our mind  the kind of an organization we will have when we buying that up heart and soul and in  material ways with our friends across the sea films captured by Allied intelligence in Korea  give the west a close look at Russia's newest planes this is a copy of America's b-29  Russia's Jets include these Jack's the Reds first jet fighter probably based on  German models a hundred miles faster than the yaks are two newer models the lavochkin and  the mig-15 which speeds up to 650 miles an hour only 10 miles behind America's fastest the Sabre  Russia's Jets get special attention from airport telligence as more and more of them blown perhaps  by Chinese Reds appear in battle over Korea our russian-made Jets behave in battle with  American planes can be seen as Navy Panthers take off on missions over North Korea gunsight cameras  record for the first time in history a battle between jet fighters as the Panthers go after  two russian-built mig-15 one rich jet his hip the other streets for home then the first is hit again man goes down over the  yellow river from 6,000 feet in battle over a mile high in Korea the Navy's carrier-based  jet fighter rules it's tremendous value now from fields in South Korea Air Force  f-86 sabres take off to search for the enemy their cameras synchronized  to shoot automatically whenever the gunfire recorded jewel with the Russian  MIG jet the sabres bullets find their mark goes down in babe American jet planes and jet  pilot fast combat tests with flying colors overlooking the city of Washington is the  legislative center of American life the US Capitol as our country faces important challenges  at home and abroad the new 82nd Congress convenes it shows many changes among both Republicans  and Democrats new faces include Democratic senators Clements of Kentucky Smith of North  Carolina Hennings of Missouri Pastore Rhode Island Monroe knee Oklahoma Smathers of Florida  Senator Russell long of Louisiana and veteran Tom Connolly of Texas Senate Foreign Relations  chairman ernest w mcfarland of arizona is the new Senate Majority Leader Senator Lyndon Johnson  of Texas is Senate quit house leaders are majority leader McCormick of

and  wary of nebraska now lead a party which has cut the Democratic Senate Majority to only two votes  the workshop of these men the Capitol building has since Washington laid the cornerstone in 1793 been  continually rebuilt and repaired to meet the needs of a growing democracy last year Congress moved  out for the latest repairs the work is complete as the 82nd Congress convenes in 1951 Speaker  of the House Sam Rayburn and Republican House Leader joseph w martin opened the new session  Rayburn whom fellow congressmen of both parties holdin highest esteem takes offices speaker  now in his 20th term in Congress Mr Rayburn enters his sixth term as Speaker of the House  breaking the record set in 1825 by henry clay with the reinforced Republican  minority changing the voting line up the house chamber itself also  has a new look but the famous portrait of Washington and the Webster plaque  familiar the tourists are still there President Truman makes his first appearance in  the completely refurbished chamber of the house before a joint session of Congress he delivers his  annual State of the Union address the president asks for strength and unity at home and abroad  as he speaks from the rebuilt stand noticeably different from the great white marble rostrum from  which he last addressed Congress it's brave new surroundings the 82nd Congress buckles down to  strengthen the nation under law for peace or war a traditional treat for the physics students  at the University of Toronto is Professor John Saturdays annual lecture on the properties of  liquid air professor satterlee 70 head of the university's physics department is near retirement  but his science circus famed throughout Canada is as exciting as ever here's the subject  air turned into liquid at a 300 below zero temperature that's mighty cool but the good  professor doesn't mind at all he's been doing this sort of thing for a generation and he's  still at least as spry as any of his pupils the demonstration begins innocently enough  with the professor dropping a few odd objects of banana an egg and so on into the super  frigid liquid air he prefers fresh eggs now a couple of daffodils from the professor's  garden followed by a chunk of rubber tubing though the accent is on fun there's a  straightforward scientific reason for each move this contraption is designed to  show the pressure possibilities of liquid air when the liquid air grows warmer and  becomes a gas again it expands rapidly the fact which delights the professor and  which he doesn't want his class to forget now the liquid air is expanding  and blowing up the balloon now let's see those daffodils and here's  the rubber to shatters like glass very interesting professor but what about that balloon when the professor turns to pyrotechnics  things really get one an open jar of liquid air gradually becomes almost  pure oxygen and highly inflammable this rugged playing professor of  physics as John satellite plays it but Toronto students generally  remember what he's taught them powering tall in oregon's cascade  range 55 miles east of Portland is fabulous Mount Hood two miles high  it's great country for skiers if they can get up there for clearing the  roads to the summit is a tremendous job but vacationers can now board a bus for the  Mount Hood skiers paradise with comfortable seats and plenty of room the bus is like almost  any other bus except for one small detail it flies through the air with the greatest of  ease unless you insist on walk you take the ski way the longest and largest aerial tramway  in the world to the top two years of work went into building this timber line trolley on a web  of cables it climbs 2,100 feet in 10 minutes hey at the summer to the passengers disembark at  two-million-dollar Timberline Lodge doke by the federal government in 1937 some are experienced  skiers and some are just getting their ski legs its ears away down Mount Hood snowy slopes thanks to the ski way here's one place where it  takes longer to come down than to go up at Cypress Gardens Florida it's the  unbelievable speedboat steeplechase the only race in the world that takes place  on land on sea and in the air the tiny 13 foot boats have a 12 mile course  ahead it looks as if they'll never make it as the outrageous outboards  take off like Mexican jumping beans now through the tall timber hey most of the drivers dodge the  Cypress but others try climbing them it's into the air for forty to sixty  feet as the outboards take to the hurdles the winner cuts the finish  tape 70 feet up on shore for anything else no yes there is something  else would you request the band to play Dixie for me it's see mr. president fixes her somehow  I think it will be a fitting thing at this time in this place hello citizens the president is  very tired and he'd like to be excused until tomorrow yes at the band play Dixon what we mean  by that you know the jealous Gordon Pennsylvania seem to like it what up somebody fine-tune at  Gettysburg cemetery the following day November 19 1863 the audience listening two hours of patriotic  orations finally President Lincoln was called for four score and seven years ago our fathers brought  forth on this continent a new nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that  all men are created equal now we are engaged in a great Civil War testing whether that nation  or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure we are met on a great battlefield  of that war we have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those  who here gave their lives that that nation might live it is altogether fitting and proper that we  should do this but in a larger sense we cannot dedicate we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow  this ground the brave men living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above  our poor power to add or detract the world will little note nor long remember what we say here  but it can never forget what they did here it is for us the living rather to be dedicated here  to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced it is rather  for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored  dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave the last full measure of  devotion that we here highly resolve that these it shall not have died in vain that this nation  under God shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people by the people  and for the people shall not end of the earth I
