Summary:

FIRST FILM PRISONERS EXCHANGE KOREA - First films from Panmunjom, Korea show United Nations prisoners of war released by the Communists. Showing the effects of their harsh captivity, they are sped by truck and helicopter to "Freedom Village" for the best care the United Nations Command can provide. Interviewed by newsmen, they tell of Red prison camp atrocities. SUBWAY OF TOMORROW NEW YORK - A subway rider's dream is prevued in scale model form. It's the world's first underground conveyor-belt subway, proposed to replace Manhattan's outmoded cross town shuttle system. VETS CRUISE IN LUXURY WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA - The Presidential Yacht 'Williamsburg' begins a series of twice weekly cruises for wounded G.I.'s. The Presidential Yacht set to be moth-balled, still has luxurious appointments that regale a new type of very important person. MOTORCYCLE HILL CLIMB SEATTLE - Handlebar jockeys tackle a rugged upgrade at the "Jolly Rogers" annual spring outing and get their comeuppance on the dirt track. Only one can make the grade in this spill-filled motorcycle tournament.
