Feast day of seafaring in Bremerhaven handed the former Swedish passenger ship "Gripsholm" on the German occupation director Karl k. by Norddeutscher Lloyd. In the future, the 19000-ton motor vessel will carry the name "Berlin" by the world's oceans. A new chapter in the history of the German passenger ships has thus begun.-the baptism to took the former Governing Mayor of Berlin Dr. Schreiber before.-the "Berlin" can carry 900 passengers. It is used in the regular trans-Atlantic service between Bremerhaven and New York.

Prominent guests to the 79th anniversary of the birth of the Federal President congratulated the Chancellor. And then came the diplomatic corps to the big new year's reception at the Villa Hammerschmidt.-under the leadership of the Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Muench 51 diplomats accredited in Bonn conveyed the congratulations of their heads of State. Four hours certain Gala uniforms, diplomat tails and cut the image of the large reception hall.-White tie and evening dress given the image of the Hotel Esplanade in Berlin. The prominence of the canvas to the big movie ball met there. With customary charm and Super tails: Willi Forst.-legal open-hearted chatted Barbara Rütting with O. E. Hasse. And also Magda Schneider and daughter Romi were not missing at the glamorous prom night in Berlin.-not less glamorous was in Munich; at the international dance tournament "Grand Prix of Europe". The English pair of master Harry Smith - Hampshire and Doreen Casey was one of the most original dances: Tango - with effet.

Germany: The 43-year old former Lieutenant-General and Inspector of the fighter pilot Adolf Galland returned from Argentina to Germany. Was it said shortly after the landing. (Original sound).

United States: First start the most modern American Delta aircraft in California. This new Convair machine is completely independent of weather and flies at supersonic speeds. The high speed makes it somewhat difficult landing. Here, to help with the parachute brake.

Bavaria: The SAS showed folk costumes from around the world in Munich. An Eskimo Lady's State wardrobe. The afternoon dress of an elegant Chinese. From over 30 countries, the most beautiful clothes were presented here. Of course, the exotic robes found special interest. She emphasizes simple clothing of Indian women. Sheherezade from 1000 and one nights will be here alive. This colourful kimono comes from Japan. And if these costumes usually not exactly for cocktail parties are - for the Carnival they give anyway, magnificent ideas.

Netherlands: In the company of two dogs and a trusting goose this gentleman touches almost every day through the forest; constantly on search of weird-shaped twigs and branches. You then just edit - and what comes out, is really amazing. Just a smooth root; a face on it - the dancer is ready. The games of nature are inexhaustible. You have to correct only a little. And it takes no longer than a nearby forest and much imagination.

Ring free!
Skin the Lucas! How durable is the motto under which the very demonstrate "free style fighter" in Paris, but man is. Of course, there's a winner in this fun sport. Just who does not to laugh. No wonder if he's there playing the wild man... Not less rough's in Brooklyn, was at the battle of amateurs to the coveted "Golden glove". What is lacking here on technology is replaced by CLOUT. Off. The next please. Patt Ardonino against Asap'sorber. The brave Asap'sorber resists as best he can. But he has no chance against Ardonino, the iron. Reasonably, Mister Sorber should give up now. But here is fought to the bitter end. On a new. Martin Brenner vs Arthur Wittenburg. And already Arthur goes to the boards, which mean the world the right Boxer. Once again he rises. But a whirlwind sweeps him away into the land of the pathetic dreams.

Swimming in Berlin: the masterful double jump by Sobek and hampel are among the highlights of the international Schwimmwettkämpfe in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. From five Nations was an elite field at the start. The women's 100 metre backstroke was a safe extraction of Geertje Wilemar - Holland. -She struck before the German mistress Helga Schmidt in 1:14, 5. A dramatic fight was the 100 metres breaststroke of men's. Karmakar (white cap) and Rademacher, the son of the great ETE, fought a bitter duel. Yet they turn at the same time, then moves Rademacher from centimetre to centimetre. In 1:12, Rademacher WINS just before Karmakar and rumble. Winter sports the best slalom skiers of the world were at the start in the special slalom in Grindelwald. Already after the first run, it was clear that the decision only between penny Berthod, Switzerland and the Italian could be Guiliana Minuzzo. EVI long had bad luck. She missed a gate, got 10 penalty seconds undfiel far back. Yet it was the best German.-Penny Berthod starts. Incredibly rapidly, it rushes through the 38 gates. With 57.2 seconds, she drives the fastest time of the day. But to win it is enough not.- and here the great run of Guiliana Minuzzo. With a half-second lead in the overall standings, the Italian brings the victory of Penny Berthod.-the Bavarian four-man championships on the Olympic track in Garmisch took an incredibly exciting history. In the first run, Bob Riessersee rode with Ostler and Nieboer the fastest time. But then came the second round - and the men put everything on one card on the Bob Ohlstedt I. How old seasoned veterans they hunted foolhardy in the severe curves, and they succeeded. They drove the absolutely fastest time with 1:15, 19. Thus, the Bavarian Championship went to clamp, Nirschel, Henn and Koller.
