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.

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

to that country to buy American
wheat and wheat flour by Sep
