Summary:

END OF A TYRANT With the streets of Caracas still aflame and littered with the debris of a day of rioting, Venezuelans hail the ouster of dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez, and look forward to the return of democracy. AGA KHAN. The new Aga Khan, grandson of the late leader of the 20 million Ismaili Muslims is invested in Pakistan, as Imam of the sect, in ceremonies of solemn splendor. LONDON FIRE. In a blaze reminiscent of the worst days of World War II, London's vast Smithfield meat market burns to destruction in a 2-day conflagration that defies fire-fighters. ROUND HOUSE. Germany ships the first of 3 round houses to the Belgian Congo. Less than 20 feet across, the metal sphere contains all the comforts of home, proving good things come in small packages. WINTER SPORTS Sports are fast and low-down in Austria, at Garmisch, the Italians streak away with the 2-man bobsled crown. Elsewhere the one-man sleds make sports news, plummeting clown icy courses at hair-raising speeds. FILM-MAKERS' COMMUNION BREAKFAST In New York City, following Mass at St. Patrick's, 1100 members of the motion picture industry-executives, performers, and employees, gather for the annual Communion Breakfast that has become a New York tradition.
