The stamp policies of the Post
office Department during 1851
probably will be determined by
Assistant Postmaster General Os-
borne A. Pearson. He has taken
ever the work in that connection
formerly handled by Assistant
Postmaster General Joseph j.
Lawler, now assigned to other
duties. Philatelic matters, it seems,
appeal to him, and he quietly has
been improving his acquaintance
with them during the past few
weeks. He also has been in con-
sultation with the principal
officers of the several national
societies of stamp collectors and
with a number of philatelic
writer's.
Mr.. Pearson, appointed by Pres
ldent Truman on February "a last,
comes from Oakland, Calf, where
he was a business and civic leader
Evening star., 1950-12-24

and took an active part in chari-
table activities. He was executive
director for the Red Cross war
fund and area director of the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews. For many years he
was sales manager of an electrical
firm. Later, he operated an
advertising and public relations
organization. He headed the
Alameda County campaign for
President Truman and other
Democratic candidates.
Still young man, Mr.. Pearson
welcomes the opportunity afforded
him by his present position for
developing new professional and
cultural interests. He speaks OF
"the worlds greatest hobby" with
unaffected enthusiasm. Robert E
Fellers. Deputy Assistant Post
master General and a veteran in
the philatefic aspect of Post Office
Department business, will be as

and spent an average Of $4,000
a week for 400 weeks. When she
died she left 800 albums full Of
stamps, some Of the greatest
rarities in all philately. Her al
buns were made up Of 1000 pages
each, but no such pages nave ever
been seen anywhere. Each page
was a French bond worth 5000,
so that the albums alone without
the stamps had a cash value Of
$50 million. 1t must be borne
in mind that 80 years ago, the
dollars purchasing power was five
times as great as at present. She
left the stamps to her son and
the albums to the City of Genoa,
Italy. Her son was the famous
Count Ferrari. When he died, he
left the stamps to the German
Post Office Museum in Berlin.

stamp collection and sold it at

Psychiafrist Urges
UNIT at Youth Par|ey

DR.. William c. Menninger. noted
psychiatrist, today called for
changes in selective service which
he said was presenting "a major
disaster for youth"
Addressing panel of the White
House Conference on Children and
Youth in the National Guard
Armory, he said the present sys-
tenn was not working because out
of the total million youths be-
tween 19 and 26 too few are actu-
ally eligible for service.
The danger lies in the impact
on those youths rejected for serv-
ice, DR.. Menninger told the panel.
He said one of the most vicious
policies of the present system
from mental health standpoint
is that of selecting college men
on the basis of their academic
standing.
DR.. Menninger said this system
makes serious error of using
academic achievement as cri-
terion of a mans worth" and ii
colors his life with uncertainty.
He said the best answer for
every one concerned would be a
plan Of universal service for a
period of one, two or three years
with selective assignment apply
ing to all 18-year-old youths.

committee has received numerous
complaints about boosted rentals.
Hotel occupancy has decreased
in the past six months, Mr.. Dawes
said, and he argued that increased
operating costs justified rent in
creases in residential hotel units.
Furthermore, he said, some of the
increases were comparable to in
stances in which Rent Admins
traitor Robert F. Cogswell had ap-
proved similar rises.
An outright objection to any ex-
tension of controls was voiced by
Harold H. David, vice president of
the Washington chapter of the
Property Owners Association of
America. He noted that rents in
Virginia had been decontrolled.
While in advance of this there
were cries that chaos would result
that rents would be doubled or
more, and that tenants would
move into the District, he said,
none of these things had occurred.

sent the slain man, Weakley had
Mr.. Carey reach in his own pocket

lapel of Weakley's coat.
His face flushed and his voice
tense. Weakley declared that when
Mr.. Carnes went for his pocket.
I reached in my left hip pocket
like this. pulled out my gun, and
shot at his body"
Weakley added that Mr.. Carnes
never let go of me until I fired"
He said that as Mr.. Carnes turned
away from him after the first shot,
he fired again, the bullet striking
Mr.. Carnes in the head.

