Summary
The USSR, full of confidence over the success of Sputnik, starts a political offensive - championing Syria against an alleged Turkish threat. Pathe News seeks Labour and Tory views on the crisis - from Mr Morgan Phillips and Sir Robert Boothby. Prime Minister Harold MacMillan returns from his conference with President - and meanwhile another question mark arises - what is happening in the Kremlin? Is Kruschev, by taking the Defence Ministry from Russia’s most popular figure, Marshal Zhukov, attempting the last steps to supreme power?
