"Philately is the pursuit that captures
| happiness. There is e. magnetism
about postage stamps that has at
tracted and held spellbound young
and old as long as there have been
postage stamps to collect.
I'VE do not seek to explain this
lure. Collectors all over the world are
conscious of its potency. They are
content to roam the enchanted field
| which presents so many and such
varied interests to the mind
"Of 100 collectors each may tread
a different philatelic path, culling
the blossoms that bloom for him. The
deeper he penetrates. the more pro-
found are the pleasures to be enjoyed.
THE collecting of stamps from
many lands opens ;or the young the
windows of the mind, broadens their
outlook and prepares them to be citi-
zenS of the world. For the older COL
lector, there is the recreative mental
interest in studying the stamps of a
more restricted area, a study which
| has its highest value in affording re-
lief from the strain and exactions of
the daily round, the common task"
An airplane manufacturing concern
recently proposed to furnish the gov

The philatelic material was to be sold

of the world" But, to the vast relief
of the public destined to be exploited,

NEW EVIDENCE IS FOUND AGAINST CONDEMNED MAN
Handwriting of Haupt-
 mann Fully Identified; New Fingerprint Story

Trenton. N. J.. June l7-(UP)-s While defense counsel for Bruno Richard Hauptmann completed their arrangements for hearing of his appeal from the death sentence the government permitted addis tional evidence of his guilt to be made public. The "new" evidence cannot be presented in any court. and the purpose of its disclosure was obs scure. The evidence, however. would go far towards supporting the conclusion of eight government handwriting experts that Haupt- mann wrote the ransom notes which led to the extortion of $50.- 900 from Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh.
 Harlngs Made Findings
 J. vreeland Haring and his son. J. Howard Haring, handwriting ex- perts who were retained by the state of New Jersey at the time Hauptmann was arrested fo r the crime. were permitted today to re- veal their findings. Because of the preponderance of handwriting tess timony they were not used, as the state had intended, in rebuttal.
 The two experts showed at least . dozen similarities betw en Hauptmann's acknowledged hand- writing and the writing in the ransom notes, but their most strik- ing exhibit was duplicate" ran- som note. pieced together by the use of words and letters from the convicted mans known handwrit- ing and producing almost Q fac- simile document.
