They take over Seoul, and the army, well, tries, as the mud is extremely thick! Next, The United Nations Socio-and Economical advisory committee meet in Chile for a 6 week seminar. The UNs top man is there too. I dont think any world leaders are there.. and also the meeting is strangely protester free.. From there off to Spain! The Spain and the U.S. have resumed diplomatic relations. Much pageantry is involved here, including a parade! Then, we go to New York, as the Secretary of Defense swears in the first 700 Civil Defense volunteers. They are all in New York. They dont exactly tell what they do. Next, Truman surprises his Vice President by presenting him with a gift for being the longest serving politician in the Congress. His gift? A hammer carved out of the wood used in the original White House. Next, aviation news. Britain introduces a new bomber named the Canberra named after Australia’s capital city. The Australian Prime Minister Christians the plane with Australian champagne and then flies off to America. Next SEAT EJECTOR TESTS!! No more needs to be said.. Next.. JET POWERED HELICOPTERS!! Weee! Oh dear, the JET ENGINES ARE ATTACHED TO THE PROPELLERS! Ha! This should be good! Oh SHOOT! The jet engines are on FIRE!!! Oh GOD!!!!! Thats GREAT!!! The inventor plans a two seater, but right now, the production must be exclusive to the armed forces. That was a GREAT segment! On to Art. A countess makes art with leaves and grass! Well, thats not anything new. And despite having a show which draws a bit of a crowd, we still dont know who you are and you. Next Sports. Dick Button, the worlds greatest figure skater, wins another championship. Next, The Yanks and the Phillies prepare for the 1950s season.. The Phillies are ready! Their pitcher, Emery Church had 8 victories last year.. can he surpass it? Then after a few more players are introduced that are long forgotten today, we get a brief recap of the 1949 world series between Philadelphia and New York Yankees. Pretty exciting! Then they go into the Yankees camp, and forget about it, Phil Rezutto! Joe Dimaggio! Yogi Berra! Casey Stengel! All of them are shown here, making this one incredible nugget of baseball history. Next, James Moore, a commander in the Civil war, is buried in Alabama. American History Time..this time, it focuses on Lexington and Concord, the birthplaces of the American Revolution, iit shows a lot of homes of the people famous in the battle, while giving a rundown of what happened. Release Date: 1950 Entered the Public Domain: 1979 　 Film 2: “The News Magazine of the Screen” October (1950) B&W RUNTIME 19 Minutes The first segment focuses on the opening of the United Nations for its 3rd session. Dignitaries of many lands converge. In a related note, the U.N. skyscraper is just about done! Meanwhile, in Korean news, the U.N. makes a second front! They attack by sea, and actually, this is a great battle. After gaining offensive, Macarthur comes around and inspects! From there, we go to Formosa, and how the US was worried China would get their hands on it. To avoid this, the US has helped Formosa train an army, women included! Next we go to Mt. Sinai, where scientists work to preserve scrolls and scriptures from Monks who have lived there for centuries. Next, the process of milking cows goes one step further as cows go on moving conveyer belts to be milked! Next.. Soap sculpture contests.. First prize, a sculpture of wrestlers! Next.. Swiss gliders…Sort of neat segment, as gliders are neat in general.. Next comes a truly AWESOME segment, as a plane has a detachable cargo holder on the BOTTOM of the plane! You have to see this, its just weird. Wonder how long this lasted? Next, the B-36 plane is showcased.. Oh my goodness. 10 engines! No idea how they got this thing off the ground.. the wing span is 32 feet! Next, off to sports as we get a great profile on a woman named Fanny Blankers-Koen who proves that she was one heck of an athlete after mowing down the competition in the Paris Olympics, just watch her run! This is QUITE impressive. Next Art Larsen becomes the next amateur tennis champ? Finally, we get a notable Americans segment.. and who do we get? Theodore Roosevelt! We get a speech done by Roosevelt actually hold on, the speech is done by Roosevelt, but performing the speech is Sidney Blackmer who actually looks like Teddy but acts as if curtains were going out of style. Really, you