Highlights a week of the trial since the Soviet space successes runs the American satellite program into overdrive, the attempt to launch an artificial Moon under the sign of the star banner, was therefore more than a scientific experiment, it was an attempt to reinforce an endangered prestige.
Years of careful preparations were up to a spurt in the U.S. missile centers rose über hetzten over hetzten missile to missile. -The entire world was allowed to be witness as the United States provided their rocket. The small moon on a three-stage Vanguard was assembled in Cape Canaveral. Weighing only two pounds he was carrying the hopes of a nation, and as the launch failed, a world collapsed for the Americans with the vanguard. -On the basis of the newly gained experiences, the missile tests will continue. The conflict: the conflict between Indonesia and the Netherlands was at the same time a further focal point of world attention. With drastic reprisals against the Dutch, the island State emphasizes its nationalist claim on Dutch New Guinea. -Irian, as Indonesians call the impenetrable jungle paradise in the South Pacific, is home to 700,000 Papua suddenly being dragged from their stone age existence in a political decision. -For 300 years, the Papuans of the Dutch colonial administration, which have endeavoured in vain to civilize the life habits of the head-hunters are subject. -The dispute is with Holland, which was rekindled under the Government of President Sukarnos, problems of international significance. With the Communist Asia in the background, the battle cry "Way with the Dutch" appears at least as dangerous slogan. Street: The new road, which will open the mountain massif of Central Formosa, taking unusual was the cameraman. President Chiang Kai Schek, holding a Western stand against the rotchinesische Mainland with his country, accompanied by his wife visited constructing 300 km-long line, which must overcome 26 valleys and Gorges. The road is built with the most primitive means. But the 7th console themselves by pointing out that it occurred the famous great wall of China also not from today to tomorrow.

The disaster: The Lewisham disaster has still the English population. In the infamous London fog crashed into an express train on a standing commuter train. Thereby, a railway bridge was so heavily damaged that she collapsed over the car. Nameless horror spread the news of the number of victims. 200 people were injured. 93 were only dead recovered from the chaotic jumble of debris.

The Homecoming: The homecoming of the Passat, the sister ship of the unforgotten Pamir, was not only for the port of Hamburg home a happy awaited event. After a journey of 138 days, she returned from South America. -Still, it is uncertain whether that will ever stand Passat to a new drive in Lake. Many voices there are many against it. And the Pamir under the sad memory of the fate the joy of reunion with the boy ashore.

The current retort determine rush with while clever and Schussels new contribution to accident prevention plastics and products from the plastic mass more and more of our daily lives. All those things were shown in Amsterdam, which illustrate the inexorable advance of chemistry under the label "cheap and permanently".
Amsterdam a leap for Uerdingen in Germany, where the titanium dioxide Europe's largest factory in operation has been taken. Here, the white titanium dioxide arises from black ilmenite. The system operates fully automatically and was built at a cost of 60 million marks. -Titanium dioxide, Of course Bohemian villages are for the layman, and still has to do all of us with this color pigment. It seems the matte sheen of that "certain something" in the cigarette paper, the white wall tyres, toothpaste, on the kitchen stove and even in the nylon stocking.

The Persians bridge began the traditional festival of Iranian students at the Technische Hochschule in Hannover with a cup of steaming tea and a cool pint wine. Foreign students at German universities accounted for nearly 10%. Only 2000 come from the Iran. But the human contact with the students is as important as the grey theory in the classroom. And on common festivals one builds a bridge to mutual understanding - in this case a "Persian bridge". International women's match Germany's women in Eindhoven won stormy applause. The Meisjes of the Dutch national soccer team - in bright jerseys - were not up to the temperament of our ladies, and already after the first half it was 8: 4. - the Germans proved to be her goal newly occupied as very aggressive, as well as the match was hardly something to make up.
The West lead has been substantially improved in the second half of the game. And at the end it was 16: 7 for our women.

Woe, when they let loose on the World Cup of the catcher in Stuttgart, and the strongest moments, please turn the brief to our cameraman was. But after a few minutes he was in a mental and optical dilemma. He faced the decision namely: where can I see more? In the ring or the ring? Now, the choice is now yours!
