Philatelic Nelus First Meeting Of Unique Names Found Woman's Stamp Club On Postal Charts
By F. E. D.


 Dates of release for two ada itional stamps of the national park series have been an- nounced this week. Four and 8 cent stamps will be released September 25 and September IS respectively at Washington, D. O., and at the national parks which they depict. The 4 cent stamp shows a view of the Cliff Palace, one of the more important ruins of the prehistoric cliff dwelling at Mesa Verde National park, Colorado. The design on the 8 cent stamp is n reproduction of the Great White Throne, in Zion National park, Utah.
 A supply of 5000 of the cent denomination has been received at the local post office. A view of Crater Lake in Oregon is the central de- sign.
 The third annual sale cata- lOgue, announcing the auction of United States and Foreign stamps Friday, October Is, has been released by the Col lectOr's Shop, 2SO Elm street, where the auction will take place. All bids should be mail- ed to. the New Haven address, 28O South Elm street. Accord ing to the announced terms each stamp is guaranteed gen. uine, and will be sold to the highest bidder for cash. No commission will be charged for bidding but successful bidders will be charged with the cost of forwarding.
 Collectors who wish to pur- chase the new migratory bird or "duck' issues, must also be prepared to buy a license for hunting the birds. The stamps were issued for the purpose of aiding the development of wild animal life. and will not be sold to collectors.
 Those who make a speciality of collecting the unusual will be interested in map stamps. Although prices are not espe- cially high they are elusive issues. Several United States stamps of this kind have been issued. The 10 cent value of the Louisiana Purchase series of 1904 bears a map of the United States showing the vast amount of land purchased in the Louisiana territory. Maps of the United States were also used on the three air stamps of the 1926, 27 issue ; as we'll as the Lindbergh and Graf Zeppelin issues.
 Map stamps in the foreign issues have been somewhat more numerous. Australia is- sued one in 1918; Bolivia in 1928; Brazil in 1927; Bulgaria in 1921: Canada in 1898: the V

DISTRICT WORKER
 REFUSES POSITION
Miss Dreyer Decides to
 Remain in Less Con- 1, spicnOus Role

Miss Madeline Dreyer. chairman
 of the first district of the local re- publican organization who resigned
 last year and then reconsidered
 her action. has notified the Water- bury g.o.p. leaders that she wtll be unable to function any further
 as one of its sub-chieftains. 1t wns learned to-day. This action has
 been taken by Miss Dreyer due to
 the fact that she is now perma-
 nently located in Washington.
 D. C. f, s%
 During election. however, the
 local party heads were informed,
 Miss Dreyer will be on hand to
 cooperate in the drive to put the
 republican candidates across. r Her
 resignation year ago, coming in
 the midst of the Cooney mayoralty campaign, caused not little sur-
 prise and discussion.
 When the recent g.o.p. primaries took place Miss Dreyer came On to Waterbury from Washington to work for the old organization. Her withdrawal from active mem
 bership on the town committee followed the defeat of the organ
 ization but is claimed not to have been induced by the fact that the old group lost out in the balloting. The chairmanship of the first district Is now vested in Peter Dunais, who. Is also chairman of the first ward. Miss Dreyer was the only woman on the town com- mittee occupying the position of district chairman. It is believed
 that the present set-up under the guidance of Chairman Dunais will continue, at least for the present. The republican town committee Is expected to be called into ses- sion shortly by the new chairman, Attorney F. W. Palomba, for the purpose of perfecting further and | possibly final plans for the cam paign. In view of the fact that there will be several local g.o.p.
 men on the local voting machines this year a drive will be made to put as many of them as possible
 over to victory.

Citizens Party May
 Endorse Democrats
Congressional Nominees Appeal to New Faction;
 Levitt Resigns to Head Ticket

