Summary:

WAR IN KASHMIR The troubled UNITED NATIONS is facing still another crisis - this one in disputed Kashmir. The U N Security Council meets on the problems that have brought India and Pakistan to a state of War. In 1949 the U N established a cease-fire line after the two countries had fought over the disputed territory after gaining independence from Britain. Now the Security Council votes 11 to 0 demanding that they withdraw their forces behind the line. Secretary General U Thant leaves for the scene of action to confer with leaders of both nations as the first pictures arrive here of the war area. "BETSY" (ugly, vicious) WHIPS FLORIDA: Rising winds herald the appearance of the season's most undesirable visitor to Miami shores and the Florida Coast. Namely: "BETSY" (no lady...despite the demure name). The first major hurricane of the year follows an erratic course after lashing the Bahamas. When "BETSY" finally hits Florida - from the Keys north to Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach, with winds reaching a peak of 145 m.p.h. - the damage done is in the millions...mostly from water, since "BETSY" struck at high tide, driving the sea far inland.
