...time of 1:01.5, later led off the Aussies' 440-yd. medley relay team that thrashed home in 4:19.4 to lower the world's record by .6 sec. Meanwhile, sturdy, 14-year-old Chris von Saltza of Saratoga, Calif., swimming in a nearby San Jose pool, set three U.S. records in one astounding afternoon with times of 57.9 sec. for the loo-yd. freestyle, 4:54.8 for the 440-yd. freestyle and 5:37.5 for the 500-yd. freestyle...

The stiff breeze slammed Mamie's dressing screen to the ground just off-camera (it was righted on time), tore her flower-laden raft from its moorings (it was recovered on time), tugged at nervous Don Knotts, who managed to keep his footing at the pool's edge, almost lifted Announcer Gene Rayburn off the diving board on the wings of a placard picturing Co-Sponsor Greyhound's mascot.