thentic source, were current this morning. Those to be endorsed are Congressman Francis T. Maloney of Meriden, nominee for U. S. senator. Attorney William M. Citron of Middletown, candidate for the office of congressman-at- large, and Congressman Herman F. Kopplemann of Hartford.
 Aside from these three posts, 1t was said, the independent citizens will nominate a full ticket with Professor Albert Levitt of Bedding, for some time connected with the department of justice by virtue of an appointment from U. s. Attor- ney- General Homer s. Cummings, demecrat, as the gubernatorial candidate.
 Levitt Resigns
 It was learned today that Pro- lessor Levitt has severed his con- nections with the department of justice so that he can run for the office of governor on the independ. ent citizens ticket. It was neces- sary for him to resign in view of Attorney General Cummings rul- ing that federal employees must not run for or hold important political positions.
 Two years ago Professor Levitt ran for the office of governor on the independent republican ticket but was defeated. However, he drew many votes away from the regular republican candidates. it was figured. thereby helping the democratic campaign out considGA ably. Some claim that the settinH up of a state ticket this year b{l the independent citizens ticket wiE again aid the democrats.
 Democrats Endorsed
 It will be noted that in the re- port concerning the possible en- dorsements to be voted at today's convention that all three men are democrats and are nominees for congressional posts They are. the only democrats for congress so far nominated. It is felt that had the other four districts formally nom- mated their democratic congress sional candidates they. too. would have received endorsement today at the Bridgeport session. Wheth- CT the independent citizens ticket will run on dry platform remain ed to be seen today.

 The sons of Sarah and the sons of Hagar live side by side to- day in Palestine. And every once in a while, the newspapers of the world let us know that these descendants of the same fa- ther Abraham do not live in peace, that they fight and kill one another, because each is trying to defend it's religious rights against the other.
 Contrary to popular belief, the conflict between Jew and Arab is not a religious one.
 While 1t is true. that events oc- cur periodically which tend to strengthen that belief. careful in vestigation proves that these events have been carefully planned to give just that effect to spread the idea to a world interested in the Holy Land that the Arabs, .angered because their Mosque of Omar or some other holy spot has been threatened turned to bloodshed in defense.
 Basically, the reason behind the con flict between Jew an.l Arab in Palestine is economic.
 To find exactly how true this is, one has to return to the time be- fore the Jews came back into Palestine to rebuild that country, Country in Bad Shape
 In hts report upon the adminis- tration of Palestine for 192N- 1925, Sir Herbert Samuel, first high commissioner, referring to the state of the country in 1920, said: "Villages have been de- stroyed; the stock of cattle and horses has been depleted; olive trees have been cut down for fuel for the Turkish troops and mili- tary trains;, many orange groves left without irrigation have ceased to bear fruit; there is a general air of poverty and depression"
 In those days, Palestine was sad looking country, wasted away, lethargic as the exploited fellahin (peasants) who nlowed it with their crooked stick. s7
 These fellahin knew no better. The effendi (aristocrats), who

 Back in 1929. the effendi found that to many Arab fellahin wer e saying to them, "Why should we work for you for one piastre day when the Jews pays us fifteen and twenty and sometimes more?"
 Without the fellaf1in; whom they had exploited, the effendi found their wealth vanishing.
 They used the only weapon left to them-inciting the illiterata masses to religious hatred. Il wasn't long before the effendi- owned newspapers began to bear glaring headlines. which told of the menace that was in the Arab cOun- try.
 So thorough was the crganiza- tion of the effendi that a letter to this effect, bearing the news that lem was being burnt by the Jews, was signed by the Grand Mufti himself, titular head of all. Arabs,

 Doubt Their Leaders
 But many of the fellahin, who followed their Arab leaders in those riots, found that they owed heavy indemnity to the British gov ernment afterward for participa- tion in the rioting. So 1t was diff ficult ;to stir enthusiasm for the first demonstration held ip sJeru- salem last October with the incit- ing lie, "600,000 Jews from Ger many have come to take your land and all your mosques away from you" .s

 Stamps of tropical countries are notable for trees. On the Liberian 2S cent stamp of 1918 and also on the North Borneo 3 cent stamp of 1882 there is a reproduction of the travel- CTS tree. This tree derived its name from its service i'm pro- yiding men with both food and drink, having many times come to the aid of distressed travellers. 1t is a native of the tropics, where its seeds are Oftentimes used by. being ground into flour and baked in sort of cake.

