PHILATELISTS,

IN THE Department of Justice mail

letter for Ugo Carusi, assistant to At
torney General Cummings. The letter
had travelled from China via Pan
American Clipper, and with all It's
stamps, cachet and legend, it was con-
spicious as Christmas tree at a shad
bake.
Word spread quickly that Carusi
had trans-Pscific first day cover,
and within an hour philatelists were
buzzing around him like bees, all
hoping to snare the item for amateur
collections. After much amiable
pickering, Carusi finally decided who
should get the prize. Then he opened
the letter.
1t said:
Dear Ugo: Be sure and save the
