Styles for Surf & Sand; Young women show the new style bathing suit with a built-in girdle at Mamaroneck, New York. They run down the stairs wearing designer bathing suits and halt at the edge of the waterless pool. As the girls stand in the sun, a close-up is shown of one girl's shirred hip bathing suit and another's with a winged bra. A girl puts on a hat and sunglasses while playing scrabble, and another models her "see-side" bathing suit, where lacing along the sides reveals skin.
News in Brief; The first carrier take-off and landing tests for the Douglas F4D Skyray. We see it do both successfully as well as seeing it in the distance flying among clouds.
