The Flash tour of the American Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, which led him through London and Paris to Bonn, was the focus of a week of high political tension in political mission. The main topic of his meeting with Federal Chancellor Dr. Adenauer was: Berlin.
The topic of Berlin was in her luggage of and of other travelers. The Mayor of the island city arrived in America with his wife. The press in the United States described as the most important political guest these days Willy Brandt and welcomed Mrs Ruth as a charming Ambassador for Berlin.

To the topic: aviation safety heavy plane crash in New York, a four-engine turbo-prop - maker type Electra had missed the runway of at La Guardia Airport and crashed into the East River.
Of the 72 inmates of the machine only eight were recovered alive.
These victims of a botched landing make again burning up-to-date after the air traffic control in the age of Düsenverkehrsflugzeuge the question. English engineers have developed a novel navigation device for the Comet 4, which allows the pilots with the help of radio count at any time to read his exact location and course and guide the machine even at night and fog safely. About using this device in international aviation should be decided at the next air traffic control Conference in Montreal.
Awaiting travelers who still not quite so hurry even in the age of Jet Aviation, this new Ozeanriese of Norddeutscher Lloyd. As well as here in the model the 32 thousand ton passenger ship will look like, but it is still at the shipyard. It's the new "Bremen", which previously went under the name "Pasteur" under the French flag. It is after complete reconstruction be the biggest and fastest German passenger ship and used in service between Bremerhaven and New York. A new ship with an old, good name. Once in the year in the annual Carnival is, and once in a year we may not take it with the facts, because what we serve here, is a good through shaken Rosenmontagsumzug cocktail with ingredients from Berlin, Mainz, Munich and Cologne.
Under the more generous Eurowing's mild wand, the people of fools around the country to cheerful demonstrations for the blooming nonsense merged with deeper meaning.
This documentary unique sequence strongly indicates that the revellers not significantly differ from the Rhine by their fellow fools at ISAR and spree, because the sense of lewd humor is quite well developed at all and, if it seems so - but not entirely of cardboard.
This is already the Abgesang 'Great day'; whether in Munich or Berlin, whether in Cologne, Mainz or anywhere else - the end of the song is the same everywhere. Ash Wednesday but there are also only once per year. Season in white here but here is every day something like Ash Wednesday, on the Wurmberg near Braunlage in the Harz mountains.
Even for tourists in this scenic so attractive winter sports area, each ski tour leads to a new encounter with the border that separates Germany from Germany.
We observed an unusual course in a secluded valley of the French Alps. All these boys and girls are blind; but with this bold experiment there winter joys for them.
Because it's difficult, to re-orient themselves in the deep silence of the snow scene with the hearing they rely on highlight of the Alpine ski season and this venue by ski cannons all useful characters of the ski instructor and ski bunnies of many Nations was the 24th Arlberg-Kandahar race in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Anderl Molterer, the blonde lightning from Kitzbühel, and still many other favorite had to bury their chances of victory for the Alpine combination in the men's slalom. This is the Austrian Karl Schranz, 20 years old and not only because of the white winter Hat legitimate successor of Toni Sailer.
Here he wags his third victory of Kandahar, and unlucky congratulates Molterer first.
The downhill skiing decided victory or defeat on this small ski Olympics but. He was a dramatic race to tenths of a second on a course that was at first hotly contested.
By 89 launched runners alone 38 fell so hard that they had to give up. The Canadian John Semmeling paid his recklessness even with life.
Despite starting number 13 happiest, fastest on the boards, which here mean a world champion in Alpine combined: Karl Schranz from St. Anton.

Ice Queen from Vienna with Hanna Walter has been a second major success Austria this winter. 19 year old Viennese won the European Championships in figure skating due to excellent performance in the compulsory. The best free skate of Davos but ran Ina Bauer despite acclaim and high ranking but no longer managed the German champion to catch up from the obligation.
On the victory podium, was unfortunately missing.
