| Description: | Nixon's Triumphal Return Nearly 4,000 crowd the airport to greet Vice President Richard M. Nixon with a hero's ovation on his return from touring the Soviet and Poland. After a speech in which he urges that America show courtesy to Nikita Khrushchev on his coming visit, he proceeds to the White House where he confers with Ike. Scenes show the enthusiastic reception given Mr. Nixon in Poland, where crowds lined the streets to cheer him. Nixon rides in motorcade, standing and waving from open car. A few women from the crowd shake his hands, one gives him flowers (!). Now to America. Airplane pulls up, little girl (VO says it's Julie Nixon) climbs the stairs to greet Mr. and Mrs. Nixon. Nixon speaks at microphones to the crowd (nat sound), Pat Nixon standing behind him; he says people in Europe want peace, says the best part of leaving the U.S. is coming home again. Crowds wave as Nixon pulls up to White House. Nixon talks with President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and they shake hands for cameras. Man behind them might be Ike's brother Dr. Milton Eisenhower (?). | |
