Al Smith donning the feathered bonnet of the “Happy Warrior”. A new Gold Rush as Federal buying pushed prices up, revived the old boom towns of Colorado, and Ohio buzzed with excitement at its own gold strike. Inventors are at their most active, and zaniest. Among them, the “Flying Windmill” which never quite got off the ground, the “Flying Flapjack”, which did, and the dazzling Dymaxion Car, terrific even by today’s standards!

In the wake of sweeping Democratic victories throughout the nation, the greatest since the 1930’s, both parties reappraise the presidential timber for 1960. In California, one of the nation’s most powerful Republicans, Senator William Knowland, is returned to private life.

CHURCHILL, DE GAULLE, MEET AFTER 14 YEARS:
In Paris, Sir Winston Churchill and General Charles DeGaulle meet for the first time in 14 years, as DeGaulle confers France’s most exclusive honor, the Order of the Liberation on Sir Winston. A stirring reunion between two great leaders and allies whose differences were many and bitter, but are now mellowed by the passage of the years.
NEAR-CATASTROPHE AT IDLEWILD:

U.S.S.R. MARKS ANNIVERSARY:
In Moscow, the Soviet celebrates it’s 41st Anniversary, the anniversary of the 1918 revolution that put the Bolsheviks in power, with a parade that is surprisingly ‘low-key’ – staged with notable lack of emphasis on military might, and markedly underplaying the usual Red propaganda themes.
ARMY IN HIAR-BREADTH WIN OVER RICE:
Favored Army meets Rice at Houston, and playing in 77 degree heat, the Cadets almost wilt completely, but with the score tied 7-7, they stop a Rice drive on their own 9, and rally with an aerial attack culminating in Joe Caldwell’s 64-yard scoring pass to Pete Dawkins.

Another birdman hero of the day, Colonel Roscoe Turner, blazing coast to coast in 10 hours and 5 minutes! Speed kings whose greatness survives – Sir Malcolm Campbell driving his Bluebird racing car to a new record on the sands at Daytona Beach – Gar Wood piloting his mighty 5,000 hp. Miss America X to his 8th successful defense of speedboating’s coveted Harmsworth Trophy.

NEW RED THREAT TO BERLIN:
Khrushchev’s demand that the Western powers get out of Free Berlin, uniting it with East Berlin under Red rule, revive memories of the 1947 Berlin blockade.

Tudor Era crosses the wire first, but is set down for bumping Sailor’s Guide and the Aussie entry takes the rich purse.
CAMPBELL SETS NEW MARK:
On Lake Coniston, England, Donald Campbell, streaks to still another speed mark in his jot-hydroplane, Bluebird. A spectacular feat by a king of speed.
