Perhaps Helen Catch Durston has
solved the problem Of the design
for the long -awaited and still much
delayed Red Cross blood plasma
campaign stamp. Her sketch Of the
American Red Cross Headquarters
Building, printed in The Star yes
terday, could be adapted for the de-
sired purpose. The captions should
read: THE American Red Cross"
and Give Blood"
A growing demand for a reprint
ing of the scent Korean stamp, re-
moved from the Philatelic agency
sales list after less than two months
circulation, is manifested in a flood
Of letters from all parts Of the coun-
try.
President Paul F. Douglass Of
American University expresses a
majority opinion when, concerning
the sudden withdrawal of the stamp,
he writes: II don't like the impnca-
ton and regret that the incident
has taken place, not only as a citi-
zen but as one interested In stamp
collecting"
The Rev. DR.. Harold H. Lentz,
pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church,
Ashland, Ohio; the Rev. Ralph
Walker, pastor Of the First Bap-
list Church, Portland, Greg, and the
Rev. William Cady, pastor of the
Community Church, Howey-in-tl1e-
Hills, Fla, unite in petition for a
second edition.
Philip j. w. Lee, a Korean Amer
lean student at the University Of
Dayton, declares: Many stamp
collectors who did not have the
chance to buy these stamps will
greatly appreciate the reprint" His
view is shared by Miss Caroline j.
Porter Of Portland, Me-, who says:
i was fortunate enough to get a
few, but when I asked for more for
friends who are interested in stamps
and also in Korea, was bitterly
disappointed" and by Miss Ada B,
Hall OF Nova, Ohio, who, having
spent 10 years in Korea, reports:
If a Korean friend had not sent me
a couple of the stamps would not
have been able even to see one"
