Master 1848 - Tape 2 TLS white men standing in short line at security checkpoint outside government or military building in Holland, The Netherlands; TLS/MSs civilian Dutch men receiving military gear and rifles, exiting building and walking past Dutch Army soldiers; MS Dutch man packing duffel bag; tilting MS Dutch man happily donning military beret while wearing light-colored suit; MS Dutch civilian man tossing duffel bag onto truck, climbing aboard; panning TLS military truck driving through city street. VO: "-- European leaders urge strengthening of Western defense forces." (Edit) "Most interesting, the men are given rifles which they'll keep with them. If trouble starts, they'll be ready for combat immediately. Dutch preparedness goes even further. 2000 volunteers are ready for Korea, all English-speaking combat veterans, minimizing training and organization problems."
