FLAG DAY TODAY
i ALMOST IGNORED
No Celebration Planned for
159th Birthday Anniver-
ssary of Stars and Stripes.

To-day is National Flag day. the
f59th birthday anniversary OF the
Stars and Stripes.
During the World War and for
several years thereafter, the day was
celebrated with parades and public
ceremonies throughout the country.
But interest in the observance has
declined in late years. according to
Col. James A. Moss, president general
Of the United States Flag Association
semi Official sponsor of Flag day.
Col. Moss, a retired Army officer,
predicted yesterday the day would
pass practically unnoticed," and de-
clared that IL years of effort to pro-
mote observance of the flags birth
day have been largely futile"
Flag Presented School
Two American flags which once be-
longed to the late James F. Oyster,
former Commissioner of the District,
were presented to the James F.
Oyster School at ceremonies Friday
by James F. Oyster, Sd, 6-year-old
grandson of the former Commissioner.
! The Continental Congress adopted
the Stars and Stripes as the official
symbol of the United States on June
IA, 1777.
The anniversary has been observed
sporadically ever since, although it
has never been designated a national
holiday.
Navy and War Departments said
they planned no formal observance.
Officials in other departments said
that only the every day number Of
flags would be displayed on their
buildings.
Complaining of the "deep-rooted in
difference of the American people,
Col. Moss said interest in Flag day has
been steadily declining for several
years"
Replaced Unofficial Banner.
When the national flag was adopted
i59 years ago it replaced scores Of un-
official banners which had been hoist
ed throughout the rebellious Colonies.
A favorite design was a rattlesnake,
with the motto Don't tread on me. :"
First flag to float over George Wash
ington's army headquarters was not
the stars and stripes, but the so-called
grand union banner. 1t had 13 stripes,
but where the stars now appear II
showed the crosses of st. George and
St Andrew.
The official American flag was under
fire for the first time on September
IL. 1777, in the Battle of Brandywine.
Two new stars and two new stripes
were added in 1894, when the first ad-
ditional States-Kentucky and Ver-
mont-were admitted to the union
The original number of stripes was
restored by congressional action IN
1918, with the provision that new
star should be added for each new
State.

late date the great mass Of people
including those who nominated him
know nothing about his record. He Is
the great mystery candidate, and there
is no parallel for his nomination In
recent political history.
Great Game Of Deception.
The reason why Gov. Landon was
nominated, instead Of man who has
been frank in opposing the New Deal
openly, is perfectly apparent. The
great game Of deception will soon be
under way. In conservative COM
munities Gov. Landon will be pic
tured as an old-line, reactionary Re-
publican, who dislikes innovations
and who has his fleet on the ground" Z"
In the Midwest and Far West he will
be pictured as the new leader who
routed the old guard, and who Is
about to convert the G. o. p. into a
rip-snorting progressive and liberal
party.
The plan is to offer one part of the
country as imitation New Deal and
at the same time to offer other ele-
ments in the party a return to old
fashioned reactionary Republican prin-
ciples. The Republican party has
made an accomplished art of the diff
cult business of facing both ways in
a national election. Once again it
proposes to be all things to all men.
BY the action taken at Cleveland,
the Republican party has repudiated
everything its leaders have been say
ing for the past three years. From
It's press section at national head
quarters here, literally tons Of propa-
ganda have been poured forth de-
nouncing and reviling the New Deal
and all its works. Now the party in
national convention tries to adopt a
New Deal in concealed form. If the
Republican leaders are unable to con-
vince themselves, how can they con-
vince the country? II they really be-
lieved the New Deal was destroying
the country, why did they turn their
backs on the reactionary principles
espoused in the 1882 Republican plat
form?
The manner in which Gov. Lam
don's record on public questions has
been ignored or concealed amounts
to little less than a national con-

