 The men then collected the money for the postage and saying that he had no stamps with him, would later sub- stitute some of his carefully preserved cancelled stamps and on arrival at the post office annex, would see to 1t that the parcels passed by the clerk to whom the job of cancellation is as- signed.

 Federal Control Suggested.
 Three avenues of action appeared open to the administration today:
