ReguIor Series to Get
Is and Cent Values
BY BELMONT FAIRIES

Two additional values. IS
and rs cents, will be added
to the current Liberty series
Of regular stamps, Postmas-
ter General Summerfield an
nounced yesterday.
The 15-cent, picturing John
Jay. statesman. diplomat and
first Chief Justice Of the
United States, will be placed
on first-day sale here. The
25-cent, with a portrait Of
Paul Revere, Revolutionary
War patriot. will be released
In Boston.
John Jay, son Of q wealthy
merchant, was born in New
York City December IL, 1745.
Trained as q lawyer. he
served in the Continental
Congress and was its presi-
dent in 1778-79. After q
futile diplomatic mission to
Spain he helped negotiate
the Treaty of Paris which
ended the Revolutionary War.
Jay was secretary Of for
eign affairs under the Con-
federation and on the adop-
ton Of the new Constitution,
which he strongly supported,
was named by President
Washington as the first Chief
Justice.
In 1894, while still on the
court. he negotiated another
treaty with England to settle
issues left over from the
Revolution. II was bitterly
attacked by his political OPP
ponents but ratified by the
Senate. A strong Federalist,
he was Governor of New
York between l795 and 1900,
when he retired from public
life. He died May IT. 1929.
Paul Revere, best known
for his famous ride. was born
in Boston. January /, 1875.
the son Of a silverSmith. He
learned the trade from his
father and also tried his
hand at copper plate en-
craving and making den-
lures. AS leader Of the
mechanic class of Boston ne
supported the patriot he sup
ported the patriot cause and
helped stage the Boston Tea
Party.
Revere served as the off,
cial courier Of the Massa-
chusetts Assembly and made
many trips by horseback.
The ride TO Lexington i'm
mortalized in Longfellow's
poem was to warn John Han
cock and Samuel Adams that
the British were on the way to
capture them and to arouse
the Minute Men for the Con-
cord Skirmish which opened
hostilities in the War for
Independence.
During the war Revere was
commissioned to design and
print the first Continental
currency. He also had a brief
and undistinguished military
career. But his copper
foundry prospered and he
was highly regarded as a
master craftsman in silver.
He died in Boston May 10.
1918.
Continuing Demand
The decision to add the
two new values to the lS-
stamp Liberty series was
reached because Of a contin-
uing demand for is and IS
cent stamps. which have
been provided by reprinting
the James Buchanan and
William Mckinley stamps OF
the presidential series of 1888.
Fifty-nine million l5-cent
stamps were shipped to post
masters in fiscal 1856 and 81
million in fiscal 1857. The
figures for 25-cent stamps
were Sc million and 63
million.
Postal officials said there
had been a slight demand
for ll2-cent and Scent val
ues Of the presidential series
in coils. but very little call
for any other denomination.
