Few Flags Mark
Day in E. T..

Judging by the display of flags
in the downtown district, Flag Day
was not much of Flag Day in
E] Centre Wednesday but other
Imperial Valley towns did we'll
with their displays, a survey re-
vealed.
Flags practically were an un-
known quantity in the downtown
district in Ell Centre Wednesday
morning. BY noon, by actual count,
there were l3 standing in the curb
stone holders lining Main street
from the railroad tracks to Impe-
rial avenue. Flags were displayed
as usual, however, on public build
ingS.
There was slight scarcity of
flags in Holtville during the morn
ing hours before the chamber of
commerce began to telephone mer-
chants to get out their flags. They
responded nobly and the town soon
had many flags waving in the wind
Brawley didn't seem to have
much delay with the display. and
the city early was stimulating
sight with its many flags.

Court Ruling
Puts Okeh
On Citizenship

LOS ANGELES, June Ia.
(UP)-Federal Judge Peir-
son M. Hall today held that
pre-war membership in the German
American bund is not grounds for
cancellation of citizenship.
Judge Hall ruled 81 former MEM
bers of the bund were within their
legal rights in joining the organiza-
ton, and dismissed a government
suit to cancel their citizenship.
The case had been under advise
ment nearly year. Ruling was
withheld on FREQ erich Carl Mems
ing, an admitted member of the
Nazi PARTY.
Government attorneys had mani
tanned that membership in the bund
was prima facie grounds for revoca-
ton of American citizenship.
Hall criticized the government for
requiring the defend ants to stand
"a possible destruction of reputa-
ton which can come from mere
accusation of fraud.
The defendants, Hall said, had
been taught that the first amend
ment gave them rights which they
had exercised.
Now the government cannot pen
alize them for exercising these
rights"
