Ing how far the idea has gone TO
date:

with a circulation of more than
ninety million will carry the
American flag on their July
covers.
The United States Flag Associa-
ton Is acting rs joint sponsor
with the National Publishers As

Twelve hundred of the leading
department stores In the United
States viii devote window to

The United States Flag Associa-
ton il planning an exhibition of
the covers In New York, where a
committee made up of leading
photographers, painters and