When Prosecutor Carey re-
peatedly accused him of shooting
Mr.. Carnes as the latter sat at his
desk. and then firing three more
shots at him when the employer
fell to the floor, Weakley firmly
replied, II did not, no, did not
Earlier the defendant had tes-
tilted that he had conferred with
Mr.. Carnes earlier that same
morning over fund shortages re-
Sulting in his dismissal the day
before. Weakley said that when
he threatened to take up the
shortage matter with the firms

"gritting his teeth, his face blow
ing up like a balloon"
Mr.. Carnes then warned him,
IF you do that I'll cut out your
tongue" according to Weakley.
Testifies on Shortages.
A large part of Weakley's testi-
mony yesterday concerned con-
versations he contended he had
with Mr.. Carnes regarding Short
ages of food items from statesmen
trucks.
Weakley testified that, at one
time, he had borrowed $500 from

a $3.50 shortage in food products.

Carnes had keys to his wagon and
that he had complained to Mr..
Carnes of food products disap-
pearing from the wagon.

ago, in view of the heavy in

landlord services. The result of
this, he said, has been to reduce
the value of the landlords 1910

Chairman Neely of the Senate
District Committee, conducting
the hearing, said he would be
very happy" to support Mr..
Bauer's proposal - provided it

A resident of a downtown hotel,
Senator Nicely said he was paying

was in 1910. and added land your

No Roll-Back Proposed.
Mr.. Bauer said he was not pro-
posing any roll-back, and agreed
that his plan meant that any
landlords who are getting more
than 35 per cent over 1941 would
keep their present rentals.
II didn't think you were pro-
posing any roll-backs," Senator
Nicely commented.

Chang Gives Warning
Against New Munich;
Repeats Troop Offer
BY the Associoted Press

TAIPEI. Formosa. Dec. s.
Chang Kai-Shek today warned
against another Munich" and
pledged Nationalist China,s full
backing toward averting it.
If Munich repeats itself, the
Chinese Nationalist leader said,
war may break out at any time. "
Chang told a specially sum-
moned news conference he stood
by his earlier offer to send troops
to Korea, declaring IF the COM
mander in chief of the U. N. forces
is given full authority in strategy
and this calls for our military sup
port. We shall certainly give it,
In written statement, Chang
declared that any major decision
at the Truman -Attlee conference
would have to be translated into
action through the United Nations.
American Responsibility.
amy major decision of the
United Nations will be an Amer
ican responsibility ;" he added.
THE people and Government of
the United States have never sur
rendered to brute force or open
aggression.
Therefore I think it is incon-
ceivable that there should be an
other Munich. There is no
reason whatever, to make Korea
another Czechoslovakia."
The generalissimo's statement
said concessions to the Chinese
Communists, who chased his Ma
tionalist regime from the main
land to Formosa, surely would
lead to the virtual destruction of
the United Nations. And, he
added, If the world organization
were allowed to die entire man
kind would be subjected to the
rule of international communism. 4"
Supports U. N. Charter.
Replying to questions submit
ted, Chang declared Nationalist
China stands for full support of
the U. N. Charter and of any
resolution by the U. N. for "justice
and righteousness" He added:
Il believe Munich will not hap
pen because if Great Britain
really loves and supports the Unit
ed States and the United Nations
it cannot happen again."
Chang said there was no oues-
ton about Nationalist troops be-
ing in combat readiness, but he
preferred not to discuss the uues-
tion Of their possible use before
consultation with the United Ma
tions.'
This is the winter season." he
added. This implied that when
he offered to send 5000 National
ist troops to Korea it was summer
but now they would need winter
equipment.
Chang refused to discuss For
mosa's naturalization. This has
been effective since shortly after
the Korean Communist invasion
of South Korea. President Tru-
man ordered the United States
7th Fleet to protect Formosa from
possible invasion by the Chinese
Reds. At the same time he re-
duested Chang to cease attacks
on the Chinese mainland.
