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

appropriations every year, and whose blueprints are locked Dr. and Mrs. John E. Long.

I came to the U. S. A.5n
August 1967 from Turkey as an
exchange student. Before lused
the American customs I at
tended the Nyssa High School.
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.
