FLAG DAY
DAD'S PUTTING
THE FLAG UP ON THE
FRONT PORCH
^ / JUST ABOUT NOW !
OLD GLORY
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress offic
ially declared the Stars and Stripes to be the flag of
the United States. One hundred twenty years later,
someone resurrected this significant fact, and Flag Day
became a day for annual observance in 1897.
This 176th anniversary of the original event
—which is 35 stars later, and should be 37—seems a
good time to recall the words of Woodrow Wilson on
an earlier Flag Day:
“ . . . This flag which we honor, and under which
we serve , is the emblem of our unity, our power, our
thought and purpose as a nation. It has no other char
acter than that which we give it from generation to
generation. The choice is ours.”

Administration Has Made
Good Start in Achieving
Its Goals, Says President
(Continued trom Page One)
of government is in peril unless
each branch willingly accepts and
discharges its own clear responsi
bilities—and respects the rights
and responsibilities of others.”
Government Harmony Needed
Eisenhower’s call for harmony
between the White House and
Congress came against the back
ground of administration drives
for the President’s program to
continue present tax levels and
for reduced military spending.
Both programs have come under
fire in Congress, some of it Re
publican.
The President told his audience
GOP tenure in control of the gov
ernment “will depend, first of all,
upon Republican performance —
upon the wisdom and unity we
prove in advancing a program
that will serve the interests and
needs of all our citizens.”

Engineers Asked
To Solve Military’s
Problems in Arctic
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., UP) —
An Air Force officer asked engin
eers Thursday for quick help in
solving problems the U.S. meets
in building and operating bases
in the Arctic.
“Your immediate contribution
for improvement of . . . operation
al techniques is of vital impor
tance,” Col. Bernt Balchen told
the Society of Automotive Engin
eers meeting here.
Balchen said the key to “suc
cessful solution of engineering
problems in the Arctic is to learn
to work with, not against, a sev
ere nature and have nature work
for us.”
Among the Arctic problems that
Balchen tossed in the engineers’
laps were:
1. Development of field main
tenance techniques for aircraft,
motor vehicles, construction equip
ment, ordnance and communica
tion equipment.
2. Development of fuels, lubri
cants and explosives to meet Arc
tic requirements related to stor
age, handling and use.
3. Development of materials and
methods for all-year-round con
struction, such as concrete pour
ing and mortar fabrication.
Balchen, deputy chief of plan
ning for Air Force Arctic opera
tions, led off the second in a two
day series of meetings on the Arc
tic and the challenge it presents
to engineers.
Another Air Force officer, Lt.
Col. Joseph O. Fletcher, empha
sized the military importance of
the Arctic regions. “Should war
come, we will do much of our
fighting in the Arctic, and there
it will be on nature’s terms,” he
said.
Fletcher told the engineers that
the atomic submarine and the air
plane are tools naturally suited
for the Arctic. To the submarine,
the pack ice, which restricts its
access to the surface, also offers
protection from detection and at
tack from the air and prevents
the heavy seas that accompany
gales in other oceans.
“From the shelter to the pack,
forays against thousands of miles
of strategic coastline can be
made,” he said.
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Sen
ate Labor Committee approved a
bill yesterday to give congression
al approval to a western states
compact setting up a regional sys
tem of graduate and professional
education.
Eleven states, Alaska and Ha
waii are involved in the compact.
Chairman H. Alexander Smith
(R-NJ) of the committee said the
states and territories were parti
cularly interested in establishing
medical schools which would
draw students from the entire
region.
