STAMPS—HOBBIES—PUZZLE News of the Philatelic World, Its Interests and People—Review of THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., JANUARY 25, 1942. the Stamp Press—List of Local Meetings. By James Waldo Fawcett. . A series of stamps representing-| heroic scenes from American history has been proposed to President Roosevelt. The subjects to be con- sidered for interpretation in the de- signs include “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” “The Bombardment of Fort McHenry,” “Capture of Cha- pultepec,” “The Monitor and the “High Tide at Gettys- " “Rough Riders at San Juan ,” “Dewey at Manila Bay,” “Bat- tl= of Belleau Wood” “Battle of Chateau Thierry,” “Defense of Wake Island,” “Lt. Kelly Sinks the Ha- runa,” “Lt. Bulkeley at Subic Bay” and “Gen. MacArthur at Corregi- dor.” Collectors approving the plam sre invited to communicate with Depu- ty Third Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Roy M. North. Treasury Department press re-’ leases dealing with stamp collecting | hereafter will be checked by a rep- | resentative of the philatelic public before being distributed. This con- cession has been granted by Charles | Schwarz, director of public rela-| tions, as one result of widespread criticism of the circulation of un- proven charges that Axis postal pa- per to the value of $20,000,000 was being marketed in the United Btates. A scheme for the building of 5,000 public schools is to be financed by the issuance of 2000000 postage stamps authorized by the govern- | ment of the Dominican Republic. | Philippine stamps, including even the long-neglected Aguinaldo issues of 1899, are headed skyward in the philatelic market. Officials of the Post Office De- | partment are reported to look with | disfavor upon a proposal for a series | of stamps to raise funds “for the building and construction of addi- | tional defense units for the United | States Navy.” It is pointed out that no citizen need wait for the manufacture of a set of semi-postal adhesives in order to contribute to the naval establishment. He can buy Defense bonds or Defense stamps already available. Margaret Kernodle, writing for the Associated Press Feature Serv- ice, says: “One of the three Pacific war fronts, the Malay Peninsula, | furnishes good news for collectors | by sending two new stamps to this | country. \ “Actually the stamps—from Pe- rak and Pahang—are not new in | design or value, but they are new in color. They were printed in London and are reported to have reached the colonies just before the Japanese invasion. “The Perak stamp, bearing a pic- ture of the Sultan Iskandar, was green in the old issue and is orange in the 2c just arrived. The Pahang 8c formerly appeared in gray and now is red with a picture of Sultan Bakar.” Elmer C. Pratt, editor of the News Bulletin of the Association of South Jersey Stamp Clubs, declares: “With all this turmoil, upset condi- tion, talk and work, we collectors are just a little better off than many others, for we have our stamps * « + to help us to keep our bal- ance. This is just where our stamp clubs, stamp exhibitions and stamp friends fit in and help us to carry the job along with a lighter heart.” War conditions have made it necessary to cancel first-voyage cov- ers planned for the new ships of the United States Lines and the American South African Line. Col- lectors who had sent money for these souvenir envelopes are re- quested to permit it to be turned over to the welfare fund of the Seamen’s Church Institute, but those who wish their remittances returned will be accommodated if they will send stamped, self-ad- dressed envelopes to the Cover Agency, 25 South street, New York City, not later than February 28. A commemorative has been re- quested for the 400th anniversary of the discovery of California. Designs for Free France stamps for St. Pierre and Miquelon have been submitted to Admiral Muselier by H. F. Warner, an English sig- naler serving on the submarine Surcouf. Representative Sol Bloom of New York, who sponsored the George Washington bicentenary and Con- stitution sesquicentenary stamps of 1932 and 1937, now wants another | series of propaganda adhesives. His purpose on the present occasion is | to gain publicity for the 450th an- | niversary of Christopher Columbus’ | first voyage to America in 1492. | in Germany at th€ end of the of its people. history may repeat in the defea lie ahead. is something in the upper left cor- ner of the indicated design resem- bling the symbol of eventual tri- umph. ‘The new colonial stamps of France —three each for 24 different geo- graphical designations—are authen- tic works of art. Each separte pic- ture appears to have been drawn from life. The subjects are officers and men of native regiments en- | gaged in the work for which they have been enlisted, Sanabria’s “Complete and Una- bridged Airport Catalogue for 1942 was published January 17. It in- cludes 1,000 pages of text and fllus- trations, a veritable airmail ency- clopedia of obvious value to even the casual collector. Louie C. Bean will sponsor a spe- cial Crosby photo-embossed cover to be mailed on President Roosevelt's birthday, January 30, carrying a commemorative stamp canceled on board the presidential yacht Po- tomac. The fee, including envelope and postage, as well as service, will be 25 cents, proceeds designated to the Mile o’ Dimes fund. Send names, addresses and remittances to Box 85, Route 5, Anacostia, D. C. A proposal to “penalize” phila- telic writers for using pen names has been put forward by a Chicago stamp journalist and is being dis- cussed, somewhat acidly, in the periodicals edited by his contempo- raries. “Making the punishment fit the crime,” what would he do to the philatelic equivalents of “Junius” “Elia,” “Mark Twaln” and “O. Henry"? The Secret Service has been “checking up” on violators of the law forbidding the publication of pictures showing United States cur- rency. Collectors and philatelic writers consequently are advised to obey the spirit as well as the letter of regulations relating to stamp illus- trations. The existing law is liberal and for that very reason should be observed scrupulously. So-called “war effort” stamps of the Union of South Africa have been overprinted “S. W. A.” for use in South West Africa. The story of Rudolph Thomas, stamp forger, was dramatized on the “Missing Heirs” program Tues- day evening. If no other bene- ficiaries are discovered, the phila- | | telic public which he victimized | might claim the $250,000 he left. Mexico announces six commem- | oratives for the fourth centenary of !‘ | the city of Merida, capital of | Yucatan. Denominations include 2-cent, brown, ancient ruins; 5-cent, orange, stone effigy; 10-cent, purple, coat of arms; 20-cent, blue green, shore fortress and ancient figure; 40-cent, olive, university building; 1-cent, red, plaza, cathedral and convent. Complaints have been made against a practice of clerks in the Philatelic Agency who dissect as many as 8 or 10 sheets at a time— with the result that some speci- mens are torn beyond acceptance for philatelic purposes. Separating stamps properly is an art which not everybody understands | or appreciates, and on occasion Post The Stock Exchange Philatelic | Society, 11 Wall street, New York | City, will sponsor a two-color print- ed cachet cover to mark the 150th | anniversary of the New York Stock | Exchange on May 17.

