REPORT FROM VIETNAM
The frustrating war in Vietnam is not only a battle against the Vietcong but against another formidable enemy – the jungle! It is a series of minor battles, small pockets of action like the one pictured here. Loyal government troops flush the Red rebels from foxholes near Saigon and kill 82 with the loss of 8 government men.
SNOW CAN BE BEAUTIFUL:
In Japan they don’t just sit around a hot habachi and wait for spring when it snows. They hold a festival with towering ice sculptures that attracts people from all over the nation. It’s a sad day when warm weather arrives and the show goes down the drain.
“STRANGE BEDFELLOLWS” MEANS BEAUTY:
The world premiere of the new Universal comedy, “Strange Bedfellows” is a gala affair in Florida. They dedicate a new plush theatre in Hollywood, Florida and hold a beauty contest to select “Miss Gina” – named for the picture’s star, Gina Lollobrigida. Gig Young, who is also in “Strange Bedfellows”, does the honors for the beauty winner.

His new mark topples the record held by speedster Peter Snell of New Zealand. |

WATER FOR GITMO:
A year-long shortage of water at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo, Cuba, comes to an end as three distilling plants go into operation.
Castro rationed the water – we answered by cutting off the pipe line and tanking it in from the States.
The base is now self-sufficient – as far as water is concerned.
THE FIRST ENGINEER:
The Step Pyramid, near modern Cairo, was built 5,000 years ago by the world’s first engineer. Imhotep by name. For three decades a search has been on for his tomb. Recent discoveries point to new clues to the site of the tomb – where frescoes and ancient writings might be found to reveal more about this pre-Christian era genius.
THE ANIMAL CORNER:
It’s children’s day at the Taipei Zoological Garden on the Island of Formosa. You can’t get in unless accompanied by a child. The animals seem to sense they have a “something else” audience and put on one of their best performances.
GALS HIT THE SILK:
How are you going to keep ‘em in the kitchen after this??? Russian women are going in for the sport of parachuting in a big way. They start at 5,000 feet – but after test in high altitude chambers, they take off for the stratosphere for five and six mile jumps. Lady, it’s a long way down!!

NEW VIETNAM COUP

Meanwhile, more and more nations are pressuring the United States to sit down at the conference table – all the while American Jets are stepping up attacks on North Vietnam.
FRANCE EXHIBITS ART TREASURES:
A breath-taking collection of ecclesiastical art is assembled at France’s Museum of Decorative Arts. More than 500 of the nation’s towns and villages contribute to the first show of its kind since 1900.
It took 15 years to prepare for the exhibit. Probably the last of its kind.

AIR UNITS RESCUE WOUNDED FROM JUNGLE:
Mechanical “Angels of Mercy” to wounded soldiers in the Vietnam war are the helicopters – flying ambulances that can easily penetrate the jungle and drop down to pick up the wounded who might otherwise die. Here is a typical action scene near Quinhon where government troops launched a successful drive to clear Route 19 – a vital link across South Vietnam.
UNEARTH RARE FIND:
In the modern City of Alexandria, Egypt, a valuable archeological find is being unearthed near the center of town. It is the ruins of ancient baths that were constructed 2,000 years ago. They were much like our modern Turkish baths – with hot and cold rooms.
HAIR RAISING STYLES:
Here are the hair styles to go with the new Paris creations, at least, that’s what they say in fashion circles. The hair-dos are be-jeweled! Be-lacquered, beguiling and be-labored! But are they becoming?
