FLAG DAY
By Charles V. Stanton
June 14, though not a legal national holiday, is the day
UDon which, by Presidential proclamation, we annually hon.
or the flag of our country. Each nation has its flag. We
have a flag for each state in our Union. Branches, de.
partments, agencies and services of our government have
their respective nags.
The flag, however, is only a symbol. It is a symbol
of a people their ideas, their purposes, their sentiments,
their deeds.
The flag of our country Old Glory, The Stars and
Stripes, The Colors no matter by what name it is called,
still is but the composite of the men and women who make
ud the United States of America.
This thought was beautifully expressed in 1914 by
Franklin K. Lane, then serving as Secretary of the Interior,
who spoke to employes of that department.
He said:
This morning, as I patted Into the land office, the Flag
dropped me a mott cordial salutation, and from Itt rippling
foldt I heard it say: "Good morning, Mr. Flag-Maker."
"I beg your pardon, Old Glory," I said, "aren't you mlt
taken? I am not the President of the United States, nor mem.
ber of Congress, nor even a general In the Army. I am only
a government clerk."
"I greet you again, Mr. Flag-Maker," replied the gay voice.
"I know you well. You are the man who worked in the swelter
of yesterday straightening out the tangle of that farmer's home,
stead in Idaho, or perhaps you found the mistake In that In
dian contract In Oklahoma, or helped ts clear that patent for
the hopeful Inventor In New York, or pushed the opening of that
new ditch In Colorado, or made that mine In Illinois more safe,
or brought relief to the old soldier in Wyoming. No matter;
whichever one of these beneficent individuals you may happen
to be, I give you greetings, Mr. Flag-Maker."
I was about to pass on, when the Flag stopped me with
these words:
"Yesterday the President spoke a word that made happier the
future of 10,000,000 peons In Mexico; but that act looms no
larger on the flag than the struggle, which the boy In Georgia
Is making ts win the corn club prise this summer.
"Yesterday the Congress spoke a word which will open the
door of Alaska; but a mother in Michigan worked from sun
rite until far Into the night to give her boy an education. She,
too, Is making the flag.
"Yesterday we made a new law to prevent financial panics,
and yesterday, maybe, a tchoolteacher In Ohio taught his first
letters to boy who will one day write a song that will give
cheer to millions of our race. We are all making the flag."
"But," I said impatiently, "these people were only working."
Then came a great shout from the flag:
-.. "The work that we do It the making of the flag.
"I am not the flag; not at all. I am but Its shadow.
"I am whatever you make me; nothing more.
"I am your belief in yourself, your dream of what a people
may become.
"I live In changing life, a life of moods and passions, of
heartbreaks and tired muscles.
"Sometimes I am strong with pride, when men do an honest
work, fitting the rails together truly.
"Sometimet I droop, for then purpose has gone from me,
and cynically I play the coward.
"Sometimes I am loud, garish, and full of that ego that
blasts iudgement.
"But always I am all that you hope to be and have the
courage to try for.
"I am the day's work of the weakost man, and the largest
dream of the most daring.
"I am the Constitution and the courts, statutes and the
statute-makers, soldier and dreadnaught, draymen and street
sweeper, cook, counselor and clerk.
"I am the battle of yesterday and the mistake of tomorrow.
"I am the mystery of the men who do without knowing why.
"I am the clutch of an idea and the reasoned purpose of
resolution.
"I am no more than what you believe me to be, and I am
all that you believe I can be.
"I am what you make me, nothing more.
"I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a
symbol of yourself the pictured suggestion of that big thing which
makes this nation. My stars and stripes are your dream and your
labors. They are bright with cheer, brilliant with courage, firm
with faith, because you have made them so out of your hearts.
For you are the makers of the flag and It is well that you
glory in the making."

