Summary:
PRISONERS OF WAR EXCHANGED KOREA - A wave of rejoicing sweeps over families of servicemen as the first batch of sick and wounded prisoners are exchanged at Panmunjom. Thirty Americans and seventy of other nationalities are among them. Red prisoners from surrounding islands are brought to Pusan to be taken to the transfer point. TWISTERS RIP SOUTH GEORGIA - Tornados rip through three southern states, killing at least 11, injuring hundreds, leaving thousands homeless. A grim, arduous task of reconstruction awaits citizens of hard-hit Columbus and others in 'Tornado Alley'. NEW SHELL FOR OLD WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA - A new version of the old shell game, as the Armed Forces reclaim used shell casings from the battlefield, and recast them into new ammo - saving scarce brass, and thus saving the taxpayers' money. ISRAEL MARKS 5TH ANNIVERSARY NEW YORK - Lester Pearson, President of the United Nations General Assembly, extends congratulations to Israel as the young Nation celebrates its 5th birthday. PRINCESSES AND HORSES HOLLAND - Princess Irene and Princess Beatrix demonstrate their prowess as equestriennes, competing for the Silver Horseshoe, the country's outstanding event for young contestants. BRITAIN HONORS UNITED STATES AIRMAN LONDON - Britain's Home Secretary Sir Donald Fyfe awards the George Cross to 22-year old United States Airman Reis Leming, for his heroic rescue work in last winter's North Sea floods. TWO-BODIED SPEEDSTER ITALY - A unique twin-bodied midget racing car zooms down the ancient Appian Way for a new record in its class; a sizzling 102 mph.
