# MacArthur's portrait: listen to the news at 9 every night on 950 kilocycles

A Korean-language leaflet whose sheet is filled by a halftone portrait of General Douglas MacArthur in uniform and cap. Four lines beneath ask readers to be sure to listen every night at nine o'clock, on 950 kilocycles, to the 'accurate news' broadcast from MacArthur's headquarters. The tell: the commander's face is the only argument offered for the broadcast's accuracy, a transfer of his authority onto the news.
