Visit to Leningrad, that is the German motor ship "Nordland" upon his arrival in the port of Leningrad. It brought a number of West German transport experts in the second largest city of the Soviet Union and our cameraman, Schorsch Pahl, which were allowed as the first employee of a West German newsreel in Leningrad to film these days. Here is his report.
Leningrad, the former St. Petersburg, can not deny his past as a residence of the tsars. Intact and unchanged the famous buildings, imperishable monuments of a city that was literally trampled 250 years ago by Peter the great from the ground. You still at the core of the new Leningrad.
But not only the Church of the resurrection or the caryatids at the entrance to the Hermitage are typical of this Russian city. As in Moscow, one is also proud on the subway. Hundred meters deep, you had to move the ducts, because the whole city Get up swampy ground.
And the people of this city, where the revolution began? We met her on the Nevsky prospect, the Boulevard of yesteryear.
Thermos bottles and samovars attract more curious than the rather expensive products of the clothing industry. In the antique shop: Pushkin, Lenin and Marx and then expensive cameras and inexpensive books.
And again you can see women in men's work, what struck By the way only US foreign.
And we noticed something else, in Leningrad, there appear to be little a bike and not a single dog.
As far as our cameraman. Perhaps the first German tourists are attend in this autumn the Soviet city on the Baltic Sea. Triumph of technology a Jupiter rocket in the American Cap Canaveral, but there is none of the usual routine attempts, because the head of this missile are the two first outer space pilots in the United States, two small monkeys.
After a flight in altitudes of 500 km up the tip of the rocket could recovered with the two inmates from the Caribbean Sea.
, The journey into the Weltenraum had good en survived the younger passengers, "Abel" and "Baker".
Only at the big press conference, the two clear signs of stage fright showed an adventurous enterprise is the rugged Atlantic coast of France for several days. The lighthouse by Nividic in war damaged, should be put back into operation. It can be reached only by helicopter.
Day after day, workers in lofty heights on the platform be removed to repair the automatic beacon. In a month to the Tower of Nividic his light send forth again, warning marks on a rocky coast, which passes by 50 thousand ships annually.
The participants in the first "Southwest German flight" showed flying skills and private enterprise.
31 sports machines had to cover a route of about 520 kilometers in rain and haze from Stuttgart.
But they said not only alone well fly but also good aim.
Who was the most skilled with throwing and landing, for which there was a Silver Cup at the end.
According to the pilots who were sailors from passion at this regatta in Kitzingen in the proud ships be however not small enough. This model, an ancient galley, only on the outside was a veteran. With a remote-controlled electric motor in the belly, she was as advanced as the other ship models made by amateurs.
So the technique - how to - does the work the people even when playing. Even if the work, like in this case, is just a hobby, it is better with time. The remote-controlled lawn mower is a step along this road.
There are Of course the Englishman who invented these robots, because they're tired to be slaves of their famous lawn longer.

Sport for ladies Teduccio: this is Italian lawn, and he means the world, so to speak, for these young ladies because what you see here is the female, Italian national football team at the training and at the same time the first of our today's women reserved sports reports.
The Italians prepare themselves By the way international encounters, so the scoring panic.

Warsaw: The artistic gymnastics is a sport which is still wide room, feminine grace even at highest body stress. Warsaw Europe's best at the start were. It's Polina Astakhova, Soviet Union.
On the balance beam for the Polish Natalia Kotonowa.
The Czech Bosáková wowed the crowd with her floor routine. At this competition, the Germans had no chances. Natalia Kotonowa won the European Cup.

Brussels: The woman in the race seat, a sight unfamiliar even in the age of equality,' but not in Belgium, where every year this - Amazone Derby starts started is. Nine rivals go over the two thousand one hundred metre long distance of the Brussels track. At the top Mademoiselle of of cliquennois on "Chalona".
Mademoiselle Cliquennois did not disappoint their fans. She won the Derby and also the respect of her male colleagues of Jockey.

Hamburg: to respect, even the ladies of the Hamburg Hockey Club HTHC - all in white – in the final of the German championship did. In front of over three thousand spectators, it patches their final opponents Uhlenhorster HC already after the first 35 seconds.
Born Greta Feurich scores.
