Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Around Aussie & Paris Peace Talks. DESCRIPTION: Thirteen hundred Australian Servicemen return to Sydney from Vietnam. The Commonwealth commitment certainly gives the war more immediate significance to us in Britain - and makes those Paris talks more vital still. From War to Weddings - Pop Star Mark Wynter, a survivor of the recent Boeing crash at London Airport, eventually gets to the Church on time, although a car crash delays him a bit more! A serious fire in Sydney causes the spectacular collapse of a five storey building. And just as hot - the pace of table-tennis champions Kim Chong Tong of Korea and Hasegawa of Japan.
