Mr.. Mineo is charged by the
SECS Division of Trading and
Exchanges with violating

quirements.

the date of the divisions filing
to submit an answer in writing
Mr.. Feiler will then make a rec
commended decision to the
commission.
At the conclusion of the hear
ing. Mr.. Mineo said he would
not engage in the securities
business as a broker-dealer un-
til the commission hands down
a decision.

hearing that he was under the
impression" that his attorney

occasions last December and
this January that he would
send in the necessary informa.
ton on forms to the SEC if Mr.
Mineo gave him further docu.
ments and papers on his

never given to him by Mr.
Mineo, Mr.. Childs testified.

COCOA BEACH, Fla, Feb. 81
The Navy has a saying that
there's always somebody who
doesn't get the word.
Assistant Postmaster Lyle
Meadows of the Cocoa Beach
post office felt like such a
person yesterday when the four.
cent Mercury astronaut stamp
was issued.
Cocoa Beach, six miles south
of Cape Canaveral, is the near.
est town to the Cape. A town
of about 1000, it has it's own
post office, and regards itself as
the gateway to space.
But somebody at the Post
Office Department in Wash
ington with an imperfect feel
for both geography and history
decided to issue the astronaut
stamp through the post office
at Cocoa. Cocoa, on the Florida
mainland, is seven miles farther
from Cape Canaveral than is
this island town.
A trailer truck at the Cape
Canaveral press site was set
up and specially designated as
a branch of the Cocoa post
office. 1t was from this van
that the first astronaut stamps
were sold.
1--WE were caught flatfooted,"
Mr.. Meadows said today. NO
body had told us about any
new stamp"
When customers began to
ask for the stamps, Mr.. Mead
ows made a quick phone call

Post Offices Swomped
By Space Stamp Buyers
BY the Associated Press

Hidden away in 300 post of.
fices across the country were
mysterious sealed packages tina
carried strict orders: do moi
OPEN"
The mystery was solved yes
terday. The moment Astronaut
John H. Glenn. jr., was plucked
from the Atlantic Ocean as the
first American to orbit the
earth, the Post Office Depart
ment in Washington flashed
the word:
Open package and sell
stamps.
The packages contained a
special issue Of Accent stamps
commemorating the Marine
lieutenant colonel's flight: A
simple blue rectangle with a
space capsule, catching the rays
of the sun, soaring over the
earth. 1t carries the legend
United States Man in Space
and in capital letters: Project
Mercury.
Demand Is Heavy
Demand was instant. More
than 10000 stamps were sold
in the first two hours at the
philatelic window of the Ben
jamin Franklin Post Office in
Washington.
In New York City the crowds
were so large at the philatelic
window of the main post office
that Postmaster Robert Chris
tenberry ordered general sale
at all windows.
In Columbus, Ohio, the main
post office got an employe out
of bed last night to serve peo-
pie lined up to buy the COM
memorative stamp.
Half a million stamps were
sold in Baltimore within two
hours, exhausting supplies.
In Baltimore and San Fran
cisco some people questioned
the fact that the words "U. S
Postage" were omitted from
the stamp.
In Woodland, Calf, a vet
eran stamp collector called it
the greatest philatelic blunder
in Post Office history.
But a Post Office Depart
ment spokesman in Washington
said today, lit was no blunder
it was Intentional. The idea
was to emphasize the space
flight and it was felt the words
u. S. Postage were not neces-
sary."

On December 7, NASA an
nounced a $500 million pro-
gram to build space trains
for use as bases for explora-
ton of the moon.
Eventually, under this pro-
gram tWo-man space ships will
be lifted into orbit along with
extra fuel tanks and then
coupled in space in much the
same fashion as railroad trains
are assembled in a marshaling
yard.
These two-man space ships
will weigh twice as much as the
present two-ton, one-man space
capsule, and will remain in
orbit a week or longer.
The purpose of the space
train program is to train astro-
nauts for future trips around
the earth and to the moon.
Flights by the two-man
spacecraft are scheduled to be-
gin in the 1854 period, NASA
said. They will depart from
here, with the present seven
astronauts acting as pilots.
Pilots to Be Recruited
Toward the end of this ex-
pertinent, the United States
will begin to recruit additional
space pilots.
The creation Of space trains
and their use as launching pads
for lunar exploration is but
one technique for reaching the
moon. There is always the
possibility of a direct flight.
Thus, while the space train
program is in full swing the
Nation will be striving to build
a huge rocket capable of pro-
ducing thrusts upwards of %
million pounds.

NEW CONCORD, Ohio, Feb.
81 (AP).-This little Muskin-
gum County town basked today
in the reflected glory of Astro-
naut John H. Glenn jr.-and
not many other places had a
better right.
Americas first man to orbit
the earth lived here half his
life. He went to primary, grade
and high school here, and even
to college.
He wed his childhood New
Concord sweetheart. and it was
here he played as a boy and
won remembrance of the town
folk as a freckle-face, red
haired lad who loved everything
about aviation.
Already his home town has
honored the astronaut. 1t has
named a little community park
northwest of town - between
Columbus, Ohio, and Wheeling,
w. Va, on U. S. 40-after him.
Now a move is under way to
put him name on a new con-
solidated high school.
The big excitement for this
town of little more than 1000
people isn't all over now that
their favorite son has made his
orbital space flight. Mayor
James K. Taylor believes that
in the near future. John Glenn
will come home, and then there
will be a big celebration.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Glenn, ST.,
the astronaut's parents who
starred in a news conference at
Muskingum College yesterday,
after the space flight, went
home last night to spend a
quiet evening-perhaps their
first really restful one in many
weeks. They assured everyone
that there had never been any
doubt in their minds that their
sons trip into space would be
anything but successful.
They were jolly and smiling
when it was all over-but they
have been that way through
the tense days and hours be-
fore during the actual blastoff |
of the orbital project.
There exists the possibility

mot too many years from

In the context of the space
race, Col. Glenn's flight could
be viewed in two lights, one
pleasant, one not so pleasant.
The pleasant view is that
America has now qualified fully
for membership, along with
Russia, in the community OF
outer space. The other view is
that, with this deed being done
10 months and 8 days after
the Russians first manned Or
bital flight, the space gap has
been defined rather precisely.
Whether the gap narrows or
widens in the near future can
now be measured-and it is
certain that it will widen be-

that there was a tremendous
difference between yesterdays
performance and anything done
to date by the Soviets. That
difference was the public OPEN
ness of the flight of Friend

Nothing Concealed
Before the prying eyes of
television cameras and seasoned

But the heat shield did not

for another-Which to him will
probably be more narrowing.
The flight of Friendship Z
was a unique event in one
important respect, despite the
fact that similar flights have
taken place twice before. 1t
was unique in the sense of being
a protracted experience shared

of people.
