For the life of the world 1 million believers, among them Munich made these days numerous Cardinals and bishops from all parts of the world, into a centre of the Christian faith. In the presence of the papal legate Gustavo Kardinal Testa was opened the 37th Eucharistic World Congress. Under sweltering heat moved to the faithful in a long procession to the Odeon square in front of the Feldherrnhalle. Here, where 37 years ago, the 3rd Reich ahead had thrown his bloody shadow, the International Eucharistic Conference initiated now spiral with a Pontifical mass by Cardinal. Appeal - Opfer-and Thanksgiving fairs, believers said their prayers "for the life of the world" for a week in accordance with the year's theme. This Congress is a rally against the dangers resulting of religious freedom in the East. The exhortation of Pope Johannes XXIII is aimed at the people around the world! In his haunting message he warns of the "so-called materialism, the moral life of humanity under some digging."

Political streiflichter France: with de Gaulle Dr. Adenauer arrived for talks with Foreign Ministers of Brentano in Paris. As a result, expect a more streamlined organization of 3rd Force Europe, perhaps with Paris as the European capital of. The imminent paralysis of political activity in the United States by the election gave indirect cause for this encounter.

United States: Less worry for the polling time however do seem to Americans. President Eisenhower was as identified with temperament and Carnivalesque impact of Richard Nixon and U.S. Ambassador Cabot Lodge as the opposing team to Kennedy/Johnson. There was Meanwhile, difficulties in the discussion of the choice program, as microscopic differences have become the program of the Democrats.

USSR: Even worry seems currently to Nikita Chruschtschow. Russia's intellectuals invited him along with party in a country house near Moscow to a summer festival of strong hugs. In the course of the afternoon, party and intellectuals seemed the proverbial suspicion that they otherwise against each other have to set down. However, experts doubt the duration of this sympathy.

From all over the world big day of the cadets of Sandhurst reason to celebrate had the Military Academy Sandhurst in England. 171 of the 800 cadets were eliminated, to serve their country as officers in the future. Prime Minister McMillan saw himself in a new role, when he picked up the traditional parade of the Queen in representation. Maybe he has even thought about it made himself, whether Sabre, horse and slow March meet even its raison d ' être in the Atomic century.

5 also de-personalized, but with radical intentions, 56,000 Scouts from all over the world set up nearby Colorado Springs, in the United States, their tents national Boy Scout meeting in America. The 5th national meeting was also a Jubilee: this organization in North America is 50 years. Sports competitions, the exchange of collecting experiences and friendship evidence across all nationalities across fill out the program of the far too short days. One of the evenings was a special experience for the foreign guests. The Koshare Indians reminded the former face of this continent in one of their ancient war dances. Italian cover girls at work have, dear viewers, ever thought about it made, as the front pages of illustrated sheets arise? Because we too full of reverence for the taste and the tenderness of title makers, we visited an Italian photographer in their creative work. You will be remembered the expressive power of great mimes this world if you look for a cover girl in these moving scenes. And it starts the time to understand, if you followed the imagination of these artists to their last turns.

CRI-CRI - the new dance from the hip appears to the Viewer no less bizarre imagination, who have developed Italian Tanzwütige in the invention of this musical body gym. CRI-CRI is the last of all dance hall screams. The items of this hip beating parquet game may not be brand new. Experts call the CRI-CRI as an illegitimate child of the Boogie-Woogie and the now world-shattering rock 'n' roll. If the youngest child of the once noble art of dance will also move the world, must be challenged however.

Trapezoidal sensation in Australia certainly great the flying Ashtons in Melbourne show every evening. In a time where the variety in all over the world of film and television threatens to become displaced, the Ashton's try to find new sensational highlights for its centuries old art. The 20-year-old Merv Ashton vollführt include a simple somersault on the Trapeze with a blindfold, a feat which nerves of steel.

Sport of the week – Swiss victory at the French kayak Championships "the international kayak Championship on the Isère at Bourg St. Maurice was organized by France. The 18 km-long course placed highest demands on strength and skill on the 96 competitors. The kayak, once much admired, managed with artistry novelty as a work device of the Eskimos in Europe, has become a popular sport boat. Some cool bath and the obligatory life jacket prove the danger of this type of competition. Winner of the Championship was not about a Frenchman, but the Swiss "Emile Duffeck".

Remote-controlled flight art in Kassel to a sport that most effectively meets the hobbyist urge of the passionate engineer, has become the model flight. In Kassel, over 600 modelers met to determine the best in all flight classes at the German Championships. The guided models took greatest interest. A large Matchbox petrol engine and a not much larger remote control device are their only technical equipment. Elegance and ease of movements can be forgotten, that it is only to unmanned machines toy size. Bulgarian parachutist training now but we are already training the paratroopers for the World Championships in Sofia. In the vicinity of Moscow, Czechs, French, and Russians met for a final target jump review. This hard and dangerous sport, jumped in the 2,000 m has become popular among women. The sporting challenge and others, to land as close as possible to the mark. While these images feel somewhat uneasy us, the skydivers claim that hovering between heaven and Earth, is worn by the blazing abundance of a shield, a truly unforgettable experience.
