UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL SYNOPSIS RELEASE 39-1
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS OF 1963
That page of history that is 1965 began with the inauguration of the 36th President of the United States and ended with a great U.S. triumph in space.
President Johnson's inauguration set the tone for his administration's great society.
The Civil Rights Drive gained new impetus with demonstrations across the nation and the signing of the Voting Rights Bill.
Death came to the man who led the free world from the threatening doom of slavery to a glorious victory. Men remembered and paid last tribute to Winston Churchill.
Adlai Stevenson died as he lived -- a simple man who belonged with those who became great figures without holding high office.
Again in 1965 man stood helpless against the forces of nature. The toll of floods and tornadoes proved that he was still unable to cope with many of his earthbound problems.
Pope Paul VI made history himself by becoming the first Pontiff ever to visit the United States. At the invitation of the United Nations he addressed that international body calling it "Man's last hope of peace."
The U. S. increased its commitments to South Vietnam in both men and materials and, despite widespread Anti-war demonstrations in the U. S. vowed to wage war to victory.
There were bright and glorious moments, too. Gemini Four carried James McDivitt and Edward White aloft for White's famous "walk in space." Just six months later Gemini Six and Gemini Seven met 185 miles above the earth for their famous rendezvous and brought to groundlings some of the most amazing movies ever made.
It was a year of sadness, a year of triumph, a year that now belongs to history.