Spotlight Is Still Focused
On Stevenson, Rockefeller
WASHINGTON (AP) It's the
greatest play on words sinco
somebody invented abracadabra
Adlai E. Stevenson and New
York's Gov. Nelson A. Rockefello
deny they're looking for a job but
they don't deny they'd run for the
phone if tho employment agency
called.
For a pair being shy. they man
age amazingly well to keep their
names in tho headlines.
Rockefeller withdrew from tho
race for tho Republican presiden
tial nomination without ever hav-
ing admitted he was In it. Now
ho is back In it by saying he
would accept a draft while firmly
denying he's a candidate.
Stevenson won't even agree he'd
accept a draft by the Democrats
to bo their presidential choieo. But
he doesn't say he wouldn't. Tho
past few days his hat seemed to
be in the ring. Then ho grabbed
it back.
Both men continue to stride
across the national political scene,
making political speeches and
noises like candidates. Neilher has
denied he would just lovo to be
picked.
Stevenson makes speeches ex
plaining his own five-point "grand
strategy for pcaco" and Issues
statements criticizing the Repub
licans and President Eisenhower.
He termed the administration's
handling of the spy plane a blun
der, at the tame time speaking
out against partisan fault-finding
at this time.
Rockefeller ciitleize!i the Elsen
hower administration in a number
of fields, but says "I think the
administration has done a wonder
ful job."
Ho shocked tho Republicans
last week by railing Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon to come
out of tho political bushes and say
where he stands.
Rockefeller says it is "urgently
necessary" for Nixon to state his
position on tho issues but that,
even if Nixon doesn't, he will sup
port the vice president if tho lat
ter gets the nomination.
Tho governor says one of the
vital signs of national political
health is debato within the party.
Hut when Nixon challenged him
to a public discussion, Rockefeller
utnn i accept.
Playing hard to get worked well
for Stevenson in 1952. That was
tho year the Democrats picked
him the first time. In 1956 he got
their nomination again but that
time he campaigned for it.
Last week Eleanor Roosevelt
got a telegram from Stevenson
which mado her finally believe ha
was a candidate because of Ste
venson's wording. He told her: "I
will servo my country and my
party whenever called upon."
She said that made it "clear
Mr. Stevenson is a candidate."
This was too positive for Steven
son who then issued a statement:

In The Days News
;By FRANK JENKINS ;
Political interest today centers
on Mr. Nelson Rockefeller's rath
er startling statement of yesterday
in which, after asserting that he is
NOT a canidate but would AC
CEPT the Republican nomination
for President if it were tendered to
him on a silver platter, be
1. Criticizes the Eisenhower ad
ministration's defense program and
advocates a three billion dollar in
crease in defense spending, and. . .
2. Says the nation must achieve
a faster rate of economic growth,
urges federal aid for school con
struction and endorses medical aid
for the aged under the social se
curity system in contrast with
what he calls the "basically un
sound" plan of the Eisenhower ad
ministration. Let's take these criticisms up in
order, starting with No. 1:
Does Mr. Rockefeller (in the full
text of his statement) say IN DE
TAIL just how the additional three
billions he wants should be spent
and justify his contention by EX
PERT knowledge that three bil
lion dollars more are NEEDED in
order to make us safe?
That prompts another question:
Who is better qualified to judge
our military defense needs Pres
ident Eisenhower, a dedicated mili
tary professional who has devoted
his life to military affairs and who
has had more military experience
than any American how living. . .
or Mr. Rockefeller?
That, it seems to me, is a fair
question. We Americans want to
know. If our military program is
inadequate, it is OUR lives and
fortunes that are at stake.
In his now celebrated statement,
Mr. Rockefeller urges faster rate
of economic growth. . .meaning,
presumably, an accelerated rate of
growth FORCED by government.
He wants federal aid for school
construction. He wants increased
medical aid for the aged under so
cial security.
All of these SOUND like endorse
ment of the philosophy of t h e
spenders. They seem to suggest
that in Mr. Rockefeller's opinion
the Republican party should pledge
itself, if returned to power this
fall, to SPEND MORE THAN THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN
SPENDING.
Or-
At least
To spend more than has been
spent under the Eisenhower admin
istration. We must remember, of course,
that we do not have before us the
full text of the Rockefeller state
ment. We have as yet only the di
gest of its principal points that has
been provided for us by the news
services.
Before we can draw accurate
conclusions, we must have the
FULL TEXT. We must study it
carefully. We must balance one
statement against another. Before
we can arrive at an accurate judg
ment of what Mr. Rockefeller pro
poses, in the event that the Repub
lican party takes him at his word
and DRAFTS him as its nominee
for the high office of President,
we must have the full text of his
statement so that we may study
carefully, even prayerfully, what
he is proposing in his dramatic
entrance into the political arena.
But-
On the face of what we are able
to see so far
A lot of Ais will feel a sense of
disappointment in Mr. Rockefeller.

