Our Flag-- What Should It be Like? By Alex Raymond i (The president, Naaonl Cartoonist Society, and creator and illustrator ot the popular dally newspaper strip, "Rip Hirliy.- contrlbntes the sixth of a rips of articles.) T Sixth or T Stories la preceding articles of this series, five suggestions for a new national flag design have! been S resented. A change In the' flag's esign Is made necessary by ad dition of Alaska and Hawaii to the Union. The change must be more than merely a matter of adding two new stars to the field. The 48 stars of j the present flag are arranged In six equal rows of eight, each. Placing SO stars in even rows means the proportions of the field mijist be altered or the stars made smaller. Either of the arrange ments will affect the appearance of i the flag to a noticeable extent. Since the appearance of the flag will be changed, it is in order to Consider adoption of one of mbre ideas advocated by artists who feel that the whole design of the flag, could and shoulcr be im pnoved. it also could be given more permanence. Thirty-eight years is the longest period the flag has gone unchanged. i . Designs presented earlier in thjis series may have appeared at first glance to be an abandonment ol! everything in our flag except the colors, yet all were suggested by one or more of the 100 flags that have flown over our nation's territory during its history. IHere, in the larger drawing, is what might be considered the most radically different of the suggested arrangements. Yet it, too, has a precedent. The full lidth stripes were used in the i first Navy Jack of John Paul 1 Janet. and in th eni-mllM c c K WMtW j ...v......... ... "American Stripes," the first flag raised In the Northwest Territory afters the Revolution, as told in a previous .article. The smaller drawing shows the flag designed by Capt S. C. Reid for XT. S. ships. Capt. Reid was the designer of the national flag adopted by Con gress in 1818. At that time, it was customary for nations to have special ensigns for naval and merchant ships. It expresses, I think, the spirit of the nation in a very effective manner: SO stars in one 50 States in one unified whole. The design also has elasticity, that is, additional stars could be added without affecting the appearance of the flag noticeably. Thus it could be more permanent than a mere revision of the present form of the flag's field to accommodate two additional stars. Tomorrow, a final suggested de sign will be presented here to gether with drawings of all those previously published. They will be accompanied by a ballot on which you can express your opinion re garding the new national flag. Demand for Steel, Autos Boosts Market NEW YORK, June 12-flrVA surge ox demand for steel and auto stocks put the market on sol id ground today. The market was mainly a blue- chip affair as was the case last week - with buyers focusing their attention on shares with an investment ..rating. Virtually all the IS most active shares were in that category. Favored stocks ran up gains of fractions to around two points, A wide variety of shares, at the same time, backed down a trifle. Gains outnumbered losses by only a slim margin but the over all improvement was enough to lift the market on average to a new four-year peak. Trading bit a brisk rate, turn over amounting to 1,780,000 shares. This compared with 2,130, 000 Friday. The market got off to a good start with steels and autos setting a fast pace. After a couple of hours of see-saw price action. fresh demand appeared, again in the steel and auto divisions. Price trends in other groups were some what cloudy. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks advanced X of one point to 80.3, a peak since mid June 1946. Industrials accounted for all of the rise for rails were unchanged and utilities a shade lower.

Grain Market Prices Stage General Drop CHICAGO, June 12 -&)- All commodities except new crop soy beans dropped in an active trade on the board of trade today. Wheat ended 1 to 2 cents lower, corn 1-14 lower, oats 14-2 lower, rye lV4-l lower, soybeans 5V4 lower to i higher and lard 25 to 35 cents a hundred pounds lower. Traders felt mild hedging pres sure was a factor in sending wheat lower, coupled with the belief this type of selling would expand now that the harvest is. getting under way in Kansas. Thus far, the har vest has been limited to areas where production was off from last year's high total. The production and marketing administration asked for offers on 110,000 hundredweights of flour and Holland was in the market for approximately 1,200,000 bushels of wheat Holland's action was tied in with an economic cooperation administration grant of $5,817,000 to that country to buy American wheat and wheat flour by Sep tember 30. i Salem Market Quotations (As eg late restart) BOTTEBFAW Premium ' JU No. 1 . jM No. 2 M BUST KK Wholesale jS4 Retail M SCO a (Baylag) iwaoiesale d rices ranges from S to 1 cents ever burins' nriee.l Large AA .40 Lars a A M Medium AA J4 Medium A t Crack , M POULTRY A Leghorn hens B Leghorn hens , C Leghorn hens A colored hens B colored hens A colored fryers B colored fryers C colored fryers A old roosters B old roosters C old roosters .IS at .
