PETTICOAJ TALE
 IS BUT A MYTH
Nothing to Story About Betsy
 Ross Garment

Fayetteville, Ark. April RD-- The immortal petticoat of Betsy Ross Is due for the limbo of historical myths, If Dr. George E, Hastings. as- sociate professor of English at the University of Arkansas has his way.
 Dr. Hastings, in his book "Tho life and Works of Francis Hopiin- son." sings requiem for Mrs, Ross famous petticoat. which tradition says was used 10 make the stfipes for the first American flag. The book. which Is to be published this spring by the University of Chicago Press, credits Hopllinson with hay ing designed the Stars and Stripes.
 Tradition has 1t that Betsy Ross was asked 10 make the first AmeM- can flag for General Washington. Dr. Hastings declares that he can trace this tradition back no farther than 1870, when a grandson of Mrs. Ross announced that it was his grandmother who had done the de- signing of the flag, he having heard his forhears mako that statement.
 In going through the papers Of the Continental Congress in the Con- gressional Library at Washington, pr. Hastings says he found Mir. Hop kinson's bill for designing the flag, which was adopted by the Continent al Congress In TIT.
 Mir. Hopkinson had suggested, hu- morously that quarter of q cask of public wine would be a suitable re- ward. As he had designed the seal for the department of admiralty and that for number of other govern mental departments, Hopkinson, In 17S0, was asked to submit an item ized statement of all his charges.
 This statement, including that for designing the flag, is on file irY the Congressional library and amounts to 2700 pounds sterling.
 Tn addition 10 designing the first flag, the author says. Hopkinson had the distinction of being the author of the first hook of music ever pub lished in America. The book was q compilation entitled "Seven Songs"
 Although Hopkinson died in 17a1 at the age of 54, his achievements were many. A painter. poet. essay ist, inventor and lawyer. he was q close friend of Washington, Jeffer- son and Franklin and like the first two was signer of the Declaration of Indepc' dence and q member of the Second Continental Congress. Sidelights Of these illustrious figures in early American history arc brought out in correspondence con- tained in tho book.
 Besides serving in the Continental Congress, Hopkinson had charge of the administration of the navy. He also dosignod seals for the American PhilosophiH society, the state of New Jersey and the University of Penn- syivania.
 Dr. Hastings became interested in Hopkinson while graduate student at Harvard and made him the sub 1oct of his doctoral thesis. Since that time hc has continued the study over A p"riod of eight years dclving into Revolutionary var records Of n score of thh larger public libraries on the Atl1nti" Soahoard.
