News in Brief: Los Angeles, Stars Leave For Overseas. Sixty five top screen stars and musicians leave for isolated service outposts in Greenland, Alaska, the Caribbean and Korea, to bring a touch of home and holiday cheer to G.I.'s. People are served food, sort of cafeteria-style, at a farewell meal for those who will be going overseas. VS these people (apparently some are celebrities and probably many are actors/actresses) eating at banquet tables. Actress Beverly Michaels smiles for the camera. George Murphy (?), apparently the head of the Hollywood Coordinating Committee, chats with two other men. People mill about on tarmac; planes have banners on them, one saying Korea, another Newfoundland/Greenland. Some of the performers wave as they prepare to board the airplanes.
