THE FINEST IN THE INDUSTRY
ENTER de GAULLE! WITH FULL AUTHORITY
France in the 169 years since the storming of the Bastille, has been twice an empire. Thrice under Kingdom rule. Once a Nazi-supported dictatorship. Four times a Republic. A new and fateful turning has finally come to France. Her Fourth Republic, a sorry chronicle of confusion and dissension is starting on a new course under the leadership of aloof, inscrutable, mystical General Charles de Gaulle. The General confronts an awesome array of problems that beset the French nation. The world looks hopefully to the war-time hero to open the door to a new France.
UNKNOWN SOLDIERS ENSHRINED:
Solemn ceremonies in the nation's Capitol mark the entombment of the Unknown Soldiers of World War II and of the Korean heartbreak - in Arlington National Cemetery. President Eisenhower confers the Medal of Honor, America's highest award for valor, on each of the soldiers, highlighting the Memorial Day observance.
