(Acme Telephoto) If Hawaii and Alaska Become States Flags Must Be Burned NICHOLS By HARMAN W, ' (United Preaa Jtaff Correspondent) ' Washington, March 14 (U.R) The United States may be headed toward the biggest flag-burning since Arizona joined in the Union in 1912. If the congress decides to grant statehood to Hawaii and Alaska, that means a new flag. A new flag means that it's bad manners to fly an old one anymore. The only decent thing to do to burn the old ones. Its against the law to touch an old, old Glory to the ground and it's considered unpatriotic to pitch it on an ash heap or sew it up into nighties. All of which poses a lot of problems. I called C. R. Beard, a vice president of Annin and Company in New York. Annin makes more flags than anybody. Beard was in a great old tizzy. "We don't know," said he, "whether either Hawaii or Alas ka will be tacked onto the Union. But if one or the other or both are, we've got a big job to do." Heaven knows, he said, how many flags there in the country half a billion, maybe. He add ed that he wasn't too much wor ried about the new business that would come his company's way if the flag takes on another star, or two. Everybody would have to have a new flag. Add ing a star at a time would be fine with Beard, because it would add up to good business double business, Beard is a man who looks the future squarely in the eye. He's already got a couple of samples. If only one new state is added it would be comparatively sim ple, since any college graduate knows that seven times seven equal 49. That would make seven rows of stars, If both Hawaii and Alaska are added to the union at once, Beard, apparently a math sharp, has that all figured out too. "We'd have five rows of stars with 10 stars in each row. Both of these flags look mighty pretty mighty pretty." Beard said that his company has received all kinds of letters since the matter came up. Some people have suggested putting a little extra space on top of the flag and adding the stars one at a time as we add new states. Another person proposed that we have the blue space that way it is and crowd in the extra stars. "We still don't know what we're going to do. The last new flags came out on executive order in 1912, after Arizona was admitted to the union on Feb. 14th." Here in the capital Arthur E. Dubois, chief or the heraldic branch of the quartermaster gen eral corps, might get the job of redesigning a new flag. He said however, that nobody yet has consulted him about it. He said the President could create a spe cial commission or asign the job to the fine arts commission or congress could step in and take over. Officers of Guard Going to Vancouver Several officers of the 41st in fantry division, National Guard, from this area will be at Van couver Barracks the week-end of March 18-19 to attend a Northern Sub-area command post exercise. The exercise, which is for of ficers of the 41st division artil lery and regimental staffs, is be ing arranged by the Northern Sub-area of the Sixth army. Attending from this area will be the assistant division com mander, Brig. Gen. H. G. Mai son, and Maj. Bill K. Chapman, both of Salem; Lt. Col. Charles M. Thomas of Monmouth, Lt. Col. Arthur L. Lowe of Corval lis, Lt. Col. James D. Allgood of Dallas and Lt. Col. Paul L. Klie- ver of Lebanon. District Court's Power Limited The state supreme court ruled today that district judges have no power to set aside the verdicts of their own courts. The only counties which have district judges are Multnomah, Clackamas, Marion and Lane. They have virtually the same powers as justices of the peace. The decision was given in a suit for a $360 judgment brought by the Oregon-Washington credit and collection bureau against Burt Mitchell in the district court of Judge Paul C. Fischer of Clackamas county. Judge Mitchell's court ruled that Mitchell doesn't have to pay anything, but the judge reversed this ruling and held in favor of the credit bureau. The circuit court of former Judge Earl C. Latourette ruled that Judge Mitchell exceeded his authority in reversing the ver dict, and the supreme court de cision today by Justice J. O. Bailey held the same way. In an appeal from Columbia county, the supremecourtupheld a decision of Judge Howard K. Zimmerman that Mrs. Truce J. White isn't entitled to any dam ages as the result of a head-on collision between two automo biles. The supreme court opin ion was written by Justice Harry H. Belt. .

Warn Canners On Bargaining Portland, March 14 (North west canners were told yester day to avoid bargaining collec tively with farmers on crop prices. D. H. Mahoney, Washington, D. C, director of the raw prod ucts division of the National Canners association, warned such bargaining would violate anti-trust laws. Other speakers touched on technical phases of the indus try, and improvement of fruit quality. Kenneth E. Frick of Washing ton and Sid Jones of Oregon, ex penment station entomologists, reported lead arsenate spray still is the best known spray to com bat cherry fruit flies. They add ed that their experiments have yet to produce a way of control ling the Mineola worm, which damaged cherries in The Dalles area last year. r. . Mcualtray, Seattle, was elected president of the North Astronomer Believes 'Flying Saucer' Probably Is Meteor Salinas, Calif., March 14 (U.R) A "flying saucer" that frightened residents as it frolicked through the California sky probably was a meteor, University of California astronomers said today. Dr. Alin Eggcn of the University observatory on nearby Mount Hamilton said the meteor must have been a "fair-sized one, large enough to get down to earth before burning out " A score of persons called the sheriff's office and the local newspaper Saturday night to re port a bright object in the skies. Some said it dove on their auto mobiles, others said it was loop ing the loop and another said it zipped across the norizon. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Amateur . Photographer Bette Malles wondered whether she had taken a picture of a flying saucer. She planned to give sci entists pictures of a disk-like ob ject she said she photographed in a sunset sky. Mjss Malles said she was about to take a picture of a small plane flying over nearby Hawthorne airfield when she saw something shining closer by. She snapped the shutter on it. When she developed the film, she found she had exposed a lu minous oblong "doughnut" with a dark center, suggesting a hole. Ahead of the disk was a circu lar blob, somewhat resembling a miniature sim. Lines of light seemed to proj ect backward from the "sun" toward the "doughnut," and a cone-like faint light connected with the blob to the disk. Ano ther cone of light projected backward from the disk to an other blob of light. The most vivid description of the Salinas "saucer" came from Mrs. Sam Raguindin of Chua lar, Calif. She said she was driv ing south of Salinas when it swooped down over her car, She thought it was a meteor at first, but she changed her mind when it appeared headed for her. "I got scared and stopped the car," she said. "The thing look ed like two dinner plates placed together. "It came down to what look ed like about 2000 feet. As it came close, it gave off a strong bluish-white light that hurt our eyes like a welder s torch. Then, she continued, the sau cer seemed to loop the loop 1 and whizzed away southwards. Five minutes later, Market Owner Hiram Don called to re port a bright object in the sky He said it had a fiery tail and was traveling "quite close" to the ground. Other witnesses said the object looked like a meteor or falling star, "although not exactly." Story Reviews Rail Progress The story of Southern Paci fic through the first half of the 20th century is told in words and pictures in the current issue of the Southern Pacific Bulletin, the railroad's employe maga zine. Cars and trains of today and 50 years ago are pictured, as are costumes of the era, and such rrajor events as damming the Colorado River- break in 1906 07, completing the 32-mile cut off across Great Salt Lake, troop movement by rail during the two World Wars, inaugura tion of streamliners and the railroad's speedy "Overnights" in freight service. In paying tribute to the rail road's employes, the magazine states: "Progressiveness and the ability to get things done are inherent traits of the SP rail roader, handed down from the pioneer Central Pacific build ers." Indicating the railroad s growth in 50 years, the maga zine points out that in 1900 the company had 7,964 miles of track as compared with 12,454 miles today. & Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Tuesday, March 14, 1950 11 Held Roy W.
