| Description: | On the first lap of his 20,000 mile South American tour, President Charles De Gaulle of France is acclaimed by the populaces of Venezuela, Colombia. Tight security makes the progress of the French leader because of the known presence on South America of former French-Algerian colonists, many of whom are dedicated to his destruction. De Gaulle, though he will be 74 in November, shows no fear and goes among the people with soldierly unconcern.
