Open-mouthed caricatures of Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito on Manhattan's Times Square made inviting receptacles to throw discs into. From Maine to California 1,500,000 members of the American Legion and the women's American Legion Auxiliary rang doorbells, telephoned, dashed about in cars and trucks.
