Free World Pictorial poster, Vol. 4 No. 7 (Chinese poster distributed in Taipei)
A Chinese-language photo sheet of about eight items. The largest is a framed portrait of John Foster Dulles with a notice of his death, and a four-power foreign ministers' conference table; other pictures show the Asian Film Festival in Kuala Lumpur, a university hall opening in Taiwan, Chinese officers at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and a painter couple reunited in Taiwan. The tell is card-stacking: the death notice stresses Dulles's work for the 'free world', and the other items are favourable U.S.-linked news.
