 IN STAMPS
Why Abraham Lincoln Grew a Beord

THE campaign posters of 1860
 pictured an extremely thin, gaunt Lincoln. In contrast with the photo of the heavy-joweled vice presidential candidate. Han- nibal Hamlin, he appeared even more emaciated.
 Eleven-year-old Grace Bedell of Westfield, N. Y, saw the picture and immediately said she didn't like it. In true childish sincerity she wrote letter to MT. Lincoln suggesting that he grow a beard to hide his thin features.
 Since he was especially inter- ested in children, Lincoln an- swered the letter, pointed out that people might think it "a piece of silly affectation" if he were to grow whiskers at this stage. But he grew them nevertheless and by the time of his inauguration he had the heavy beard which has become so familiar to every American.
 The inaugural train was routed from Springfield to Washington by way of Westfeld, N. Y. A large crowd gathered to see the new President, and in the crowd was little Grace. But she wasn't tall enough to see her hero. The President, however. remembered her and after his address Lincoln called the child to the rear plat form of his car. There the great man shook her hand and kissed her.
 You see," he said, indicating his beard. "I let these whiskers grow for you, Grace"
 Lincoln, with whiskerS, is shown above on a stamp of the issue of 1890, Accent dark brown, after a photograph from life. The stamp is enlarged.

Giannini Charges
Conspiracy Aimed
At Banking Firm
Federal Agents Engaged
In Effort to Injure
Company is Charge

LOS ANGELES, May l.
(UP)-A. P. Giannini, head
of the Bank of America and
TIansamerica corporation,
today sought a congressional
investigation of what he termed "a
damnable conspiracy" to injure the
banking institutions.
The banker made the request for
congressional hearing, he said,
because of the recent linking of his
deceased son, Virgil Giannini, and
his daughter, Mrs. C. P. Hoffman,
with the investigation of a San
Francisco financial house.
Giannini whose many business
ventures are under securities and
exchange commission investigation,
charged at press conference yes
terday that the alleged conspiracy
started in 1882 when an attempt
was made to force Bank of America
to merge with another California
bank which he claims was in an
unsound state.
ut is time the public learns that
the Bank of America and Trans
America are targets of damnable
conspiracy, detail of which can be
and should be brought to light in
a congressional investigation of the
SEC, particularly devoted to the
time since Eugene Meyer has been
governor of the federal reserve
board in Washington, he said.
