NEWSREEL HIGHLIGHTS OF 1965 (UE65091)
UNITED NATIONS BARS PEKING:
For the 15th time the United Nations considers the admission of Red China to the world body. The U.S. again leads the opposition to a resolution that would oust Nationalist China and seat the Reds. This year, however, the pattern of voting changes as more and more countries either vote to admit Red China or abstain. The final result is 47 to 47 with 20 abstaining. Observers expect that Red China will be seated next year.
PRESIDENT HOSTS MEG:
The most coveted bits of paper in Washington these past few days were invitations to one of the many social events attended by Princess Margaret and her husband, Lord Snowden. If lightning struck, you were in - feeling way out. The Princess makes a round of Washington landmarks, including President Kennedy's grave, Mt. Vernon, the Lincoln Memorial and the National Cathedral. The climax of her visit is a dinner-dance at the White House on the President and Mrs. Johnson's 31st wedding anniversary.
RED-HOT HOT RODS:
They even have a Queen at the Hot-Rod Show in New York where the uninitiated would be lost - and hardly give some of these creations garage-room. However, some of these customized cars are valued as high as $70,000 (two cigarette lighters standard) and on display is the car built for The Munsters - the ideal wagon for a ghost-to-ghost tour.

DON'T STAND THERE, BRING THE IODINE:
At Lafayette, Indiana, Purdue goes on a rampage against hapless Minnesota. After a scoreless first quarter, the Boilermakers turn on the steam and the Gophers can do nothing but head for their hole. Final score: Purdue 35 - Minnesota O. |

PRINCESS CAPTIVATED BY NEW YORK CITY:
Winding up her three-week tour of the U.S., in New York, Princess Margaret hits a hectic schedule. East Side, West Side - - all Around the Town. She visits the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a Police Athletic League clubhouse for children and seems at home in any strata of New York. She says that her visit will be among her indelible memories.
KENNEDY MEMORIAL
In Dallas, in Washington and around the world tribute is paid to John Fitzgerald Kennedy on the second anniversary of his assassination. Ceremonies are held at the scene in Dallas while in Washington more thousands visit his grave. It is estimated that more than eleven million people have visited the gravesite in two years.

MICHIGAN STATE IS NUMBER ONE:
The Michigan State Spartans take the measure of Notre Dame's Irish to end an undefeated season and win themselves a trip to the Rose Bowl. The 12 to 3 score doesn't reflect the complete control of the game that Michigan State held. The Irish, for a matter of fact, wound up with a deficit in their rushing game.
U C L A ALSO SMELLS ROSES: The U C L A Bruins score two touch-downs in the final four minutes of play to defeat their arch rivals, Southern California, and win the other Rose Bowl berth. U C L A really staged a cliff-hanger as Gary Beban tosses passes of 34 yards and 52 yards for the final scores. |

STORMS LASH EUROPE:
Rains and winds of near-hurricane force sweep Europe from Scandinavia to Spain - the worst such storm in 75 years. The entire continent followed the news about a fight to save the freighter "Gertrude Luehre". The vessel went ashore at Stade along the River Elbe and the crew battled for 12 days to save her. Salvage experts said it couldn't be done - but the dedicated men safely floated their vessel.

ARKANSAS ENDS ANOTHER PERFECT SEASON:
The Razorbacks play host to Texas Tech at Fayetteville and the Cotton Bown is at stake. Arkansas, winner of 21 straight games, doesn't come from behind until the third quarter when John Brittenum begins to shine at quarterback and sparks his team to victory. It's the second straight Southwest Conference crown for Arkansas.
DARTMOUTH ENDS PRINCETON STREAK:
With at 17-game winning streak behind them, Princeton takes on Dartmouth for the Ivy League title. This game, too, is an aerial thriller with Mal Beard of Dartmouth tossing some brilliant passes - including the longest touchdown pass in Dartmouth history - 79 yards. |

NEW PUNCH FOR VIETNAM FLEET:
The nuclear-powered carrier "Enterprise" has joined the 7th Fleet off the Vietnam coast to lend added power to the Coastal patrol. The mighty carrier will be joined by the nuclear-powered guided-missile frigate "Bainbridge" to become the first such ships in history to enter combat.
L.B.J. HEARS GRAHAM:
The President is among 61,000 people - 10,000 more than the Houston Stadium's capacity for a sporting event - who attend a revival meeting conducted by Billy Graham. The famed religious leader meets with the President after backing the Administrations' stand on Vietnam.
CHRISTMAS CHOPPING TIME:
Across the country there's a new twist to acquiring your Christmas tree - go out into a tree farm, pick it out and chop it down. It's not much cheaper than buying it in town - but it revives that pioneer spirit - in some manner.