A new hobby society has just been organized in Washington. ‘The Mineralogical Society of the District of Columbia has been formed and has elected the follow- ing officers: President, C. H. Robiu- son; vice president, Dr. Ernest E. Fairbanks; secretary-treasurer, Miss Mary R. Schultz, and assistant secretary-treasurer, Walter Slavin. The first Tuesday in each month has been designated for the meet- ings, with 8 pm. as the time. Meet- ings will be held at various schools and notice will appear in this col- umn on preceding Sundays, or in- formation may be obtained from the secretary, Miss Schultz, Lin- coln 4637, Much interest was shown at this first meeting, and many people more or less connected with the subject professionally have indicated that it is their hobby as well by join- ing this society. For example, the vice president, Dr. Fairbanks, and Frederick W, Horton and Albert J. Kauffman, two of the members, are all connected with the Bureau of Mines. < A few other names among the charter members may indicate the range of interest. There are W. T. Baxter, a teacher and author on the subject; Martin Greenwood, a jeweler; Richard W. Lemke, a student at Georgetown University; Karl J. Albrecht, patent office; Charles J. Williamson, War Depart- ment; Capt. I. Livingston, U. 8. A.; Dr. J. Russell Berbricke, jr., and 50 on. Interest in mineralogy is keen, and there is every indication that it will be an extremely active and interesting group. No previous knowledge of the subject is required for membership. If you would like to know more about it, just go to the next meeting. ‘The Dollogy Club of Washington elected officers at its January meet- ing. The following will serve for the coming year: President, Mrs. Victor J. O'’Kelliher; vice president, Mrs. J. H. Dellinger; corresponding secretary, Miss Mona Hill; record- ing secretary, Mrs. Martin Elen- baum; treasurer, Mrs. William Gar- rison. ‘The following board mem- bers were elected: Mrs. Virginia ‘Woodin, Mrs. Willlam F. Meggers and Mrs. Mildred Nott. The club has been quite active lately and has been entertained at the homes of two of the members, ‘where doll collections were on dis- play. Mrs. William R. Knobloch showed her daughter’s collection to the club on January 10, and on the 14th Mrs. Gerard Lee exhibited dolls collected by her father, Dr. W. J. G. Thomas, during extensive travels, and now possessed by his granddaughter. At the request of the Army the Federal Communications Commis- sion has just banned all “hams” (amateur radio operators) com- pletely from the air. Previously the headquarters station of the Radio Relay League was allowed to broadcast in order to keep its members advised as to developments in the emergency neiwork, and in- dividual members of the network could test broadcast. It was found that all this carried too far to sea, and had to be stopped. In order to keep their Hands in it looks as though the hams will have to start bullding receiving sets. Previously most all of them built their own sending equipment, but bought commercial receivers. If they can obtain parts they may have a try at developing new and better receivers. ‘Theére was an interesting visitor at the last meeting of the Metro- politan Society of Model Engineers in the person of Robert Meira, from Rio de Janerio, a civil engineer. He 1s here to study American railroads and railing methods. Mr. Meira has been here about one year and is conpected with the Brazilian equivalent of our Inter- state Commerce Commission. His organization differs from ours in that the Brazilian government owns certain railroads which are operated by Mr. Meira’s unit, which also exercises control over the others. He is building models of our rail- road equipment to take back to Brazil as part of his findings on the subject and we suspect that he has a fondness for the models for their own sake. He has been a model builder in the past, having once built gas model planes. The Capitol Model Aeroneers’ new officers are: President, William Pen- noyer; vice president, Samuel Wal- lace; secrétary-treasurer, Charles Weiss. Several of the members are building tether model planes and we hope shortly to be able to tell you when and where these latest type models may be seen in flight.

