ALLIES HAVE SCATTERED 14 MILLION LEAFLETS

Allied forces using airplanes, artillery and rockets have spread 14 million leaflets in occupied Kuwait urging Iraqi soldiers to surrender and promising "Arab hospitality" if they do, the Saudi command announced Wednesday night.

The leaflets have been a prominent feature in a psychological-warfare program that also includes Arabic-language radio broadcasts denouncing President Saddam Hussein's government and condemning the Iraqi takeover of Kuwait as a violation of Arab brotherhood.

Defections and surrenders are high priorities for the U.S. and Saudi commands, but there have been no mass defections in the first three weeks of war. - The Washington Post
