PASS ON UTIllTlES' Bl](lKKEEPINGPlAN Certain Methods Are Decid- ed by Securities and Ex- I change Commission. By the Associated Press. The Securities and Exchange Com- mission has decided conservatively on the extent to which it should require utility companies to adopt certain bookkeeping methods. But this conservatism has not pre- vented the commission from agreeing, in three different opinions, that the method in question is far from perfect. Question at Issue, ‘The question was whether debts still owed on bonds should be provided for annually out of earnings or whether they could be paid off by charging them against a surplus created through a valuation write-up made by an af- filiate company. The commission decided it would prefer the first method as being fairer to stockholders, but three commission- ers held that all that was legally re- quired was for the company to dis- close what happened. This was done. ‘The other two commissioners in- sisted the balance sheet should be changed so as to show in a different way what actually happened—to wit, in the opinion of one commissioner, that the surplus really was much less than appeared. Disagreement Disclosed. Thereupon, following an unusual procedure for public agencies of this character, it disclosed publicly that | there had been a disagreement, and (at the same time noted the facts | about the company in an unmistakable manner. Commissions usually simply report final decisions. The commission also followed through on another policy—that of | emphasizing certain facts, even though it felt it could not legally change the sijuation. This is on the basis of the act’s theory that puhhmy will protect the investor. | DEARTH OF BANKING Fixing Deposit Insurance at $5,000 Maximum Only “Cer- tain” of Passage. By the Associated Press. Washington fiscal authorities be- lieve there will be a dearth of new banking legislation at the next ses- sion of Congress. At the moment it appears to them the only measure almost certain to go through will be an amendment to the banking act of 1933 setting the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s | maximum liability at $5,000. This was | hinted at the recent convention of the American Bankers' Association by Leo T. Crowley, chairman of that agency. It is also considered very likely some consideration will be given to con- solidating the offices of the controller of the currency and the F. D. I. C. Some amendments to the Federal | Reserve act might also be sought with the view to placing administra- tion of the open market policy of the Reserve banks in the hands of the board rather than in the banks them- selves, WOULD USE GAS TAX FEES ONLY ON ROADS { Road Builders Find Approxi- mately $200,000,000 Yearly I Turned to Relief Needs. By the Associated Press. A vigorous effort to return gasoline i tax and motor vehicle license fees to | State road-building funds is being | made by the American Road Builders’ lAssociauon. it was learned yesterday. | It is expected that the association's | fight to divert these moneys from | emergency relief and other purposes for which they now are frequently used will be crystallized at the an- 1 nual convention early next year. Highway officials declare that va- rious States are now diverting ap- { proximately $200,000.000 a year from ‘(hese sources to other uses. If this program is continued, they say, road improvements will be jeopardized, and ultimately these States will be unable ! to share Federal appropriations. The general convention theme will | be: Continuation of an adequaté high- | way program, use of highway revenues ! for highway purposes only and con- tinuation of Federal appropriations for highways. 'EXCHANGE FINISHES LEGISLATION SEEN| In commemoration of the 15th C, NOVEMBER 25, International Red Cross conference, October 1, Japan brought out the four stamps shown on this cover re- ceived by E. Irving Fulton, Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The 1145 and 6s values are of vertical format 23 by 27mm., the 3s and 10s denominations horizontal 27 by 23mm. Printed in sheets of 20 on unwatermarked white paper, they were designed by Messrs. Yutaka Yoshia and Teizo Kasori. The cross in each instance is red, and the back- ground colors are: 112s, green; 3s, voilet; 6s, red, and 10s, blue. BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. The much-debated plan for a series of stamps in tribute to the ‘“neg- lected” Presidents, including James Buchanan, Martin Van Buren, Ches- ter A. Arthur and -others, remains stalled. Recent reports to the New York Sun and the Boston Evening Transcript indicated that the project had been revived and a Washington correspondent wrote to a Western stamp paper, “There is no doubt but the Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing is working on models or frames for the stamp designs.” But. in point of fact, nothing has been done since before President Roosevelt's excur- sion to Hawaii last July. Collectors, however, should not be overconfident. The unwanted set, sooner or later, may be authorized, in spite of—or perhaps even because of—the protests against it. A second printing of the imperforate 1-cent Yosemite souvenir sheets has been ordered. ‘bringing