Ike in Tunisia, Paris (Universal Newsreel, Dec 1959)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. IKE IN TUNISIA, PARIS - Ike's historic peace mission carries him to Tunisia, most pro-Western of the Arab nations and smallest stop on his entire tour. President Bourguiba presents an Arab steed and a cheering populace hails Ike. In France, an enthusiastic reception in Toulon but in Paris, the character of Ike's mission is altered as he confers in momentous pre-summit talks with De Gaulle, Adenauer and MacMillan that results in invitations to Khrushchev for summit meetings in the Big Four capitals. 2A/B. NEW CARDINALS ELEVATED - In the Vatican, Pope John XXIII elevates 8 new Cardinals, two of them Americans to the Sacred College in solemn consistory rites. Later, in unprecedented ceremonies at which are present the 3 American Cardinals, Cardinal Spellman of New York, Cardinal Meyer of Chicago and Cardinal Muench of North Dakota, a decree is read before the Pope declaring venerable Mother Seton who may become the first U.S.-born Saint. / QUADS BAPTIZED - In New York, ancient and colorful rites of the Greek Orthodox Church accompany the christening of the 6-month-old Kajouras quadruplets. 3. PENN STATE WINS LIBERTY BOWL — 7-0 - At Philadelphia, Penn State against Alabama in the first edition of a new post-season classic the Liberty Bowl. It's a scoreless tussle all the way until a bit of skull-duggery in the form of fake field goal try brings the Nittany Lions the lone tally and Penn State wins 7-0.
