VIET COPTERS
Army helicopters, the rail northerners in the jungle warfare in Vietnam, are used for a variety of combat and non-military use. The 120th Aviation Company, "The Deans," demonstrates aerial photography...troop transport, and combat support missions by "choppers."
NEW HELICOPTER
A new rigid-rotor helicopter is at Palm Springs, California. Unlike other "choppers," it can roll, loop, fly upside down. Its designers state it could even outmaneuver a fighter plane in a dogfight. Its stability makes it a perfect airborne gun or rocket platform.
NORTHWEST WEATHER
Floods, mudslides, power failures...all accompany torrential rains and gale-force winds in the Pacific Northwest. The Pudget Sound area was hard hit. Downtown Seattle reported wide flooding where two and one-half inches of rain fell in one 24-hour period.
MACAO
Threat of Communist Chinese invasion drives Portugese civilians out of Macao, seeking santuary in Hong Kong. Alleged Nationalist spies and worker disputes are at the root of the trouble but the mass exodus is seen as a possible prelude to a Communist takeover in Macao.
AUTOMAT GOURMETS
The Confrerie de la Chaine des Rotisseurs, one of the oldest gourmet societies in the world, holds a gala dinner at the New York Automat. The reason? To prove that food, not atmosphere, is the important thing. On the menu: oysters, caviar, filet of beef, and quail.
FASHIONS
New summer fashions are previewed in both London and Rome. They include "the bouben," a summer dress of African prints with that nation's language on the hem. Fontana shows a "hideaway" beach tent, underneath which a lady can cargo her suit, and a "monoskate" outfit, with embroidered pants.
ERNIE TERRELL
Challenger Ernie Terrell works out in training for his upcoming heavyweight championship fight with titleholder Cassius Clay. He won an argument over unequal poster billing by threatening to walk out on the bout. Meanwhile, Clay still could be drafted, he's I-A.
OTTER
At Shubenacadie Wildlife Park near Halifax, Nova Scotia, kids enjoy some sixty acres of animals in their natural habitat. Among the stars is "Lottie," a 1-year-old American River Otter. She tussles with dogs, and takes her daily walk, run, swim...and snow slide!
