Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower presented a pink embroidered or- gandy dress given her by Mrs. Carlos P. Garcia, wife of the President of the Philippines. Kalph E. Becker continued his donations of political campaign paraphernalia of the past. Significant among the gifts is a preserve crock inscribed "25,000 Majority General Jackson"—a protest against the fact that although General Jackson rolled up a majority of greater than 25,000 popular votes over his nearest rival, John Quincy Adams, in the election of 1824, he lost the election. Since no candidate had a majority of the total vote, the House of Representatives chose Mr. Adams from the three candidates having the highest number of elec- toral votes. The division of philately and postal history acquired a specialized collection of early Peru, consisting of more than 13,000 stamps and covers in 16 albums, donated by Bernard Peyton. The material portrays the postal history of Peru from the period of Eoyal Spanish Service to the end of the 19th century. Essays, proofs, and color trials augment the approved stamps, and each issue is thoroughly explored by means of cancellations. One album presents the Pacific.
