UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL SYNOPSIS RELEASE 39-1
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS OF 1963
That page of history that is 1965 began with the inauguration of the 36th President of the United States and ended with a great U.S. triumph in space.
President Johnson's inauguration set the tone for his administration's great society.
The Civil Rights Drive gained new impetus with demonstrations across the nation and the signing of the Voting Rights Bill.
Death came to the man who led the free world from the threatening doom of slavery to a glorious victory. Men remembered and paid last tribute to Winston Churchill.
Adlai Stevenson died as he lived -- a simple man who belonged with those who became great figures without holding high office.
Again in 1965 man stood helpless against the forces of nature. The toll of floods and tornadoes proved that he was still unable to cope with many of his earthbound problems.
Pope Paul VI made history himself by becoming the first Pontiff ever to visit the United States. At the invitation of the United Nations he addressed that international body calling it "Man's last hope of peace."
The U. S. increased its commitments to South Vietnam in both men and materials and, despite widespread Anti-war demonstrations in the U. S. vowed to wage war to victory.
There were bright and glorious moments, too. Gemini Four carried James McDivitt and Edward White aloft for White's famous "walk in space." Just six months later Gemini Six and Gemini Seven met 185 miles above the earth for their famous rendezvous and brought to groundlings some of the most amazing movies ever made.
It was a year of sadness, a year of triumph, a year that now belongs to history.

It is a meeting without precedent and is designed to strengthen United States determination to pursue to the end the drive against Communist domination in South Vietnam.

Their Lunar IX sends back pictures that are received in England before the Russians have anything to say. The United States is not expected to put a Surveyor craft on the Moon until this summer. WORST AIR CRASH: The worst single plane disaster in history takes the lives of 133 aboard a Japanese airliner as it plunges into Tokyo Bay just seconds away from a landing. The giant American jet was carrying the holiday visitors back from a tour of Japan's famous winter carnival at Hokkaido in the North. "THE RARE BREED" Fort Worth is the scene for the first of four pre-release showings of "THE RARE BREED", an historical Western, that has white-face Herefords as unbilled stars. Maureen O'Hara and James Stewart are on hand for the premiere that narrates this milestone in early Texas history. SPORTS HOCKEY STARS ON THE RISE: They start 'em young in Canada when it comes to teaching them the national sport....mayhem on ice. Seven hundred kids are taking part in this year's tiny tyke hockey and they take all the falls and bumps in their stride.

BOOM...BOOM! TIMES ARE GOOD:
In a speech to 5,000 members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington President Lyndon Johnson predicts a 30 billion dollar profit for American business this year. His speech, (spiced with quips) touched on Foreign Aid, the Railraod thing and the Chamber itself, was interrupted by applause and laughter 60 times.
SPORTS
BASKETBALL BOSTON CELTICS WIN 6TH STRAIGHT TITLE
Taking on the San Francisco Warriors for the National Basketball Association Title, the Celtics roll on to a 105 to 99 victory. They win also the distinction of becoming the first team in a major sport to take a title six times in a row. Yes. The Yankees have won five World Series straight....but half-dozen times..yet to come! So, a salute to the Boston Celtics. A fine first.
ICE HOCKEY PLAY-OFFS
It's getting to be a habit with the Toronto Maple Leafs to skate off with the Stanley Cup. They down the Detroit Red Wings - 4 to 0 in the 7th game of the Play-off series, making them the World's Champions for the third consecutive year. They're the hottest thing on ice...surrounded by the sweet swill of success.
STAR OF STARS AL OERTER ECLIPSES OWN RECORD:
At the Mt. San Antonio Relays at Walnut, California, Al Oerter breaks his own record in the Discus throw. Discus throwers spin their missiles against the wind. For such throwers like Al Oerter, that's good. So against a lovely wind in Walnut, Oerter wafted the discus 206Feet - 6 inches against the fellows he will have to beat in Tokyo next October.

REPORTERS' FAMILIES MEET THE PRESIDENT
On the South Lawn of the White House, in a picnic setting, pink lemonade, candy-striped tents, animal crackers and the presence of two famous one-year old Beagles, President Lyndon Johnson held a Family Day Press Conference for wives and children of reporters.
The President again "ear marks" Him and Her just to prove that it causes them no pain. Another howling success....and some of the brouhaha should boil down as LBJ announces that he has accepted lifetime membership in Vandenberg Humane Society. (That's in Evansville, Indiana).......
HYDROFOIL SPEEDS PASSAGE TO FRANCE
A new super-speed passenger service goes into operation between the Channel Island and French ports. A Hydrofoil craft that could revolutionize sea transport across the Channel. They carry 140 passengers at 45 m.p.h.
