Scope & Content: The original release sheet reads: VIETNAM New security controls in Vietnam, anticipating a fresh wave of Vietcong terrorism, Special boats patrol the Mekong River Delta and the city of Saigon tightens its guard against guerrillas. MAO SWIM. Red Chinese films purportedly show mass swim, following the example set by Mao last year during his dip in the Yangtze River. The swimmers, fully clothed, push rafts and chant slogans. TRUCK TRAINEES The deserted Brooklyn Navy Yard is the site of a new training course for high school dropouts from poverty areas. In class, and behind the wheel, they learn the art of the teamster trade, driving everything from tractor-trailers to cabs. AMERICA'S CUP At Newport, both the U.S. entry, "Inrepid," and the Australian challenger, "Dame Pattie," get their final checkups before the upcoming "America's Cup" races, top prize in yachting. FASHIONS Nina Ricci shows Fall and Winter fashions spotlighting "Peru" dresses with a slim silhouette; simply-cut overcoats covering jersey tunic dresses; and a hunting outfit with knickerbocker pants and woolen tights. ELECTRONIC BEDS Tokyo's annual Bed Show displays everything from a "Space Bed" with stereo and TV to a bed that tosses and turns you, to help find the most comfortable position. Also: twin beds which slide into a "double" at the press of a button. INSTANT BANANA PEEL A new powder applied to pavement and wet down with water provides a surface as slick as ice. "Riot-trol" or "Instant Banana Peel" may be an important aid against riots and looting.
