recall the story of the first American
flag to float over an American vessei
and to go down, not in defeat, but IN
victory.
The flag was hoisted on the Ranger
on July. 4, 1777, by John Paul Jones,
founder of the american Navy. ~
Is said the flag was made by quitting
party Of young women at Portsmouth

launched. The thirteen white stripes
were cut from q white silk dress In

ried to a young officer several months

'Herd-Housing' of Clerks
Highly Undesirable
To the Editor of The Star:

TO the Editor OF The Star:
j find myself quite in agreement
with the views expressed by former
Representative Stengle in your issue
of the goth. The employees of the
Government are it's servants during
the hours of their employment, but at
other times they assume their full in
dlvlduallty as citizens, and there is no
more reason for them to be. as STEM
gle says. huddled together in resi-
dences than for any other class of in
telligent and specialized workers to be
economically cOerced in their resi-
dence rights.
If big apartments are provided by
philanthropic enterprise so that living
quarters may be obtained at less cost
than at present, 81 condition of eco
nomic coercion will thereby be Gre
ated which would have unfortunate
aspects.
1t is a primary law of wages that
compensation for the worker tends to
gravitate to the plane of elementary
existence: and anything that looks to-
ward making it possible for the Gov
ernment employees to gain q little
more margin over the bare outlay for
subsistence would tend to hold their
compensation at the present made
quate level, or even to bring about it's
lowering. The standard of living for
those in group occupations lies not in
the direction of paternalistic pro-
visions-and this would be of a semi.
sort-but in the achievement by them
of an ampler wage.
The promotion of deadening bu-
rea ucracy would follow the creation of
an Office working class. lost to a sense
Of the individuality of it's members
through virtual submergence in its
occupational character.

Let This Russian Remain!

II there has ever been a case iusti
Tying special dispensation in the ad.
ministration Of the immigration laws
IT Is that OF Georges Zagorsky, who is
under sentence" of deportation on
the expiration of his six months Wis.
itors' pass in November. Zagorsky.
the son Of former Czarist general. is
on the bolshevik blacklists. His
father and all the other members of
his family, except a younger brother,
have been executed by the Soviet gov.
ernment. In retaliation for these
crimes Zagorsky says that he subse-
quently took part in hanging eighteen
bolshevists. He escaped from Russia
and some time ago came to the United
States, but was only admitted on a
temporary basis. His effort to enlist
IN the United States Army to prevent
being returned to Russia brought his
case to the notice Of the immigration
authorities, who ordered his deporta-
ton three months hence. The other
day he tried to take his life by leap
ing from the parapet at the base of
the Statue Of Liberty in New York,
but was prevented by a coast guard.
Numerous exceptions have been
made to the strict letter of the imnli-
grafton law to prevent cruelties. This
is surely one instance in which the
United States can waive the statute
in order that this young man should
be permitted to remain here. If he
were sent back to Russia it would be
to certain death. He wants to stay
here, wants to become a citizen, wants
even to serve in the American Army
in order to establish his status here.
No consideration of quota" should
weigh against him. There are GER
tainly so many Of the wrong kind of
Russians here, working diligently to
undermine this Government through
their Moscow.directed activities among
the working classes and the children,
as to justify the admission of one Of
the other sort. His pass" should be
indefinitely extended.
