WEBVTT 1 00:00:12.100 --> 00:00:17.720 A new review of the week presented with the combined facilities of TeleNews Productions, 2 00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:21.560 International News Service and International News Photos. 3 00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:40.480 The war is carried north of the 38th parallel. These scenes give a quick idea of North Korea. 4 00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:45.600 TeleNews films believed to be the only ones available of the red area. They show heavy 5 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:51.960 industry there as opposed to agricultural South Korea. Even locomotives are manufactured in the north. 6 00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:02.220 Culture is completely under Soviet influence. For example, one of the first projects undertaken 7 00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:09.640 at this university after the country's liberation from Japan in 1945 was the translation of Joseph 8 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:17.460 Stalin's biography. Elections, loosely speaking. There is campaigning but only one party. There is 9 00:01:17.460 --> 00:01:23.600 voting but only one slate of candidates. The people cast either yes or no ballots. 10 00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:30.320 Distribution of land makes good propaganda, but as in all communist countries it ends up as state 11 00:01:31.220 --> 00:01:35.940 In South Korea, a similar step really benefited the landless farmers. 12 00:01:45.860 --> 00:01:51.940 Beyond this point is the Russian border. Those words have had an ominous meaning in Europe. 13 00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:58.880 Today they arouse even greater fear than before. Here Soviet troops in Berlin stand guard at their 14 00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:05.200 own border facing British soldiers only a few feet away. This is Berlin where Russia's 15 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:11.760 blockade was defeated by America's airlift last year. Berlin, a western island surrounded by red 16 00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:19.100 territory where the Soviet Union is again provoking border friction. But Berlin is not the only hot spot. 17 00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:25.000 In Vienna where east-west relations have been cordial until now, similar incidents begin. 18 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:31.720 These films symbolize American-Russian friendship. They show a Soviet military band playing 19 00:02:31.720 --> 00:02:37.240 as U.S. troops participate in a ceremony marking the monthly transfer of the city's 20 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:46.020 controls from one of the occupying powers to the next. The stars and stripes are hoisted over the 21 00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:54.980 administration building, but Vienna, like Berlin completely surrounded by red territory, the only 22 00:02:54.980 --> 00:03:01.600 spot clashed was in for a shock this week. Riots broke out, communist riots inspired by Soviet 23 00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:08.340 occupation forces. A strike was called, a strike to paralyze the city. When it failed, 24 00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:13.800 communist hoodlums seized key railroad stations. They threw roadblocks across the only highway 25 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.200 to the western sector. 26 00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:15.200 27 00:03:21.220 --> 00:03:26.540 rabble rousers in sight of the population result in widespread property destruction, 28 00:03:26.940 --> 00:03:33.500 severance of communication and transportation links, and a threat of blockade. Is Vienna 29 00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:35.240 becoming another Berlin? 30 00:03:41.320 --> 00:03:46.320 Margaret Truman drops in on the patients of Calleran Veterans Hospital on Staten Island, 31 00:03:46.700 --> 00:03:52.160 not as the president's daughter, but as a fellow musician. The boys have been studying under the 32 00:03:52.160 --> 00:03:58.340 musician's emergency fund. One of the most talented pupils is 23-year-old Marine Corporal Herb 33 00:03:58.340 --> 00:04:05.220 Frankhauser. He not only plays, but writes music. His sidekicks like it, and so does Mr. Frankhauser. 34 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:06.360 Margaret Truman. 35 00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:13.400 She tells the boys they're playing would do justice to a Hollywood production, 36 00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:19.400 but they can't talk her into rendering a song herself. So the disabled vets strike up the band 37 00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:21.320 and give her a concert. 38 00:04:26.420 --> 00:04:30.300 Two new buildings for New York City bring important contributions to modern living. 