CASTRO "RESIGNS" IN SHOW OF STRENGTH
A flamboyant show of strength by Fidel Castro, whose "resignation" as Premier has Havana throngs demonstrating in fervent appeal to the Revolution's leader. One result, the removal of Castro's hand picked President, Urrutia, now out of favor with the leader. In an emotional four hour broadcast, Castro shows he is still Cuba's "maximum leader".
KHRUSHCHEV IN POLAND:
Nikita Khrushchev continues his tour of Poland, drawing on an amazing reservoir of antics for Iron Curtain consumption while keeping up his power diplomacy towards the Free World, with an abrupt snub to Scandinavia.
PREVIEW OF MANNED SPACE FLIGHT:
Artist's conception films preview the first flight of a manned craft into space beyond the earth's atmosphere. In thrilling detail is seen the rocket plane X-15, from the moment it leaves its mother plane until it arcs through space and hurtles - to a landing.
PAMPLONA FESTIVAL:
The famous "running of the bulls" through the streets of Pamplona in the traditional prelude to the City's classic bull-fight fiesta. It's every man a matador for a day as the brave bulls thunder through the streets and into the arena.
U.S.- SOVIET TRACK MEET:
In Philadelphia, a re-match between American and Soviet track and field stars. As last year, in Moscow, our men and girls dominate the events, with sensational performances by Greg Bell in the broad jump, Parry O'Brian in the shot putt, and Dyrol Burleson and Jim Grelle in the metric mile.
