AMBASSADOR BALL, BY ONE CAN WE WAVE THE FLAG TOO MUCH? Is it possible to wave the flag too much? Provided, of course, that you wave it with integrity? Is it possible to study Lincoln or Shakespeare too much'’ Is it possible to read the Bible too much? The great, the good, the true, are inexhaus tible for inspiration, example and strength. I believe that we are not waving our flag enough, not nearly enough. It seems to me that we are deveiopuie a tendency to be timid or even apologetic alxiut waving the stars and strips. Walk up and down the streets on July 4th and count the flags. It is our nation’s birthday, a sacred day m world history, the most important day of America. Why isn’t the flag flying on every rooftop and from every home and building? This complacent attitude is strong evidence of cancerous patriotic decay. The flag is a symbol of our national unity. It is the spirit of our undying devotion to our country. It stands for the best that is in us . .. for loyalty, character, and faith in democracy. Isn’t our flag a synonym of the UnitedStates of America? Does it not represent man's greatest, noblest, most sublime dream? Is it not the zenith of achievement, the goal to which generations have aspired? Ladies and gentlemen, 1 believe it is time for us . . . for the mad, rushing Twentieth Century American ... to stop for a moment and think Let us arrest our near reverential admira tion of material success and return to the spiritual and ethical values. Let us imbue and rekindle in ourselves and our children the so-called old-fashioned wayof patriotism, a burning devotion to the principles and ideals upon which our country was founded. Should not every home own and proudly display the colors on holidays and other such occasions? Isn’t the flag Patrick Henry, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Nathan Hale, Gettys burg and Valley Forge, Paul Revere, Jackson and other great men and women who have given us our heritage. When you look at the flagcan’t you see the Alamo, Corrigedor, Pearl Har bor, The Monitor, The Merrimac, Wake Island, and Korea? Lest we forget, isn’t the flag Flanders Field, Bataan, Iwo Jima, Normandy, Babe Ruth and Davy Crockett? The great events of our past and present are wrapped up in our flag. It is a symbol of this blessed nation, a giant in industry, education and commerce. Millions of fertile square miles, wheatlands, coal mines, steel plants. Our great republic, the chosen infant destined to be man’s last and remaining hope for suffering humanity, a shining beacon of light, noble and glorious, the haven for the oppressed and persecuted and truly God’s gift to mankind. That is what the flag means to me. Can we wave it too much? I don’t think so. - S. L. DeLove. President Johnson’s appointment of George W. Ball as Ambassador to the United Nations won the approval of the US Senate on May 13, by one vote. And that one vote was cast by the presiding officer of the moment, Senator Cannon, of Nevada. Actually, when the nomination was put to a voice vote, there were exactly four Senators on the floor. Two voted for confirmation. Two voted against. It was thereupon necessary for the presiding officer to break the tie, or the nomination would have had to go back to committee. The fact that 95 Senators absented themselves speaks volumes as to the low estate to which the UN has fallen in the eyes of the Senate, which is mindful that it has proved useless in resolving the Vietnam war and the Israeli-Arab conflict. But the narrow vote was also a reflection of the Senate’s opinion of Mr. George W. Ball. The two Senators who voted against confirmation were John J. Williams, of Delaware, and Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. Here, in part, is what the forthright Senator Thurmond told his constituents: ”, . . Mr. Ball was the No. 2 man in the State Department in 1963 when three of his subordinates testified before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee about wiretapping in the Otto Otepka case, and gave testi mony which was subsequently shown to be false. Secretary Rusk put Mr. Ball in charge of handling the affair. Under Mr. Ball’s orders, the three witnesses sent in written retractions, which also were shown to be false. Called in a third time, at least one of them lied again. ‘‘Either Mr. Ball knew the statements were false, or he didn’t. However, he had the duty to find out the facts in the case. Either he condoned lying, or he failed in his duty to learn the facts. COMING EVENTS? “When Mr. Ball went before the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee this month, he denied the very existence of the State Department's electronics laboratory, the facility which was used to tap Mr. Otepka’s telephone. He denied the TODAY - 10:30 a.m. Senior existence of a facility for which the State Department seeks Citizens picnic at the home of appropriations every year, and whose blueprints are locked Dr. and Mrs. John E.

For this reason I learned most of the American customs and life during my school year and during this time I stayed with the Adams family. Now the time is coming closer for me to leave Nyssa. Before I leave this friendly town I like to thank all of its friendly people for giving me the opportunity to visit this wonderful place. Probably this year wouldn’t have been so nice if I hadn’t stayed with Adams family. Therefore first I thank my American family who treated me just like their son. Also I thank all of the Nyssa High School students for being so friendly to me, my teachers who acted not only as teachers but as friends too, the persons who invited me to dinner, and my adviser, teacher, and friend, Mr. Swisher.
