News in Brief: Red Tank Scrap. "Captured Communist tanks are cut up at Aberdeen proving grounds to provide scrap for future armament, and in the east, the Korean battleground yields a harvest of shell cases and jeeps for any future war effort." Various shots of Communist (some Russian or Soviet-made) tanks, workers disassembling them with blowtorches, etc. Piles of scrap metal. Huge stacks of tires waiting to be reused.
