It isn't correct grammar for normal use, but newspaper headlines often use this sort of shortened sentence in order to convey the information in as few words as possible.

No. It's not a sentence. It is a headline. Headlines are usually sentence fragments. Headlines leave out words which the reader "fills in" in their mind. It saves space and allows large typeface to be used.
