SEA SAGA:
The final act in a drama of man vs. sea. "The Tinkerbelle" -----78 days out of Falmouth, Mass., makes landfall at Falmouth, England. At the helm of the "Tinkerbelle" is Robert Manry, Cleveland newspaperman, who realized a life-long ambition. Mr. Manry's solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean was made in the smallest vessel ever to make the West-East crossing -(only 13 1/2 feet in length).

THE SAGA OF GEMINI FIVE
America's most ambitious Space Flight to date ends in total triumph - for the Astronauts endurance and for scientific achievement - the Flight of GEMINI FIVE brings back valuable information for future flights. Lt.Col. Gordon Cooper, Jr., and Lt.Comdr. Charles Conrad, Jr., spent 8 days in space...8 days that ranged from periods of idleness and boredom when they floated to conserve power - to days of hectic tests that sent back to earth valuable data on what man can expect on a trop to the Moon. Their return to earth was as spectacular as the end of any flight. A computer malfunction sent them overshooting their mark, but they are quickly picked up and taken to the Carrier Lake Champlain. Astronauts Cooper and Conrad functioned better than their machine...scientists would give them a three-Sigma factor - 99.999 percent certain to function as planned. GEMINI FIVE was plagued with fuel cell failure early in the flight, scrubbing some experiments - but again man proved able to improvise under strange conditions and win out. Next: a planned rendezvous in space within the next month or two. |

SCORES BURIED BY SWISS AVALANCHE:
One of the most horrible disasters in Swiss history takes an estimated 90 lives. A thousand men were at work on a hydro-electric project at Saas-Fee near the Italian border when a section of the Allalin Glacier broke off, sending millions of tons of ice and rock hurtling down the mountainside crushing to death 90 lives. Severe weather - snowstorms - hampered the search for bodies.
INSTANT AIRSTRIPS:
A well-placed bomb can put an airstrip out of operation for many days. Now the Air Force has developed a method of getting a runway back in business in a matter of hours. Bulldozers fill in the crater and an aluminum sheath makes the strip as good as new.
NEW COINAGE RUSHED:
The San Francisco Mint....closed for ten years, has been reactivated as the nation faces a mounting coin shortage. New coinage will have a muted tinkle since the silver shortage necessarily shrinks the amount in coins. So to 'coin' a phrase: "Hi, Ho, Silver"...away!!
SPORTS
PINT-SIZE BASEBALL PROS:
There are 20,000 Little League fans on hand at Williamsport, Pa., for the World Championship for small fry. A team from Windsor Locks, Connecticut, outscores a team from across the border - Canada, to take the biggest crown in younger-set competition. |
