ADVANCE INFORMATION FOR NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY AND EXPLOITATION
SPANISH DEMONSTRATION
MADRID--More than half a million Spaniards assemble in public squares to demonstrate in behalf of their government and to support the Franco regime, which has been ostracized by United Nations action.
CLOTHING FOR ABORIGINALS

TRANSPORT A LA KING
ENGLAND--Special trains for a royal tour of South Africa, and a new limousine for the royal family, provide transportation a la king. The new coaches and new auto are the last word in British craftsmanship.
REBELLION OF RAGPICKERS
PARIS--"Trumps," the city's nocturnal ragpickers who go through the streets at night collecting old rags and paper for scrap salvage, win victory over local ordnance banning their trade. So, it's back to work!
TUNA FISHING IN SPAIN
ALICANTE--The catch is a record one--and the sea yields a net crop! By the netful, Spanish fishermen haul in the big ones, and it's plenty of work as you'll see in these colorful films.
UTAH BASKETEERS WIN
NEW YORK--In a spectacular basketball razzle-dazzle at the Garden, the Blitz Kids of Utah keep in season form by administering a 62-48 defeat to the St. John's Five. Somebody wins--and somebody loses.
