Campaign in U.S

New York, July 23.

The ^V for Victory" campaign made its first appearance in the skies over the United States yesterday when six giant American Alt Lines flagships roared over New York in a V formation making an impressive sight as they flaunted the symbol of victory for the Democracies across the length of Manhattan, then Brooklyn, and Queens Boroughs. Tt was intended not only as a tribute to the British victory campaign but as a spur to the campaign for Collection of aluminium for national defence.

A Minneapolis radio station has adopted the Morse code V signal of three dots and a dash for opening and closing news broadcasts.—Reuter.
