HIS SON, the crown prince,
died in 1851, in a little villa
within sight of a hilltop
Hohenzollern castle he could
not afford to run.
The Rambler asked Prince
Michael If he ever runs into
any bitterness in his travels.
NO" he said. People seem
to realize this is a new age in
which we live"
Because of the fortune
handed down from Hohen-
zollern to Hohenzollern,
although much of it was
wiped out in two world wars,
it is not necessary for the
Prince to find a job.
But he is determined, after
completing his studies, to go
off to work, possibly with
Pan American Always. He
is wild about travel and re-
minded his listener that his
great-grandfather was known
as the Travelling Emperor"
The Rambler asked him If
he minds talking about the
family, digging up the past.
"No," he said in a burst
of pride, I'VE want it to be
known that our family is not
dead"
The Prince walked briSkly

much alive.

By JOHN MeKELWAY

- @~-N @1-~A--~~A y - q
He had Just finished a late,
leisurely breakfast at the
Mayflower. His coffee cup
was half empty. He was inn
peccably dressed in a dark
blue suit and dark tie. The
hair was blond and carefully
combed; the eyes, a sparkling
blue.
A waiter moved over with
a coffee pot and started to
refill the cup. The young
mans right hand shot out,
covering the cup. The
gesture was Enthusiastically
aristocrstic, and the waiter
moved quickly away.
Otherwise, the young man,
thin and Slithe, was relaxed
and informal, likable and
obviously intelligent.
The Rambler assumed his
name would be long and
complicated and asked him
to repeat 1t.
II am Prince Michael Of
Prussia" he said, softly and
with a certain GOODNESS.
The Prince is % years old.
He is the great-grandson Of
the late Friedrich Wilhelm
Victor Albert Hohenzollern,
Kaiser Wilhelm II, Emperor
Of Germany.

over q huge pile Of Sunday

raised his gloved right hand in
q farewell salute.

dozen trolley huffs-many Of

about this last journey-pre-
ferred to stand and take pic

never known to get too excited
about anything, sat quietly.
Some Were Unaware
Some were not even aware
this was the final streetcar run,
One sleeping man, his head
bobbing up and down, awoke
to explain that he was just
riding the streetcar to get
home. .I've been working all
night at the hospital and I'm
tired and want to go to sleep,

it was a sentimental journey

A Republican Congressman
today warned the House against
a District liquor bill which Is
due for a vote Wednesday.
Legislation removing the Al
coholic Beverage Control Board
from control Of District COM
missioners is tailored to the
interest Of the liquor industry, I"
Representative Springer Of Illi-
nois said.
The House District Commit
tee member said he would OPP
pose passage Of the bill. He
asked his colleagues to do the
same.
Representative Multer, DEM
ocrat of New York, sponsored
the bill. 1t was reported out
last week by the House Dis
trict Committee after two years
of controversial consideration.
Mr.. Multer claims the bill will
curb false advertising and limit
unfair bargain sales.
Opposed by Press
It is opposed by all three
daily newspapers in Washing
ton. Mr.. Springer assured
House members that editorials
he cited each represented COM
munity sentiment. Mr.. Multer
has claimed that the news
paper positions reflect adver-
Using interests.
THE heart of the bill Is
the language making the
.ABC Board independent" Mr..
Springer said in a speech on
the floor. by doing so, the
bill removes the right of Dis
trict Commissioners to super
wise the board and to make
rules for the board"

q high order"
Il don't believe this could be
said to be true Of the ABC
Board" the Congressman
added.
But District Commissioners
have been quick to correct"
mistakes Of the board, the
Congressman maintained, So,
he favors continued WATCH
logging Of the liquor regulators
by tho presidentially appointed
Commissioners. Members Of the
ABC Board are appointed by
the Commissioners and, tradi-
tionally. become more involved
in local politics.
The House bill not only
might make the Abe Board the
tool Of q liquor lobby" but
could ultimately give the liquor
industry more power in fixing
prices. according to Mr..
Springer.
The Language
He was referring to language
defining as IAN unfair method
of competition" any merchan-
diSing practice substantially
lesSening competition"
Mr.. Multer interprets these
words to eliminate cute rate
sales. The section would protect
small liquor dealers who could
not afford to cut rates, in Mr..
Multer's view.
But a conflicting opinion is
that retailers, barred by the
bill from offering bargain
prices. would be forced to ac-
cept higher prices dictated by
the Districts large wholesalers.

The Rambler was surprised
to hear that there are still
those in Germany who would
like to see q return to
monarchy. One Of them, he
gathered, is the Prince.
His father is Louis Ferdi-
nand Hohenzollern, favorite
grandson Of the late Kaiser

The family traces its
history back to 1861 when 1t
started producing the men
who were TO rule portions Of
Germany and finally the
empire, which collapsed in
1918.
There was Joachim II who
may have been mad and who
built castles and churches all
over the place.
His son, John George, tried
to pay off the debt piled up
by his father and had 20
children In the meantime.
There was Frederick Will
liam, 1640 to 1888, who did
battle 70 unity the country
and who loved to water the
flowers in his palace garden.
His son, Frederick III,
nearly undid all his father
had accomplished. The son
wore a huge, long wig to
cover his hump back and
crowned himself king.
But Frederick Ills son
restored order and 1t was his
son who is remembered as
Frederick the Great.
And In 1888 came William
II, the Kaiser, with the up
turned mustache, who fled
his country and went into
peaceful exile in Holland, to
die at the age of 81, in 1s4l,
as another war swept over

enemy territory expect to live
off the land as much as
possible. This can be done
by simple requisitioning. but
more often payment is made
in military currency which
eventually must be redeemed

The cards were produced
at the Government Printing
Office on a two-color litho-
graphic press in sheets Of SO
Of the 7-cent single cards or
Is of the accent reply paid
variety. The order was for 3
million single and LIS million
double cards. The press
prints two colors at a single
pass but q second trip
through the press is required
for printing on the back of
the paper, as is necessary
with the double card. The
partly printed cards APP
parently resulted from miss
ing either the first or second
impression.
When the partly printed
cards first came to the at
tention of Stanley Hold
ziewich, chief of philatelic,
staff who supervised the New
York first day arrangements,
more than $4,000 first day
cancellations already were on
their way to collectors. In all
probability a few of the error
cards were included.

skiold commemorative stamp

Why are the partly printed

be distributed routinely,
without any effort to remove
them from post office stocks
or to provide additional

her. special assistant to the

explanation:
Postal cards and embossed

different category than post
age stamps. Stamps are Sc

craving and Printing under

insure uniformity. Errors es-

which is not a security press.
Printing methods and
presses are the same as those
in any well-equipped job
shop. Routine printing mis-
takes are likely to run as
high as for commercial work
and a large percentage Of
them are likely to get by the
quick visual inspection.
In the recent past sides of
double cards have been
missed, colors have been
lacking, and cards have been
sold with two message or two
reply sides. These printing
errors have usually been in
sufficient quantity to meet
the needs Of the limited
number Of postal stationery
collectors who really want
them, and they have at
tracted very little attention.
