CONTROVERSY rages across the

CONTROVERSY rages across the nation over the discovery of 40 "error" sheets in the recent issue of the 6-cent airmail. The sheets, found by Brooklyn buyer and promptly cornered by spectators and released at prices ranging to $2500 for sheet, to $200 for a block of four, were inn perforate horizontally.
 Now, because prices have sky rocketed, the Post Office Depart ment has been asked by the Bev- erly Hills Philatelic Society to prepare an entire printing of the bi-colored sheet imperforate hori- zontally. Such a move, as once employed by Canada under sim liar conditions, would defeat the present monoply and speculation on these values.
 The California group in it's pe- ttition to the Post Office Depart 'ment points out that printing of such imperforate sheets at this time would clear the government of any suspicion of connivance and safeguard the average collec- tor at the same time.
 Plans for the new U. s. series of famous Americans are still to be approved, and suggestions con- tinue to flood the Post Office De- pertinent. One thing seems cer- tain, the issues will be restricted to lower values.

Rev. Frederick Schaeffer Says Cultivation of Ethi=
 cal Principles Needed

Bridgeport, March 27-The road to peace lies not in treaties, en- bargoes on arms, limitation of ar- mamentS, restriction of propaganda or maintenance of a balance of power, but rather in the cultiva- tion of certain ethical principles in the mind of man, the Rev. Freder- ick F. Schaeffer, assistant pastor of St. Peters church, told members of the Holy Name society of the Church of the Holy Family, Tunxis Hill, at a communion breakfast yes- terday in the Stratfield hotel.
 About 75 members of the society received communion at the 8:30 a.. m. mass at the church and at the breakfast heard Father Schaeffer speak on the Means to Peace" and John McGowan. local attorney, on the "Bill of Rights"
 "If, we, as members of the mighty host of Christians, are to attain world peace" Father Schaeffer de- clared, i've must have a program, a tactic and a technique just as have our most bitter enemies.
 we cannot believe in the short range view taken by the majority that a balance of power must be lined up to preserve the status quo. This is not only unreasonable and contrary to natural law but is at best a truce, awaiting the hour when a nation or alignment of na- tions feels strong enough to chal- lenge those who sit in the seats of world power"
 Scoring such weak or partial means for peace" as short term treaties, arms embargoes, 'limita- tions or armaments and restriction of propaganda, Father Schaeffer outlined five points for peace:
 l. Subordination of international relations to the moral law. Pro- per evaluation of national rights, highest rights first, as religion, civilization, culture. 3. A true as opposed to a false patriotism. 4. h. creased popular control over foreign policy. 5. Education of popular opinion.
 MCSCWdII pIdlocO lrccUOulS grant, ed in this country by the Bill of Rights and emphasized four liber- ties enjoyed here and lacking in to- talitarian states: freedom of speech, freedom of the press; freedom of worship and the right of assembly. McGowan urged Catholics to resist all efforts to abridge these rights.
 The speakers were introduced by the Rev. John L. Loughran, pastor of the church.

left sides alike. That dense shad- ow ahead and to the left. Could that be the trees on the Point, or was 1t just a heavier fall of rain, cloaking the river in dense, blacker darkness?
 The pilot saw it too. It could be a mass of debris, wreckage from the dam that had cleared the Point, that was bearing down upon them. He spun the wheel and the launch responded, veered to the right.
 The black shadow came nearer on their left now and ahead. the launch widowed in waves and the pilot gave the wheel another twist to meet the current head on. Then
 The black mass was on their left. Waves were beating against the left side of the prov. Waves were breaking over the left gum vale; waves shaking the rudder. The launch rocked in trough. The prov swung slightly to the left. Light glistened on the wet bark of distant tree. A few more yards and they were out of the pounding current.
 They had made it!
 Lights fiickered through the rain. Eric waved his f1ashlight over his head in an arc. The spotights went out for a second, then blazed back into light again. Far ahead lights were moving, blinking.
 A few minutes later, Baker was wading into the shallow water to guide the launch toward the bank. Thank God you're here," he shouted as Eric bent toward him. Got the doctors?" -Four of themw
 we need all of them" Baker shouted back. "Got the men up in the office - lights and tables there - 12 badly hurt - can't find three of them"
 Alan jumped out as the launch grated on the beach, landing in water half way up to his knees. An arm grasped his elbow. He turned to see Harry Browns face close to his.
 You're all right, Harry?" Alan asked quickly. How about the 1 Price boys?"
 I'm all right, Doc" Harry said. Bud Price is missin'." Bud Price. Tie old mans young est boy. No time to think.
 Get all that stuff out of the launch and up to the oface," Alan ordered the men grouped around them. We've work to do." (To Be Continued)

