Numismatics, the collecting of rare coins
(as if they all weren't rare these days), was
given great impetus just 100 years ago with
the formation in New York City, where it still
maintains museum and expanding offices,
of the American Numismatic Society.
The one-time hobby has grown into really
big business in some areas, and its eminence
is pretty well proven withvever-growing at
tempts at counterfeit. One of these attempts
came this week in Portland, and we must say
that :sn't much of a way to observe a respect
able hobby's centennial.
Ail manner of good looking coins were
found in the Portland raid 1913 buffalo
nickels, now worth $7 50: 1885 liberty head
nickels which bring $27.50 each, and many
others But they were phonies though ap
parently selling well. Its quite a business
that brings such a healthy profit on age. a la
our bigeer antiques. The counterfeiting of
antiques is by no means infrequent, and coins
are even more vulnerable to deception.
All e hope is that the people who discover
they've bought counterfeits don't start using
them in our favorite vending machines.
They'd probably gum up the works right.
Bill Aims at
News Barrier
A comparatively little-known and vastly
under rated bill eomes before the House gov
ernment operations committee for referral to
Congress this week. It carries the unanimous
support of a three-man sub-committee which
has been studying it.
The bill seeks to break the curtain of cen
sorship which 10 Federal departments have
used to keep many nonclassified records
from public scrutiny. The censorship has
been imposed through mis-interpretation of a
rather general 'housekeeping'' statute which
was passed years ago solely to set up means
by which the federal departments would use
and preserve their records. The departments,
instead, have used the statute to secret their
records on the claim such was the intent of
the original law. It never was.
It is somewhat natural that all 10 depart
ments are opposed to the bill. After all. the
more information which can be withheld from
the public the less chance there is of criti
cism. Conversely, it is natural that news
papers and other media of communication
would be in favor of the bill its passage
would better enable such media to carry out
their obligation to keep the public informed
of what is going on. And that, after all. is the
sole meaning of the oft-used phrase Freedom
of the Press.
The 10 Federal departments have had no
right to withhold information on the pretext
the old "housekeeping" statute permitted
them to do so. We hope the curtain, and one
more barrier to proper news coverage, will
be lifted.
