Crisis In Congo Reaches New Peak
The Soviet Union seizes upon the slaying of deposed Congolese Premier Patrice Lumumba as pretext for its most massive political attack on the UN.
Scenes trace the stormy career of Lumumba from his coming to power to his capture by strong-man Mobutu. Following his death, well-organized demonstrations in Moscow, New York, and most of the world’s major cities are accompanied by demands that U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold resign, and that all U.N. troops be pulled out of the Congo.
Debate in the Security Council is interrupted by a violent demonstration in the galleries, during U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson’s defense against what he calls a Soviet Declaration of War against the world organization.
Belgium Air Tragedy 73 Perish
73 perish in a crash of a Belgian Boeing 707 airliner while circling to land at Brussels Airport. En route from New York, the plane was carrying the entire U.S. figure skating team, bound for competitions in Prague. There were no survivors in this horrible tragedy.
Poodle Crowned Queen At The Westminster Dog Show
Best in show at the 85th Westminster Kennel Club event, dogdom's top ranking contest, is a toy poodle, Cappoquin Little Sister. She's the third poodle handled by Anne Rogers to win in the last six years, a record for Miss Rogers, confirming the poodle’s position as America's most fashionable breed.