havent seen anything like his performance. Growling and spitting, arms flailing in all directions, this is very funny! Release Date: 1950 Entered the Public Domain: 1979 　 Film 3: “The News Magazine of the Screen” November (1950) B&W RUNTIME 18 Minutes U.N. celebrates it’s 5th anniversary both in New York and abroad. Liked the attention this got. Liked the big flap when Truman shook the russian general’s hand.. The abroad thing was great too, It was a little dubious though the amount of Germans who turned out for the unveiling of the Victory Bell though.. Hmmm.. We then follow Truman as he flies to an island for a visit with Maccarthur about the Korean War. Before that, he pops by Hawaii to make a surprisingly robust speech… very interesting. ‘Good News From Europe!” focuses on Europe rebuilding after the War, funny how after every segment of this, the narrator reminds us that most of the rebuilding was in large part, funded by Dem Americans! A Scientist shows us how Mice and Cats can live together and work together to achieve a Common Goal???? A race with ‘Old Time Autos’ is featured. Now, since this was made in 1950, we’re dealing with REALLY old time cars. The speed of these cars it looks like, doesnt go beyond 30 miles an hour. We see a Vienna riding troupe, doing some clever tricks.. We see a waterskiing troupe, skiing around the New York Harbor, narrowly missing tanker ships! Finally, the film ends with a History Lesson, the story about the Louisiana Purchase! Release Date: 1950 Entered the Public Domain: 1979 　 Film 4: “The News Magazine of the Screen” December 1950] (Part I) (1950) B&W RUNTIME 14 Minutes The first segment is a pure bit of cinematic history.. Truman’s attempted assassination! Never knew such a thing happened, but yes, ‘fanatics’ from an ‘extremist Puerto Rican party’ tried to do him in at his official residence (the Blair House (as the White House was being repaired) Crime scene photos! One of the assassins is dead! A Guard is ‘dying’.. We get to go to the hospital to visit one of the assassins who is wounded! Truman was upstairs having a nap, but everyone afterwards ‘congratulates him on his escape’…. Speaking of Puerto Rico, who were under US command at the time, was experiencing somewhat of a coup.. It’s the same party that tried to assassinate Truman! They get around… Anyways, their attempt fails at home too. We visit the ringleader in Jail 1. After that, we get a gloss over at how wonderful their political and economic system is. The head of the U.N. is reelected for another 3years. He gives a speech. Next.. Sweden’s King Gustav V is dead and buried.. People come out to mourn. Al Jolson died! Not that I didn’t know, but this is amazing. We see his funeral! He just came back from Korea entertaining the troops there.. We see a tribute of his work. After that segment, more news segments.. Britain’s House of Commons re-opens, they were destroyed by the Nazis and countries donated different items to restore it to it’s glory! Canada donated a table, The king comes here’s Elizabeth as well! Next female trapshooters? YES! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! go the clay pigeons! And THEN?? SEVEN YEAR OLD HORSE JUMPERS!!! Man, this volume is great! Oh god, that horse is clearly too big for her. After that.. ATOM BOMB TESTS!! This one happens at Eniwetok atoll! They blast 8 (!!) off, to test it against certain materials (sailors included).. This has one of the more moving Merry Christmas messages I’ve seen. Everyone should see this for Christmas, as it’s so touching. This was a great film…A MUST SEE! 　 Release Date: 1950 Entered the Public Domain: 1979 　 Film 5: “Pathe News Christmas with Their Cameramen and Crews ‘Round the World” (1950) B&W RUNTIME 4 Minutes Newsreel cameramen from around the world wish the audience Merry Christmas. Very nice holiday greetings from a variety of Pathe cameramen from around the world. This is bookmarked by a very large (at least a 100) children’s choir screaming their rendition of “Hark, The Herald Angels Sing”. I really liked this, it was sort of unexpected. Release Date: 1950 Entered the Public Domain: 1979 　 Film 6: “The News Magazine of the Screen” (1951) B&W RUNTIME 19 Minutes The French President visits. This is the FIRST french president to ever visit the United States! Which is interesting. The New Yorkers thow an amazing parade for him, which seemed to cover 3 city