JUST LIKE sticks in the sky, nothing more. That thought came to a little guy, a citizen of this towh, the other day as he looked up at the billowy clouds moving swiftly before the winds of & Dew season. : It was the kind of a day when a man felt good.

There was some thinking to be done. Punching in an imaginary timeclock, I went to work. Why are there so many empty flag poles” How come on a nice day like this, stores.and. hotels. and other business houses aren't flying Old Glory? Could be a mighty pretty sight; I thought. Inspiring, too. Might make a man's scalp crinkle even more. ;
‘Let's Get Going Feet’ WHO WAS flying a flag” Come on feet, I said, let's'take a look around. No sense in getting corny or climbing on a soap box but some pavement pounding might be interesting. The first thing I did was glance west on Market Bt. The Statehouse was flying a flag. . The Traction Terminal Bldg. had an empty flag pole. Just then the clouds framed the pole in white’ against the blue sky and the emptiness became more pronounced. How much does a flag cost? Block's had six empty poles, two on top of the

HOW MANY-flags would you s&V the Federal building uses in 12 months? You know, of course, | a flag is flown there every day. Well, they'll average 11 flags a year. Cost? If bought from| a flag house, the 5x9-foot size would cost about! $100 a dozen. Flags flown here, however, are sent from Washington and to find the exact cost would probably require a Senate investigation. In my travels I discovered a nylon flag is now on the market costing approximately twice as much as the regular bunting flag but it lasts five times as long. A dealer in the city has been flying a nylon flag now for 14 Jveeks, day and night, and it's still in good shape. I saw it. As I was saying, most of the flag poles look like sticks, nothing more. The strange part, though, is that we love our flag as much as anyone. { We're funny, you know. Especially on beautiful days when a man feels like looking up.

NEW YORK, Apr. 12—It is entirely human foible, in the individual, to enshrine a momentous event in terms of what he himself was doing at the time. Say, maybe, Pearl Harbor: That Dec. 7 I was covering a singularly bad football game. Maybe Jou were drying yourself after a shower, when you eard the news. Or pouring a cocktail. Or shaving. Whatever. : : It seems short, now, but it's been four years since Franklin - D. Roosevelt died suddenly in office. It was Apr. 12 here, but it was Apr. 13. where I was—in Australia. And aFriday to boot.
de SLT AT “giways remember that Friday--
that feeling sudden helplessness, after dependence on one mar for so long a time. More than my own sudden bewilderment was the tangi‘ble panic of strangers, foreigners, who knew the man only from afar. ox I remember I was up in raucotts Sydney on - Navy business, from my stamping ground in sedate Melbourne. The business was over early on Apr. 12——Apr. 11, your time—and I had what is known as a wet night. Mixed up in it was a Royal Navy Air Force type whom we called the Hon. Mike. The Hon. Mike was a man of semi-noble blood, ~of extrav-
_. agant tastes, of compelling whim, and limitless
alcoholic capacity. I can’t remember his last name to save me.
Collided in a Snooty Cafe
THE HON. MIKE and I had collided in a Sydney cafe called Prince's. -Prince’s was the tontest jernt in town. It was patronized by ‘the . likes of Princess Elizabeth's new husband and the Marquess of Milford Haven, : By some democratic miracle—involving the bribery of a fine waiter named John—I had a superiority complex about Prince's. I had a better permanent pew in it than did either Prince Philip or Milford Haven. Mike and I spent a long evening discussing Anglo-American relations and doing the rhumba with whatever was at hand. It was such an evening that it seemed silly to go to bed, with a plane to catch at 7a. m. I am afraid we turned up at the airport a bit tiddly, as the Hon. Mike would have described it. Er : The Hon. Mike said he didn’t care a penn'orth

WASHINGTON, Apr. 12—For the 63d year the Senate Finance Committee now has under con‘sideration a bill to remove the taxes on oleomargarine. It is having trouble keeping ‘ts eyes open. So,am I. : * The same people are making the same arguments, pro and con, and "assing around the same samples and as Sén..J. W: Fulbright of Arkansas said, there simply isn't anything new to say on the subject. He then speat one hour explaining the situation. And I sneaked out the side door with Paul T. Truitt, president of‘ the National Association of Margarine Manufacturers, whose group has been arguing since the Gay Nineties for the chance to compete with butter on an even keel. This year it looks as though they may win their fight.
They Won't Eat It White
SO LET'S forget the hattle and listen to Mr. Truitt about some of the facts of margarine life. Years ago, he said, he and his association figured if they couldnt lick the 10-cents-per-pound tax on yellow margarine, maybe they could persuade the people to »at it white. This was an utter fizzle. “We learned that you never can tamper with the eating habits of human beings,” he said. “We had to give that up.” So the margarine poys oegan putting in colorIng powders with each pound. Nine years ago Leo J. Peters, the Chicago inventor, came up with the capsule of color to be kneaded into the margarine inside a plastic package. No fuss, no muss, ‘he sald. The industry ignored him for nearly seven years, when the Cudahy Packing Co. tried his system. It was an mmstant success. Cudahy’s business boomed, other manufacturers were forced to adopt the capsule-squeezing and Mr. Peters became a wealthy man. “But the industry never nas approved of the fdea,” Mr. Truitt said. “For one thing, a Peters package with capsule costs 23; cents. Putting the margarine into the sack costs another 2% And the extra nickel has to be charged
if the bloody plane did crash. The pilot evidently felt the same way. He took off, once, with two field attendants inside. He took off again with
the door open, and a heavy overload. [IE
The Hon. Mike and I were sitting on the floor | of the thing, toasting each other silently and waiting blithely for death. After all, it was Fiiday the 13th. i Both of us finally slept. When we woke, three hours later, we were in Melbourne. We yawned, burped, andd stepped out of the plane. The first member of the ground-crew to spot my American uniform spoke in solemn tone: od “Gor stryke me ’'andsome,” he said.’ “Wot'll we do? Wot'll we do?” «*What's the strife, Mac?” sald IL

t was a funny thing. I could see it work on the Hon. Mike. I looked at Mike, and Mike looked at me. “What time did he die?” we both asked, and neither of us meant Churchill or Hirohito. We swiftly knew who was dead. I suddenly realized that, even to me, in a foreign land, Roosevelt meant America as much as Washington once meant America and as much as Lincoln once meant America. “I don't know exactly when,” the crewman said. “But wot do you chaps do now? Wot'll we all do now?” That was the question all day long. What will we do, now he's gone? Everybody asked it. It -was precisely as if the continent of North America had suddenly sunk. What, pray, was the world to do? FDR had represented us as thoroughly as Joe Louis dominated the heavyweight prizefight circles. What will we do? I muttered through my loss of sleep that we] would muddle through somehow, that the hour) produced the man. And so we have muddled through. But never will I forget the bleak hour on the bleak day that the entire world asked the same question: Now he’s gone, what will we do? | And remember, both Mike and I were pretty]
frivolous fellows.
