Summary:

PRESIDENT VISITS DISASTER AREAS The President tours the tornado-devastated areas of Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana and sees scenes of desolation from the Presidential plane. He drives from South Bend, Ind., to Goshen and Dunlap, center of the worst damage. He says the scenes are "destruction the likes of which I have never seen before in all my life." He declares the tornado-struck states disaster areas, opening the way for quick Federal aid. Later he flies on to Minnesota and sees the swollen Mississippi as a raging flood crest bears down on St. Paul. It is the worst flood of a century with 20,000 persons forced to flee their homes. PRISONERS HOLD OWN ART SHOW Inmates of the California Prison Hospital put on their own art show - an exhibit that is visited by 10,000 outsiders. Stone walls do not a prison make - that's the picture these men paint to prove; that nothing imprisons a man's spirit or imagination. SMALL GUNS, BIG BROADSIDES The Small Fry at the Naval Academy - sons of personnel - put on their annual boxing fest...and they swing like there was no tomorrow. The kids have their ups and downs, but they prove they can lick a spoon of ice cream.
