FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1952 Prof Recalls Role In Psych Warfare The Chinese soldier who stumbled onto a bundle of North Korean 100-won notes while fighting in Korea thought he was rich. But he wasn't. The notes were simply disguised psychological-warfare leaflets issued by the UN's Psychological' Warfare Division, with which Vernon V. Aspaturian, assistant professor of political science, worked for six months recently. These leaflets, kept secret from the' American public, have been one ,of America's most effective means of combating Communist azression in Korea. The professor says the leaflets are circulated among enemy troop 3 in order to "stress the 'false promises of Communism and to describe in detail the misery that Russia has brought to Korea and China." • Local Church Will Install Student Pastor The Rev. Fred P.

By BILL SNYDER Messages Are Small A glance through Professor As paturian's own collection of leaf lets reveals what some of them are like. One pictures a small gir] with outstretched arms crying, "I want Daddy." The caption reads, "While you are fighting needlessly on foreign soil your loved ones need you at home." The_ morale-breaking messages are printed on paper about the size of an ordinary letter envelope. Captions and drawings are on the front to get attention, and me:- sages are on the back of the leaf lets. Because of the highly-secret na ture of the psychological-warfare program, it is not permissable to say much about how the leaflets are prepared, except that they are supervised by native Koreans and Chinese to insure accuracy. Tells Story '- Once the leaflets are finished, they are distributed to enemy troops in Korea—by plane from the rear, and by artillery from the front. Professor Aspaturian tells ari in teresting story illustrating how closely the enemy follows the leaflets. Seven North Koreans found a leaflet which specified that only one could use it to get safe passage across UN line s. While six Koreans hid in a cave, one took the pass to a UN sentry and asked 'dor six more passes. In this case, UN officials said they would make an exception and permit all seven North Ko,- reans to enter on the one pass. But the Koreans remained in the cave. Not until six more tokens were scrapped together did they emerge. )elta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta held its an nual Founder's - Day banquet at the State College Hotel Wednes day night.
