WASHINGTON -* The fallowing letters

of State. "’ ;
Is there any official definition of U. S.
understanding of the terms “land reform”
± and agrarian reform”? We frequently use
\these terms, hut I wonder whether there is
any definition of either term which is some
what official in our foreign policy.
J. S.
Madison, Wise.
Dear Professor S.: ’
We have not been able to discover a defi
nition that might be called “official” for the
terms. There are some functional terms of
reference used in the Alliance for Progress
which might be helpful to you. In that con
text “land reform” is a general description
covering all those activities which are direct
ed toward greater availability of land re
sources for the needs of the people as a
whole, and ‘agrarian reform” is an even
broader description covering all those ac
tivities directed toward improvement of the
agricultural sector as a whole. Thus, you
can see that the working definition is in
terms of objectives, rather than in terms of
means or mechanisms or institutions. A
“land reform” measure. might exclude a
minimum wage law for agricultural work
ers and include a land redistribution.

Mischler Bremen, an overseas passenger
steamship transportation agency, issued some
sort of book, visa, or passport to each pass
enger coming to the U. S. in 1906 or 1907.
It is understood that this book had perti
nent information about the passenger. In
addition, this book is purported to have
some sort of Seal of the German Govern
ment which probably consisted of stamps
resembling postage stamps.

age stamps? if so, were these stamps of
any value to stamp collectors? Can identi
cal stamps be obtained today?
M. D.
Royalton, 111.
Dear Mr. D.:
We gather, on the basis of information
received from the Embassy of the Federal
Republic of Germany, Washington, D. C.,
that the seal mentioned ipr ypur letter was
a tax or fee stamp. This stamp is no long
er available. The Department has no in
formation whether such stamps are of value
to stamp collectors.

As you know, the Great Seal of the Unit
ed States of America has two sides, the
obverse and the reverse; but the obverse
of the Great Seal is used. Why don’t you
use the reverse?
R. M. W.
Miami Beach, Fla.
A seal reverse implies a pendant style or
manner of affixing. At the time the Conti
nental Congress adopted the design for the
Great Seal, in 1782, pendant seals were still
in general use. A pendant seal is a seal
in the form (usually) of a disk of wax or
similar substance which attaches to the doc
ument by ribbons or cords. The disk, like
a coin, has two flat surfaces, which afford
space for two designs—the obverse and the
reverse.
Although as originally enacted and as by
law perpetuated, the Great Seal devise in
cludes both obverse and reverse, so far as
we now know, the device of the reverse has
never been used as a seal. Consistent pre
cedent through 183 years supports the use of
the obverse alone as both the Great Seal
and the coat of arms of the United States.

office immediately, so that
they may have protection
when the program stars on
July 1.
Almost all persons 65 or
over are eligible for the two
types of health insurance un
der the medicare program,
hospital insurance and doctor
bill insurance. Social securi
ty beneficiaries are automat
ically enrolled in the hospi
tal insurance program, but
persons who are still working
or who do not receive social
security benefits must sign
up for hospital insurance.
On the other hand, in order
o get protection toward the
-■ost of doctors bills at a cost
>f $3 per month, all persons
must enroll.
According to Wyatt persons
who were 65 before March 1,
1966, and fail to enroll be
fore the deadline. May 31,
will have to wait until Octo
ber 1967 before they will
have another chance to ap
oly for doctor bill protec
tion. He added that as sen
ior citizens become 65 they
should visit their social se
curity office no later than
the month before their 65th
Dirthday to have protection
as soon as they reach 65.

DOWN BIRD
Coming up on a downed
bird, come up on his right.
Reason: If he takes off sud
denly you can probably shoot
better swinging from left to
right, than right to left.
DOWN DEER
Similarly when approach
ing a down deer, the thing
to watch is his tail. If
there is any life in him, it
will show in a tail twitch.

WHITEWATER TRICK
If you’ve got to shoot
some bad Whitewater in a
boat, use this tip to make
the journey a safe one. Take
a rock and tie your anchor
rope around it. Drag be

BIG GREEN TREE
Deer slipping out or in
thick cover will usually use
the biggest thickest tree to
come by. Station yourself
accordingly opening day.
