HUNGNAM EVACUATION COMPLETED
KOREA--The great strategic withdrawal from North Korea is dramatically pointed up by the successful evacuation of Hungnam by the 10th Army Corps, in the face of strong Chinese Red attacks. More than 100,000 United Nations troops are withdrawn, along with thousands of vehicles and tons of equipment. But the joy over this success is tempered by the death of the 8th Army's dynamic General Walker, killed in a Jeep accident.
HOLY YEAR ENDS

SPORTS
HOLLYWOOD ICE REVUE
CHICAGO--With Sonja Henie again in a starting role, the 1951 Ice Revue bows in at the Chicago Stadium. Miss Henie's breath-taking solo numbers, and comedy routine by the laughable Freddie Trenkler delight first-nighters.
PRO FOOTBALL PLAY-OFFS
CLEVELAND--Cold weather, hard ground and rough going for gridders as the Los Angeles Rams and the Cleveland Browns fight it out for National League pro honors. Trailing 28-20 in the final period, the Browns stage a dramatic finish to win by two points. Lou Groza's last-minute field goal turns the tide.

UNIVERSAL-INTERNATIONAL Presents CORONATION OF ELIZABETH II
The greatest pageant of the twentieth century unfolds before London and the world, as Elizabeth, Britain's winsome young queen is crowned amid and splendor evolved over a thousand years.
WHOLE WORLD REPRESENTED
Not only from the far flung British Dominions, but every major power, ranking representatives are present to witness the event, while hundreds of thousands of visitors throng the capital to witness the glittering spectacle. Every foot of the coronation procession route is occupied by eager spectators.
HISTORIC CEREMONY
In the hush of Westminster Abbey's vastness peers and peeresses in scarlet ceremonial robes witness the supreme moment, when, after being annointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Queen has placed on her head the crown of St. Edward. She is then enthroned. All the pageantry originated since the day of William the Conqueror and the subsequent days of feudal chivalry enter into the ceremony.
A RADIANT QUEEN
The ritual over, Queen Elizabeth rides over a procession route that takes her through the ancient landmarks of London amid millions cheering themselves hoarse. Back at Buckingham palace she appears on the balcony with her family--the symbol of new hope for austerity-ridden Britain.
