World Series Baseball: Dodgers vs. Yankees
The Los Angeles Dodgers give the New York Yankees a whipping in the first two games of the World Series. In the first game, left hander, Sandy Koufax sets a Series mark as he strikes out 15 Yankees. With the New Yorkers vaunted power throttled, the Dodgers go on to crush the World Champions 5 to 2. The second day is almost a replay of the first. Again, it’s fine Dodger pitching and they, not the Yankees, are again the power at the plate. Before it’s over the Dodgers are on top, 4 to 1, and the Dodgers lead the Yankees two games to none as they head for the West Coast.
Busy Days For President John F. Kennedy
It’s a busy few days in Washington for President Kennedy. First he greets Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, here on a state visit. The Emperor has ruled since 1916, before the President was born. Then he signs the Armed Services pay-raise bill that will add a fourteen percent increase to the pay of men in uniform. The same day he hears of a report on the situation in South Vietnam from Secretary of Defense McNamara and General Maxwell Taylor.
Yesterday's Big Story 1935 - French Luxury Liner Normandie
The great new French luxury liner SS Normandie arrives in New York on her maiden voyage on June 3, 1935 setting a new trans-Atlantic record. It’s the gala debut of an ill-starred vessel. Four years later war broke out and she was tied up in New York. Later, the Navy began to convert her to a transport and she caught fire. Despite heroic efforts of New York City firemen, she capsized at the pier. Salvage efforts were begun to put the vessel back into service as troop transport. However, the need did not warrant the expense and the great Sea Queen was towed to the scrap heap, a tragic saga at an end.