Philosophic Male Ponders
Why Women WantTo Wed
NEW YORK (AP) Why do
women want to marry?
This is something the philosophic
male often ponders. For to his
unprejudiced eye, it often seems
that most of the woes that befall
women can be traced, directly or
indirectly, to marriage.
Marriage appears to cause
many of them to go to rack and
ruin. Or if it doesn't, then what
does? What else is there to
blame?
A single girl of 22, in many
ways, represents femininity at its
peak. She is neat, strong, healthy,
and attractive. She has a job and
is financially independent. She
likes sports and is well-informed
on world affairs. She reads the
latest books. She keeps up with
everything.
She doesn't know it, but she is
in the prime of life.
What happens? Well, she listens
to some wedge-headed youth who
tells her, "What's a pretty dame
like you doing wasting yourself
behind a typewriter? Why don't
you let me take you away from
all this empty nonsense?"
She does. She marries the goof.
And then what happens? Why she
goes straight downhill. She falls
apart like a wet paper bag in a

hurricane. The years peel her like
she was an artichoke.
Before marriage she could play
36 holes of golf and then demand,
"Anybody for tennis?" After mar
riage she can't walk half a block
without looking around for a taxi.
Before marriage she could car
ry a 25-pound pack on an all-day
hike without help. After marriage
she can't struggle into a girdle
without help.
Before marriage she liked noth
ing better than inviting a boy
friend to her apartment and dish
ing him up a nice meal. After
marriage she suddenly can't stand
her own cooking anymore. She
wants to eat out at least three
nights a week.
Before marriage a nice cloth
coat suited her fine. After mar
riage something happens to her
metabolism. "I just can't take
these cold winters the way I used
to," she says. "I have to have a
fur coat or I'll freeze to death."
Before marriage she could talk
on any subject. After marriage
the only topic she is really in
terested in is, "why don't you
either ask your boss for more
money, or look for a better job?"
Before marriage she loved act
ing as a baby sitter. After mar
riage she spends most of her time
trying to find a baby sitter.
Before marriage half a dozen
guys stood in line to help her
paint her apartment. After mar
riage she wails, "If this house is
ever going to get any new wall
paper, I guess I'll have to put
it up myself."
Before marriage, when she got
a new dress, everyone said, "Gee,
you look pretty." After marriage,
her husband merely growls,
"What'd it cost?"
Before marriage she didn't have
a gray hair in her head, and she
had a shape like a willow tree.
After marriage?
But why go on with it? What
matrimony does to the average
woman is obvous to everyone
even herself.
The puzzle remains: Why do
women eagerly seek marriage,
when they know its terrible price?
Readers

Reader Has Economy
Idea For Legislators
To The Editor:
Several times items have ap
peared in the papers that seem to
wonder why the voters of the state
refused to O.K a pay raise for
our legislators, but I have never
yet seen a statement defending the
decision of the voters, so I think
it is time one is made.
I have heard the remark several
times that it was their opinion
that if for the past thirty years
the legislators had received their
pay just the same but had not
been called to Salem as a legisla
tive body in all that time the state
would be better off today. And evi
dently a lot of the voters seem to
have the same feeling. So with the
voters having the opinion that they
do, is it any wonder that the pay
hike was denied?
Now it seems that if our legisla
tors would do something other than
to find new ways to squeeze more
money out of the people, the out
come of the pay hike might be
different.
We've just got to vote, and each
time we hope for improvement,
and each time we are disappointed.

