An ok roundup of news stories from 1946. Heavy emphasis on "NEWS" as diplomat meetings, military schools, and dignitary visits are trumpeted about. This ismt like the other newsreels Ive seen, where you might get some lighter content in the end or something. The lightest thing on this was the relaunch of two ships to civilian duty. The end story was about the Atomic tests on Bikini Atoll, so that was interesting. Tech note, film appears to have gone through some heavy warping, especially at the beginning, making the focus very iffy at times.
