Scope & Content: The original release sheet reads: VIET ELECTIONS The South Vietnamese election turns out almost five million voters. The military ticket of President Thieu and Vice-President Ky wins while charges of fraud are filed by defeated candidates. U. S. Observers pronounce the election as fair and honest. DRIVING SWITCH Sweden switches from left to right-hand-side-of-the-road driving in a smooth changeover. Signs, blinkers, and even some busses had to be scrapped but expected chaos failed to materialize. BERLIN WALL East Germans spray white paint on the Berlin Wall to provide a bright nighttime background, discouraging further escape attempts. Some 250 have fled in the past six years. JAP NAVY A Japanese training squadron visits Newport Naval Base in Rhode Island, for a three-day courtesy call. It's part of their four-month at-sea program with stops in the U. S. and Canada. FASHIONS Pierre Cardin shows his winter fashions at Versailles. Coats are of thick, woven wool; evening dresses show a lot of sequins; and there's even a space-age cocktail dress! ELECTRIC SITAR Recording star Vincent Ball demonstrates his new instrument, an electric sitar. Unlike the ancient Indian sitar, it's much easier to play but gets the "Eastern" sound that's sparking pop music today.
