Florida plays host to Winston Churchill on his arrival in Miami to spend a well-earned six weeks vacation.
The former Prime Minister is at the home of a friend in Miami Beach,
where Gulf Stream breezes bring out butterflies, a far cry from London Farms.

Mr. Churchill is host to a press conference during which he warned against too rapid a drift toward world collectivism.

America again welcomes a great leader and statesman.

Warsaw, the first major city to fall prey to the Nazi blitz, counts its wounds,
and after six ghastly years digs out of the havoc caused by the Lefava, which put the torch to a defenseless city.
The task of rebuilding this great capital is a staggering one.
["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
But little by little, life returns to the shattered city.

These children have known little but the din and brutality of war,
but to a brave people, existence must go on, and they face it with smiling courage.

It looks like all of Uncle Sammy's favorite nephews are trying to storm the famous Rainbow Club in London.
The most famous of all Red Cross clubs, one that entertained 18 million Joes,
receives a distinguished guest, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
The big push is on tonight because this favorite wartime rendezvous is closing for good.
The lucky ones inside hear from Mrs. Roosevelt.
This is a sad day for many because partings are always sad, but it is a joyous day, too,
that the war is over and the men who came here for the war can now go home.

It's every man for himself tonight and traffic is really thick.
The doors are closed and those on the inside won't get out,
and those on the outside want to get in.
Looks like a problem for the General Staff.

Named by heads of all faiths as Chairman of the National Brotherhood Week,
former Governor Stassen pleads for tolerance.
It should be repeated time and again that anyone who lights the flames of bigotry
or intolerance in America lights a fire underneath his own home.
As I see it, every American should reflect anew upon his dual obligation.
First, to treat our fellow men as brothers in the deepest ethical sense.
Second, and equally important, to so conduct our own individual lives
that others will want to treat us as brothers.

A timely reminder by the U.S. Mint that the March of Dimes
to aid the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is in full swing.
In Philadelphia, part of the national total of 2,700,000,000 new
Franklin D. Roosevelt dimes is being struck.
Nellie Taylor Ross, Director of the Mint, inspects the new money
and the original models inspired by the Foundation's founder.
Down in Texas, another March of Dimes enthusiast, Basil O'Connor,
President of the Infantile Foundation, sees the campaign off to a fast start
in a town bearing the appropriate name of Dimebox.
Its 300 town folk gave 100 percent.
Mr. O'Connor shares Texas hospitality with Mildred Kociric, a polio victim.
In the nation's capital, the annual mile of dimes is opened by the First Lady
and her daughter, Margaret, who asks you to help a worthy cause.
I urge you to make your contribution to the Infantile Paralysis Fund.
Here is a mile of dimes, or to the March of Dimes, or in any way that you can,
so that this humanitarian activity can continue.
Yes, it's strictly on the level.
Mariana, which is what this donkey's name is, actually shares this house
in Revere, Massachusetts, with Miss Zulalian, and shares the food as well.
Get a load of those stable manners.
Some people wear carnations, but Mariana uses them for dessert.
Mariana will go for the donkey's serenade, for Mariana's braids are bonny.
But down there in Miami, on the other hand, the zoo's tiger mama
contentedly licks a paw, and well, she might, for she has just produced three cubs,
a rare feat in captivity.
And here's the 650-pound pup who is getting congratulations
from his trainer, Roman Prosky.
He's in another cage because he might nibble on these little fellas.
Anyway, they don't want any truck with him.
Off to a very nice start.
It's a shame their eyes aren't open yet.
Let's pop again to stick out his chest and take another bow.
Leather pushers in New York City Golden Gloves Bounce come out with some fights
that really sparkle.
Oh, you think it's tough, mister.
Well, it really is tough, this slugging match with Salvatore Savarino
and Arthur Essenfield pulling no punches.
And if you think different, here comes the old one too.
Now, just a minute, there's the two, and it's curtains for Arthur.
But wait till you see this pair.
You better wait too, son.
You're just starting.
And from where we sit, it looks like it's a knocked-down drag-out battle
with plenty of the old give-and-take.
Well I see chewing gum is back.
Don't swallow that cut, sister.
But the war's on again, and from here on out, it's for crazy.
Look ma, both hands, and they hurt.
What are you worrying about?
These guys aren't mad at each other, but they certainly can fight.
Oh, better luck next time, slugger.
