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".

JAPAN RIOTS- IKE'S VISIT CANCELLED AFTER MANILA TRIUMPH:
In Tokyo, Communist-led student mobs defy warning of police crackdown after the attack on Presidential Press Secretary Hagerty, and launch a well-organized assault on the Parliament compound. The most violent rioting in a month of demonstrations continues far into the night, with more than 600 policemen and hundreds of students injured, and at least one student killed. Police can't hold back the mob until tear gar in brought into play. The result, a request by the Government that Ike's visit be cancelled in the face of Red threats. A major propaganda success for Communism, and a grave threat to the future political stability of Japan.
The shocking violence in Tokyo followed a triumphal reception for the President in the Philippines. One million turned out in Manila to give Mr. Eisenhower a stirring ovation at the start of his 2 1/2 day visit here, one of the most rousing welcomes he's been accorded on any overseas visit.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
25 years ago, KING GEORGE V reviewed Britain's mightiest parade of air power to date. The massed power of the ROYAL AIR FORCE on parade.
In Buffalo, New York, JIMMY DOOLITTLE was saluted by a parade of thousands of junior birdmen.
FUR FASHIONS for the winter season were paraded at New York's Central Park Zoo, giving many a jungle denizen a glimpse of some long-lost cousin.
The fabulous JONKERS DIAMOND, discovered the year before, arrived in New York by ordinary registered mail, one of the rarest and most valuable gems in all history.
Sports fans focussed attention on the thrilling tennis duel at Wimbledon between arch-rivals HELEN JACOBS & HELEN WILLS MOODY who climaxed a remarkable comeback with her seventh court crown.
A sports novelty was a self-powered aqua-plane, fast, frantic, and fantastic with its speed and agility.

MARCH OF EVENTS in CONGO CRISIS:
As United Nations forces take up positions across the vast reaches of the Congo and the center of crisis shifts to rebellious Katanga province, Belgium gives a heroic welcome to the first contingents of paratroops to return. King Baudouin greets the paras at the airport, and the city hails them as they parade through.
COAST-TO-COAST VIA MOON:
In a preview of space-age global communications, scientists make a long distance telephone call from New Jersey to California by bouncing the voice signals off the moon. It's the forerunner of a similar system that will use a network of artificial satellites.
HERBERT HOOVER HONORED:
Aboard the ship named for him, former President Hoover is honored by San Francisco's business leaders just before his 86th birthday. Among those present are Senator Knowland and Fleet Admiral Nimitz.
Fashion Parade:
Italy's stylists continue their all-out campaign to launch a new look for 1961, parading an array of hats and head-pieces which indicate they'll do anything to be different.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
WILL ROGERS and WILEY POST are shown as they begin their flight to the Arctic which was to end in tragic death.

PRINCE UMBERTO bids farewell to Fascist legions embarking for East Africa and the ETHIOPIAN WAR.
