Burma-American Pictorial News (Burmese-language poster distributed in Burma)
A Burmese-language photo poster under a red headline, 'Burma-American' pictorial news. Eight captioned photographs show an American vice-presidential visit as the captions describe it: greetings and a temple visit, a hospital ward, a women's gathering, gift presentations, children in a crowd and a wreath-laying. The tell is transfer: the visitor's reception and gifts carry goodwill to the U.S.-Burma relationship.
