The top of the front page has a three column headline:  "TUT-ANKH-AMEN'S INNER TOMB IS OPENED, REVEALING UNDREAMED OF SPLENDORS, STILL UNTOUCHED AFTER 3,400 YEARS"  with subheads and related illustration. (see) More on page 2 with another large illustration. Lengthy text. First report coverage on the opening of King Tut's tomb in Luxor, Egypt.
