Tela News presents the news of the week in review, produced through the combined facilities of Tela News, International News Service, and International News Photos.

While a second conference on the Suez crisis prepared to meet in London this week, demonstrators rallied to protest any use of force in handling the dispute.

But with the offer of a plan to produce a peaceful settlement by the United States, Britain along with France is ready to attend the conference in a hopeful mood.

All is in readiness for the opening of the 18 nation meeting in Lancaster House, although there is some foreboding at first for the success of a cooperative association of canal users.

U .S.

Secretary of State Dulles comes with his program for United Action.

He's got solid support from Selwyn Lloyd, British Foreign Secretary.

The carrying a cane has some reservations, as does the Spanish delegation.

Iran is cool at the start, but Secretary Dulles has a few modifications in his original outline to propose to doubters at the conference table.

Inside, the Dulles approach for a peaceful settlement wins support of the free world's main sea powers.

Meanwhile, on the Suez Canal, Egyptian pilots work night and day with little time off for sleep.

The hard -pressed staff drains every ounce of energy to keep canal traffic moving.

The ships keep sailing through the canal without a break.

Their pilots hope to fight off extreme fatigue until foreign relief pilots are rushed through abbreviated training.

As long as the canal traffic keeps moving, Egyptian Premier Nasser stands pat, unconvinced of any argument that the customer is always right.

At their beautiful farm home in Gettysburg this week, the president and Mrs.

Eisenhower were ready for a visit from their grandchildren.

It's the last opportunity before the president starts serious campaigning.

They join the grandchildren in a motorized Surrey with a fringe on top.

Susan stays with the car, but Barbara Ann and David switch to horses where they know more about the driving.

David's Confederate cap starts political speculation, but he ends that explaining he's got a Union cap too.

It's the president who tends to the campaigning in this family and this weekend's reserve just for fun.

The harassed old lady who lived in a shoe would envy Mrs.

Burt White of Bowmanville, Ontario with 52 foster children under her roof in addition to five of her own, but the old roof can no longer hold the small army, so Union builders put up a new home free of charge.

Some non -union help too.

In this household, whether it's a mile of wash to be readied or a ton of food, it takes all hands to keep things running.

Even Papa pitches in on KP.

The dinner bell brings the growing youngsters running as if in answer to a fire alarm.

There's a variety of food and 57 varieties of tummies to make fast work of it.

The troubled old woman who lived in a shoe could have used Mrs.

White's secret.

System, that's all.

The Air Force tested its newest research rocket at Holloman Air Development Center New Mexico this week.

The HTV hypersonic test vehicle will reach several times the speed of sound in two seconds and lead to valuable information for future rocket flights.

Now she's ready to fire.

Now the two -stage launching in slow motion.

First the booster propels it and then the rocket sails upward at hypersonic speed.

Special speed cameras record a double image.

A hypersonic detective.

Charred fragments of a B -52 stratofort were strewn for over a mile on each side of US Highway 99 near Madeira, California.

The bomber crashed and exploded, killing five crew members.

A nearby farmhouse is burned to the ground, caught in the blazing shower of wreckage and gasoline.

The two crewmen who parachuted to safety will tell their story to Air Force investigators.

Meanwhile all B -52 training flights are grounded during the probe.

The German Industries exhibition in Berlin starred an outer space display presented at the United States Pavilion.

It's intended to acquaint the German public with American research for an artificial earth satellite.

US Ambassador James Conant is among the thousands of visitors who view this model of a man -made moon revolving around the earth.

The visitors also view special instruments for tracking the satellite.

Advanced radar will peer into space.

Research rockets will be launched 300 miles above the earth as man prepares to probe the mysteries of the universe.

The United States cooperated in an Atoms for Peace display in Israel.

The exhibit features Israel's latest progress in harnessing the atom for medicinal use.

Prime Minister David Ben -Gurion is an interested visitor to the show at the Keim Weizmann Institute.

Instruments trace radioactive chemicals injected into a body to provide doctors with information they could obtain in no other way.

Advances in radiation treatment for internal disorders are a satisfying sight to the Prime Minister.

The fleet pulled into Long Beach, California this week 200 ships strong.

The occasion is the first Mrs.

US Navy contest in which a sailor's wife will be chosen for having done the most to further her husband's career.

Secretary of the Navy Charles Thomas meets the 31 finalists in the ceremony.

The grand finale takes place ashore at the Coronation Ball.

The sailor's choice is attractive Mrs.

Beverly Ellis of Norfolk, Virginia marching with her proud hubby to be congratulated by Secretary Thomas.

The Navy honors its first official Queen of the Sea.

The sport of Kings was viewed by an authentic royal couple Princess Grace and Prince Rignier in Atlantic City this week.

They're here for the United Nations Handicap along with Grace's father, president of the track.

Nine horses break from the gate for $100 ,000 prize money.

Grace looks to have money on this one.

The horses come pounding down the stretch with fine leading and the pack.

Fisherman stays at his heels keeping the pressure on and coming fast on the outside it's career boy and he wins it.

And the princess looks like a winner too.

The National Amateur Golf Tournament in Chicago Chuck Cox's tees off in the final round.

His opponent is the title holder from last year's contest Harvey Ward.

In the final holds Ward shows the control that has kept him atop the amateur heap.

Here's a perfect 35 foot putt.

Cox's is good too but his luck isn't.

And now the wrap -up Ward's control holds up to defeat Cox's five and four.

For the second year in a row the US amateur championship goes to the 30 -year -old Lynx master Harvey Ward.

They opened the gates at Oklahoma State Prison at McAllister this week to let the public and the guards watch the annual prison rodeo.

Many of the inmates are former Cowboys among other things and they put on a bruising show to raise money for the prison welfare fund.

These Bronco Busters have been out of training a while and the horses make painfully apparent.

He'd like a second chance.

And now the tough Brahma Bull.

Even with the prison gates wide open the prisoners could never make a break on these critters.

Now man against beast on the ground the one who succeeds in snaring a ribbon from the bull's horns wins a prize at prison canteen.

It hardly seems fair that bull should be locked up for obstructing justice.

Medieval ships sailed again on Italy's Lake Como for the traditional tournament on the Lario.

The maritime setting recalls the days of seven centuries ago when a legendary dragon reigned supreme in the lake.

Spear -throwing warriors revived the skills used to combat that mythical monster.

Next a return to knighthood duels that usually means a bath in the seaborne version of the sport.

Now jousting for a dousing.

Coming up double portions for the scaly demon of the deep.
