Worlds Fair Feels The Chill Of The Cold War
Highlights of Brussels’ opulent World’s Fair, in which international-industrial pavilions vie to impress and awe the countless visitors from all over the world. A Thai temple, tiny and elegant, is dwarfed by the great structures of the USSR and the USA, where the Cold War rivalry is crystallized into a battle of showmanship for hearts and minds.
Fire At New York Museum Of Modern Art
Masterpieces of modern art, a priceless collection is menaced by a spectacular fire in New York. Quick work on the part of firemen averts disaster. One person dies with 30 injured. All but a few canvases are rescued.
Robot Musicians In An Automated Rhapsody
In France, three robots stage an odd and perhaps somewhat ominous concert, bringing automation to the art of melody. The metallic trio performs in nimble style, the accordionist even smokes a cigarette as it plays!
NCAA Gymnastic Championships
At East Lansing, Michigan, highlights of the 16th Annual NCAA Gymnastic Championships, with fine performances on the rope climb, the trampoline and the horizontal bar, as Illinois and Michigan State reach an unprecedented tie.
New York Giants Move West To San Francisco
In New York, where the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field are tenanted only by ghosts and memories – the Giants are hailed by their new hometown - San Francisco. A ticker tape parade down Market Street bid the San Francisco Giants welcome.
Baseball greats Willie Mays and Hank Bauer ride in open car. Managers Walter Walt Alston and Bill Rigney. In the first big league regular season game ever played on the West Coast, the Giants proceed to trounce the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-0!
