Huge fold-out wall-size world news map, highlighting major events of the week June 29 to July 5, 1951, linked to their geographical locations.

• It measures a very generous 119.5 x 90 cm [47" x 35½"] and was published July 9, 1951 by News of the Week, Inc., Chicago, Illinois.



• Among the events covered are the increase in the size of Allied armed forces in Europe, an atomic bomb test in Nevada, artillery duels in the Korean peninsula, the ouster of the pro-Communist government of San Marino, the continuing suspension of Iranian oil exports, and the construction of new defense plants in the U.S.



• The map also locates Anatahan Island in the Marianas, where "hold-out" World War II Japanese troops were being removed. And a table of statistics highlights the declining death rate, made possible by "great advances in the medicine and public health." A text block headlined "Pacific Territorial Administration Changes" notes the islands that had recently come under civilian control.
