Letters Taken to Europe by
Airplane Cause of Row
with P. O. Dept.

WASHINGTON, June S.-Charles
A Levine, who had trouble with
the Air Mail Service before he en-
barked on the Atlantic flight to Ger
many, is apparently headed into a
row with the Postal officials, m
cidental to his flight and involving
Postmaster Sealy at Hampstead,
Long Island.
Sealy has been asked to report on
action cancelling air mail stamps
ON $50 letters which Levine took
across the Atlantic with him in the
monoplane Columbia.
Information received by the Post
Office Department is that Sealy can
celled the stamps away from his
post office and delivered the letters
to persons not authorized to receive
mail. The Postal officials estimated
that the present value of cancelled
stamps to dealers and collectors will
be 1000 each since they are the
first stamps on mail to cross the
Atlantic by airplane.
Last March Postmaster General
New refused to award an air mail
contract to the North American Air
ways of Cleveland because Levine
held one half of the stock.

Most of the damage was caused
by water and a pipe which burst
in the cool room.
