The Washington Stamp Club of the‘ Alr is the latest development of philately in the Capital. It wil be inaugurated | over Station WOL this afternoon at 1:15 o'clock, and Albert F. Kunze, pres- | ident of the Washington Philatelic So- | ciety, will be the leader. ‘The club has evolved from a series of 32 lectures cn “The Romance of Stamps.” given by Mr. Kunze since Jan- uary, 1931. It is indorsed by stamp club advisers of the public schocls, the District of Columbia Congress of Parents and Tcachers, the Washingion branch of the Boy Scouts of America and the | philatelic secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Mr. Kunze is an attorney who has been collecting stamps, studying stamps, and writing and lecturing about stamps for many years. A native of New Jer- sey, he had the advantage of a long residence in Europe when a boy. Re- turning to America, he attended the Unlversity of Chicago and Northwestern University, graduating from the latter in 1914 with the degree of LL. B. He practiced law in Illinois until the United States entered the World War, | when he enlisted in the Infantry and was assigned to duty on the Mexican | border. At that post he had occasional opportunity to study the stamps of Mex- ico and the story of the early transmis- sicn of mail in the Southwestern States. After the armistice he was trans- ferred to the civilian personnel of the Ordnance War Claims Board at Chi- cag>. In 1925 he was called to Wash. ington as a special assistant to the At- torney General, and assigned to the War | Transaction Section of the Department of Justice. A year later he went to the Department of State for legal work with the United States-Mexican Claims Commission. He argued with success | cases before the international court. Mr. Kunze's interest in stamps traces back to boyhood. Beginning with some | specimens presented by his father, he collected through his high school and college career. The mere accumulating of stamps, however, was not enougn to satisfy his instinct. He made it a special routine to “write up” his acquisitions as they came into his possession. Each stamp, in his view, is entitled to study. | y theory,” he says, “in stamp col- | lecting is to associate at least one story | with each stamp. I am far less inter- tested in the morey value of a stamp than I am in what can be learned by looking through the stamp and seeing the story behind if | Today Mr. Kunze has one of the most interesting collections in Washington, and one of the best annotated. He joined the Washington Philatelic | Soclety about five years ago, and was second vice president for one year, vice president for one year and is now serv- ing his second term as president. He is a regular contributor to the philatelic | press. His radio talks on stamps have been popular with both children and adults. Mr. Kunze speaks of the idea of the Washington Stamp Club of the Air as having originated from & suggestion made by Miss Sybil Baker, director of playgrounds, who asked him to aid in establishing a stamp club at each of the seve.al playground centers of the city. | “I realized the difficulty | “of finding a trained stamp guide or | leader for each playground. It seemed to me that a program broadcast from a | central point might act as a stimulus and help for the individual playground directors and school teachers in man- aging their clubs. I discussed the plan with educational authorities and with representatives of the various civie or- ganizations. The idea was accepted by Station WOL. 1Its purpose, of course, is purely educational, and it has no adver- tising connections. The club is for both children and grown-ups.” As outlined by Mr. Kunze, the plan of the club “coniemplates the buil of a stamp collection along education: lines, combining the stamps, mounted in a logical, historical sequence, with the vivid and dramatic stories de- picted. The subject matter of these annota- tions will be broadcast by the club | during the course of its various meet- ings and may be summarized or ex- | panded to suit the taste of the collector. | The activities of the club will open with | n - 1 HOURS " HOURS ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL “The only gll-Pullmgn train Washington to Miami and St. Peteriburg” Comfort, Smooth-riding NO EXTRA PARE Leave Washington, D.C- Daily st 3110 P.

Robert Truax is secre- tary, and Clyde V. De Binder service director. Liberalization of restrictions on per- missible illustrations of postage stamps in the interest of philately, as a means to develop and foster a philatelic pub- lication industry and for the promo- tion of education, is proposed in a bill introduced in the e of Rep- resentatives by Represeniative Andrew Jackson Mentague, Democrat, of Vil ginia, and in the Scnate by Senat Porter H. Dale, Republican, of Ver- mont. ‘The bill would confer authority on the Postmaster General to permit the reproduction of stamps for philatelic purposes under such regulations as he may impose. The proposed legislation is a result of the deliberations of the Stamp Illus- tration Committee of the American Philatelic Society. appointed at the last convention of the organization. Mayo Dudley, Washington newspaper man, is chairman; other members are Col Spencer Ccsby, U. 8. A, retired, and Lieut. Col. Charles S. Hamilton, U, 8 A, both well known coliectors. Under the exisiing iaw, only parts of the borders of the designs of stamps of the United States may be repro- | duced and the stamps of foreign coun- tries may be depicted only from mutilated plates. A statement pre- pared by Mr. Dudley calls attention to the fact that the policy of Great Many foreign governments have no restrictive laws of any kind affecting philately. Mr. Dudley says the danger of coun- terfeiting under liberalized restriction s’ negligible. Friends of the bill are invited to ad- dress their Congressmen on the subject. Mail for Mr. Dudley may be sent to the National Press Club. The Washington branch of the So- ciety of Philatelic Americans will meet Tuesday evening at 8 o'c at 1103 Vermont avenue. There will be an exhibiticn of the stamps of Greece, and the varieties and peculiarities of early ssues of that country will be ex- plained. James F. Duhamel, vice pres- ident, will preside.
