Funeral services for Lieut. Peter Lehman, son of ex-Governor Herbert H. Lehman, who now heads UNRRA, have not yet been set, his family said today, Lieut. Lehman was killed in Britain when he crashed during a training flight. It was learned today that young Lehman had been recommended for the Distinguished Flying Cross, and, it is expected that the award will be made posthumously. Rejected by the U.S. Air Force, because he was married, Lieut. Lehman enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and later transferred to the U.S. Air Force when its eligibility rules were changed.
