The explanation of Starr suc cess as a collector is simple, ine family had moved from Middle town to Millersburg when the youth expressed his admiration for Lincoln, began saving clip pings and other information, and a hobby was born. Members of his family aided him and in a short while the first Lincoln scrapbook was completed By the time Starr had completed his high school education the col lection had grown quite large. The Lincoln student pursued his hobby on his own initiative. His grandfather had served with the Union Army in the Civil War but that was not an influence. Starr learned early in life the general story of the martyred President and it profoundly moved him.

His youthful energy and unremitting acquisitiveness encouraged him to earn more of Lincoln and so the hobby was developed. Recognized Authority Today Starr is recognized as one of the most authentic of all writers on the life of Lincoln. A survey of his Lincoln library shows that it contains 2950 Lin coln books and pamphlets; 65 leaflets; 900 stories of Lincoln; 160 mimeographed and typed items; 120 Lincoln excerpts from the Congressional Record; 60 pro grams; 10 photostats; 150 photos and pictures; 200 Lincoln maga zines; 80 volumes of magazine articles; 35 scrapbooks; 100 col lateral books and pamphlets not entirely on Lincoln; 130 miscel laneous items; 50 relics and souvenirs. The library lists 6336 pieces for a total of 13,700 items, Included in the Starr collections are many volumes, folders and writings and recently Jay Monag. han.

bibliographer of the Illinois State Historical Society, who care fully examined the library, said that he did not recall finding some of the pamphlets in any other Lincoln library in the country which he has checked. One of the first acts of Starr, when he determined to study the life of the great American, was to delve into his religious life. He made a list of all known living associates of Lincoln at that time and then sent letters to them. In his collection now are more than 70 original letters dealing with the subject of Lincoln's religion. Has Scores of Letters Similarly, Starr followed the idea'Sn developing other subjects with the result that he today pos sesses scores of priceless letters and papers from men personally associated with Lincoln.

The recognized writer of scores of books, pamphlets and articles concerning various phases of Lincoln's life, Starr has only once stepped outside his role as a writer of facts concerning Lincoln. Since youth, when he left school, Starr has been employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in various clerical capacities and it was only natural that he should inquire as to Lincoln's activities covering railroads. Accordingly in 1927, he caused to be published his first full length book, "Lincoln and the Railroads." The story of Lincoln's, connection with the industry was published by Dodd, Mead Company. The book brought Starr another commission, the only book not pertaining to Lincoln. Railroads in 1929 were marking their centennial anniversary and the knowledge obtained by Starr in writ ing the story of Lincoln and the railroads led the company to ask Starr to write the centennial story.

"One Hundred Years of American Railroading" is the lone writing outside the Lincoln field. Judges Values Quickly Few collectors, it has been said, have so thoroughly assimilated the important books on Lincoln as has Starr. He is so well informed that he is now able to skim through a book and immediately judge the value of its contents. He is an expert who can discuss intelligently any phase of the many faceted Lincoln theme. Starr is not known persomlly by many in the Lincoln fraternity.

His contacts have been by mail. He is a member of the Abraham Lincoln Association, the Illinois Historical Society, the Indiana Historical Society, the Lincoln Fellowship of Pennsylvania, the Allied Airmen Wreck Nazi Planssteelton Officer To Bolster Lines London, Feb. 12, (IP) A effort to move men and materiel to bolster Nazi lines sagging under Field Marshal Montgom ery offensive near Kleve was wrecked yesterday by British and American planes braving hazard' oust flying weather. Aerial attacks destroyed more than 1300 pieces of enemy equipment The Germans trusted to a low cloud cover to aid them in a mass sneak movement but Allied fight ers and fighter bombers operated under or through infrequent breaks in the overcast and broke up the reinforcement attempt. Most of the action was in a tri angle north and east of the Ruhr Before the weather closed in en tirely late yesterday afternoon the airmen had destroyed or damaged 201 railway locomotives, 951 freight cars, 139 motor vehicles and 46 barges.

More than half of the locomotives were listed at de finitely destroyed.

C. Fairbanks of Ithaca, N. RAF Tempest pilot.

Other air operations were limit ed by the weather to an attack on an oil depot at Dulmen, southwest of Munster, Germany, by 125 U. Liberators.
