NEWSREEL HIGHLIGHTS OF 1965 (UE65051)
U.N. MARKS SIGNING OF CHARTER
Twenty years ago 50 nations met in San Francisco to take part in the birth of a world organization that promised peace among men. Though the United Nations has fallen short of the ambitious dreams of 1945, it has achieved many notable gains. It has not prevented wars, but in the field of agriculture, health, child welfare and technical aid, it has contributed much toward world progress. Here are scenes both at the original meeting and at the 20th anniversary celebration - both at the San Francisco Opera House.
TOP JUMPERS SHOW HOW IT'S DONE
At Hamburg, 15,000 people see 42 of the world's best horses and riders in competition for the Earl of Derby title. Although a German meet, it is named for the English horseman - and he would have been proud of some of the form that is revealed by the camera. Nelson Pessoa on "Gran Geste" does the 17 jumps in 161 seconds without a single fault. |
