Monroe Stump Designed
For Release December 2
By jones Waldo Fowcett

Postmaster General Arthur
E. Summerfield last Tuesday
announced that the scent
stamp in the new regular Sc
ries~ will portray James Mon
roe and that it will be released
at Fredericksburg. Va, De-
cember 2, the 131st anniyer-
sary of the proclamation Of
the Monroe Doctrine.
The size of the Monroe ad-
hesive will be OTIS by 0.87.
1t will reproduce a likeness Of
the fifth President by Rem
brandt Peale. now in Monroe's
law Office at Fredericksburg
, a Monroe museum in recent
years. The color of the stamp
will be blue.
In authorizing commemora-
tion of the Monroe at this time
and in this manner. the Post
master General acknowledges
the logic of the plan to pay
stamp homage to the less we'll
known but still very important
heroes of the American Revo-
luton. Washington and JEFF
ferson obviously stand in little
need of philatelic honors. The
stories of their lives and their
services are familiar to the
generality of citizens. In the
cases of Nathan Hale, Paul
Revere, Caesar Rodney. Abigail
Adams and Patrick Henry,
however, neglect rather than
proper appreciation has been
the rule. The official attitude
of the past has been illustrated
by putting on a half-cent
sticker the portrait of the pa
triot spy who died regretting
that he had but one life to
give for his country. Phila-
telic homage to Lafayette and
Betsey Ross was delayed for
more than 20 years.
Monroe, more fortunate
than these worthless, was rep
resented on the handsome s.

Escher's wood engravings
and Autographs are executed
with impressive technical skill,
which is not uncommon. Their
remarkable feature is their
subject matter. Mr.. Escher
has! he says. "a lively interest
in the mathematical laws of
nature" which laws have been
his guiding principles. An ex-
hibition of his work has just
closed at the City Museum in
Amsterdam, as a point of
contact between art and math-
ematics."
A review of the Escher col
lection will be given in The

Then, by cashing the king,
