Arab Parley (Universal Newsreel, Aug 1967)

Description

The original release sheet reads: ARAB PARLEY Thirteen Arab Foreign Ministers meet to agree on a future summit meeting of Arab heads of state. Wide economic differences, especially concerning the U.S.-British oil embargo, are expected to continue to division of Arab nations. VIET CONG ATTACK A U.S. oil depot blasted by Viet Cong guerrillas using mortars and small arms. It's the closest major assault to Saigon in recent months. Fires and explosions feed on 50,000 gallons of fuel oil and 37 Americans are wounded. FOREST FIRE Seven days of forest fires sweep woods near Spain's world-famous "costa Brava" resort towns. A sudden wind shift allows the blaze to be contained. Careless tourists and high temperatures are blamed. TOKYO BEACH Japan's Shonan Beach, outside Tokyo, looks just like Coney Island on a typical Sunday afternoon. Over 1 1/2 million city residents jammed both the beach and the road during a heat wave. POLICE SHOW The annual British South African Police Show gives the public a thrill with motorcycle trick-riding, dog obedience tests, horseback riding...and all of the officers are now recruits. YACHTING Off the Isle of Wight, the Duke of Edinburgh, his son, Prince Charles and daughter, Princess Anne, join in the New York Yacht Club's Challenge Cup Race. They don't win but earlier, the young Prince beat his father, an experienced yachtsman, in a surprise win. FASHIONS Three major fashion houses show their Fall and Winter fashions in Rome. Garnett's crepe evening dress has an elaborate necklace for contrast; Balestra's "soft" look is in wool, chenille, and lame; Fontana's dramatic "gamekeeper" ensemble includes turtleneck sweater and tartan slacks. PAN AM GAMES 17-year old Claudia Kolb of Santa Clara, California, wins her third gold medal, setting a world record in the 400-medley swim. Win Young of Arizona is the gold medalist in the men's ten-meter platform diving.
