The original release sheet reads:

 TORNADO RIPS MIAMI: A night of terror and calamity in Miami, as a rare tornado smashes through the city, un-roofing houses, overturning autos, and hurling telephone poles like monstrous arrows. Casualty lists top one hundred, and property damage exceeds $1 million.

 COMMEMORATE ANTI-RED UPRISING: West Berlin and all West Germany join in observances commemorating the 1953 anti-Red uprisings in East Germany. In Berlin, Mayor Willy Brandt leads wreath-laying ceremonies. Library films show the day of desperate and gallant revolt when civilian workers fought Red Army tanks and guns.

 CHINESE ART TREASURES: Some of the world's most priceless art objects, national treasures of Free China, are removed from the air conditioned bomb-proof cave on Formosa where they have come to rest after decades of flight from China's stormy recent history.

 Warning! "THE MUMMY" is HERE: An eerie herald of a new screen horror classic, Universal-International's "THE MUMMY" arrives in New York to begin a national tour. THE MUMMY, insured for a million dollars with Lloyd's, is escorted by exotic Norma Maria - who bears a striking family resemblance to an ancient Egyptian Queen - and by one of Britain's top Egyptologists.

 HEEL AND TOE CHAMPIONSHIP: In Baltimore, half a hundred heel and toers hoof it down the pike in the National AAU 20 kilometer Walking Championship. The winner strides across the line at an average 8 m.p.h., while a winded observer rides!

 JUNIOR WATER-SKIING CHAMPS: At celebrated Cypress Gardens, Florida, Junior Water-Skiing Championships, with 15 year-old Barbara Cooper and 12-year-old Perry Boswell making record jumps to become pace setters for aquatic American youth.
