Farley Defies
Law, Publishes
Book on Stamps
WASHINGTON, June 8 <U.R)
Postmaster General James A. Far-
ley, the philatelists' pal, defied the
law of the land today and publish-
ed pictures of Every American
postage stamp ever issued.
He did it on advice of counsel,
though; counsel of the finest kind,
so it looks like he won't have to be
measured for a striped suit.
His stamp pictures, in a 119-
page book, are handsome, even
though they may be illegal, unlaw-
ful and illegitimate. Nobody has
ever seen the like before.
That's because the criminal code
says reproduction of postage
stamps, by any means whatsoever,
is a serious crime. (It might en-
courage counterfeiting.) The law
suys further that anybody caught
printing such stamp pictures must
be fined $5,000 and tossed into the
nearest federal clink, there to re-
pent for 15 long years.
Nobody dared to print pictures
of U. S. Postage stamps until Far-
ley became postmaster general.
Even he didn't flout the law on his
own responsibility. The postoffice
department conferred with the se-
cret service, whose job it is to
catch counterfeiters.
The secret'service decided the
postoffice ,department was no
crook; that it didn't think Farley
would d6 any counterfeiting for
profit. Postoffice officials said the
legal department of the treasury
issuofi an informal dispensation,
whjch ruled in effect: "Okay Mr.
Farley, go ahead and break the
jaw. We'll make a special excep-
tion for you."
Sells For 25c
His new book, entitled "A De-
scription of United States Postage
Stamps," thus went on sale at the
general printing office for 25 cents
a copy (75 cents for the deluxe edi-
tion). It has a graceful foreword
by the P. M. G. in which he says
he hopes the stamp collectors will
like his little book. It even quotes
the law which says nobody (except
maybe the postmaster general) can
reproduce postage stamps, and
then it describes by word and pic-
ture all the U. S. stamps there ever
were.

"One of the great principles out-
lined by Carnegie is the fact that
nobody ever blames themselves.
They immediately make alibis for
themselves even though they know
they are wrong.
"All of us want to feel impor-
tant, but only 75 or 80 percent of
us ever achieve that feeling. It is
this feeling of self importance that
has painted great pictures, built
great bridges and founded great
nations," Miss Stubbs quoted.
Vital Principles
In speaking of the principles
outlined by Carnegie as to how to
make people like you, Mrs. Stubbs
brought out the following: stop be-
ing interested in yourself and de-
velop the ability to become a good
listener; smile at every opportuni-
ty; remember names; be interest-
ed in what the other person is say-
ing; do not argue and give people
a chance to save their face when-
ever the opportunity arises:

hear Mrs. Stubb's well chosen com-
ments on Carnegie's best seller

Versatile Con
Man Awaiting
His Sentence
NEW YORK, June 8, (UP)--
Hanek i'azner, said by police
to be one of the most versatile
swindlers of his era, awaited sen-
tence today after a plea of guil-
ty to an indictment charging the
theft of about $71,000. He faces
a posible maximum of 10 years
in jail on each of two counts.
The elderly confidence man, a
graduate chemist and a linguist
with 16 languages at his com-
mand, was accused of defrauding
Dr. George Rothenberg of Jama-
ica, N. Y., of more than $50,000
by means of a machine which ap-
peared to turn one-dollar bills in-
to 10-dollar bills. The second court
related to a $17,000 deal trans-
acted with a woman whose name
was not disclosed.
Pazner was the head of a small
but highly efficient band of swind-
lers believed to have obtained
more tran $200,fl()0 in recent
years. After the Rothenberg deal
he and a woman purchased an
automobile so expensive it gave
away his trail. Detectives found
him in Houston, Texas.
On his return here Pazner des-
cribed Houston as a city of in-
nocents waiting to be plucked
and intimated that he had begun
the job with his restaurant and
nightclub Chautau Pavier. He was
taken into custody as he was
preparing to separate an oil
millionaire from some of his
wealth.
The Houston Social Register
carried a long writeup of Pazner
and he was a respected member
of the Chamber of Commerce, the
Kiwanis Club and other organiza-
tions. He carried identification
cards signed by the sheriff and
the Chief of Police.
Pazner already had admitted
the crimes in the police lineup and
his guilty plea was admitted.
Waggoners to
Move Offices
to N. Mexico
FORT WORTH, June 8 (U.R) —A
source close to Guy and Paul Wag-
goner, millionaire Fort Worth
sportsmen, admitted today that the
wealthy brothers were moving
their headquarters from Texas to
New Mexico and plan to leave their
Fort Worth homes.
It was understood that the Wag-
goners themselves had not com-
pleted plans for the move, but they
are arranging to live on a ranch
near Mosquero, N. M. One friend
believed the brothers planned to
develop an extensive stock-breed-
ing farm and to continue raising
race horses.
The great ambition of their fa-
ther, the late W. T. Waggoner, was
to develop a Kentucky Derby win-
ner. Once a horse from his 3-D
farms ran third in the derby. This
year's entrant, Heelfly, finished
sixth.
No information was obtained
concerning the disposition of the
extensive 3-D farms at Arlington,
between Dallas and Fort. Worth.
Earlier in the year, the Waggoners
were reported to be considering
parceling the land into small
farms and selling it to individuals.
The Waggoner fortune, estima-
ted to total between $90,000,000
and $100,000,000, has been admin-
istered from Fort Worth for half a
century. W. T. Waggoner's estate
totaled $60,000,000 when he died.
All persons connected with the
Waggoners said their moving was
prompted by the repeal of horse
race betting.