39 00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:36.260 At the Museum of Modern Art, a model of Bellevue's new medical center breaks the 19th century's 40 00:04:36.260 --> 00:04:42.220 pattern of monotony. A unified design, college, dormitory, clinic, and 20-story hospital. 41 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.260 Another improvement for cave dwellers is Lieber House, an office building. 42 00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:58.900 Its ground floor will go unrented, used as an open concourse for the public. 43 00:04:58.900 --> 00:05:04.260 Looking out onto the terrace is the cafeteria, a geometric mass of 21 stories, 44 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.180 as much a civic monument as Rockefeller Center. 45 00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:19.780 A quite old American custom really gets the treatment in Portugal. It's a beauty contest, 46 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.480 in case you hadn't guessed, and the proceedings start off with a show of female fashions 47 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:29.540 rule the ages. This garment was favored by Miss Egypt of 30 BC. 48 00:05:32.060 --> 00:05:39.220 And these are the Miss Portugal candidates of 1950 AD. Too bad Cleopatra isn't in the running. 49 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.580 She could teach her 20th century sisters a thing or two. 50 00:05:48.380 --> 00:05:50.040 This is Miss Portugal. 51 00:05:56.060 --> 00:06:00.260 Looks like American gals haven't got a worry in the world. 52 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:07.760 Military band at the port of Busan, Korea, blares out a welcome for United Nations reinforcements. 53 00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:13.800 Their Filipino troops prepared to join in combat. United Nations observers go aboard the transport 54 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:19.280 to greet the vanguard of 5,000 expected from the Philippines, the first country from Asia 55 00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:20.980 to send its men to the front. 56 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:34.900 In Berlin, the European Industrial Fair is a feather in the cap of retiring ECA Chief Paul 57 00:06:34.900 --> 00:06:39.820 Hoffman. He observes that this exhibition of Marshall Plan results contrasts sharply 58 00:06:39.820 --> 00:06:44.860 with East Berlin, where he says desolation is piled on desolation. 59 00:06:48.520 --> 00:06:52.440 Washington's Secretary of Labor Morris Tobin has good news for the working man. 60 00:06:52.440 --> 00:06:54.840 He says there is no unemployment. 61 00:06:55.400 --> 00:06:59.700 Occupational manpower shortages are developing in many of the states, 62 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.480 but as yet there is no general manpower shortage. 63 00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:09.180 Almost every man desiring a job is able to get a job today. 64 00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:14.560 Almost everything that is being produced finds a very ready market. 65 00:07:15.540 --> 00:07:20.400 In New York, the celebrated hostess Pearl Mester arrives from Luxembourg where she's US Minister. 66 00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:23.580 Reason? A rumored request for a higher diplomatic post 67 00:07:23.580 --> 00:07:28.100 and an appearance at the Broadway play Call Me Madam, a satire on her career. 68 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.400 England, a mass for Catholic servicemen by Francis Cardinal Spelman. 69 00:07:35.640 --> 00:07:39.540 He visits a US Air Force base near London during his tour of the country 70 00:07:39.540 --> 00:07:43.200 on the 100th anniversary of Roman Catholic restoration here. 71 00:07:43.580 --> 00:07:47.820 Quote from the Cardinal, courageous prayers are mightier than at home. 72 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.740 American track and field stars parade in Tel Aviv, Israel as the Maccabee Games, 73 00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:03.820 the Jewish Olympics, get underway. 74 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.740 A delegation from India is among the 30 nations represented. 75 00:08:13.460 --> 00:08:18.420 The Israeli team, men and women, numbers 240, the largest of all squads. 76 00:08:18.840 --> 00:08:20.380 America has 43,000 men and women. 77 00:08:20.380 --> 00:08:21.580 Three competitors. 78 00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:28.020 Irv Monsheim, former US decathlon champ and leader of the American group, 79 00:08:28.260 --> 00:08:30.340 watches the runner carry the traditional torch. 80 00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:33.820 In total points, America finished second behind Israel, 81 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:38.480 the first defeat for a US track team in international competition since the war.
