JOHNSON SIGNS TAX CUT BILL
President Lyndon Johnson signs the tax cut bill into law just 13 months after it was proposed to Congress by President Kennedy. Less than six hours after final Congressional passage, he affixes his signature to the act that will mean $11 1/2 billion in the pockets of taxpayers.
BEATLEMANIA! UPROAR GREETS THEIR RETURN HOME
Twelve thousand screaming teen-agers jam London Airport to welcome the Beatles back from their U.S. triumphs. Our staff scientist- in an odd moment- calculated that this young mob generated enough energy to put three Atlas missiles into orbit and to power fifty-four thousand transistor radios. The Beatles did what the Redcoats couldn't do in the American Revolution- they conquered the Colonies.
YESTERDAY'S BIG STORY - WAR CRIMES TRIALS
With victory in World War II, the Allies turned to fixing the guilt of those responsible.
Marshall Henri Petain was condemned to death and then exiled instead for collaborating with the Germans after the fall of France.
Vidkun Quisling was hung in Norway for betraying his fellow countrymen.
In Japan, Pearl Harbor Premier Hideki Tojo and 24 other defendants were found guilty of war crimes and atrocities. Tojo was hanged.
In Germany Heinrich Himmler, head of Hitler's secret police, committed suicide rather than face trial.
The most famous hearings were in Nuremberg where 21 high Nazis faced their accusers. Twenty-one were found guilty and ten were executed- but the misery and horror they spawned lived after them.

PRESIDENT SEEKS END TO CIVIL STRIFE:
In a move almost without precedent, President Johnson addresses a joint session of Congress to push a voting rights bill aimed at ending discrimination.
The President referred to the events in Selma, Alabama, as "An American tragedy" and throughout the nation there were marches through the streets of towns and cities.
In New York's Harlem more than 15,000 - half of them white - filed somberly through the streets in quiet, but agonized protest.
It was in memory of the Reverend James J. Reeb who was clubbed to death in Selma.
Meanwhile, in that small, southern town, violence had become a way of life. Dr. Martin Luther King leads several thousand marchers in a demonstration for the registration of Negroes.
DUTCH PRINCESS TO WED COMMONER:
Cupid is wearing the crown at Soestdijk Palace as the Dutch Royal family announces the engagement of Princess Margriet, one of four sisters. She's to wed a commoner, Pieter Van Vollenhove. The romance has the blessing of the Queen (Juliana) and the Dutch people.
CONSTANCE BENNETT BACK IN MOVIES:
On one of the sets built for the movie "MADAME X", there's a party of Hollywood notables on hand to welcome home Constance Bennett. After a 12-year retirement, the former movie queen is making a comeback in the screen classic. Hundreds of Hollywood luminaries turn out to bid her welcome and extend their best wishes for the success in her role in "MADAME X".
