Topic: Close - East to the serious crisis developing in the last few weeks, the situation in the Middle East has eased noticeably. An air bridge, supplied the British troops in Jordan to the most important goods. In Beirut, life goes on its normal course. The natives take little notice of the American units. Intensive negotiations and discussions on the Middle East conflict to determine the image of politics in Western capitals. The 2 1/2 hour meeting between Dr. Adenauer, and US Secretary of State John Foster Dulles revealed a full agreement in the assessment of the situation. The Council of Ministers of the Baghdad Pact countries to a meeting was convened in London. The English Prime Minister McMillan said in the opening speech: the aim of the London Conference was to confirm the Baghdad Pact as an instrument of collective security.

Ural: Red alert for Russian flying forest police in the endless expanses of Siberia. Day and night the pilots trained as a demolition expert over the tops of Tataria forests revolve around to stifle emerging fires already in the bud. Fire-fighters from the air is the only way to prevent the destruction of the valuable trees. New Zealand: The New Zealand parachute athletes Danny Lane trained for a new world record in Hamilton. He wants to reach the very possible record time in free fall from a height of 2000 meters. After 16 seconds, Danny Lane draws the line. A hobby horse for truly iron nerves.

Vienna: The first hotel with an internal radio communication was opened in Vienna. Each guest receives a miniature receiver from the doorman. He needs no longer next to the telephone to wait for the call. By the transmitter, he is just as easy to reach, such as in the bathroom in the restaurant. Also the employees have their receivers, which contributes a lot to the rationalization of the operation. Only in the kitchen, the new radio system causes some confusion.

Munich: 400 years ago Leonardo da Vinci, discovered that you can correct eye error on this somewhat uncomfortable way. Get same effect with small marvels of the optical industry today. It took many experiments, until the so-called contact lens reached the level of its present perfection. Merit charges for the Munich optician Wilhelm Peter Söhngen, who was honored in the United States recently with the honorary doctor title. The lenses are ground according to complex calculations and put the patient on the eyeballs. The small correction is completely invisible to the environment. A significant relief, which serves mainly actors and athletes in professional life.