CHAPTER XVII

Rain mixed with her tears as Emily stood alone on the dock, watching the lights of the launch grow dim in the distance. The roar of the motor faded into a feeble murmur. Then, at last, the light was gone and the still cold of midnight was broken only by the gentle lap ping of waves against the piling, and the batter of rain on the wooden blanks.
 Alan-her husband-gone! Gone out into the darkness, perhaps never to return. Emily shuddered at the thought. Suddenly she req 1ized that her clothing was soaked, her hair dripping. Slowly she made her way back to the car. The whine of a train whistle sounded in the distance.
 Back across the bumpy flats she drove, stopping at crossing where lights flashed red and a bell tinkled a warning. The midnight passenger. Far down the track she could see the light of the engine. In mo- ment the ground was trembling be- heath her, the windows of the coupe rattling. Then the locomotive was hurtling toward her, into the glare of the headlights, grumbling, roar ing, with its great drivers flashing sparks from the rails. Black coaches. Lighted windows. Faces staring out. Everything was blurred. Red and green lights shining through the rain. Emily hated that train. It might have carried Alan to St. Louis!
 Her tears had dried on her cheeks before she reached home. The house was still ablaze with lights, but strangely quiet after all the clamor of a few minutes be- fore. Alan's pipe, still faintly warm, on the ash tray beside her chair. The print of his head against the cushion. She could almost see him there, just as he had been when she had said she would marry Eric. Why had she said that, tonight?
 The fire had died down to 8 few glowing embers. Methodically, she went from room to room turning off lights, until only the hall light was left burning. Then she ran swiftly up the stairs and the door of her room slammed behind her.
 
 Alan sat beside Farrell in the stern of the launch. Father John son and Grady were farther for ward; Weber and Eric up beside the pilot.
 Rain beat into Alan's face, pounded against his raincoat. He hunched lower into the collar of his coat. turning his face to watch the lights of Sumner melt into the shadows. He had heard Emily's shout as the boat pulled out into nlidstream, but her words were in-

DR.. James A. Bell, president Of
Southeastern University, has an
nounced that more stringent re-
quirements for the law school will

proved college.
Students taking law in the early
morning or evening classes will be
required to attend for four years to

grees in three years.
DR.. Ben said that the university is
not compelled TO raise its require
mentS at this time to comply with
recent rulings in the District govern

both part-time and full-time STU
dents. Early morning classes in both
accounting and law will be held

Health Needs Studied

Health needs were studied by
the Committee on Economic
Security which I appointed in
1884 and certain basic steps
were taken by the Congress in
the social security act. 1t was
recognized ar that time that a
comprehensive health program
was required as an essential link
in our national defenSeS against
individual and social insecurity.
Further study, however,
seemed necessary at that time
to determine ways and means
of providing this protection
most effectively.
In August, 1895, after the pas
sage of the social security act,
1 appointed the Interdepart-
mental Committee to Coordinate
Health and Welfare Activities.
Early in 1888, this committee
forwarded to me reports pre-
pared by their technical experts.
They had reviewed unmet health
needs, pointing to the desirable
ity of a national health pro
gram, and they submitted the
outlines of such a program.
These reports were impressive.
I therefore suggested that a con-
ference be held to bring the
findings before representatives
of the general public and Of the
medical. public health, and
allied professions.

TWO Basic Points

More than 200 men and
women, representing many
walks of life and many parts Of
our country, came together in
Washington last July to con-
slider the technical committees
findings and recommendations
and to offer further proposals.
There was agreement on two
basic points: The existence Of
serious unmet needs for medi-
cal service; and our failure to
make full application Of the
growing powers of medical
science to prevent or control
disease and disability.
I have been concerned by the
evidence of inequalities that
exist among the States as to per-
Sonnel and facilities for health
services. There are equally
serious inequalities of resources,
medical facilities and services
in different sections and among
different economic groups.
These inequalities create han

To Safeguard Mothers

The objective of q national
health program is to make avail
able in all parts Of our country
and for all groups of our people
the scientific knowledge and
skill at our command to prevent
and care for sickness and dis
ability; to safeguard mothers,
infants and children; and to-
offset through social insurance
the loss of earnings among
workers who are temporarily or
permanently disabled.
The committee does not pro.
pose a great expansion of Fed
eral health services. It recon-
mendS that plans be worked out
and administered by States and
localities with the assistance of
Federal grantS-in-aid. The aim
is a flexible program.
The committee points out that
while the eventual costs Of the
proposed program would be con-
siderable, they represent a sound
investment which can be ex-
pected to wipe out, in the long
run, certain costs now borne in
the form of relief.
We have reason to derive
great satisfaction from the in
crease in the average length of
life in our country and from
the improvement in the, aver.
age levels of health and we'll
being. Yet these improvements
in the averages are cold COM
fort to the millions of our
people whose security in health
and survival is still as limited
as was that of the nation as q
whole so years ago,
