad, in a successful demonstration. The 36-story-tall Rocket, upright on a special "crawler'' tractor, bigger than a baseball diamond, takes all day to make the one-mile-an-hour, three-mile trip.
