The stamps were determined to
be too much like postage stamps
to get by under the regulation
which permits mailing of Red Cross
Christmas seals and similar
eummed stickers
The seals, boosting Tacoma

several months and had been ac-
cepted by the Tacoma post office.
Plan Immediate Appeal
General Chairman Harry Cain of
the Golden Jubilee committee said
an immediate appeal would be
made to Postmaster General Far
ley
A letter from Ramsey S. Black,
third assistant postmaster general,
was Fishburne's first warning here
that the stamps are illegal.
Black said the stickers were not
acceptable for mailing under regu-
lation paragraph 5, section 7f6,
Postal Laws and Regulations.
jolt to Committee
The postal services action was
a severe jolt to the Jubilee COM
mittee, which had planned to fl
nance much of its pre-celebration
activities with sale of the stamps.
Postmaster Fishburne said the
regulation could not apply to an
other series of stamps printed and
sold by the Young Mems Business
club of Tacoma. While similarly
boosting Tacoma and its July cele-
bration. they are larger than the
Jubilee association stamps and
consist of a variety of color photo
scenes of the city and vicinity.
