Harry had a great sense of humor. He's probably the last U.S. President who didn't give a flip about polls; and acted on his convictions as a public servant.

The sequence from 1:21 to 1:38 shows Canadian prime minister Louis Saint-Laurent and Parliament in Ottawa.

A better projector would be a start. Some sound OK. Is the film spliced together properly? Or maybe film has shrunk? Occasionally the exciter lamp is detecting the sprockets as well as the soundtrack. Other times the exciter lamp just reading the sprockets. A pity.

I assume this was damaged in storage. It's a shame when these old newsreels are lost.

This is great nostalgia. It evokes my time in Berlin and Taipei.