blocks. Pretty amazing stuff. Macarthur quits: After serving in Japan for a long time, Truman calls him back. Macarthur leaves Japan and he returns to Washington, where he gives a tearful retirement speech. He then goes of course, to New York, where he gets a parade which pales in comparison to the French President’s parade. Macarthur’s parade is blanketed with paper, which is truly amazing. Almost a whiteout of ticker and scraps of paper. Awe-inspiring. Think of the clean-up! Canadian Nuclear Power Plant: A pretty standard overview of a Nuclear plant in Canada is shown, I liked the sign they had though.. “Do Not Smoke While Wearing Rubber Gloves”. The Circus Comes To Town: New York gets the Ringling Bros Circus, and, after an intro by Jimmy Durante, it entertains the crowd with some pretty amazing acrobatics. Ben Hogan: The golfer Ben Hogan is profiled. who, after battling cancer, continues his dominance of the golf world. What’s particularly interesting here is the guy who tries to either go after Hogan or Hogan’s golf ball after he finishes a tournament. He nearly makes it, but is pushed aside and apparently, that’s it. Just amazing footage. Zoo Aviary: A nice profile of a zoo aviary is then shown, with plenty of exotic birds. Some of which I had never seen before. We finish off by a bizarre focus on a small town, Lebanon Pennsylvania, as it was chosen as a model town for a comparison to a town in Russia, and vice versa. Release Date: 1951 Entered the Public Domain: 1980 　 Film 7: “The News Magazine of the Screen” January (1951) B&W RUNTIME 19 Minutes In the first segment, we see the United Nations troops being pushed back by China and North Korea! They have to troop back through a intense storm, and somewhat find their way to waiting ships. President Truman feels this is a ‘State of Emergency’ then somewhat fumblingly gives a speech about it. About how this onslaught may mean another war.. That didn’t happen. Nexttime for the Prime Minister of Britain. He’s here to talk about Korea as well. He’s here for a week! He gives a chipper speech to the press club while he’s here too. Next, still on the war front, the chairman of defense production is announced.. It’s the President of General Electric?? Next! Europe braces itself for the inevitable Russian onslaught that didn’t happen. The Atlantic Pac nations hire Ike to help defend them. Next 31 million Protestants unite for a special council! Wow… that’s a LOT of protestants.. Oh I see.. a bunch of churches banded together to form one council! Next! Mount Etna erupts again in Sicily! People flee, people climb the mountain to watch and some people have a religious pilgrimage up the volcano to ask God to stop it!! Wow. Next! Hawaiian elections… Where the candidates ‘serenade the electors’. They’re voting on whether to become a state or not. Governor Steinbach oversees the election, where it’s won by a 3-1 margin. Next, I kid you not… “Ice Skate fashions”!!!!! Wow, where on earth did that come from? And why do we need it? Whoa, do we need to buy these fashions to go.. ice skating? Release Date: 1951 Entered the Public Domain: 1980 　 Film 8: “The News Magazine of the Screen” (1952) B&W RUNTIME 21 Minutes Korean War Overview: Not much is said here, we watch military maneuvers, Maccarthur arriving, more maneuvers. I did like the drop of supplies from the jet. French Premier arrives in New York: Pretty interesting, as we see him tour around before eventually meeting with Truman, where the “negotiations” were “successful”. Red Cross Blood Program: Pretty standard plea for more blood, as it’s needed at the war front (great shot of a nurse tiptoeing through a field). Underwater Army Vehicles: The army introduces their new vehicles.. they run under water! Mind you, you need an aqualung for this, but still, this is a very strange vehicle indeed. One wonders WHY they would need it. Were they going to drive from New York to Korea? A review of model trains is offered next. A NY church that can switch denominations by means of a switch is shown next, which is very interesting. Not too sure if the church is still around. A Track and Field championships event is overviewed next, where we focus on a sprint runner a shot putter and a pole vaulter (who was very happy to win) To wrap it up, an overview of Australia is presented, and why the Aussies are so important to us. Release Date: 1952 Entered the Public Domain: 1981 　 Disc 2: 　　 