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.

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.
