STAMP GONGLAVE DELEGATES ARRIVE Bourse Opens at Carlton. Exhibit at National Mu- seum Crowded. BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. Stamp collectors from all parts of the United States are arriving in Washington today for the golden jubilee convention of the American Philatelic Society. Philip Simms War- ren, chairman of the General Com- mittee, this morning estimated that the gathering would be the largest philatelic assembly of its kind in history. Early arrivals crowded the National Museum yesterday afternoon for a preview of the convention exhibition, | | where nearly $1,000,000 worth of | stamps and covers, including selected pages from the albums of President Roosevelt, are on display. The formal opening of both the convention and | the exhibition will be a reception in the museum foyer this evening, with Roscoe B. Martin, president of the | organization, and other officers in the receiving line. Actual business will begin at the Hotel Carlton, Sixteenth street, to- morrow morning, when Secretarv of the Interior Ickes will deliver a key- note address. Meanwhile the convention bourse, also at the Carlton, opened at noon today. It is in charge of J. Harry Jenkins of the Associated Press and brings together more than a score of the leading stamp dealers of the country. Admission is free and a crowd was waiting when the doors opened. The principal topic among members at the registration desk in the Carlton lobby this morning was the results of a recent ballot for officers for 1935- 1937. There were two tickets in the | field and the policy of the organiza- tion depends upon which group has won. But no announcement is ex- pected today. The Credentials Com- mittee, headed by Mayo Dudley of the United States Weekly, still is labor- ing over its report. On the agenda of the convention are such problems as the establish- ment of a national headquarters in Washington, changes in methods of stamp exchange, punitive measures against counterfeiters, the develop- ment of the junior work of the society and plans for next year’s meeting. W. P. A. Strike (Continued From First Page.) Building, where Gen. Johnson has his offices. The union is lending its sup- | port to the relief workers' strike. Johnson's staff canvassed the city | in the foremoon to determine how many persons had obeyed the ulti- matum to either work or get off the | relief rolls. \ The attitude of uncertainty abouh the future of the strike, apparent among union leaders, was enhanced by the absence of George Meany, president of the State Federation of | Labor, who was in Atlantic City con- | ference with A. F. of L. leaders. How- | ever, the “flying squadron” were sent | out early in the forenoon to various construction jobs. Group Offers Union Aid. The union forces today were offered | the aid of organizations representing | the unemployed. David Lasser, president of the; Workers' Unemployed Union, asso- | ciated with the Workers’ Alliance of America, an organization of unem- ployed, conferred with Thomas Mur- ray, chairman of the Strike Com- mittee. Lasser said he was told by Murray | that any members of the Unemployed Union who struck on relief jobs would be assured of unqualified support by union men. Lasser said steps would be taken later today to call off some 8,000 members of the Unemployed Union who are at work as unskilled laborers on Federal financed projects. The Unemployed Council, a similar organization, also offered its aid and received similar assurance. OFFICIALS STAND PAT. | Compromise Plans Are Rejected by W. P. A. Chieftans. By the Associated Press, Rejecting last-minute compromise suggestions, the Roosevelt administra- tion determined today to make a test case of the union fight in New York against the New Deal’s wage scale for works progress projects. Officials watched incoming reports with interest to see how many of the 15,000 union men employed on relief construction in the metropolis had Jjolned the “strike” movement. Officials apparently believed that the trend of events in New York would determine whether the “strike” would spread to other cities or die out. No word came from the White House after the return of President Roosevelt and Harry L. Hopkins, | ‘Works Progress administrator, from a week end cruise, but high officials insisted that the President would oppose further concessions. Hopkins was said to feel that once initial protests were over, the work- relief scale would be accepted by labor in the rest of the country. It ranges from $19 to $94 a month, depending | on locality and type of work. The President’s stand that those | refusing work-relief jobs would be cut off the dole was reaffirmed yes- terday by Aubrey Williams, assistant Works Progress aedministrator. He contended that what the adminis- tration calls its “security wage” ‘would provide almost as much income in the long run as the prevailing wage. He said much of the work done under prevailing wages was unsteady. $I00 TO ANYONE WHO CAN FIND ANY WATER IN —t Martin’s Trim and Body Green Will not fade.

ANTA BARBARA, Calif., August 12.—Two of the stormiest per- sonalties of the entertainment world selected the peaceful Franciscan Mission for their marriage here today There Marie Jeritza, vivid Viennese singer, will become Mrs. Winfield (Winnie) Sheehan in a union that took the California movie world by complete surprise, Few knew of the plans of the diva and the abdicated motion picture monarch prior to Saturday afternoon, when they filed the customary legal notice of intention to wed. The couple said a dozen friends will | attend. Mina Gombell, actress, will be bridesmaid, and Edwin Burke, & writer, best man. Sheehan and his bride will leave Wednesday for a honeymoon in Europe. The blond Valkyrie of the opera came here to be tested for pictures— and not at Sheehan’s studio. Mean- while, he was the center of much at- tention, but it was financial, not romantic. A studio merger was effected. With it came a threstened division of Shee- han's authority, Jong absolute. He said he thought this would be im- practical, and resigned. Mme. Jeritza and Sheehan both Tose to prominence in recurrent ex- plosions of verbal and often legal fire- ‘works. Vital and vigorous, the diva is sur- rounded with legends — how she “clowned” at the stately Metropolitan Opera in New York; how she bolted and barred the star's dressing room in the Vienna opera, during her absence, because she assertedly considered her- self the permanent star, there or not; how she once made a curtain speech accusing a tenor of being “not nice to me”; and so on, without end.

Simkhovitch, to submit to a freezing experiment at the hands of Dr. Ralph S. Willard. She termed the experiment “incredible.” PLAN FOR FREEZING MAN IS PUSHED Doctor to Conduct Experiment‘ Despite Protests, He States. By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., August 12— Dr. Ralph S. Willard and Stephen | Simkhovitch proceeded with their plans for a “human icicle” experi- ment in the face of family and official | protests. “Simkhovitch has volunteered and I intend to continue with my plans,” said Dr. Willard, young monkey freezing bio-chemist. “I have my own life to lead and if it is to be sacrificed for science it won't make any difference,” com- mented Simkhovitch, 34 - year - old Hollywood writer. The scientist plans to freeze Sim- khovitch into a state of suspended animation and later revive him.
