| Description: | News in Brief: Body Armor Shown. The quartermaster corps displays new light-weight body armor for the infantry. Similar to protective garb now worn by U.S. Marines in Korean War combat, it's expected to save countless lives. (Too funny - the newsreel is playing light "fashion show" music on the audio track.) One man helps a soldier suit up. The model turns for the camera. | |
