Summary:

EISINHOWER TRUMAN URGE FOREIGN AID PLAN In Washington, D.C., 1200 national leaders put aside partisanship to join in a day-long Citizen's Conference to support a strong Foreign Aid program. Highlighting the occasion are speeches by former President Truman and President Eisenhower. RED TURBO-JET. Russia proudly shows off the TU-114 turbo-jet airliner, a mammoth craft capable of flying 220 passengers non-stop from Moscow to New York. A new bid for technical supremacy. YANG-TZE BRIDGE. Red China pulls out all the propaganda stops to celebrate the completion of a mile-long 2-deck bridge across the Yangtze, the first time the great river has been spanned. SOLAR HOUSE. In Massachusetts, a close-up of a house whose sole source of heat is the Sun. The experimental heating plant collects the sun's energy to keep the house comfortable year-round. ZOO NEWS. Spring is in the air at the San Francisco Zoo. Celia the Camel proudly shows off 1-day old Cecil, and the Tapirs introduce little "Watermelon". Duke the Tiger goes for a swim in the moat! CUBAN SPORTS FESTIVAL MARRED Cuba's sports festival is marred, first by the daring kidnapping of racing star Niguel Fangio just before the big race, a rebel move to disrupt the event, and then by tragedy on the track, when a car skids on an oil slick, and crashes into the crowd. 6 die in the disaster.
