...Minute to Zero (Edmund Grainger; RKO Radio) finds sleepy-eyed Robert Mitchum, as a U.S. infantryman, helping outmaneuver the Reds in Korea in 1950. Colonel Mitchum knocks out a Communist supply route and turns the U.S. defensive into an offensive on the eve of the Inchon invasion. As a result, he is promoted to general and wins the love of Ann Blyth. a cute member of a U.N. health & sanitation team in Korea...

In September, Bell was a member of a team of five TIME Inc. reporters and photographers who covered the Inchon landings.