Film 9: The News Magazine of the Screen (May 1952) B&W Runtime 24 Minutes First Truman examines the flood damage done to the Midwest. We see flooded towns. Man, The things that happened before dams came to be… Then we see a demonstration of a sub submerging in a 45 degree angle. No explanation why, it’s sort of strange. Next is a VERY strange and unheard of phenomenon, the Masquere of france, a yearly tidal wave that comes, although not huge, it’s sure fascinating to watch, I have no idea if it happens now.. Some footage of the the Indo Chinese war is shown. The whole this has a very Apocalypse Now feel to it. Especially the Napalm bombs.. A Japanese island is then shown, which is being guarded by those communists across the river. Great footage of the army at work in winter, seemingly unsure of how to walk in snowshoes, and skiing. We then see US warships blowing up the Korean coastline. After that, we visit a bread museum in Italy. Many different shapes and sizes of Bread are shown. Isn’t that exciting? We then get a little more interesting as we catch up with the airman family that won the first plot of land when the government held a lottery 6 years ago for public land. He is now a successful farmer, kids and now breeding cows. Quite an uplifting segment. We then go to the first all glass and steel skyscraper and it’s then new method of cleaning it.. scaffolding1 Absolutely nothing looks like it has changed. (which is pretty remarkable) After that, we see the U.S.S. Courier, which was a gun-less radio station on a ship basically. Sometimes transmitting live broadcasts from the ship, but mostly transmitting other broadcasts to “Communism-slaved” countries. Operation Longhorn is then profiled, which was then the largest US war games ever attempted. Tank footage and airmen come out from the sky. Some of the equipment arent so lucky lol After this, we see a heartbreaking story of a town’s population forced to evacuate for good their town after the French government build a dam and flood their town because of this. This is a sad sad segment. I saw a movie similar to this.. I can’t remember what it was called though.. 3 different types of theater are shown next. In Holland a natural stage made out of stone is showcased, following that, a Japanese stage is shown, with it’s revolving stage (made apparently before Disneylad had the idea) and a kid’s puppet show in Spain (love the natural soundtrack), a firecracker goes off at the end of the puppet show, check out the kid at the bottom right. Interesting stuff. We finsih this one off starting off with a history of the White House, how it has changed through the year, and finally a tour of some of the rooms in the newly renovated mansion. Quite interesting. Release Date: 1952 Entered the Public Domain: 1981 　 Film 10: The News Magazine of the Screen (October 1953) B&W Runtime 24 Minutes Korean Warn continues, as we see some war footage as well as surrendered koreans to be taken away, “haven given up communism for good” Ike and his wife meet his son John returning home from the war. I love footage of old presidents, and I’m not American. I’m tired of seeing the usual footage of the same presidnets on CNN… Another election is held in Germany, where the chancellor is campaigning, but the opponents, APPARENTLY the communists, arent allowed to distribute any of their literature. Huh? What kind of election is THAT when you’re surpressing your competition. Sure they’re communists, but still that’s quite opressive. Surprisingly, the good germans win. After that GREEAT footage is shown about the attempted assasination of a sultan in Morocco. We even see the agressor stab a guard before knocked to the ground. Just amazing! Another sea rescue is shown, great footage of the sinking liner. An art exhibit of stamp art is shown, pretty interesting about how they go about it, and the amazing detail that is put into it, Grand Coulee Dam is then profiled. I could be wrong, but I think the exact same footage is in another stand alone file on this site. After that a GREAT and entertaining demonstration about the fun one can have with fire and chemicals is shown. really, this is a great segment where the scientists create explosions, weird brown stuff and ‘art’. Quite amazing. After this, more explosions, only this time it’s from Atomic Annie, the first Atomic cannon. You’ve seen NOTHING like this. I assure you. After that, we