France Warns Russ
On New Arms Plan
GENEVA (AP) France warned
the Soviet Union here it would
be a serious error to believe the
new Soviet disarmament plan,
partly based on French ideas,
could disrupt the solidarity of the
Western Alliance.
French disarmament expert
Jules Moch told the 10-natlon dis
armament conference the plan put
forward by Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev June 2 "denotes a
complete change in the Soviet
position, even if certain principles
seem to have remained un
changed." Moch recalled that Khrushchev
and Soviet Delegate Valerian Zor
io repeatedly emphasized that the
plan contained proposals original
ly put forward by the French gov
ernment. "If as I do not believe the au
thors of the nlan conceived it with
the ulterior motive of exploiting it
in order to weaken or disrupt tne
Western Alliance, they will have
made a serious error, as nothing
will shake our solidarity," Mocb
said.
In his first speech since the dis
armament talks resumed June 7,
Moch said the Soviet plan had
obviously been drafted for pres
entation at the ill-fated summit
conference.
Ormsby-Gore asked Zorin a se
ries of questions, saying the an
swers were essential to permit the
Western powers to determine tneir
attitude to the Soviet plan.
Zorin replied that the questions
should be settled by negotiation,
and suggested that the Western
delegations start the ball rolling
by proposing their own answers.

State Department Sees 'At Home'
Victory For Khrushchev Theory
WASHINGTON (AP) Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev seems
to have won a victory, at least
at home, in battling against "left
ist" opponents of his theory of
peaceful coexistence.
That is the hasty interpretation
of State Department Soviet schol
ars here of the strong defense of
Khrushchev's policy and a denun
ciation of his critics made in Sun
day's issue of Pravda, the Com
munist parly paper.
The scholars say it will take a
lot of study to evaluate fully the
Pravda article. But they said that
even a first glance confirms the
theory that Khrushchev intends to
maintain his line of coexistence
and of negotiation to settle inter
national disputes.
The Pravda article by N. Mat
kovsky said some persons mis
takenly considered such things as
meetings between Communist and
non-Communist chiefs of state a
departure from Marxism and
Leninism.
"Comrade Khrushchev has said,
on questions of ideology we have
firmly stood and will stand U.e a
rock on the foundations of Marx
ism and Leninism," Matkovsky
said.
The article and discussion of it
by the Soviet public took note that
in the world Communist move
ment there has been some differ
ences of opinion. It identified
Khrushchev's opponents only as
left-wing Communists, which ap
parently was aimed at Mao Tze
iuna and other Chinese Commu
nist opponents in the Communist
camp of tne rremier s enorts to
ease tension between the Western
and Communist worlds.
Whenever Pravda prints a sim
ilar piece on ideological questions,
it usually marks the end of ex-
ton!i,A rlahnta huhinrl rinsed Hnors
on the highest Communist level.
Soviet experts at the State De
partment said it would be highly
cnar-iilntiva in cav whn were the
opponents of the Khrushchev the
sis in tne soviet union useu.
There is, however, no doubt that
such a group exists.
Whila tho PravHa nippe has
likely settled the dispute in the
Kremun Dy endorsing me inruu

will have on the Chinese thinking
remains to be seen, the experts
said. . .

Ben-Gurion Talks
Set With DeGaulle
PARIS (AP) Prime Minister
David Ben-Gurion of Israel ar
rived today for talks with Presi
dent Charles de Gaulle which
could include an appeal for
French support in the Eichman
affair.
The Israeli Prime Minister also
may try to set up a meeting here
with President Arturo Frondizi of
Argentina on the same matter.
Frondizi is due later.
Ben - Gurion will see De Gaulle
Tuesday. His official stay ends
Tuesday evening but he will stay
on privately until June 20.
Israeli sources confirmed that
several anonymous letters threat
ening Ben-Gurion have been re
ceived and that security precau
tions have been made unusually
severe. Whether these letters were
prompted by the Eichmann case
was not made clear.
Officially, France has taken no
stand on the seizure in Argentina
of Adolf Eichmann, director of the
Nazi "final solution" which re
sulted in extermination of millions
of Jews. But the French are
known to be sympathetic to the
Israelis and De Gaulle might be
prepared to do his best to soothe
feelings at least.
Ben-Gurion departed after a
Cabinet meeting which reportedly
reaffirmed that Eichmann would
remain in Israel to stand trial for
his part in the Nazi extermination
of Jews. Argentina had demanded
that he be returned to Buenos
Aires and that the Jewish under
cover agents who spirited him out
of Argentina late in May be pun
ished. Argentina threatened to
take the case to the United Na
tions unless Eichmann were returned.