will be hive of industry. and there
may be a headquarters still farther
West in addition. Harrison Spangler,
national committeeman for Iowa has
been in charge Of the Chicago head
quarters and already has built up q
strong organization there, which has
been at work for several months.
The slip which Chairman James A.
Farley of the Democratic National
Committee made when he spoke dis
paragingly of the then probably Re-
publican nominee for President as a
Governor Of typical prairie State"
has been meat for the Western Re-
publlcans. 1t Is likely to play an i'm
portant part yet In this campaign. At
the Republican National Convention,
during the roll call for the presi-
Dental nomination, the chairmen Of
many Of the Western States delega-
tions announcing their choice said
the votes came from a typical
Western State" and all Of that went
out over Nationwide radio hook-ups.
How many of the Republican pro-
gressive leaders-in the Senate and
out-are going to hold out this year
against this Republican youthful
Western ticket? The chances are
there will not be many. The state
ment issued by Senator Norris Of
Nebraska declaring in favor Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt had long been dis
counted. He said months ago he
would support him for reelection.
And the Norris attempt to paint
Landon as controlled by the Old
Guard Of the East Is likely to fall en-
tirely fat. If the Eastern Republicans
themselves have had any such idea in
their minds, they are due for an awak-
ening.
Senator Borah Of Idaho has made
no announcement of his future plans
and says he will not make any until
he has gone West. But the statement
he issued left him In position to sup
port the Landcu ticket If he wishes.
He gained his objectives IN the Re-
publican national platform almost
100 per cent. 1t Is liberal platform.
The foreign relations plank is exactly
as he wished it. The monopoly plank,
while 1t does not contain all the Ian
guage he asked for, covers all the

spiracy of silence on the part of Re-
publican leaders. He has now ac-
cepted nomination on platform
which denounces almost every prin-
ciple which he has advocated dur
ing the past three years.
After seeing bis record, the con-
clusion is inevitable that Gov. Ian
don is about to make general con-
fession- and to announce that every
thing he advocated as a cure for the
depression was wrong and dangerous.
The voters may judge whether his con-
version Is genuine or shaped to con-
form to the platform adopted at
Cleveland.
It should be borne in mind that
when Gov. Landon advocated currency
imitation in 1888, he was merely ad-
vocating the views still advocated by
his Republican followers in Kansas.
On May 13, the Frazier-Lemke bill,
an inflationary measure, was defeated
in the House of Representatives and
that defeat was blamed on the Roose-
welt administration. Kansas Repub-
hcans voted for the bill, with the ex-
ception of Representative Clifford
Hope, who neatly ducked the vote.
Hope is hoping to be Mr.. Landon's
Secretary of Agriculture in the un-
likely event that he should be elected.

 The race brought more than two hQndred and ff- ty people down onto Front Street m front of the City Hall, on Nome's 90-foot main boulevard. where the starting and finishing line was drawn.
 Starting out the spring dog racing season, this fir st race, unmistakably drew the largest display of en- thusiasm and energetic in- terest seen in Nome of re- cent years. It was stated Club that more races would by directors of the Kennel certainly be run in the near future if this kind of SUD- port can be expected.

Star-Lites From Hollywood By

Hollywood, Calfi., Jan. 31-The strict censorship which started the movie in dustry to revert from the modern racy and seXy stor- ies to the old reliable hist Oric dramas seems to have been successful even after a year and a half under the new censorship code.
 At this time l might add that it is appropriate to say that this new censorship brought about a complete revolutionary change in the types of stories l ven ture to say that during the preceding year more excel lent vehicles were produc- ed than during any other year in the history of mo- tion pictures.
 Even now at the begin ming of the new year, the motion picture business has a bright and rosy fut- ure because every studio has either under prepara- tion or in production doz- ems of excellent stories that will not even need to be shown to the censors since their themes are highly ed CContinued on Page Three.

Juneau, Feb. 12, - A wireless message from the school superintendent at Barrow, Frank Daugherty, to Charles w. Hawkeswor- tn, head of the Alaska bur eau of the Office of Indian Affairs, said that reindeer meat is available to all at Barrow.
 The Eskimos were told they could have plenty of fuel if they would haul it to the village.

Fixes Budget For the Next
Two School Years and
Transact Other Business
AMOUNTS TO s3,SOO,OOO

A S3,800,000 budget adopted by
the State Board of Education at
Dover Monday provides for full
restoration of the recent 10 per
cent reduction in teachers salaries
The budget is for S3,SOO,0O0 a year
for the two fiscal years starting
July 1, 1887. An appropriation of
$4,000 a year for special main
tenance, including repairing of GER
tain schools, will also be recon-
mended in this budget for the BIZ
ennium. The budget will be sub
mitted to the next Legislature for
approval. The 1936-37 budget of
S3,657 900 restored 5 per cent of
the salary cuts necessitated by
dwindling income. The S143, 900
increase to be recommended would
return teachers salaries to the pre-
reduction level. Operating cost is
limited to 100000 as the year be-
fore. The board denied request
by several school divisions for a
S125,000 increase in operating ex-
penses over last year. A board
statement explained "since the
amount in the school fund avail
able for normal school purposes is
less than one years operating cost
under the present budget, and since
the estimated income per year is
less than current operating costs
per year, the board is compelled to
limit the school budget for the next
biennium to the present cost basis,
