Of the population of 4,246 in Aj-man, the smallest of the Trucial States, only 468 persons are listed as -v'v' Nevertheless, for past several years Ajman has maintained a post- -al service which issues beautiful stamps in English With such un-Arabic portrait subjects as John F. Kennedy and "Babe" As other emirates on the Arabian Peninsula, Ajman produces a dazzling array of stamps prized by philatelists around the world, including many collectors in the United States. The issuing of stamps by the sheikdoms has become a big and lucrative business.

Estimates of the total gross amount connected with the stamp industry involving the sheiks, printers, agents, dealers and collectors run as high as $10 million annually. Originally the Trucial States hit on the, idea to enrich their treasuries and help balance their budgets. New Kind of Piracy But now the Trucial States, once famous for their pirates the name is derived from peace treaties signed with Great Britain are threatened with a new. kind of piracy in stamps. The striking-looking stamps issued by the Arabian Peninsula micro-states are listed by most standard catalogs such as "Stanley Gibbons Postage' Stamp Catalogue" (London), "Scott's Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue" and "Minkus' New World Wide Stamp Catalogue" (New York).

"They, are among the most handsome, interesting and artistic specimens available," says U.S. philatelic expert Robert Obojski. For instance, the stamps issued by Ajman include, the "Champions of Sport" series featuring Ruth, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, George Sisler, Joe DiMaggio and Stan Musial on various denominations. Another popular Ajman issue which ignores the strained U.S.Arab relations depicts members of the Kennedy family on several stamps: President Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy. A set of eight stamps depicting different periods of John Kennedy's life currently costs $4.25 in Los Angeles. U.S. space shots, too, are popular subjects, and one enterprising emirate has combined a picture of John Kennedy with a rocket blastoff in the background a sure-fire sales combination.

Harold Lloyd, Comic, Dies of BY DICK MAIN Tltnti Staff Writer Comedian Harold Lloyd, 77, who bumbled through more than 300 films as a bespectacled victim of life's difficulties, died of cancer Monday at his Beverly Hills home. His films grossed more than $35 million around the world in the 1920s and 1930s and in recent years have brought in more millions in reissued releases.

A pair of lensless spectacles that cost 75 cents helped Lloyd win movie stardom and a fortune. The pseudo horn-rimmed spectacles became his trademark and his usual role of a young and earnest man involved in improbable situations was familiar to millions around the world. In "Safety Last," he played a timed store clerk turned "human fly" who was required to climb a 12-story building. The script called for him to clutch a clock hand at a dizzying height while a mouse ran up his leg. Reputed to be one of Hollywood's, wealthiest stars, Mr.
