In the autumn of 1953, King Paul I and Queen Frederica of Greece toured the United States as guests of the President, with a Los Angeles stop that included a studio tour and meetings with Hollywood stars. This pinback was made for the press covering that visit, and it is a nice piece of Cold War era royal-visit and newsroom history for press-badge, royalty or Los Angeles collectors.
