The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing has lost two of its out
standing artists-because private
industry was in position to pay
more for their services than the
Government could. Edward R.
Grove and Charles A. Brooks, both
stamp designers of distinction, have
accepted employment with the Sc
curity Bank Note Co., Philadelphia,
and will leave Washington shortly.
Vivian J. Mokler, postmaster at
Hells Half Acre, Wyo., has ex-
pressed a generous willingness to
accommodate with neat and clear
hand cancellations of covers for
warded for that purpose.
When the new 10-cent airmail
stamp went on sale August 30. 1885,
773 covers were processed. Stamp
sales totaled 36l,015.
The Collectors Club will meet at
1912 Ninth streeth NV, Tuesday
evening at 8.
Italy announces three regular post
age and three airmail stamps mark
ing the 600th anniversary of the
birth of st. Catherine of Siena.
Luxembourg has abandoned plans
for a set of stamps in homage to
President Roosevelt and will bring
out series in memory of Gen.
George Patton instead.
Referring to uniform postage, A.
D. Smith in his Development of
Rates of Postage" 1918, says: The
reform was directly related to the
great reform movement in England
of the second quarter of the 18th
century, and IS a brilliant example
of the application of the deductive
method in politics. Sir Rowland
Hill was a member of a radical
family, remarkable even in those
days for its zeal for reform. 1t was
the ambition of all members of the
family to aid as far as possible the
great movement; and all the BROTH
ers interested themselves in the
study of social and economic ques-
tions, with view to reform and
improvement"
OF course, the word radical 100
years ago meant something like ra-
tionally liberal means now.
October IL to 18 will be National

The exchange of one new ruble
for 10 of the old currency meant
little to the average Russion since
this referred only to ready cash,
not savings. Those with money
on deposit received ruble for ru-
bic up to 1000, actually increas-
ing the value of their savings
since under the new price list, a
ruble buys more. Those with saw
ings in excess of 5000 exchanged
their old currency at the rate OF
two or three of the old for one
of the new, depending on the total
savings. Meanwhile workers will
still draw the same pay, the in
creased purchasing power of the
new rubles being tantamount to
raise in wages.
Using the dollar standard, this
would mean that $50 per week
worker who might have $40 cash
lying around the house would turn
it in and get only $4, thus taking
loss of $50 But the 500 coat
he planned to buy for his wife
would now cost $25, and the but
ter selling at 81 per pound would
now cost only 40 cents. Mean
while, he would still draw $50
weekly in his pay envelope which,
because of lower prices, would Cd
two or three times as far as be-
fore. If he had 5000 in his saw
ings account at the bank, he
would still have 5000 in the bank
after devaluation. This would &C
tually put him much farther
ahead financially. In other words,
the person with the least money
the average worker-would bene-
fit most.

Fondest hope

Contrary to hostile comments
in press and radio, devaluation. of
the Russian ruble has "cut the
average Russians living expenses
by thirds" according to a
United Press dispatch receiving
little publicity in US. newspapers.
Says Alexander Kendrick, Mos
cow correspondent for the Sun
and Times:
'Women's coats have been re-
duced rs percent, and mems ga
loshes 80 percent. Food price re-
ductions average from so to 70
percent. The official price lists
made it clear that clothing, shoes,
textiles and even radio sets and
cameras have been cut in price,
even below the fondest hope"
Chief beneficiaries of the ruble
devaluation have been the work
erS who compose the overwhelm-
ing bulk of the Soviet popula-
ton. Hardest hit were speculat-
ors and hoarders who kept large
amounts of cash on hand for
speedy transactions.

Panama: rude shock

Americans who believed their
State Departments story that the
U. S. is regarded as a protecting
big brother in Central and South
America this week got a rude
shock.
They opened their newspapers
to find that all 81 members of the
Panama National Assembly Con
gress) had voted to reject a treaty
which would have given the U. S.
leases on IA military bases in the
Central American republic, which
is split into two parts by the
Panama Canal.
''The asSembly'S refusal to rati-
fly the pact touched off wild re-
joicing in the capital" the Assocf-
ated Press reported, 'and thouS-
ands of persons marched through
the streets shouting gleefully, 1t
did not pass. 1t did not pass"
The demonstrations were Hnaed
not at the American people, but
at the foreign policy of economic
imperialism and military inter-
vention advanced by President
Truman's Wall St. advisers.
The Panama celebrations were
tempered by the realization that
the big brother" would be around
for some time. Under a wartime
agreement, the U. S. is permitted
to occupy the military bases until
one year after the signing of the
definitive peace treaty"

ended Dec. IL when the govern

pay demands. The strike involved
100000 workers in stores, flour

Vets Not Utilizing Full Benefits Available In
 Government Insurance

Many veterans are not taking full advantage of Government life insurance because they do not un- derStand or know of all the bene- fits which are available. This opinion was expressed by Ken Kenny of the Veterans Admins tration, Anchorage office
 There are seven plans of gov ernment insurance available to both World War I and World War II veterans. The veterans age, number and ages of dependents, amount he can afford to invest in insurance, stability of his employ ment, potential retirement bene- fits and many other individual circumstances should be consid- cred in selecting the insurance plan best suited for each veteran.
 The World War II veterans who have allowed their c. l. insurance to lapse are urged by the Veterans Administration insurance service to apply for reinstatement before January 1, l948, as after that date a physical examination will be re- quired.
 MT. Kenny expects to be in Nome October 21 and P to ad- wise and assist veterans or their dependents in applying for any benefits for which they may be eligible through the Federal laws administered by the Veterans Ad- ministration. Included are govern ment insurance, compensa t n claims, death claims, hospitaliza- tion an deducation under the G. l. bill.