The palm is featured on many stamps, a particularly fine specimen being shown on the 15c of the 1896 issue of Bel gian Congo and antoher on the 1887 issue of Samoa. X

was ignored almost entirely by the peasants in the villages. The demonstration at Nablus was postponed once and then again. The countrywide demon stration planned for January 6 was called of. The fellahin refused to cooperate in any rioting against the Jews.
 All in all, it's not so much a conflict between Jew and Arab. as
 clash between the Western and
 Eastern civilizations, their stand ands, habits and manners. THE END1

DETROIT, June 25.-Before the
brilliant cross-questioning Of Maui
rice Sugar, defense counsel of James
Victory, the composure and COM
petence Of Mrs. Agnes Kaye, the
States principal witness, crumbled.
The woman's phenomenal recollec-
ton Of every detail of the alleged
attack grew Enthusiastically improbable
as she revealed herself incapable of
even ordinary observation and &C
curacy. What indisputably emerged
was the spectacle of a woman led
astray by evident Negro-phobia into
concocting a monstrously far
fetched story.
This woman who could, so she
said, see the missing teeth of her
mysterious assailant, estimate his
weight and age C"39-40'O, was con-
fessedly unable to remember the
movie she had seen that very after
noon, was unable to recall the hat
that James Victory was wearing
when forced to appear before her
in both official and unofficial show
up"
Maurice Sugar also brought to
light facts which substantiate the
defense's claim that James Victory
was unscrupulously framed: Mrs.
Kaye was invited by the Corners
Creek Station polio to come over
and 'look at man who fits your
description" When James Victory
appeared and crossed the room be-
fore Mr.. and Mrs. Kaye, the hys-
terical woman was tactfully relieved
OF all possibility of doubt by the
presence beside Victory of the two
policemen who had come for the
couple. To all purposes the subtle
suggestion was complete success.
Mrs. Kaye dramatically recognized"
him as the alleged assailant and
promptly tainted in approved fash
ion.
To clinch matters the police tact
fully suggested that the identifica-
ton was mot exactly official" and
would the lady be so kind as to
appear next day downtown and
pick-out her "assailant" in the legal
manner. Mrs. Kaye obligingly did.
She made perfect score: out of
twenty-five Negroes, whom she had
never seen before, she cleverly
picked-out James Victory as the

show-up of twenty-four hours pre-
man, whose features had naturally
vious.
The second day of the trial con-
cluded after three hours of UNI
paralleled examination by Maurice
Sugar of Mrs. Kaye. The real facts
Of the case were clearly apparent
to the public which had flocked to
the courtroom. The supporters of
James Victory were out in full-force,
despite the now covert terrorism of
the police. The defendant by his
quiet conduct, his unquestionable
evidence Of honesty and innocence,
left no doubt in the minds of the
audience as to his being crudely
framed by the fascist powers of

MOnOpOhes and Pure Science

American universities are patent
ing their scientific discoveries for
profits. Scientists who boast about
the ideals Of pure science" should
take note Of scientific institutions
that are exploiting vitality important
discoveries, in order to bolster re-
search budgets that have been ruth
lessly cut by the crisis. Conspicu-
Gus examples of these scientific
mOnopolies are the patents taken
out by the University Of Wisconsin
on the Steenbock process that adds
vitamin D (of great Importance in
preventing ricketts, among -children)
to certain foods, and by the Uni
versity Of st. Louis on Theelin. the
female sex hormone discovered by
DR.. E. A. Doissy of that institution.
Since the University Of Wisconsin
is interested in the economic ex-
ploitation Of its discovery, and not
in applying its knowledge so that
children Of workers and farmers
could be cured Of ricketts,, it is not
surprising that it all but sold its
discovery to several large cosmetic
concerns anxious to put the sun
shine vttamin into their lipsticks.
The cosmetic people, as well as soda
water, chewing gum, and candy
manufacturers were turned down,
because it was thought that they
were more interested in splash ad-
vertising than in seeing that per-
sons got their proper amount of
Yitamins. %
This is but one example of the
growing tendency of American
science to become business
proposition. 1t is a reflection Of
its need for funds, denied to it by
decaying capitalism, that spends
money only for war purposes. The
development of the shopkeeper's
theology among scientists is due in
large part to the corrupt influence
that capitalist civilization exerts
upon all social institutions. 1t is
significant that while bourgeois
scientists pirate about the generosity
of the rich to science, the actual
burden of substituting scientific re-
search is borne by the working and
lower middle classes in the form
Of taxes and in the form of pay
ments for the purchase of vital
needs that are held in the grip of
monopolies, from U. S. Steel down
to Wisconsin Vitamin D.
