- Summary:
- SOUTH AFRICA PREMIER SHOT: South Africa's Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd is shot twice, before the camera, in an assassination attempt by a white cattle farmer. The assassination attempt, at a Fair marking the 50th Anniversary of the Union of South Africa, rouses new alarm in a country already racked by violence-marked racial crisis. KOREAN ELECTION RIOTS: In the wake of allegedly scandal-ridden riots that gave South Korea's President Rhee his fourth term in office, thousands clash with police in angry outbreaks. "PATRICK HENRY" COMMISSIONED: A great name out of history joins the ranks of the submarine fleet. The Patrick Henry, newest in the revolutionary class of vessels firing the Polaris missile, and powered by nuclear reactors, is formally commissioned at Groton, Conn. ITALIAN FASHION PARADE: At swank San Vincent, a parade of lovely Italian models presenting a range of new styles from daringly scanty sun shorts to evening wear of lacy, sculptured elegance, states the case for the season to come. . . . . . CELTICS WIN N.B.A. CROWN: At Boston Garden, the Celtics, sparked by Bob Cousy in sensational form, down the St. Louis Hawks by a resounding 122 to 103 in the 7th and deciding game of the N.B.A. championship series. PALMER WINS MASTERS ON LAST STOKE: At Augusta, Georgia, high drama on the links in the Masters. After Ken Venturi holes out leaving Arnold Palmer needing 2 birdies to beat him, the '58 winner defies the tremendous pressure to come out ahead with a one stroke lead. A fine approach shot and a tension-filled 6 foot putt on the 18th hole bring Palmer his second Masters.
