Attack by Morse
Places Johnson
In New Crossfire
Washington - (UPD - Sen.
Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore.) yes
terday leveled a new attack
at the Demochatic congres
sional leadership and thus
placed Senate Democratic
Leader Lyndon B. Johnson
(Tev.) in a new crossfire of
criticism from conservative
Republicans and liberal Dem
ocrats.
Both flanks have recently
stepped up charges that the
Johnson-led Senate has not
acomplished much so far this
year. But in the main the
, rangy Texan has shrugged
them off in silence public
ly at least.
Morse, in a speech yester
day at Bronxville, N. Y., as
serted the Democratic leader
ship is "more afraid of bad
publicity in a reactionary
press than they are 'afraid of
going back on campaign
promises." .
As a result, he told an Am
ericans for Democratic Action
audience at Sarah Lawrence
college, "the Ufeblood has
been drained out" of the "lib
eral" election victory because
"the liberals in congress have
not stood by their guns."
The Oregon Democrat said
the liberals in congress al
lowed themselves "to be ren
dered toothless by the same
conservative-reactionary coa
lition which has dominated
congress for decades."
He said the voters who fa
vored the Democrats last year
might change their minds in
1960 if the leadership of John
son and Speaker Sam Ray
burn (Tex.) produces an "out
put no different" from a con
gress led by Senate Republi
can Leader Everett M. Dirk
sen (111.) and House GOP
Leader Charles A. Halleck
(Ind.)
Johnson declined to com
ment on the attack.

Privately Issued Stamp
Among Most Valuable
One of the most valuable
stamps ever used in the
United States is a two-cent
item that was manufactured
and sold foruse only in
Charleston, S. C. Its value to
day is listed at better than
$17,000.
It is a bluish stamp with a
design consisting of a series
of tiny circles forming an ob
long about the words "Beck
man's City Post Paid 2 Cts."
It was issued in 1860, shortly
before the outbreak of the
Civil War, and while others
are known that were put out
by the same firm for a per
iod of ten years earlier, it is
the most valuable.
But the value of many of
the others is quite consider
able, too, and none of them
are worth less than $30 or
$40, the majority of them hav
ing a value well into the hun
dreds of dollars.
The City Post of Charleston
was owned by at least five
men during an 11-year period,
the owner's name being listed
DEER-AND-DOE DESIGN GLASSWARE HIGHLY PRIZED
Of the various kinds of
American glassware of inter
est to collectors, one of the
more valuable and among the
easiest to distinguish is the
one known as the "deer and
pine tree" or "deer and doe"
design.
It is found mainly in
pressed glass "and was prob
ably produced in the 1870s
and a little later. The quantity
produced must have been con
siderable, for despite its
value,, it is not at all uncom
mon in secondhand and sal
vage shops.
The design's principal fea
ture is an oblong panel con
taining two deer and some
times what looks like an at
tempt at a pine tree as well.
For example, on the gob
lets, which are among the
most collectible pieces, there
are four such panels. While
the lip of the goblet is round,
its sides have a flattened ef
fect, making the piece almost
squareish. On two of the op
posite panels the pine tree is
'VINGT-COUPS USED WIDELY. IN 19TH CENTURY
The modern machine pistol,
used with such effect by
ground forces in World War
II and Korea, had its counter
part nearly a century ago in
the form of a French re
volver.
The weapon was a Le Page
"vingt-coups," or 20-shot job
that threw a lead bullet of
seven millimetre size and with
just as great accuracy as the
revolvers of today. At any
rate, recently, I saw a target
clustered, with one of these
old guns, and though it could
have been done more rapidly
with a modern weapon, " it
couldn't have been done more
accurately.
A revolver could carry so
many charges by having two
cylinders, or rather one
cylinder with inner and outer
rows of chambers. There were
also two barrels the upper one
for the outer chambers and
the lower for the inner. Those
on the weapon I say were a
trifle over six inches, but
usually, or so I am told, on
these weapons the barrel
length was somewhat shorter,
since the prime consideration
Estate Left To
Help Needy Boys
Portland - (UPD - A Russian
immigrant who died of cancer
May 17 has left his estate to
help needy youths get an edu
cation. Samuel Edeland, a tailor,
migrated from Russia many
years ago and lived -in New
York, southern Oregon and
Portland. He was in his 60s.
His will was filed in Pro
bate Court Thursday, asking
that the estate of nearly
$5,000 be used to educate poor
boys at Jesuit High school
near Beaverton. The will
asked that boys- of all creeds
and colors be eligible for the
scholarships, to be awarded
by school officials. Recipients
will be asked to repay the
money, if possible, to keep
the fund self-perpetuating.

in addition to Beekman. And
it is quite possible that there
may have been another owner
too, since today the owner
ship of private mail carrying
firms can usually be determ
ined only by the discovery
of one of their stamps.
The point is a good one to
remember, for whoever finds
a privately printed stamp
should not assume that just
because it is not listed in any
catalogue, it therefore has no
value. In fact, not all the
stamps issued by any of the
old private carriers are neces
sarily known.
An example is found in a
variation of the $1.7,000 item
mentioned above. It is the
same stamp, except for the
name of "Martin's City Post,"
and has a listed value of
around $2,000. When one of
these latter was found a few
years ago, but reddish rather
than blue, the finder sold it
quickly for $1,500 despite its
relatively poor condition.

from the other two.
Usually this design is found
in clear glass. However, it ap
peared in other colors also. I
have seen the goblets in blue,
yellow, apple green and ame
thyst. It has also been report
ed in amber and rose.
The prices usually received
for the clear glass goblets are
in the $10-to-$15 range. Those
in color bring much more.
One in amethyst that I saw
recently sold readily for $35,
and the buyer commissioned
the purchase of any others in
the same color in order to
make up a set.
Another piece in this' pat
tern, and which is sometimes
found in company with the
goblets, is a tray. Those I
have seen measure about 10V?
by 15 inches . and have one
central panel that may be
with or without the pine tree,
The value of the tray is from
$30 up, depending on whether
it is in clear glass or colored.

quantity of shots that could
be fired before reloading.
The piece, was loaded
through a loading gate, and
the empty cases were ejected
by means of a rod along the
side of the barrels whicl were
marked with the name and
Paris address of the manu
facturer. '
Though these weapons gen
erally came equipped witn
wooden grips, those on the
one I saw were of ivory
carved with Indian heads on
either side. A substantial num
ber of these guns were used
in the Far West by French
travellers and gold seekers
who considered it a superior
weapon for use against In
dians; The value of these guns to
day runs up to $200 for the
ordinary model in good con

Operation Plans
Janrick of Oregon, Inc. has
cancelled plans to start a
helicopter and fixed-wing air
craft charter service and
maintenance operation at
Medford airport this year, a
spokesman has reported.
"janrick will have no fur

described future plans as "in

The Medford city council
had authorized lease contracts
with Janrick and one other
operator for space southeast

Janrick contract was never

agreement was the reason