ARMY-NAVY END IN TIE:
The Middies and the Kaydets clash in their classic battle before 102,000 in Philadelphia and most of the game is marked by flawless defense play on both sides. The Army scores early and the Navy just before the first half ends. That's all the tallies as the second half is a stand-off, with neither team reaching the others' 30-yard line. |

AIR EXODUS BEGINS:
The Wings of Freedom. The first Cuban refugees to be air-lifted from Castro's Cuba arrive in Florida - - the beginning of what may become the greatest exodus in history. There are only 75 in this first group, but they are the harbingers of an estimated three to four thousand a month who will be flown to freedom by the United States.
LANDMARK DESTROYED:
The sounding of five alarms can't save the Church of Saint Matthew and Saint Timothy on New York's West Side. 120 children were at Bible classes when the Sexton discovered smoke. They were safely evacuated, but the flames quickly spread through the 72-year-old structure, a Victorian Gothic structure that was tastefully ugly.
UNVEIL MOON TAXI:
When you arrive on the moon for the summer vacation sometime soon and hail a cab - the driver may appear with something like this. Out on Long Island they have build - - or destroyed - - two acres to simulate the moon's surface. They are testing a moon bug that will transport men and goods on the tricky surface - a lunar liner that is something for astronauts to moon over.

T C U EDGES OUT S M U:
Southern Methodist against Texas Christian at Ft. Worth and it's the S M U Frogs who jump into a lead in the first half. The Texas Mustangs aren't spurred on until the final quarter when they get a touchdown to tie it up and then a 30-yard field goal for the winning edge...10 to 7. |

The most ambitious U.S. Space Project to date gets off with the highly successful launch of GEMINI VII. With Spacemen Frank Borman and James A. Lovell, Jr., aboard, the vehicle goes smoothly into orbit and the two men settle down for a record-breaking 14 days in space. No sooner are they launched than workmen go to work on Pad Nineteen to prepare it for the launching of GEMINI VI which will attempt a rendezvous with the GEMINI VII.
PLANES COLLIDE:
Two airliners ram into each other just north of New York City and there begins a miracle of pilot skill that saves the lives of 108 people out of the 112 aboard the two planes. One craft, a jet, flies safely into Kennedy Airport, 50 miles away, with 20 feet of wing missing. The other is crash-landed by Captain Charles J. White, in a stupendous feat of maneuvering, on a hillside in Westchester County. Captain White died in the cabin while making sure all of his passengers had been evacuated.
CHRISTMAS RUSH ON
The Annual Christmas shopping spree is bigger and better than ever, according to merchants across the country. Stores are jammed as gift lists are checked.

"Operation Christmas Star" is gathering and dispatching ton upon ton of gifts for the men fighting far from home. Thirty-five planes are air-lifting the gifts from all sections of the country. |

VIETNAM ACTION:
The mighty aircraft carrier "ENTERPRISE" becomes the first nuclear-powered ship ever to enter combat. Off the coast of Vietnam, the "BIG E" launches her Phantom jets against Veitcong hideouts. Four planes can be catapulted from her decks at one time. Meanwhile, on the ground, small search and kill missions have been increased.

This one is ambushed by the rebels and while casualties are listed as "moderate", the men who return look upon this as the most important day in their lives - they came through alive.

"Pop" Fashions Pop:
Angela of London unveils her fashions for Spring - by having the models step it out on the dance floor. Optical art has spread to many of her designs and if you think art has spread to many of her designs and if you think you're seeing things, you're right!

THE GEMINI SAGA
The strange and wonderful story of GEMINI SIX and GEMINI SEVEN - and their rendezvous in Space. While GEMINI SEVEN circles the earth, Major Thomas Stafford and Command Pilot Walter Schirra make two attempts to keep a date in Space. Their first attempt at blast-off is scrubbed when a malfunctioning plug drops out and shuts down the engines. They sit tight in their Space craft and pray for the best. Their courage is rewarded as GEMINI SIX rides out the crisis undamaged. Then, three days later, comes one of the most beautiful take-offs in the Cape's fifteen-year history as GEMINI SIX rises to the heavens and the historic meeting. Complicated maneuvering brings the two capsules together and they chase each other around the globe for four hours. This is the rendezvous so essential to a manned shot to the Moon. Twenty-six hours after take-off, GEMINI SIX is returned to earth and lands within 12 miles of the Carrier Wasp...the closest landing to a recovery ship ever made. A new Page in UNITED STATES Space history????...By the Big Horn Spoon, it was an entire, GLORIOUS CHAPTER! |

THE HISTORIC RENDEZVOUS
GREATEST TRIUMPH OF THE SPACE AGE
A pictorial record of one of the proudest achievements in American history. Aboard the Carrier WASP, Command Pilot Walter Schirra and Lt. Col. Thomas Stafford take a last look at their now-famous GEMINI SIX before leaving for the mainland and medical de-briefings. As the crew of the Carrier say farewell to one pair of Astronauts, they welcome another - as GEMINI SEVEN splashes down after a record-breaking 14 days in Space. Both men of the GEMINI SEVEN are in fine physical shape - worried only about a shower and a shave. The crew took remarkable motion pictures aloft of their rendezvous in Space - the successful meeting that will unlock the doorway to the Moon. Here you see GEMINI SIX come up on SEVEN and turn somersaults around its companion. In the words of Schirra - "There is no doubt that a docking could be accomplished tomorrow." This rendezvous also has military implications. However, in the future, man's sense of Brotherhood and humanity may catch up with his technological advances. Then the Christmas season may be one of Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all Men in Space. |
