A crisis after another the most disturbing event of the week: from the Southeast Asian hotspot Viet Nam hit dangerously high flame. Since 1959, the jungle war between South Vietnamese troops and the Communist Viet Cong forces supported by Beijing is raging here. After 5 years of war the Government controlled only the cities and the airspace over South Vietnam: the Communists rule the streets and the flat land. Now, Vietnam was placed under martial law by his Prime Minister, General Khan. The 2-million city Saigon took note of the new location and is now as extinct. The fighting attended severity at the 17th parallel.
The acute exacerbating of the situation had begun to attack North Vietnamese speedboats on two U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. 3 days later, the United States fought back. Of aircraft carriers of the 7. Over sound fast fighter-bombers launched fleet out to destroy home ports and supply points of the North Vietnamese fleet and other military facilities, and an oil depot of the Communists in 64 matches.
An hour before the Entrust President Johnson had justified the American approach as necessary to the preservation of freedom in a speech to the nation. An opinion poll showed that 85 percent of Americans are unanimously behind the President; 3 percent opposed his measures; and 12 percent did Not at all know that it had become a crisis in Viet Nam.
In Beijing, Mao tse Tung confined to sharp protests. There is no doubt that he wanted to make the American paper tiger to the test.
Cyprus became a second hotspot. On the Mediterranean island, Archbishop of Makarios its intensified pressure on the Turkish minority challenged a warlike action of the Government in Ankara. After national Turkish fighters and bombers to the protection of the Turkish minority had flown several attacks, the Greek Government sent also air and naval forces into the war zone. Archbishop of Makarios, who feels abandoned due to its policy of all the Kremlin has asked for help.

Sauregurkenzeit is Mr Schmitt and UFA in Bonn. But political publication medium of this knowledge can not live, the social democratic deputies said Vockenhausen, recommends in a SPD-Shadow Cabinet as Minister of the Interior, has discovered the UFA Wochenschau and without any justification in the SPD press service accused her of partisan tendencies. In many newspapers's was so gegedruckt.
In correspondence of the FDP Liberal, the UFA was a spontaneous defenders. She answered Mr Schmitt-Vockenhausen: "while respected columnists and renowned film critic especially like to certify this week show that they have found as one of the first companies of its kind to new forms, the SPD domestic politician accuses now, she would not objectively report events of the time.
Here arises the question of how much actually must have the SPD time and money, to systematically monitor even the German newsreels. The eye of big brother on Germany's cinema screens!"
As far as the FDP. The eye of big brother on the big screen should become a reality, then - revered viewers - it looks in the future at the UFA weekly news: Ellen will be issued to all cutting rooms and the absolute disposition by proportional has approached his sovereign rule.
For 1 meter Erhard - 1 meter Brandt. For 1 meter of Mende - 1 meter Erler. For 1 meter Strauss - 2 m Schmitt-Vockenhausen.
But be reassured. Let's not scare us by the sight of big brother. The cameramen of the UFA Wochenschau will continue to report fairly about what they consider to be interesting and important. The party book does not matter.

A touch of records begins the sports report with a film report of the 64th German Championships in Berlin. Their conclusion: Wide range of performance, but no sensation of international stature. Home to the 100-meter run of men; After 10, 3 seconds short buckling mountain before Rahman/Oberhausen and Schumann/Bremen decided the 800 metre runner in the finish by the Wuppertal with 10,4. -. The surprise was not the victory of the highly favored Wuppertalers children in 1:48, 3 minutes, but the 2nd place of the Kemper/Ibbenbühren.
In the long jump, small/Hamburg 7.85 creates m. enough for victory and the Olympic candidacy. -The pole vault of Leverkuseners Reinhardt 5, 05 m the few, really standout services include these Championships before the Olympic excrements against the zone.
John/Hanover won the 110 m hurdles in 14, 3 seconds before Trzmiel Bochum and Nabil Jack / Mainz. -When the Javelin began, it had rained some time. This litter was Salomon, as generally expected, no. 1. Its wide 77, 94 m.
The young Kiel Uwe Beyer proved best hammer thrower and pretty Olympic shoo-in. He threw 63, 87 m - women's high jump, Marlene Schmitz Porz clinched the title of champion over 1, 67 m. -With their quick start, the blonde Renate Meyer rose at the 100 meters of women's had virtually won. Their lead could be jeopardized by Erika Fisch, nor by the Erika Pollmann ending on place 2 and 3 and Martha Pacheco Santos. Their time: 11.6 seconds. Renate was the only discovery of the pre Olympic Championships of track and field athletes. Sporting chocolates for lovers of these she's learned: rowing; except that the crews of eighth at the European Championships on the Bosbaan in Amsterdam had something urgent. From the glory of the Unschlagbarkeit of addition Ratzeburger were approved and appeared confident at the start and had to experience, that to almost 100 meters before the finish the Soviet rowers - boat 3, dark Jersey - held the tip.
The duel Germany - Soviet Union became one of the most dramatic confrontations of this Championship heated by the Olympic fever.
Only on the last 100 meters of the 2,000 m distance the Ratz burgers, succeeded to push the nose across the bow of the eights from Vilnius. The victory was razor-thin and in any case no guarantee Tokyo gold.
It's called kite-flying, "Dragon flight", in America this new kind of sport, which join the water skiing, the gliders and often swim. On the Tuxas Lake in Texas the best kite fought flyers now their Championships. The slalom runs through fountain goals.
Trick flying is complicated by the aerodynamic instability of the Dragons. Only about normal sexual performance and durable links allow total body mastery in this elastic suspension. Overdoing it is impossible the artistry of course, otherwise you fall with along with his hopes in the water, which has no bars fortunately also in Texas.
