Oldfield Speaks To AliOTC Of Korean Writers 'Barney' States Fifteen Million Have 'Interest' Nearly 15 million citizens in the United States are personally interested in what the 60,000 American men fighting with the United Nations forces are doing, Carolina students were told yes terday. - Lt. Col. Barney Oldfield, dir ector of the USAF public rela tions headquarters in Washing ton, told a group of Air ROTC cadets and journalism students that the task of the public re lations man ' is to "keep those millions informed." The Colonel, who is no rela tion to the famed automobile racer, explained that the enor mous number of interested peopie is based on the approximation that 250 Americans per soldier are concerned with him personal ly, or know him by his name or by his home town. It is the task of public rela tions to keep that huge American audience aware of what "their "boys" are accomplishing, how they are living and how they feel about the particular situations they find themselves thrust into, the Colonel said. "We must do all we can to keep our countrymen from re laxing into their carpet slippers, holding a tall glass and feeling that the front lawn can be mow ed just as; well next week as t day," he warned. He is slated to head Air Force public relations in Europe in January. Oldfield described the work of the 15-man crew comprising the public relations staff in Korea at the beginning of the war last June. He opened his 40-minute talk with a tape recording made with the war correspondents now working in Korea.
