Drama in the mountains for 5 days rescue teams from 6 countries were fighting for the lives of 4 climbers, who himself had walked on the North wall of the Eiger Swiss.
Equipped with the most modern rescue equipment columns recorded the fight with the mountain. The biggest salvage operation in the history of mountaineering has begun.
The connection to the Valley was maintained via radiotelephony. The way of the Savior on the Jungfraujoch resulted high summits of the Eiger 3970 m.
But the mountain was relentless. Only one of the casualties could be saved, for the other three, there was no hope.

The reputation of Hiroshima July 30, 1957 in Hiroshima. The Japanese Hasegawa died of radioactive plague.
Japanese researchers of experiments his the result published on the 12th anniversary of the first atomic explosion. Fish eggs are exposed to the radiation of cobalt 60. Under the microscope the pathological change is 5 days later shows the comparison between a healthy and an irradiated cell is striking.
The deformed and moribund fish larvae from the radiation-contaminated gametes are the birth of healthy living beings from non-irradiated eggs.
Any attempts to belittle the radioactive danger, answered the Japanese with visible evidence. Radiant strontium 90 found in parts of the rice crop.
And 12 years after the rice farmer ogura suffers still insidious illness, which began in Hiroshima.

A big rally in the former pleasure garden was the highlight of the Soviet visit in East Berlin East aspects. The renewed backing of Pankower system by the Kremlin was obvious. In addition to party leader Chruschtschow partisan Ulbricht was held up unchanged. Secured in all directions Khrushchev and Mikoyan accepted the homage of a hundred thousand on the honor Gallery.
In Moscow, meanwhile, went the World Youth Festival game ends. The "living well" was just one of the many attractions in the gymnastic performances.
4,000 invited guests gathered in the Kremlin's walls, and the paths of the Tainizki garden offered a picture, as it is in the Soviet history without example. Against the bright backdrop of the coronation Cathedral, the Government organised a lavish ball night.
And for the second time, the world of the East surprised us this week with unusual aspects. The II went in the Polish Sopot. International Jazz Festival on the stage of an unfettered enthusiasm. Oblivion was suddenly the Communist slogan of the jazz as orgy of Western decadence. Thousands cheered the old masters of New Orleans, which made a better policy than some politicians alone with their musical abilities.

The great Trek In the Wonderland of animals with a chartered plane landed our cameraman in the Australian steppe, where the largest cattle drive in the history of the 5th continent began.
Bleached cattle skull are the milestones on the 4,000 km-long trail, which leads across from coast to coast through Australia.
Slowly moving the great Trek along the ancient waterway, and the goal in Queensland should be reached in little less than 6 months.
A kangaroo jump from Australia to Canada, in one of the last animal paradises in the world.
Inventory is in the National Park in Alberta, and joyful concern registers the joyful event for family bear. Strong junior has set even when the coyotes. The work of the guards is at the service of a wise policy of population among the animals, extends far beyond the sober registry, especially when for example a Moose-baby has lost his mother.
Deep peace, a reality there is in the enclosures of the Canadian Park, as they experience only the animals, since it seems unfortunately not humanly possible.

For gourmets as mushrooms taste, everyone knows, but as they are made, is a little secret. A Hungarian laboratory showed it to us. The selected breeding ground is closed in a sterilized jar.
Then to put a sterile root of mushroom with the breeding ground in connection, the Earth is inoculated with the fungus, so to speak. And after a short time the seeds ground with a myriad of fine threads is crossed.
Parts of them are planted in the beds of the mushroom cellar. A thick layer of sand kept the moisture, and after 21 days, the treat is ripe for the harvest. Pretty awkward, isn't it? Something easier are the tuna plant in French East Africa native workers. Since the production response considerably was mechanized, they reached the proud result of 1200 tuna-Tonnen per season.
The Senegal coast is the main hunting ground for the coveted delicacy from the sea, and for gourmets all over the world, so some fat chunks on the Angel struggles these days.

Sports: Records in the water for a swim party of records increased the this year's Championships in Landshut, Germany. Eight times, old bests in the shadows were made. About 100 m butterfly Ingrid Künzel, which far distanced their competitors in a great race, it was the Darmstädterin.
They won the Championship title in 1 minute 18.4.
The duel of the day is delivered about 100 m crawl. The record holder Wolfgang Baumann is already plenty nervous. Paul Voell, he wants to snatch the title. Baby goes after a parade start on track 4 in the lead, and at the turn he strikes first.
But to his right, defending peoples moved front - and being cheered on by his followers he wrestles off inch by inch the record man.
More and more, with powerful arm moves, he reduces the distance. Baumann subsides, and a great spurt peoples backs up the Championship for the ninth time.
Also the services of the jumpers were expected with great excitement. Seemingly the Jaanasheen embarks Bärbel urban on the 10-meter Tower and also their jumps are concerning. It will Tower champion of the ladies.
In the men's, it is the Cologne Heinz Weissbarth, who collects the most points. With Susanne Richter and Horst Rosenfeld, Germany art jumper presented two great talents. Controlled, elegant and harmoniously in flight and movement.