the total edi- tion to 600,000. Elmer C. Pratt, writing in the Cam- den Courier-Post, outlines philatelic possibilities for 1935, as follows: “Probably the first will be the stamp | commemorating the tercentenary of the founding of Connecticut. The set | of pictorials showing the natural and | architectural beauties of the city of Washington are almost sure. The continuation of the National Parks stamps to include many of the other beauty spots not shown in the first 10 stamps is another very likely issue.” | The Essex County Post of the Amer- ican Legion has petitioned the Post Office Department for a stamp to show Whiteface Mountain, N. Y. A stamp in recognition of the 75th anniversary of the birth of Edward MacDowell, American composer, has been asked by the National Federa- tion of Music Clubs for December 18, 1935. ‘The department is sald to be con- sidering booklets of airmail stamps in the 6-cent denomination and also for the 16-cent airmail-special delivery combination. George B. Sloane, writing in stamps magazine, says: “Rumor is rife in philatelic circles regarding the un- usual number of errors which have been turning up with a high degree of regularity in recent months. “The Wisconsin stamp has been seen imperforate horizontally and im- perforate vertically. The 2-cent Na- tional Parks (Grand Canyon) stamp exists part-perforate and also im-| perforate. The 5-cent (Yellowstone) stamp exists imperforate vertically and also imperforate. “In addition to the above, a full sheet of 200 of the Mother's day stamps, flat-plate printing, will soon be on the market. * * * The stamps are without gum. “Much criticism has been directed against the present administration of the Post Office Department over the alleged practice of distributing ‘pres- entation’ sheets of recent commemora- tive stamps in imperforate form to post office and other high Washington officials.” Miss Emma D. T. Gerds. cashier, Milwaukee post office, says: “It is dif- ficult to make comparisons, but based on our experience at the post office, I feel assured that the practice of stamp | collecting has far outstripped all other hobbies in popularity. In fact, our postmaster frequently Temarks that philately, as the hobby is known, has really reached the proportions of a “PULSE FEELING” Stock Market Soon to Give Re- port on What High Finance Really Wants. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 24 —The New York Stock Exchange expects to start next week tabulating replies re- DAY OF NOVEMBER.4ceived in its questionnaire sent out | correc! recently to members and interests af- | filiated with them. It was a “pulse feeling” expedition, designed to give the exchange authorities an insight into what the financial community and the public were thinking about Stock Exchange matiers and to gather suggestions. Something like 700 replies have been received and about 900 were ex- pected in all. The picture gleaned from the analysis and tabulation of these replies will serve as a guide for the exchange authorities in formulat- ing their policies, especially in public relations. CASH BUSINESS JUMPS IN RETAIL CLOTHING By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 24.—A sub- stantial expansion in cash business of retail clothing firms and an improve- ment in collections on credit sales were noted today in a survey made by the National Association of Retail Clothiers and Furnishers. Collections average almost 15 per | cent better than a year ago and in many sections of the country cash business has expanded to the detri- |ment of credit sales, the sufleyl showed. Seventy-four per cent of the re- | ports indicated better collection con- ditions than a year ago; 21 per cent showed conditions to be about on a par and 5 per cent of the reports said collections were not as good. The improvement was greater in the West and Middle West, although collections elsewhere wers running ahead of lu(. e (3 major industry.” The Philatelic Agency stock of the 2-cent Red Cross stamp has been ex- hausted, and the same is reported of the Lindbergh airmail stamp booklets. Indications are that the Maryland tercentenary issue soon will become unavailable, and the 10, 15 and 20 cent airmails likewise are supposed to be running short. The Record Stamp Club, Philadel- phia, formally has appealed for a tion of conditions in the phila- telic agency. In a resolution sub- mitted to Third Assistant Postmaster General Clinton B. Eilenberger the organization asks that the office be “supplied with a sufficient staff to fill all orders within one week of receipt.” More careful selection of stock and an adequate supply of each issue, like- wise, the club says, should be ar- ranged. Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral S. W. Purdum is asking the “co- operation of all departments in build- ing up the permanent archives of the Federal Post Office.” He says: “Spe- cial consideration is being given to the collection and assembly in the department of postal data of an his- torical nature. The object will be w collec'. .such data as should be pre- records, early maps, pho- ws’r phlc represenuuonl of the serv- ice in any of its features, local postal histories, old reports and personal recollections.” No mention is made in Mr. Pur- dum’s statement of the stamps from the Berne offices of the International Postal Union which the department has been withholding from the Smith- sonian Institution, but it is supposed | that they also will find temporary if not permanent place in the archives to which he refers. A new system for the collection and destruction of printed waste in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing has been perfected under the manage- ment of John M. Smith, superintend- ent, Postage Stamp Division. All ink-smeared paper and faint im- pressions now are collected in bags at the end of each day and mmumusnfit‘ —Star Staff Photo. mittee” assigned to that duty. and the rule applies to the Plate Printing Division, as well as the branch in which Mr. Smith hu particular juris- diction. No further “leaks” of philatelic curi- osities are expected. The last of these, more than 10 years ago, recently created a disturbance in stamp circles and led to the present arrangements for the burgau's protection. A new United States revenue type is noted. It is a documentary, sur- charged “silver tax.” Five dollar United States stamps in used condition are selling in London at 5 shillings each, 12 shillings per pair and 17 shillings 6 pence in strips of three. ‘The new Philippine stamps prob- ably will not go on sale until after January 1. The jubilee stamps of Great Britain, honoring King George and Queen Mary, will include four denomina- tions—13d, 1d, 1%2d and 2%zd. There are two denominations of the mourning stamps of Yugoslavia in homage to King Alexander. They are of the type of 1931, 175d. deep rose, and 350d, ultra- marine and carry | a black border, similar to that used by Belgium for King Albert and by Germany for President von Hindenburg. The first stamps to represent Leo- pold III, King of thlf Belgians, as a » ‘eigning monarch have appeared in Brussels. They are semi - postals for the benefit of the War Invalids Club. The values are: 75¢ plus 25c, moss green, and 1fr plus 25c, red. Editions ran to only 50,000 copies each, but it is expected that the same desigm. will be employed in a new regular series to be released shortly. Ecuador has a | new 2-centavo is- sue of radical modernistic de- sign.. The color is green, and the composition in- cludes a winged post horn and a portion of a tele- graph pole. Czechoslovakia may have a special set for the international skiing meet soon to be held at High Tatra. The new national exposition stamps of Brazil were completely sold out on the day of release. Russia announces a new airpost se- Ties as follows: 5k, red orange, dirigi- ble at hangar; 10k, violet brown, ship taking off; 20k, black-brown, land- scape with mooring mast as seen from ship. and 30k, dirigible against map of Russia. Salvador has a new 2c stamp, approximately square in shape and olive brown in color. The design shows the police barracks, San Salva- |dor, in a circular frame, and the triangular coat of arms, familiar by years of use, is conspicuous for its absence. ‘Trinidad and Tobago will adopt decimal coinage January 1 and the change will be reflected in the stamps of the colony. The required new set will include: lc, First Boca; 2c, Im- perial College of Tropical Agricuiture; 3c, Mount Irvine Bay, Tobago; 6c, dis- covery of the asphalt ' ke by Sir Walter Raleigh, 1595: 8c, Queen's Park, Savannah; 12c, Town Hall, San Fernando; 24c, Government House; 48c, Memorial Park, and 72c, Blue Lagoon. Granada has a beautiful new set of pictorials with portraits of King George.

Germany has two commemorative mmmumur-nu 1934—PART FIVE. the birth of the poet, Priedrich \wnI Schiller. The values are 6 and 12rpf. The designs show a profile portrait surrounded by laurel leaves. Born November 10, 1759, the bard died May 9, 1805. He occupies a permanent and unchallenged place in the Teu- tonic hall of fame for his dramas and histories as well as for his beautiful verse. Sweden announces a series of stamps to mark the 500th anniversary of the establishment of the first Na- tional Parliamént, January 10. The designs are by Prof. Olle Hjortzberg and the complete list, as reported, is as follows: 5-ore, old law courts; 10- ore, exchange; 15-ore, the Great Church; 25-ore, the House of Nobility; 35-ore, the Houses of Parliament, and 60-ore, nobleman, clergyman, burgher, peasant and coat of arms. Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith car- ried several stamped covers on his recent epoch-making flight. They were postmarked in Australia, Suva, Honolulu and Oakland. The post office at Kollock, S.

Of the 2-cent value in the same series there are “copper red,” bright rose-red, brown- red and dark brown-red varieties. The late Gen. von Hindenburg, President of the German Republic, was “protector” of the Iposta Philatelic Exposition, Berlin, in 1930. ‘The charity stamps of Luxemburg, | 1927 and 1928, are supposed to have | been purchased almost en bloc by a syndicate of dealers immediately after release. i There is & Christmas Island in the | Indian Ocean, under the control of | the Straits Settlements and a Christmas_ Island in the Pacific| Ocean, considered part of the Brit- {ish colony of Gilbert and Ellice Islands.
