14 — ANAHEIM (Cal.) BULLETIN Thursday, May 20, 1954 Views of The World as AUF WIEDERSEHEN—Members of the 1954 German-Austrian Himalaya Expedition got a send-off by friends when their train left Munich, Germany, for Genoa, Italy. There the mountain climbers boarded a ship for Pakistan. The targets of the expedition are several 22,000-foot-high mountains in the still unexplored Karakorum region of Pakistan, including Mt. Rakaposhi. PROUD MONARCH—A sincere warm feeling of joy is expressed on the face of Queen Elizabeth II as she acknowledges the tumultuous greeting accorded her on her return to London from a six-month around-the-world tour of the British Empire. Her return to England was witnessed by more persons than had ever seen any other event in British history—including the Coronation. Seated beside the queen is the Duke of Edinburgh. FIRST AMERICAN JET LINER—The United State's first entry in the jet airliner field rolls off the assembly line at Renton, Wash. The huge four jet liner will cruise at 550 m.p.h. Used as commercial transport, the plane is expected to make transcontinental flights in less than five hours. The plane was christened Stratotanker and Stratoliner Mrs. William E. Boeing. POINT OF ORDER—Army Counselor John G. Adams (right), who refused to tell Army-McCarthy investigators about the Jan. 21 "top level" conference in the Justice Department, waves a copy of a letter from President Eisenhower as basis for his refusal. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy (left) leafs through the letter, which ordered government employees not to tell investigators anything about conversations within the executive branch. McCarthy asserted the directive had drawn an "iron curtain" around the hearings. NOT FOR US—Georgia's Atty. Gen. Eugene Cook (above) maintains the position that the United States Supreme Court decision outlawing school segregation "does not apply to Georgia." He also contacted 17 other states and was told by each attorney general they would definitely not intervene in segregation without further litigation. IN A WHIRL—All work and no play make anyone dull. Pvt. Philippe DeConinck, 21, a French soldier in Berlin, spares time in a gym. He straps his feet to the frame, grabs the handles and spins around the room in a large metal hoop. If it tips over, sawdust on the floor makes a happy landing. OVER THE COLOSSEUM—When Fabio Peteriva, the "Spider of the Dolomites," announced he would climb the 2000-year-old Colosseum in Rome, a mob of curiosity seekers gathered to watch him, left. Peteriva's ascent climaxed a convention of 50,000 pine veterans in The Eternal City. A switch of rules by Italian officials allowed him to climb the walls by using a filed-down pick-ax. After the conquest of Mount Everest, about all that remained to be conquered in this manner was the Colosseum. JUST WENT NATURAL—Actress Jan Sterling's part in The High and the Mighty called for a dissipated-looking face. Jan admits that she didn't use special makeup (left). She just didn't use any. Jan is shown (right) made up for more glamorous role. ALL HANDS RESCUED!—This air view shows the wreckage of Gar Wood's twin-hull experimental ship, Venturi, which broke up in heavy seas off the coast of Florida. All nine persons aboard the ship, including the 73-year-old Wood, were rescued. The 188-foot craft was launched in 1944. Lens of the News Camera FOR FUTURE YEARS—Sitting on the steps of the United States Supreme Court Building in Washington, MPs. Nettie Hunt seems to be trying to explain to her 3½-year-old daughter, Nikie, the meaning of the high tribunal's decision that segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. Though she's probably too young to understand now, Nikie will undoubtedly see concrete results of the historic ruling by the time she's ready for school. ENTHUSIASTIC DISCENT—This was the scene in San Francisco as another of the city's famed cable car lines was replaced by gas buses. Here, cable car enthusiasts swamp the "Hyde-st grip" as carmen try to get "Old No. 51" into the barn for the last time. Police finally broke up the demonstrators and the line became history, but only after a battle. MOVING DAY—Fishermen used huge nets to scoop up fish in the gardens at Versailles, France, because there were too many of them. They were transferred to a place where fish were needed. TROOPS RIDE 'BELOW' IN NEW ASSAULT CRAFT—A new amphibian assault vehicle, the LVTP-5 (above), is tested for the Marine Corps off Camp Lejeune, N. C. The vehicle is a modern version of the LVT (Landing Vehicle Tracked) combining the amphibious qualities of the LVT with improved speed range and maneuverability. Assault troops ride inside. It is now in production for the Marine Corps. (Defense Department photo from NEA Telephoto.)
