Washington AP reports that American Negro troops serving under the United Nations in Korea are not only winning ground but also defeating Communist propaganda by proving the war is not a white man's fight. Analysts note Asia’s forthcoming troops and allied forces will bolster the UN effort, countering attempts to split non Communist nations. The article cites Voice of America highlighting the 24th infantry in Korea and flags forthcoming Asian and Turkish deployments as a strategic reply to Soviet propaganda.
