Eight Cent Stamp, April 8; TV-Radio Programs Slated The Post Office Department will introduce its first regular 8e United States stamp bearing the motto "In God We Trust" and also portraying the Statue of Liberty to a nationwide television and radio audience on Thursday noon, April 5, 1954, in a program emanating from the office of the Postmaster General. Participants in this historic ceremony will include President Dwight D. Eisenhower; Secretary of State John Foster Dulles; Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield; Bishop William C. Martin, National Council of Churches; Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York; and Dr. Norman Salit, President, Synagogue Council of America. This ceremony on April 8 from 12:15 to 12:30 p.m. eastern standard time, over stations to be announced later, commemorates far more than the issuance of a new stamp used primarily for international mail. Symbol of Freedom The Statue of Liberty, so prominently displayed on this stamp, is a beacon of opportunity and hope today, just as it has always been to oppressed peoples. It is also the proud and welcome symbol of home to every American returning to his native land. The inscription "In God We Trust" sums up the religious faith that has always been and is today the bulwark of this Nation—and its greatest source of strength. This stamp, then, is a symbol of great significance—of truths or our Nation's glories, beliefs, hopes and faiths—all summarized in a miniature picture less than 1 inch wide. G. M. President Optimistic About Business Future President Harlow H. Curtice of General Motors said today that GM dealers are approaching the traditional spring upturn in automobile sales in a "very comfortable position." Before a news conference in California attended by more than 230 persons the General Motors chief told a questioner he did not know how competitive firms were faring but that his company was "coming up to the high-selling season with less stocks on hand than might have been expected." "We are in a very comfortable position," he said. Mr. Curtice said current unemployment figures do not "indicate an important decline" in the level of business activity. He pointed out that total United States employment, exclusive of the Armed Forces, is estimated at about 60,000,000, compared with 57,000,-000 in the corresponding period of 1950, a good business year. "Currently, our own employment in General Motors is 30,000 higher than it was at this time a year ago," he said. Myron W. Kyes Myron W. Kyes, 81, a resident of Anaheim for 20 years, died April I, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Povey of Hailey, Idaho, after an extended illness. Besides his daughter, he Today, just as it has always been to oppress peoples, it is also the proud and welcome symbol of home to every American returning to his native land. The inscription "In God We Trust" sums up the religious faith that has always been and is today the bulwark of this Nation—and its greatest source of strength. This stamp, then, is a symbol of great significance—of truths or our Nation's glories, beliefs, hopes and faiths—all summarized in a miniature picture less than 1 square inch in size. It is truly a product of the people—and it meets the wishes of thousands of our citizens who have suggested that it be issued. On Sale April 9 The first day of sale of the new stamp will be held on April 9, 1954, in Washington, D.C. The following day, April 10, these stamps go on sale throughout the country. Because of the unusual significance of this stamp and the widespread public interest in its issuance it is suggested that postmasters bring the information given above to the attention of their local religious leaders, newspaper editors, and managers of television or radio stations. School authorities will also undoubtedly find this information of interest for use in school essay contests and in other ways. It should also provide excellent source material for talks by postmasters before local civic clubs.
