More Use of V-Mail Is
Urged by Army, Navv

WASHINGTON, D. c. - The army

concern over recent drops in the
use of the microflm service by both
servicemen overseas and civilians
at home. The army and navy want
civilians to use V-mail for four out
of five letters, reserving air mail
for an occasional long letter or one
requiring enclosures.
