- Summary:
- GERMAN PARLIAMENT SPLIT ON SAAR ISSUE GERMANY - Ratification of the German rearmament pact is endangered as Social Democrats form a coalition with other parties to oppose Chancellor Adenauer, and heckle him during an address urging approval of the Saar treaty and the Paris Pact. EARLY BIRD MONUMENT NEW YORK CITY - Pioneers of American aviation, the Early Birds are honored with the unveiling of a monument on Governor's Island, site of one of America's earliest air schools. CAMERA OBSCURA SAN FRANCISCO - Close-up of Lloyd Jennings' homemade "camera obscura," one of the few of its kind. It's a huge bellows with a whopper of a lens that takes big, clear photos up to 10 miles away! SIGHT-SEEING HOLIDAY ATHENS - Christmas under the Mediterranean sun. G.I.'s on a sight-seeing tour of the Acropolis - built before Christ, and still unrivalled for architectural magnificence. FESTIVE FASHIONS FOR 1955 NEW YORK CITY - Festive fashions for 1955, from the drawing board of stylist Oleg Cassini, modeled in their natural habitat, the swank El Morocco night club. SPORTS NOVELTIES BASQUES BULGE BICEPS in a Madrid exhibition of their own style weight-lifting. They casually juggle huge blocks of massive wood and a giant sphere of marble in a demonstration of feats that would floor lesser men. DANCING ON AIR over the streets of Los Angeles are Betty and Benny Fox, the Skydancers, performing their unique hair-raising act on a tiny platform extended from the roof of a high, high building.
