SERVICE FLAG
Senators Pass Bill Backed By Legion; Clarify Use Of U. S. Emblem.
WASHINGTON, June 16 (U. P.). —The senate yesterday passed an
sent to the house legislation authorizing a standard design service flag and another measure clarifying existing regulations for displaying the American flag. The service flag bill, endorsed by the American Legion, authorizes the secretary of war to approve a stane dard design. The flag will be dis played in homes of those in the armed services. It was introduced by Senator Bennett C. Clark (D. Mo.). The legislation “to codify and emphasize existing rules and cus toms pertaining to the display and use of the United States flag” is a joint resolution already adopted by the house. The senate inserted seve eral amendments, however, and ree turned the measure to the house. Another measure passed by the senate and sent to the house provides that men who have entered the armed forces since passage of the selective service act, and who have not applied for service insure ance, will be protected by $5000 ine surance in event of injury or disease suffered during active duty. Premiums on the insurance would be waived until six months after the insured ceases to be totally dise abled or until April 20, 1943, “whiche ever is the earlier date.”
TOWNSEND PENSION BACKERS HOPEFUL ,

The Townsendites hope to secure an additional 40 signatures today to a petition that would discharge the house ways and means committee from considering their bill and bring it to the house floor. The bill, sponsored by Rep. James F. O'Connor (D. Mont.) has been be= fore the committee since Jan. 3, 1941,

Combinations Possible
ALL SORTS of combinations are possible. Nos. 15-21-38 read: “No news of you for some time. Please reply worried. Loving greetings from all of us.” No. 85 is “son born” and No. 86 is “daughter born.” There doesn’t seem to be any way to announce twins—apparently along with the other expenses one would have to send a straight message for that one. Of course one might try to send Nos. 85-85 for twin boys or Nos. 86-86-86 for triplet daughters but the recipient might merely think the sender was excited and repeating for emphasis. There are some very prosaic and practical texts such as “please write” and “please telegraph.” Then one can say “please send me blank dollars.” A soldier doesn't have to be that blunt with the old man at home, however. He can cable more discreetly No. 102—“can you send me any money’—or No. 103— “glad if you could send some money’”— or even by saying (No. 108) “have not received money.”
