Summary:

THE STEPPED-UP WAR Henry Cabot Lodge is returning as Ambassador to Vietnam. Mr. Lodge resigned a year ago during the Presidential campaign. He is now resuming that post as United States efforts are stepped-up in the drive on Viet Cong rebels. In the jungle war, the U.S. is becoming more fully involved with each passing day. American combat troops penetrate "Zone D" to "search and destroy" this Viet Cong staging area. By helicopter and on foot they probe the jungle...the same jungle that is the target of B-52 bombers from Guam. CONVICTS CAPTURED AFTER CRIME WAVE: 24 hours of terror end for a family kidnapped by two convicts. Mr. and Mrs. Hale Champion and their 19-month old daughter were held captive by two gunmen on the final day of a week-long crime spree. The trail of crime involved holdups, murder, and the kidnapping of 9 persons before the bandits gave up in meek surrender. STUNT FLIER CRASHES TO DEATH: In the days when aviators flew by the seats of their pants, Paul Mantz was noted in stunt and speed circles as one of the most daring of his breed. At 61, his career ends as he lived...stunting a plane for a movie production in Arizona...crashing as he passes before the cameras. SPORTS SWEDISH HORSE WINS TROT: At the International Trot at Westbury, New York, 8 horses from 7 nations compete for $100,000 in prize money. Both of the favorites break stride and fall back as "Pluvier III" comes from the pack, takes the lead, and wins by a half-length. $50,000 in first prize money is a lot of kroner in Sweden....
