Carrabasset steam toward the doomed ship and first set it afire. This done, shells directed by eyes attuned to watery wastes soon find vital spots and the Mount Shasta, much to the chagrin of the Army, dives toward the bottom of the ocean.

ADVANCE INFORMATION FOR NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY AND EXPLOITATION
GERMANS HAIL JOHNSON VISIT - U.S. SOLDIERS:
In West Berlin to reassure her citizens that the United States would never desert them in the face of Russian threats, Vice-President Lyndon Johnson is cheered long and loud by hundreds of thousands of Germans. As President Kennedy's envoy, Mr. Johnson declares that freedom can prevail and peace endure. He has a statement for East Berliners as he addressed 300,000 at City Hall: "the days of tyranny are numbered." Later, 1,500 American troops arrive in the beleaguered city after passing through East Germany without incident. They receive a huge welcome from the grateful city.

LAND-SEA BOAT GOES ANYWHERE:
A six-wheeled Stalwart truck is stalwart indeed. No terrain is too tough for it and it goes to sea under its own power. Later it's to cross the channel on a trip to Germany from its British home.
