The Voice of America's news to Korea. The Voice of America broadcasts in 46 languages. Since the attention of the world was concentrated on Korea, where 16 countries are fighting the Communist aggressors, they have taken a greater interest in Korea. The Voice of America broadcast is making known to the world their brave appearance and the courage of the Korean people. [Captions:] A VOA reporter on the Korean front records the voices of Thai soldiers fighting the Communist army to tell the world of their heroic struggle. Three editors of the VOA Korean-language section turn the latest world news from the teletype into scripts for Korean broadcast. Educational material on American industry is sometimes used in broadcasts to Korea; a VOA announcer interviews the education director of an international women's garment workers' union. A New York police investigator is interviewed on air with an announcer; the broadcast is used in VOA's Korea-directed programs. A Korean newspaper editor visiting the U.S. chats with the head of the Korean section and an announcer and commentator. An announcer meets Korean delegates at the UN, left to right: a consul, the permanent UN representative, and the foreign minister and chief delegate (Byun Yung-tai). This family in Korea, tens of thousands of miles from the VOA station, shows interest in world affairs by hearing the latest news by radio. VOA is broadcast daily through relay stations in Korea at these times: 7:30-8:00 a.m. news, music, current affairs; 11:30-11:45 a.m. radio-school programme; 7:30-8:00 p.m. world news and commentary.
