Old Glory goes marching on.
Milestone after milestone has
been passed and June IA will mark
the I57th anniversary Of the be-
loved symbol Of the nation. Many
patriotic Americans will be proud
to display their flag on this date
in observance of Flag Day.
Floating from the lofty pinnacle
of American idealism, our flag is
beacon of enduring hope, like
the famous Bartholdi Statute of
Liberty enlightening the world to
the oppressed of all lands. 1t is
the revered banner of an assem-
blage of free people from every
racial stock on earth.
George Washington said: I'VE
take the stars from heaven, the
red from our mother country,
separating 1t by white stripes,
thus showing that we have sep.
arated from her, and the white
stripes shall go down to posterity
representing liberty"
Long before Old Glory became
the symbol of our great nation,
there were scores of flags rep
reseHting the hopes and aspira.
tons of our forefathers. Colonial
flags show anchors. beavers, rat
tlesnakes. pine trees and various
other insignia. Some of them bore
the words, Hope" Liberty" OF
"An Appeal to Heaven" A IA
vorite motto beneath the rattle
snake design was Don't tread on
me-"
Old Glory's immediate ancestor
was the Grand Union Flag. some
times called the Cambridge Flag.

POWDERS
HIRAM BINCHAM'S
POLITICAL FUTURE
THERE IS AMPLE
EVIDENCE OF CONNECT.
cur FIGURES RELUc-
TANcE TO QUIT SCENE
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
tDy Associated PressD

WASHINGTON, June 14.-A
favorite backstage topic Of con-
versation in the capital at pres
TENT concerns Hiram Bingham Of
Connecticut and his political fu-
ture.
The former senator, dubbed by
his colleagues as the tall syca-
more Of Connecticut fell a vic
| tim of the Roosevelt landslide in
'32. Bingham's defeat, however,
was not SO decisive as those of
some Of his republican brethren.
There was margin Of only 4,266
votes between him and reelection.
Circumstances make it all but
impossible for him to seek to re-
entry to the senate for the time
being. There's a senatorial cleo
ton in Connecticut this year, but
the republican incumbent is Fred
Walcott--clOse personal friend
and ally of Bingham.
If he hopes to stage q comeback.
therefore, he must chart his course
In another direction. And gossip
has It that seat in the house is
what he has in mind.
In c. o. r. Stronghold
There's ample evidence OF
f,inghanl's reluctance to quit the
washington senate.
The greatest part Of his time
since leaving the senate has been
spent in the capital. He has MAIN
tanned his sumptuous apartment
on fashionable Sixteenth street.
AS president Of the National Aero
nautics association, he has kept an
office here and frequently his pic
ture may be seen in the news
papers in connection with some
! phase Of that organizations activi-
ties.
There's even more concrete evi'
/ dence to be had in Connecticut.
Recently he opened up his home
!! in New Salem, in the eastern part
81 the state. New Salem is in the
! large second congressional district
Ia veritable stronghold of repub.
licanism.
Nomination for congress IN the
second district on the republican
ticket Is regarded as tantamouni
to election.
Escaping ohIivion
Those familiar with Connectical
politics believe Binghani Is toy
ing With the idea Of. running fbl
the house. They say. however,
that his chances Of getting the
|.n0,hmation Il another st9,s Il
wouldn't be handed to him on q
silver platter, they Indicate.
And that brings up the question
whether Bingham would risk his
political prestige in Connecticut
IN what might prove 10 be 4 los
ing fight. His friends believe he
would not.
Il Is true. however, seat in the
house is coming more and more
in favor Of retired senators. Ever
since Wadsworth Of New York,
former senator. took his scat in
the present congress. the position
has grown in favor. Heflin OF
Alabama tried q comeback By this
route. For while Il was thought
Jim Watson Of Indiana might Try
IL.
Like Wadswnrth. they have
come to realize il il an excellent
way to escape political oblivion.
