Week of June 1, 1957
Nikita S. Khrushchev
reigning boss of world
Communism makes his debut on United States television.
He predicted the grandchildren of his millions of American
viewers “will live under Socialism,” but said the Soviet
Union does not want to impose its type of Socialism on
anybody.
It’s reported that Algerian rebels have massacred 300 men
and boys, adding to the difficulty of the formation of a new
government there.
President Eisenhower turns down any idea of answering Mr. Khrushchev and his
remarks on American television.
Sports - New York’s hopes for keeping the Dodgers and Giants just grew
dimmer. A survey by the New York Post shows that members of the Board of
Estimate, who will have to pass on any financial measures to build stadiums, are
overwhelmingly opposed to granting subsidies to keep the two clubs. Mayor
Wagner said the city couldn’t subsidize the baseball teams because every kind of
business would demand things.
Sports - Shortstop Gil McDouglad drives in five Yankee runs with two homers
and a single in consecutive times at bat as New York thumps the Indians 13-3. In
a third inning, a foul tip breaks a bar in Catcher Yogi Berra’s mask, and the
Yankee star’s nose was fractured.
Arthur Miller, husband of Marilyn Monroe is found guilty of contempt of Congress
for refusing to answer questions about a Communist meeting he attended in
1947. Miller had declined to name persons who attended a 1947 meeting of
Communist Party writers. He freely admitted attending the meeting himself, but
said he could not name the others on grounds of conscience. A judge ruled that
questions put to Miler by the House Committee on un-American Activities were
pertinent to its investigation of passport abuses.
