Naturally, there IS the prQpa-
bility that special stamps will be
issued for such service, unless, In
an effort to simplify the stamp
designs of the two services, the
same stamps that are used for
Transpacific mail, will carry for
Atlantic flights, with slight
change being made in the top
panelling for the name Of the
service.
Initial Steps
Some time ago, the aeronautic
bureau Of the Department Of Com
merce completed test flights to
Bermuda with remarkable success.
OF course this is only the initial
lap Of the planned flight, the re-
naming being the Azores, Lisbon,
Gironde and finally London, but
nevertheless the preliminary ,ex-
perimentS are under way.

have been thoroughly tested and

flee officials set the machine in
order from q philatelic stand

AS reported In these columns
several months ago, it is the hope
Of the Post Office Department
that flights get under way by No.
vember /.
The success Of the transpacific
clipper service to Asia, has cast a
favorable reaction on the inaugu
ration Of Atlantic Ocean air mail
service for the near future.
With Germany slated to have
the sister ship Of the Inflated
Graf Zepp, completely con
structed and ready for flight BY
the middle Of September, anC
with the idea Of carrying on 9
regular transatlantic air mai

writer's of the midwest and stamp
editor Of the Chicago Herald Ex.
aminer, vigorously condemned this
country" as being q Russian
hoax.
Mr.. Geldhof points out that the
stamps Of Tannou Touva, those
multi .colored Enthusiastically de-
signed adheSiveS In groteSqle
shapes and sizes, "are printed and
only sold in Moscow: that covers
purporting to come from Tannou
Touva are cancelled In Moscow,
and finally that the sale Of Tan
nou Touva stamps is nothing more
or less than an imposition on the
stamp-collecting public by The
Russian Reds"
In an effort to solve the problem
as to the why, wherefore, and geo
graphical being Of such q state
or country, the Philatelic Maya
zine Of London addressed a letter
to Tannou Touva, with the result
that the letter was delivered to the
Moscow Philatelic Agency, and
that all the postmarks of this Sus-
picious country such as Turaa,
KILL, Kysykchoto, etc., and In
Guiding even airrnail and registry
cancellations are applied in Mos
COW.
Geldhof points out that Tannou
Touva is not recognized by the
International Postal Union, and
proves this by a letter quoted as
follows:
"NO pOstOffice Of the name Of
TannOu TOuva appears In the die
ti0nary Of pOstOffices Of the world,
which is now being printed In our
office"
Such an answered proof should
be sufficient, but then Eugene l..
Pollock, stamp editor of the Phila.
telic Inquirer, writing in Linn's
Weekly Stamp News on the sub.
