Summary:

RETURN FROM RED BONDAGE AUSTIA - Moving scenes of reunion and of hopes shattered, as 190 arrive home after years in Red slave camps. Men, women and children seized by the Reds without cause or warning return with grim tales of those they left behind, including Americans in Soviet bondage. MIGHTY BLAST CLEARS QUARRY ITALY - A titanic blast opens a quarry for use, shattering a compact mass of 100,000 tons of rock that has made the subterranean caverns a deadly labyrinth of death, defying all similar efforts since 1931. RAINWEAR FASHIONS NEW YORK CITY - New style and high style in raincoats - ranging from a chic white gabardine with print border to a Paris original in white kid with mink collar. Let it pour - the gals will look better than ever. JOSE FERRER HONORED NEW YORK CITY - Jose Ferrer, star and director of Universal-International's recent release "The Shrike," receives a scroll lauding his outstanding work in the picture from Misses Dean Gray Edwards, motion picture chairman of the National Council of Women of the United States. BULL FIGHTS MAN - AND WINS SPAIN - One of the biggest bull-fights of the season, and a trigger-tempered Toro disregards the matador's finesse to take over, toppling matador, picadors, and a horse for an upset victory of a sort. WORLD'S LARGEST GLOBE MASSACHUSETTS - The world's largest globe, 28 feet in diameter, is unveiled. Built at a $200,000 cost, it shows the world as it would look to an observer 5,000 miles out in space. The globe is intended to help business students visualize the problems of global economic planning. AUTO RODEO FRANCE - An American auto rodeo visits Paris, famed for its hair-raising traffic, and shows what a professional team of motor maniacs can do. Leaping cars, crashing cars, burning cars - the Rue de la Paix was never like this. Sacre Bleu!
