Headline Ingemar Johansson Holds Press Conference at UN Headquarters

Caption Description Ingemar Johansson, world heavyweight boxing champion, today met with accredited members of the Press at United Nations Headquarters and discussed his forthcoming visit to the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) in the Gaza Strip. Among those attending the conference at Headquarters was Dr. Ralph J. Bunch, UN Under-Secretary for Special Political Affairs, who presented Mr. Johansson with UNEF beret. Here, Dr. Bunche (left) looks on smilingly as titleholder Johansson tries the beret for size.

The 27-year-old titleholder, who was born in Goteborg, Sweden, will visit UNEF for approximately nine days, beginning 4 March. He will give boxing exhibitions for the troops of seven countries - Brazil, Canada, Denmark, India, Norway, Yugoslavia and his native Sweden - which have contingents serving with UNEF.
