NEW ISSUE Of
POSTAL STAMPS
AVOIDS ERRORS

Washington, Aug. 16.-(By AS
sociated Press. Wv. Irving Glov
er, third assistant postmaster gen
eral, replied today to criticisms re.
ported in some quarters to the
proposed changes in designs OF
postage stamps which the post
master general now has under
consideration.
Mr.. Glover in a formal state
ment said the impression seems to
prevail that the new issue of
stamps was proposed because of a
desire of stamp collectors for new
designs, when on the contrary
changes were under consideration
in the designs entirely because the
best interests of the service war
rant it.
I'm response 20 appeals of the
postmaster general for suggestions
for the betterment of the postal
service, thousands of letters sug-
gesting new issue of postage
stamps have been received from
employees of the postal service,
who have pointed out the advis-
ability of a more distinct yarta-
tion in designs for postage
stamps, as we'll as colors that do
not possess striking similarity"
he said. "The department knows
that thousands of dollars in reve-
nue. are lost yearly in the postal |
service, due to striking similarity |
In stamps, as well as little devia-
tion in color, which prevents pos
tai employees from detecting short
paid matter.
This liability to error is in
creased by cancellation which Oft
en- obliterates the numeral on the
stamps to such an extent that err
rors cannot be detected promptly.
In fact, the present issue bears so
many features alike that errors
now made in handling mail with
these stamps attached are in the
of cases excusable. Par
ticularly is this true in many of
the larger postoffices, where arti- /
Picial light is necessarily being :
used.
"Inasmuch as the stamps from i
)ne to seven cents denomination {
pear the portrait of Washington /
md the eight cent to So bear the L
portrait of Franklin, postal clerks
annot easily distinguish the de- C
domination in the rapid handling b
# mail because of the lack of dis n
inctive features" i,
