PHILATELIC NEWS
Christmas and FIou
Stamps Promised
By BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

A Christmas stamp and a
flag stamp have been added
to this years philatelic pro-
gram.
Postmaster General j. Ed
ward Day made the an
nouncement Friday night in
a talk at the COMPEX
Combined Philatelic Exhibi-
ton of ChicagoiandD banquet
at the Hotel La Sale in
Chicago.
Both stamps will be for the
first class letter rate, which
Mr.. Day said he was conf
dent would be increased from
4 to 5 cents in the fall. Pos
tai rate legislation has passed
the House and is in Senate
committee.
Both of the new stamps
have had strong popular sup
port. Mr.. Day noted that in
a recent count of letters from
the public suggesting stamp
subjects these two stood out
far above all the rest, draw
ing 1000 letters each an
nually.
Provision of a special stamp
appropriate for use on holi-
day greeting cards should re-
suit in a substantial increase
in postal revenues. Well over
a billion unsealed cards are
mailed each Christmas season
at the third class rate. now
3 cents. Postal officials be-
lieve that many of these
would be sent first class if
an attractive Chris TN a S
stamp were available.
Mr.. Day did not reveal the
design or color of the Christ
mas stamp but suggested that
it would represent a depar-
ture from the Stereotyped
in stamp art.
The field Of available
Christmas art is rather
sharply limited, since a re-
ligious theme on a United
States stamp would be
highly controversial and one
rejecting the more CONNER
cial aspects Of the holiday
also would bring criticism.
One non-controverSial de-
sign considered features a
green holiday wreath tie d
with red ribbon, arranged in
the small formal of regular
issues.
