Troops to Send
Airgraph Mail

LONDON. June A. R) -
United States Army head
quarters announced day
that American troops in the
British Isles now will be able
to send airgraph letters to
relatives and friends ut homo.
The system is similar to that
used by British troops in In
dia and the Middle East. The
letters are written on special
ly prepared blanks and photo
graphed by a micro-f filming
process. The films are taken
by bomber to Washington, en-
larged by the War Depart
ment and forwarded to the
addresses. The use of such let
tiers is not mandatory, but it
would save hundreds of tons
of air mail.
