Rotogrovure Models Are Received
As Stump Controversy Continues
By james WoIdo Fowcett

The Scranton rotogravure
models for the scent Statue
Of Liberty stamp reached the
Post Office Department on
Thursday. three days later
than had been promised. They
were submitted by Charles F..
Brooks, representative of the
Eureka Specially Co., and
were received by Assistant
Postmaster General Albert j.
Robertson. A conference in
the Office of the latter was at
tended by Associate Director
Henry j. Holtzclaw and Dom
aid r. Mcleod, head of the
Engraving Division, Bureau of
Engraving and Printing; Rob-
ert E. Fellers, director of the
Philatelic Division, Post Of
fee Department, and others.
The models offered by the
bureau on January 4 also were
before the meeting. Both en-
graved and rotogravure proofs
were studied through high
powered magnifying glasses.
The resultant discussion lasted
several hours. When the con-
ference adjourned, it was an
nounced to waiting news
papermen that no decisions
had been made. Subsequently
word went through the grape
vines" of both the Post Of
flee Department and the Bu-
reau Of Engraving and Print
ing that the Scranton models
had been found "disappoint-

DR.. Oswald L. Harvey, Stats
tician in the Department of
Labor and skilled philatelist.
has written to The Star as
follows: Three points are in
volved in current discussions
concerning the proposal to
print United States postage
stamps by Photographic meth
DDS. rather than by hand
engraving, and they should be
considered separately.
THE three points are: Cost,
security and beauty.
1T is argued that photo
graphic methods are cheaper
because they eliminate the
need for hand-engraving of
dies and their transfer to
plates. This is true. but, in
view of the millions of stamps
printed, the saving is negli-
gible. Probably the returns
from the Philatelic Agency
alone compensate for the
additional cost.
Furthermore. the engravers
Of stamps also prepare the
engravings for our paper cur
rency, which will continue to
be hand-engraved. Abolition
Of hand-engraving for stamps
will only reduce the number of
men engaged in preparing the
dies. Some of them will have
to be retained. But then the
question will be: Who is left
to train the hand-engravers of
the future?' If they make the
trade obsolescent, who will
want to go into it?
THE security problem is not
too serious. There can be no
question that forgeries can be
detected in photogravure. but
not so easily as in hand
engraving. The hand-engrav-
ing is like a painting or an
etching in which the line is
peculiar to the individual
artist and can be easily de-

charges that the Eisenhower ad-
ninistration had kicked Com

security risks out Of the Gov

Senator Johnston told q DEM

employing the technique Of "the
big lie" in Il .Fascfst-type" at
tack on the Democrats, and the
Vice President was disgracing

Mr.. Nixon's assertions. Sena-
tor Johnston declared, don't jibe
with the sworn testimony Of
Phillip Young, Civil Service Conn

pointed by President Eisenhower
to supervise the Government

Derogatory Information.
Senator Johnston said Mr..
Young admitted that they had
merely reviewed the personnel
records Of all Government en-
ployes and found information OF
a derogatory nature In the files
of 2,400 out Of 2.5 million" and
more than half of these had re-
signed, died or retired before the
information was discovered.
"We later proved that more

people who were hired by the
new Eisenhower administration,

James Roosevelt, whose 18th

handily despite his Reputation

Committee. Is tabled q shoo-in
to succeed Mr.. Yorty in the
2-to-l Democratic district. The
eldest son Of the late President

wife accused him Of infldelities.
He denied the charges. Mr..
Roosevelt Is opposed by Republi-
can Theodore r. Owings, q less
experienced campaigner.
The Republicans are more
hopeful Of toppling Representa-
tive Robert L. Condop Of the 6th
district. His opponent Is John
r. Baldwin, jr. Some neutral
sources believe Mr.. Condor may
squeak through In the heavily
Democratic and union minded
district despite the security
risk pinned on him by the
Atomic Energy Commission -lln-
justly. Mr.. Condor contends.
There is q real swing to the
Democratic Party at this mo-
ment." says Mrs. Elizabeth

anything. But they're not re-
peating their sweeping pre-pri-

Republicans see a shortage OF
issues in the forthcoming con-
gressional elections, while the
Democrats think there are more
than enough to go around.
There are no great burning
issues this year" Robert
Humphreys, campaign director
of the Republican National Com
mittee, told a Women's National
Press Club luncheon yesterday.
"Our problem is that we think
most voters are fairly well salts
fed with the government they
are getting out of Washington.
In fact, there is a considerable
amount Of complacency. Our job
is to get people to vote. We
think, and surveys show, that if
they vote they viii vote Repubh-
can."
Fritchey Disagrees.
Clayton Fritchey, deputy di-,
rector of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee and editor Of

The chief issues, he believes. are

The Bricker amendment came
in for considerable discussion at
a luncheon meeting of the Wom-
ems Auxiliary to the District
Medical Association held yester-
day in the District Of Columbia
Room in the Capitol.
Senator GoldWater. Repub-
lican, of Arizona. substituted for
Senator Ferguson, Republican.
of Michigan, who originally was
scheduled to address the group.
Senator Goldwater talked on a
variety of subjects. including
women's part in shaping the
Government today, socialized
medicine, soil rotation in Arr
zona, the Indians in his home
State. and the growth of this
country's population.
In a question and answer Pc
riod, he was asked to explain
provisions of the Bricker amend
ment.
The Senator, an advocate of
the measure. conceded it would
tie the hands of the President
and the Department of State.
With no disrespect to my
President and State Department.
I think we should tie them" he
said.
I'm a Republican" he added,
"but not naive enough to think
we're going to be here forever
and a day"
The speaker also was asked If
failure to adopt the Bricker
amendment might ultimately re-
suit in socialized medicine.
"Yes." Senator Goldwater re-
piled, I'VE could get socialized
medicine through international
agreement.
Among those at the head
table. in addition to Senator
Goldwater, were Mrs. Richard II.

duced the speaker; Mrs. Fergu-

almost any visitor who doesn't

The very day after Gladys Ia
Der and I discussed guests. worthy
and unworthy, I got note from
Silver Spring. Md, signed "W."
Without preamble. it asked
bluntly: "Is there any polite way
to let guests know that it is

Mamma got rid Of her.
Cousin Angie was very fond
of Mammals fried chicken and
chocolate cake. but one year
when she came from her city
home for her annual visit to us
on the farm. there was a new
baby and Mamma had no time to
fix company food. Then, after
Angie had been there about a
week. our dog Carlo carried to
Mamma a half finished letter to
her mother that Angie had left
on the front porch. In it she
complained to her mother that
the McBrides hadn't put a de-
cent meal on the table since she'd
been there. Mamma cooked hard
all that afternoon and for sup
per we had doubles in every
thing - baked ham and fried
chicken: hot rolls and hot bis
cults: cocoanut cake and choco-
late cake. They were all Angles
favorite things, but she hardly
ate a bite. You see. Mamma had
very quietly handed her the un-
finished letter Just before she
called us to the table.
Cousin Angie left the next
morning, w. Have I helped you?
