Summary:

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FOR PREMIERE PFLIMLIN The French Assembly's smashing 475-100 vote continuing the government's emergency powers in revolt-torn Algeria could be taken as a rebuff to General Charles de Gaulle's bid for power. The vote was one of the biggest majorities ever won by a postwar French Premiere. Troops still maintain order in the French capitol. Despite the tremendous tension the people take the crisis calmly and with their usual nonchalance and sang-froid. Meanwhile, at his estate in Colombey-Les-Deux-Eglises, 150 miles southeast of Paris, General de Gaulle awaits French diplomats are betting on General de Gaulle. One informed source says the situation is clear: The Assembly has confidence in Mr. Pflimlin, who has confidence in General Salan, who has confidence in General de Gaulle, who does not have confidence in the Assembly but expects it to have confidence in him. CITY HAILS VAN CLIBURN: A traditional ticker tape parade up lower Broadway is New York's way of saluting musician Van Cliburn, Texas-born American youth who topped the world's best in Moscow-sponsored Tchaikovsky Piano Competition. NUCLEAR SHIP: At Camden, New Jersey, the main event of National Maritime Day is the laying of the keel for the first nuclear-powered ship N.S. Savannah. Mrs. Richard Nixon, wife of the Vice-President is present at the ceremonies. BRIGANTINE: An appropriate arrival in New York Harbor on Maritime Day is the full-masted brigantine "Albatross", owned and skippered by best seller novelist, Ernest K. Gann, whose latest "TWILIGHT OF THE GODS" is a colorful saga of the sea - also a 'must-see' motion picture adapted from the book by E. K. Gann. MID-AIR COLLISION: A National Guard Air Jet and a transport plane collide over the State of Maryland. 12 people perish in the third mid air crash this year between military and civilian aircraft. Only the pilot of the jet survives SPORTS IT'S AN UP-HILL CLIMB: In California, the Modesto Motorcycle Club tackles a 70 degree grade rising out of Ospital Canyon 200 feet high. A tough assignment that makes for zip, snap and zing. RACE TRAGEDY: At the Grand Prix Spa- Belgium, a 131 mile cross-country race, tragedy stalks the path of pace-setting British auto racer Archie Scott-Brown, 31. His Lister-Jaguar skidded off the road, burst into flames causing his death.
