Viva Ike: President's Peace Tour a Triumph Huge tickertape parade (VO says it's in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Painting of U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower on a building, with the words "We Like Ike" and an American flag flying. Absolutely huge crowds watch long motorcade pass; Ike and another man (Brazil's president Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira) ride in open car, Ike waving. Exceedingly warm welcome, the ticker tape just showering down. (VO says Ike is now in Buenos Aires, Argentina.) Another big welcome, Ike waving as motorcade passes people waving in crowd. Ike speaks at microphones to gathering of people (perhaps in a governmental building). Cameras and lights. Ike attends wreath-laying ceremony. Eisenhower boards plane, crowds and photographers around. Airport control tower, U.S. and Argentine (?) flags evident. Plane taxis.
