| Description: | "Japan Riots Mount in Fury. A grim foretaste of the reception planned by Japanese leftists for the President.

Uniformed men watch as crowds of demonstrators stand and dance about, carrying banners (on one, "U2" is visible), wearing headbands. MS - Japanese Army sitting on top of their trucks. Little Japanese girl waves American flag and Japanese flag. Banner: "Don't Come to Japan Eisenhower". MCUS - Hagerty and posted body guards disembarking the plane. Photographers snap away as men get into car. Protestors run along road, then angry mob surrounds car. View of Hagerty through window, looking serious. MS - A Marine helicopter coming in to rescue Mr. Hagerty. MS - Japan's Army escorts Mr. Hagerty to the helicopter. MS - Helicopter is air borne. | |
