There are miles of films of L.B.J. in action given by television networks and more than 500,000 pictures of the President snapped by ubiquitous White House Photographer Yoichi Okamoto and two assistants. Mrs. Johnson has preserved home movies of him campaigning for Congress in 1937, and there is treasured footage shot by her husband as a World War II Navy lieutenant commander aboard the Flying Fortress Swoose when it crash-landed in Australia in 1942. This plethora of memorabilia and trivia, together with hundreds of official gifts from visiting dignitaries, will be housed in a special Johnson library...

Pictorial values, backgrounds of the Japanese countryside in spring, and the delicate grain which Cinematographer Okamoto had achieved gave his film distinction. Both winners last week used 8 mm. film. Clardy's camera...
...final of the American Zone Davis Cup play. Gerald L. Patterson won first for Australia by tantalizing Zenzo Shimizu with neat chops, then opening up his driving play and net smashes. Pat O'Hara Wood went five lively sets but finally pinned down slippery, stinging Sunao Okamoto. Wood and Patterson wore out Okamoto and Takeichi Harada in three tense sets of doubles. In two superfluous singles matches, Wood put by Shimizu, Patterson toyed with Okamoto...
