Summary:

IKE WARNS OF RED POWER GRAB IN SYRIA Syria's President el Kuwatly arrives in Cairo following a coup by pro-Red Army officers. In Washington, meanwhile President Eisenhower charges that Russia's objective is to seize power in Syria. PROJECT MAN-HIGH Air Force doctor Major David Simons ascends from Minnesota to the very rim of the stratosphere in a record-shattering balloon flight, testing man's ability to survive under conditions like those of outer space. CARDINAL SPELLMAN Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, arrives in Rome on a visit that marks the 25th anniversary of his consecration as Bishop. PREVIEW '58 SWIM STYLES Near Portland, Oregon, scenic Lake Oswego is the setting for a preview of a sparkling "champagne collection" of swim styles for '58. KOREA LIBERATION DAY In Seoul, a giant parade, paced by smart-stepping cadets from U.S.-styled military academies, commemorates the nation's 12th anniversary of liberation. SHERIFF'S RODEO A near-capacity crowd jams Los Angeles Coliseum for the 13th annual Sheriff's Rodeo. Big, mean Brahmas and buckin' broncos make it fast paced, hard-riding thriller. SALMON DERBY Off Vancouver, 20,000 eager anglers take part in Canada's biggest fishing derby. The big ones are biting-the biggest of all a 29 lb. 10 oz. monster.
