A fireman was later shot in the back and killed. Among the Negro dead were children and women, looters and gunmen...
Currently, members of the John Birch Society and other right-wing organizations are complaining that the Post Office is cottoning to subversive types with a 25? stamp portraying Negro Leader Frederick Douglass, a $1 issue honoring Playwright Eugene O'Neill, an 8? Albert Einstein number, and others of Philosopher John Dewey and Revolutionary War Pamphleteer Tom Paine. Last spring the Protestant-dominated Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed suit in U.S. district court to prevent the 1967 reissue, in a slightly larger version, of last year's Christmas stamp, a Madonna and Child portrait...
