Planes, official publication of the Aircraft Industries Association says that one of the most difficult single maneuvers performed by naval aviators is the final ap proach and lamhug of modern high speed aircraft aboard a carrier at .sea. During periods of poor visibility rain, snow or fog the physical demands upon both make the task of "setting down" virtually impos sible. As a result, carrier opera tions are usually halted in such World's Best Stamp Faker Has Retired, Cancels All His Forgery Secrets Forever By ItOKKTTK HAIWiKOVK i From there to "copying" stamps .N't A Stuff Correspondent was but a short step. AIX-LKS-BAINS, France (NEA)i e became such an expert at - a.-ven y - one-year-oia jean w his a1 Umt ,ast the British fcperau nas a aim io lame j pniiaU.ljcal Association paid the unique in me woriu-mai oi nemg , u.ppnf.hmfln thousands of dollars for a promise never to reveal his the only man capable of produc ng perfect copies of rare stamps. For more than 40 years, the reproductions of de Sperati gave experienced philatelists all over ihe world a great deal of trouble. There are some 200 million itamp collectors in the world ibouf 600,000 in France. There is i stamp market on the Champs iysees in Paris twice a week mown to many collectors. And ver since the stamp was in 'onted, around 100 years ago, for 'ers and fakers have used heir sometimes prodigious abil ty to forge or "fix" the tiny col- lored squares. The next step is to jresent the rare, the priceless ;tamp before the avid eyes of the collector. De Sperati, in his early youth i salesman in a chain grocery dore in Paris, had always col ected slarnjjs. He also painted mi natures in his spare time., secret process for producing per fect copies of rare stamps. If the secrot leaked out, it was be lieved it might ruin the stamp collecting hobby. He also prom ised never to train any "pupils" in his art. At 71, with eyesight failing and realizing that he could no longer maintain the high standard he set himself, de Sperati handed over all his stamps, many of Mem fin ished products. "I only kept a few for my per sonal satisfaction," he declared re cently. De SPerati has lived In Aix-les-Bains for many years and built himself a comfortable villa called "Moonshine," overlookinp ':e renowned spa.

The first step in the system in volves the use of radar, a very precise unit on shipboard which locates the plane to be landed. It then determines the plane's alti tude and position in relation to the flight deck. These figures are fed into an electronic com niter, which compares the aircraft's po sition with what its landing posi tion should bo, instantaneously de termines the correct course and transmits the information to the device aboard the Incoming plane. The automatic - pilot then directs the plane into the proper flight pattern, determines rate of de scent, corrects eoui'se. etc. I he speed of the carrier Is elec tronically computed and its exact position, its pitch and roll at the instant the plane is to touch the deck, is calculated and transmit ted automatically to the plane s automatic pilot device. In addition io the increase m fleet combat capability, the new system pro mises to bo a real boon to wound ed pilots unable to bring in their planes m any weather. Office D.

JEAN DE SPERATI "I am an art philatelist out things which detract from the stamp's value. He discolors, rejuvenates, age: or repairs a stamp to make it worth 100 or 100,000 times its face value. But faking stamps is a very touchy job, calling (or ex tensive technical knowledge. During the German occupation, 3tamps became a handy way for camouflaging capital. By the same token, with the advent of scores of amateur stamp collectors, the 'akers flourished. The complete V faked stamp however soon dis appeared from rhe market t was too difficult and too costly to reproduce. There are some stamps valued it anything from a few hundred dollars to more than $30,000 apiece. What is more, their values are steadily increasing And as all philatelists know, stamps represent the most valu able portable property in the world, a factor of paramount im portance in times of war and in 'ernational upset. A Reubens or a Rembrandt may e worth "hundreds of thousands jf dollars, but it is not the sort if thing you can -transport acrosf hostile frontier tucked in a vest locket. Whenjde Sperati was hauled be ore the Customs authorities ir '942 for illicit exportation of capi al he had sent a collection of rare st-mips to Port'.i"'d an fined $900 he shook the philate heal world. f am an 'nrt philatelist.' " Ik said. "These stamps which you think are originals are merely conies and I sell them as such." It is true that when he sold his stamps to collectors he al ways wrote "facsimile" on the back in indelible pencil. But these marks were easily rubbed out by the unscrupulous. Enormous sums have' been paid for de Sperati copies by big collectors who thought they were buying the genuine stamps. As in every realm of art, stamr fakers now rarely fool any but the gullible and inexperienced collec tors. Experts today have all the scientific means at their disposal to detect the authenticity of a stamp. Microscopes, ultra - violet rays and the Wood lamp reveal the cleverest forging. And nobody has de Sperati's secret?. Ford's Workers May Have Chance To Buy Stock DETROIT (UP) The Ford Mo tor Co. may give its 46,000 sal iried employes an opportunity to buy common stock in the firm ;oon at half price. Henry Ford II. company presl lent, announced that it was con sidering a plan under which salar ied personnel would get a chance "to purchase shares ... with the :ompany contributing a portion of he purchase price of the stock." But he did not say if the pro ;ram would be the same as that Aich was offered to its 140,000 ZIO United Auto Workers last icmth. The union rejected the "partnership in prosperity" pack ge in favor of a drive for a guar intccd wage, which it won in prin ciple. Ford also announced that salar ed workers would receive addi ional benefits, similar to the 'ringe benefits given the hourly ated employes. They include an improvement 'actor pay adjustment Of $10.40 or wo and one-half per cent, whicti ver is larger, for those earning lonthly bnse salaries of $765 or jss.
