Universal Newsreel Volume 40, Release 86, Part 2

Description

The original release sheet reads: WASH. D.C. DEMO Violence at the Pentagon, more than six-undred persons arrested, and the general feeling that everyone lost are the parts and sum of a two-day anti-VIetnam-War demonstration in the nation's capital. NEW JET A new turbo-jet passenger-transport, manufactured together by Germany, Holland, and England, goes on display in Bremen. Special brakes and tires allow short takeoffs and landings. SATO Japanese Premier Sato visits with South Vietnamese Premier Ky in a brief goodwill stop, part of his southeast Asian tour which prompted a Tokyo riot. Sato refrains from criticizing the North Vietnamese but says Hanoi should accept U.S. peace offers. NEW EXTINGUISHER The Navy's answer to recent tragic fires aboard aircraft carriers: "Purple K." It's a new liquid-extinguisher which douses 150 gallons of flaming fuel spread over 600 feet, using just one man and 25 seconds. VENUS PROBE Mariner 5, our Venus probe space-vehicle, sweeps by the planet and sends back data differing from Soviet findings. Future data will check out radioactivity and whether man can land safely on Venus. FIRE-WALKING Chinese religious pilgrims gather in Malaysia for their annual fire-walking ceremony. It's an 85-year-old custom and the giant "hot-foot" attracts pain-defying mediums and penitents. WINDSHIELD An inflatable windshield goes on display in Paris. Perfect for a temporary replacement while on the road, remove the smashed glass, blow it up, and tape it on! FOOTBALL Tennessee ends Alabama's two-year, 25-game unbeaten streak, defeating the Crimson Tide 24-13. Third-string Vol quarterback Bubba Wyche leads his squad, whose defense and interceptions help mould the big victory.
