102. Info: OAFE pls discuss at once with Gen MacArthur possibility of his inviting Romulo, as Pres of UNGA, to visit hdqrs in Korea of UN forces resisting aggression. Dept believes such visit wld be of material aid in continuing effort to emphasize UN character of Korean action. It is suggested Romulo might make broadcasts from Korea over VOA which wld have considerable propaganda value as well as bolstering morale of Koreans. Defense informed.
