Summary:

DULLES TELLS PRESIDENT OF GENEVA IMPASSE WASHINGTON, D.C. - Secretary of State Dulles reports to President Eisenhower on developments at the Geneva Conference, where Red obstructionism prevented any agreement on Korea, and where the Indo-China crisis has assumed even direr proportions. CANADA'S GOVERNOR GENERAL ADDRESSES CONGRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. - Canada's Governor General Vincent Massey, in the Capital to return President Eisenhower's 1953 state visit, addresses a joint session of the Congress on the importance today of the two nation's long standing mutual friendship. FREEDOM BALLOONS OVER IRON CURTAIN GERMANY - Films from a secret balloon launching site in free Germany, where volunteers prepare millions of leaflets for Czechoslovakians opposing their Red overloads - a message of hope from out of the blue. MOROCCO UPRISING QUELLED MOROCCO - Swift action by French police nips a Nationalist uprising in the bud as police round up some 300 suspected terrorists - latest skirmish in the terrorist campaign against the French sponsored Sultan. KOREAN PILOT ARRIVES SAN FRANCISCO - North Korean pilot Noh Kum Sok arrives in the United States where he'll spend a year studying. Last year he received a $100,000 reward for piloting a Russian built MIG to a United States airfield. MISS BERLIN CHOSEN WEST BERLIN - 25 of Berlin's loveliest Madchens vie for the title of Miss Berlin. Fairest of the fair is 19-year old Kaethe Holz Wunderschon. TIMBER TOPPER TOGGERY NEW YORK CITY - A special showing of fashions for timber-topping gals who stand over 5 feet 7 inches tall. A group of giraffes lend atmosphere as the new fashions - which solve a style problem for long-legged lovelies - are paraded. MOTOCYCLE HILL CLIMB SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - The Jolly Rogers, the Northwest's famed motorcycle club, get the season under way with an assault on Jolly Roger Hill, a 65 degree grade that has the handlebar jockeys gasping, and clutching dust. YACHTING SEASON OPENS SEATTLE - The city's giant fleet of small craft opens the yachting season with a colorful regatta on Lake Washington - a day marred by a minor collision which sends two deckhands overboard but does no other damage as the season gets off to a brisk start.