After six rounds of match play, in which he won from Bernard Rosenberg, No. 2 Central star; Ed- ward Moure, No. 1 Fairfax ace; Don Wyvell, second-boarder for West- ern; Howard Shelton, No. 1 Tech champion and titleholder of the Interhigh Chess Association; Nor- man Horwitz, Wilson first-boarder and captain, and George Wilson, lead-off man for Tech, John Rober Rast, native Washingtonian, being born here March 26, 1925, emerged the successor to Champion Sheiton with six straight victories and no losses to his string of scalps. It was an exczllent performance. At the beginning of the tourney John Rast was & dark horse. He was elected reporter of the Inter- high -Chess Association, to whose councils he came as an official dele- gate from Roosevelt High Chess Club of which he is president. He is & member of the Interhigh Chess Honor Council and his chess ability came to the fore as he played at Macfarland Junior High, where he captured the title which he held for three semesters. For two years he served as presi- dent of the Macfarland Junior High JOHN R. RAST, Interhigh Chess Champion.

Prior to at- tending Macfarland School he went to the Hamilton School at St. Louis, Mo. he had previously graduated from both Cook and Barnard Elementary Schools. Re- turning to Washington from St. Louis he entered Macfarland Junior High and his chess career began. His favorite opening is the Ruy Lopez, his favorite master Nim- zowitsch, and the first three chess books in his library are Nimzo- witsch’s “Chess Praxis,” Reti’s “Masters of the Chessboard” and Znosko-Borovsky's “The Middle Game in Chess.” He prefers over-the-board chess to any other and relishes either the open or the close game.

Notes on a Variety of Subjects of Interest in Washington and Vicinity By R.R. ‘The Old Dominion Kennel Club held its annual election of officers at the January meeting. Howard Grimm was elected president and delegate to the American Kennel Club. M. Gardiner and Lucille Scaggs are the new vice presidents. Mrs. Mary K. Powell and James A.

This step is in line -with that taken by most of the Nation's ken- nel clubs, which are definitely de- fense conscious and are adding large amounts to the various funds being raised for defense and amelioration of war suffering. There is danger that in the rush to mount the bandwagon of national defense, some peacetime agencies which de- vote their time to relief of suffer- ing will suffer. For many years the Hospital for Crippled Children in Baltimore received a substantial sum from the Baltimore show. This year it will not. The Alexandria Hospital and Nursery have received much needed help from the Old Dominion Club in the past. This year that help will go to the Red Cross. Crippled and homeless chil- dren still exist and still need help. Arthur Scharfeld has been called to Cleveland by the sudden death of his father and the extreme ill- ness of his mother. He was elected treasurer of the Old Dominion Club in his absence. From all over the country and from fanciers of many different breeds come plans and claims for their dogs in war work. Obedience training clubs are opening their ranks to receive mongrels, realizing that a well-trained dog of any breed or of no breed is a potential asset in the war and during periods of stress, but that an untrained dog 15 & decided liability. of German shepherds, ‘The Federal Bridge League started the second half of its 1941-2 season of team-of-four bridge games last Tuesday night at the Wardman Park Hotel.

Mrs. Pran- cis Crane, foremost breeder of Great Pyrenees, injects a modern angle in this war-dog business by point- ing out that her white giant dog is particularly adapted to serve as & guide and companion during blackout periods by virtue of his size, color and temperament. Seve eral dogs of this breed, and there are not very many in this country, are already serving as at Army camps, one in the Baltimore area. From World War I the Gere man shepherd emerged as the pope ular breed. What breeds or breed will gain new popularity from this war cannot be foretold, but there is no doubt that the course of canine affairs will be materially altered by current events.
