Condition: Very good. 1956. 1956. Very good. - sc This is an 7-1/4 inch high by 8-3/4 inch wide black & white news copy photograph with the text of press release photographed onto the bottom of the image. Such photos were copied by the newspaper from the original which were distributed by the International News Photos. The press release serving as caption for the photograph reads as follows: "N.Y. 386 INP SOUNDPHOTO.UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.11/12/56.Senator Hubert H. Humphrey; Senator William F. Knowland and U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, representing the U.S. at today's opening of the eleventh annual UN Assembly are all smiles as they take their place in the Assembly Hall. Dag Hammarskjold, UN Secretary General in a dramatic overture to the opening session announced he will make personal trips to Egypt and Hungary for active intervention in both critical situations". The photograph is soiled and unevenly cropped along the bottom. The Suez Crisis of 1956 was sparked when Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, creating a feud between himself and British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden. The British, with French and Israeli assistance plotted to take back the Suez Canal, but the plot was foiled by President Dwight D. Eisenhower's threat to sink British currency by withholding loans.That same October, Hungarian students had begun demonstrating against the Communist government. Though Nikita Kruschev had partly repudiated Stalin's oppresessive regime and repression seemed to be easing, the Soviet leader feared he was losing control and sent in his tanks and troops to bloodily crush the Hungarian revolution.