go to the Andes, where tribes relocate their houses to a more stable place, and where they can get amenities supposedly like education and medicine. They strap there houses on a boat and afloat they go.. After that, is a somewhat flat and “who needed that?” tribute to Teddy Roosevelt, we get a tour of Secamor House, and we hear the only recording of his voice. Release Date: 1953 Entered the Public Domain: 1982 　 Film 11: The News Magazine of the Screen (December 1953) B&W 23 Minutes This volume contains… Indo-China war footage. Pretty interesting. A soldier comes back with a little korean boy he’s adopted. He’s even got an american soldiers uniform on. One of the Dionne quintuplets, the most famous quints ever, gets more press coverage as she joins a convenent. She kisses them all goodbye, and her mother, who sold her down the river in the first place. After that, we have footage of a plane attempting to land on a snow covered mountain (which apparently is the first time this has been done) Somore more planes, as we see more faster models for jet planes. We then see a pretty amazing replication of a famous clock made by what looks like Mecchano sets by a high school class. Pretty neat! A marionnette troupe is featured next. I kept thinking ‘Being John Malkovich’ and “The Sound Of Music” obviously. After that, a pretty curious historic relic. The US Blimp fleet is showcased, patrolling New York with their hyrogen filled machines of war! Ooh! Scary! Another trip to Australia, where we see a cross country race by automobile. Pretty entertaining to see the different climates these vehicles had to go through. Not bad. Finally, we finish it with a trip to Rochester’s Eastman house and their museum of photography. Great old cameras and photos are seen. Release Date: 1953 Entered the Public Domain: 1982 　 Film 12: The News Magazine of the Screen (May 1954) B&W Runtime 23 Minutes We are first reminded of communism in the start of this compilation by seeing the first train from Russia to China (Oh boy!) some demonstrations, an exodus of East Germans to West Germany, and a mother tearily welcoming her sons back after being held captive seven years in Hungary. Nice group of spots. In Youth News, a model UN is shown by university students and a ski jump competition is won by a college lad. Nothing earth shattering here. 2 fires are then showcased, one on sea, where a british cruiseship is ablaze, and everyone escapes and in Korea, where a warehouse carrying army equipment is on fire, but LUCKILY all the equipment is moved out! A fascinating group of Korean clips is shown next, as people settle into South Korea and nations send them stuff that they need like Bees and Goats (not making this up). Love the boats being forced into the place and not wearing seatbelts! Next families are shown where they can build in the newly free South Korea, and finally a VERY cute choir of Korean kids come to the states to sing, they perform at the airport an oh-so-cute rendition of “How Do you Do?” The H bomb is shocased (this is also on another News Magazine, all dealing with the bomb) Strange secret equipment is set up for testing, and it goes off! The ‘Ugly’ cloud is shown, The H-bomb era is upon us! an era of “Danger, of challenge, of oppurtunity!” The Statue Of Liberty is then showcased. This clip (which also can be found on another film, Manhattan Landmarks) documents the history and the wonders of the the Statue Of Liberty, from it’s construction in Paris to it’s unveilling by Grover Cleveland. Nice footage of people peeking out of Liberty’s crown and some great aerial views of looking down from the torch. Finally, in a program devoted to longer segments rather then a number of shorter segments, A history of aviation is shown. From the “First” flight taken by the Wright brothers, the conquest of many different feats (over the pole, over the ocean, solo etc) to the birth of the war plane. This was actually a nice history of how far we’ve come with the airplane. Release Date: 1954 Entered the Public Domain: 1983 　 Film 13: The News Magazine of the Screen (September 1956) B&W Runtime 23 Minutes In this volume we see.. The suez canal’s fate is decided, as countries meet to decide who owns it. The US, of course, wants jurisdiction over it. Egypt, where the canal is actually located, boycotts the meeting. This decision is celebrated by the people and the president. A forest fire in