The General confronts an awesome array of problems that beset the French nation. The world looks hopefully to the war-time hero to open the door to a new France.
UNKNOWN SOLDIERS ENSHRINED:
Solemn ceremonies in the nation's Capitol mark the entombment of the Unknown Soldiers of World War II and of the Korean heartbreak - in Arlington National Cemetery. President Eisenhower confers the Medal of Honor, America's highest award for valor, on each of the soldiers, highlighting the Memorial Day observance.
