Original camera footage edited for broadcast for KNTV San Jose Channel 11 news. The accompanying script, read by the newscaster, provides details of the stories and completes the broadcast. Reel 1: Segment 1 (silent): Man in military uniform touring the San Jose Civil Defense Headquarters Control Center with a contingent, examining gas mask. Story reads, "The Chief of Israel's Civil Defense was in San Jose this morning, inspecting our facilities for new ideas in civil defense. Colonel Shmuel Goder is on a two-week trip of the U.S., inspecting civil defense facilities with an eye to improving Israeli defense. His emphasis this morning was on protection from conventional bomb blast. 'The Egyptians don't have the atomic bomb...yet,' he said. Colonel Goder, who commanded an infantry brigade in the 1956 Sinai campaign against Egypt said all public buildings in Israel are required to have bomb shelters. He has the authority to order new construction halted unless bomb shelters are incorporated in building plans. The colonel was accompanied by his wife, the Israeli consul from Los Angeles, and federal and state civil defense officials. The tour is sponsored by the State Department."

Five journalism students at San Jose State have placed their college among the nation's leaders in the student journalism field. Twenty awards were offered nationwide. Five students from the Spartan Daily, the student newspaper, placed in competition or won honorable mention. Journalism Department Head Dr. Dwight Bental presented one of the students, Jeff Stockton, with a Hearst Award. Stockton uncovered a story of red tape which blocked n offer by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company to resurface the college's track. Students have been entering the Hearst Contents monthly. Other winners were Dave Provan with a fifth place award, Rick Skinner with a sixth place news award, and two other honorable mention awards for Susan Kang, and Richard Thaw." Segment 3 (silent): Shots of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors meeting. Related story, "Help for the chronically unemployed dominated today's Board of Supervisors meeting. The Board was prepared to withdraw an application for federal funds to finance a welfare department retraining program this morning, but halted the action when they were informed they got the money, and more." Segment 4 (silent): Baseball game at Buck Shaw Stadium. Story reads, "At Buck Shaw Stadium this afternoon, a crowd of 9450 watched the San Francisco Giants (minus Willie Mays, who's out with a bruised knee) defeat the Santa Clara Broncos 7-6 in a thriller that lasted 10 innings...the Broncos drew first blood as they jumped on Giant starter Bill Henry for 4 big runs in the 1st...the key blow in the inning was 1st baseman Bob Spence's two run shot over the right field fence...the big first sacker, picked on a Henry fast ball, and road it 350 feet into the practice football field, much to the delight of the fans, and his Bronco team mates...left hander Jan Dukes shut out the big team for 4 innings, with the help of some fine Santa Clara defensive plays, but the Giants finally got to him for a run in the 5th... [play by play continues in the script]" Reel 2: Segment 1 (silent + sound): Student protest outside Stanford University quad. Posters reading "Stop CIA Contracts at Stanford," "Liberate the Faculty," "No CIA at Stanford," "Come to the inner city and join the CIA," "No more classified contracts." Sound interview with spokesperson explaining their position against classified research, and the response by administration (Mr. Heffner). Story reads, "Today's Stanford Daily touched off a small demonstration this afternoon in front of the Provost's Office at the Palo Alto campus. About 20 to 30 students, some carrying placards, gathered at the University official's office to protest an alleged classified contract between the school's Electrical Engineering Department and the United States' Central Intelligence Agency. The student body was informed of the 'contract' in this morning's issue of the campus newspaper. The Graduate Coordinating Committee, the group which organized today's protest, claims that the university, by participating in such a contract, is engaging in covert or clandestine activity. We asked committee co-chairman Robert Hass about these charges.." Reel 3: Segment 1 (sound): Interviews with Joseph Pace and Virginia Shaffer. Pace complains about a smear campaign, but Shaffer claims she is referencing news clippings on his voting record and how can his established voting record be a smear campaign? Story reads, "It seems as though the never-ending feud between San Jose Councilwoman Virginia Shaffer and Mayor Joseph Pace has worked its way up to state-wide political circles. Pace bitterly assailed Mrs. Shaffer yesterday at the convention of the United Republicans of California, saying that she was fomenting a smear campaign against him. His remarks followed charges from the convention floor that he was a liberal with socialistic tendencies. Pace said that the information on which those charges were based came from Mrs. Shaffer...Pace, who appeared in fighting gear is a candidate for the GOP State Controller nomination. He received a duel endorsement along with another candidate Robert McDavid of Altadena. But only after a second ballot. We asked Mrs. Shaffer if there was any truth to the charges leveled by Pace..." Segment 2 (silent): San Jose City Council meeting in progress. "Tonight, at San Jose's City Council meeting, Pace brought his political campaign for State Controller into city business. The mayor announced he might oppose a suggestion by City Manager A. P. 'Dutch' Hamann to raise city taxes. Dr. Pace said he didn't see how people could vote for a property tax hike in view of the current assessor scandals...and in a prepared statement...the mayor said his opponent -- incumbent controller -- Alan Cranston hasn't mentioned the tax scandals. On that issue -- Councilwoman Shaffer took on city manager Hamann saying the council and administration had promised no tax hike in the last campaign for city bond issues. The council reached no decision on the tax proposal." 5/2/66 A-D 458; 5/2/66 E 458 AWARDS; 5/2/66 F 458