Algiers is shown, this was set by the rebels to keep the police and other officials busy. Sneaky rebels… Another egyptian long lost city is found… The 80 year old president of Korea is shown celebrating his third term of power. Nice military display. The construction of the trans-canada highway is shown next, blasting it’s way through the rocky mountains. After that a focus on The New Zealand army, who masterlessly scale a mountain. A Chinese printer is shown next, he can print letters in a multitude of languages, large or (very small). After that, a trip to the Swiss Alps, and the caves, looking at the ice formations there. Neat! From there we observe the photographing of Sun Storms using ‘Rockoons’, why they’re called that, I’ll never know. After THAT we observe 3 jets refueling at the same time in midair. Rather neat footage. Very Dr. Strangelove.. The lilliputian theater in San Fransisco is then shown just THRILLING the kids. I think the kids need to get out more. A tribute to Salt Lake City is shown with it’s birth, it’s history and the choir, it brings this film to a close. Release Date: 1956 Entered the Public Domain: 1985 　 Film 14: The News Magazine of the Screen (October 1956) B&W Runtime 21 Minutes We start off this collection by catching up with the candidates for president. We see Ike and Wife stroll Gettysburg and meeting son and daughter who both have a horse, and then visiting a campaign stop and getting his pic taken with some girls all dressed in “Ike” outfits. Meanwhile, Adelai Stevenson and his VP hopeful with the impossible to pronounce name meet Native indians. The VP wanna be smokes a peace pipe. lol. Next we see two pieces of storm footage. One of a storm in Australia, and a typhoon in Japan. Nothing you havent seen before. Footage of a reflying of a Danish plane to celebrate 50 years of flight is shown, pretty neat plane. There are cracks in the Colleseum in Italy. Something must be done about it! (They don’t say what) Geologists then measure the earth’s crust by blowing up the Alps. lol, interesting footage here. The opening of the Dallas Dam, and how it spells the end of an idian fishing spot is explored.. well not really. They SAY the Indians’ place has dissapeared, but this film offers no solutions to the indians problems. Oh well! Let’s move on! lol Fascinating footage of the Vulcan gun is then shown. Man, that thing could shoot out anything. Wonder if that technology is still used? A family of 62 (!) is then shown living, of all places, in Cornwall, Ontario. A couple has adopted all of these No reason (except love, nowhere else for them to go etc) is offered to why these kids are here, or even why the government would not step in if, according to this, there’s not that much money going in. An Exploration, apropo of nothing, about America’s first Oil Well is shown next. Sort of yawnish, as I’d really rather see something else more newsworthy instead of this dramatic production. A great exploration of The Royal Gorge is shown next, with some magnificent scenery and some fascinating train footage snaking through the gorge. An enjoyable segment. Finally, a trip through Hamlet’s castle is offered where the tale of Hamlet ‘delights children of all ages’. Release Date: 1956 Entered the Public Domain: 1985 　　 Film 15: The News Magazine of the Screen (November 1956) B&W Runtime 21 Minutes First story we come across in this volume is more typhoons hitting Japan. They’ve been reduced to calling them by number now, as we see footage from Typhoon 9 and 10. More storm carnage as a Hurricane hits Louisiana. Nice shots of it hitting the coast. After that, Britain is rebuilding the Mayflower for a voyage across the atlantic for the new year. Nice shots of the christening. A troop of parachuting army medics are shown next trying to aim for a small spot of land in a forest. Some make it, and some just hang.. lol Coverage of Polish men on trial are shown, focusing on their faces the narrator tells us that these are not the faces of communist sympathisers! Oh, ok. Saint Innocent is beatified by Pope Pius! Yay! Military vehicles are again profiled, a great looking tank and again, a submersive vehicle that can travel underwater (which was in another news footage film, though I forget which). Again, I’ll stress, WHY would they need something like this? Are they driving to Korea? Fort Ticonderoga is profiled next. Once again, I really don’t like these ‘Historical’ reenactments, as I like seeing footage of happening events. So this was a time waster. We see footage of mountain climbers. Nothing major to report. Immediately after that is great footage of aerial trams going up up up the alps. Nice scenery, and nice tram footage. An “Exclusive” to News Magazine shows us the first dive to the Andrea Dora which had just sunk. A professional diver goes down with a film director who has directed films about diving by the name of… Louis Malle! Yes THAT Louis Malle! So the diver and “The Director of The Silent Kingdom” go down and start exploring, but the diver’s suit fills up with water, so they need to go up, but slowly, so not to cause serious illness. They finally do come up, but the diver winds up with a ruptured eardrum.. Ouch! Release Date: 1956 Entered the Public Domain: 1985 　 Film 16: The News Magazine of the Screen (December 1956) B&W 21 Minutes This excellent compilation includes: Ike is reelected. Was shown some nice election footage here. From the election office right around the corner, to election booths in Chinatown in San Fransisco, heck, even in nursing homes! Everyone is happy to vote for Ike! Next, we see the tensions between Egypt and Israel heat up, Israel invades Egypt, Egypt battles back, then in retaliation they sink some ships in the suez canal, thereby blocking it. Good thing the UN came in and settled everything! Whew! Some rather sad and amazing footage is shown of the Hungarian Revolution. Hungary tries opposing the russian forces, seems victorious, only to be crushed again. Sad, but a timeless snapshot of Communism at it’s worst. In India, the Gunu river floods, causing chaos. People run out to the water clogged streets. all in a franzy. Meanwhile in the USA, The Mississippi gets a mattress to prevent flooding. I’m still not too sure of how it works but it’s pretty wild to see this installed. Next we see soem acrobatic firemen demonstrating fire rescue techniques using the fire blanket catcher and slides. One fireman nearly misses the slide lol. After that, a scientist works FOR PEACE with atoms, showing for the first time in many a film, they’re doing it in a SAFE manner, like behind protective glass, using robotic hands. None of this really long clamp stuff. Oh, and as I said, this is working with atoms for PEACE, alright? The DEW line’s construction is profiled next, as we see ships hurrying to get to the arctic before winter sets in. The DEW (Defense Early Warning) system’s history is excellently shown in The DEW line story (which is another film on here). Excellent footage is shown when a plane crashes in the middle of the ocean and it’s rescue. Contrary to popular belief, planes don’t land nicely in water. At least, this plane didn’t. The plane plainly breaks in half. Noone, according to this, is seriously hurt. Wow! Finally, we see a scientist explore life under the sea. The deeeep sea, I mean microscopic. not exactly something you havent seen, but enjoyable nevertheless. Release Date: 1956 Entered the Public Domain: 1985 　 Film 17: The News Magazine of the Screen (January 1957) B&W Runtime 21 Minutes In this (also) excellent collection: People leave Hungary in droves after Russia insists it’s not leaving anytime soon. DRAMATIC escapes are shown, across fields, across a tree branch, etc. Wow. Meanwhile, in Egypt, The UN steps in to remove the ships in the way in the Suez Canal. The blockage is causing tankers not to get through, causing severe great shortages. EXCELLENT coverage of people running out of gas lol. More excavation is shown done in Pompeii. They discover some pillars and a body encased in stone. Interesting. I thought the body would be burned (incenerated actually) from the lava. Oh well, silly me. An artist who can make art on a pinhead is then shown. Sort of unusual, but not as uncommon as anything you might see at a fair (there’s a lady here who can put initials on a grain of rice) Next, an expedition up Monteraat is shown to put a statue of Mary up there. Apparently one was discovered there many centuries ago. The mountain DOES look steep… A very cute guessing game where an animal part is shown very close up, and we guess what animal is shown. Cute cute cute. An exploration of Lehman caverns is up next, some nice shots stacalytes AND Stagalmites are shown, nice formations too. They even play music! Finally, a great tour of the NY Public Library is shown.
