News in Brief: Toy Fair in New York. Toy fair in New York City showcases the latest in fun and games for the small fry, including the 'tumble tub' and a mechanical pitcher for young Mickey Mantles. Little girls sits, spinning, in a hollowed-out disc (the tumble tub). Then two kids sit in it and an adult spins them round. A real kangaroo is at the toy display (not sure why). Boy and girl play game called "Test Driver" (and narrator Ed Herlihy of course has to comment about "women drivers"). Boy attempts to bat balls pitched to him by machine.
