One who takes a refreshingly opposite position is young GOP Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon. who recently made one of the most statesmanlike speeches heard in the senate in many months.

' Uncle Sam Says A Serious Problem of Flag July 4th will be the one hundred and twenty-eight- h anniversary of the American flag in its present form. When the flag was adopted, June 14, 1777, it had 13 stars and 13 stripes. Thereafter, a star and stripe were added for each additional state. By April, 1819, the stripes totaled 20, and congress ruled that the flag should have 13 stripes, one for each of the original states, but that there should be as many stars as states. This act of congress became ef- fective July 4, 1819, hence that day is the birthday of the present flag. With possibilities of the admission of additional states, it is possible that the present arrangement of the stars may have to be changed. Everybody knows it pays to buy S. Bonds. But not everybody knows how much it pays. By investing as small a sum as $2.50 a week in U. S. Bonds, your savings will be $1,440.84 in ten years. Take savings of $3.75 a week; by 1957, you will have $2,163.45. There are two easy ways to save automatically.
