Three Senators Urge
Victory Event in D. C.,
Return Of Historic F|aq

Three members of the Senate had
joined today in resolution calling
for a great Victory Day celebration
in Washington, at date to be set.
The day would be made the oc-
casion for the return of the Amer
lean flag which has flown over the
captured capitals OF Rome Berlin
and Tokyo. The resolution-Spon-
sored by Senators Hill, Democrat
of Alabama; Brewster. Republican
of Maine, and Gordon, Republican
Of Oregon-provides for inviting the
President to bring the flag to the
Capitol
The resolution is in keeping with
the suggestion of The Star for prep
aration of plans for great victory
celebration centering in Washing
ton at future date when repre-
sentative units of the victorious
armed forces could return here for
parade and other ceremonies
This has brought general indorse-
ments from many members of Con-
gress.
The resolution calls for appoint
ment OF nine-man flag commission
to preserve the world-traveled en-
blem and other historical symbols
of the war
The proponents commented that
the flag, known as the flag of lib
Grafton" has followed the American
armies to victory all over the world

ence. When the formal surrender
of Japan took place aboard the
battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay
it few, from the masthead. And
last Saturday 1t was raised over
the American Embassy in Tokyo by
Supreme Commander Macarthur.
Referring to this flag as "exemp-
lifying tragic death and suffering
but also the life and victory of the
sons and daughters of America and
the service they have rendered
throughout the world" the resolu-
tion asked that the flag be displayed
permanently under the dome of the
Capitol building where it could be
viewed by future generations.
Maury Maverick, chairman of the
Smaller War Plants Corp, recalled
that long before Pearl Harbor, when
he felt that war was inevitable, he
had arranged to have this flag flown
over the Capitol. He said President
Roosevelt had approved the plan
to have it raised In conquered cap
itals as a symbol Of liberation.

Shortage of labor and equipment

Heating contractors, plumbers
and Oil and gas distributors report
ed their Offices are being flooded
with calls for oil heaters and gas
furnaces.
The rush started after Govern

heating equipment or installing new
equipment were removed last month.
Officiating equipment is in pro-
duction and units are on the mar
ket, the survey showed, but so far
as could be learned no gas fur
naces are available in Washington,

two men about half a day.
But whether all those wanting
new equipment will receive it in

What coal users want to- avoid
Is the prospect of getting only so
per cent of their normal require

types of bituminous.
There is chance, however, this
limitation will be relaxed a Solid

AS for reconversion to oil heat, one
dealer estimated practically every
one owning oil heating equipment
who converted to coal during the
war will be able to change over by
late fall.
Many persons, dealers reported,
have asked them to remove coal from
cellars at the time they asked to
have furnaces reconverted In such
cases, dealers said, the residents are
urged to retain the coal and burn 4.

sion operation takes so short time.
Rather than have coal removed

holders are being advised to sell the
coal to neighbors who may have
need of it. Removal by dealers will
cost about S6 ton, dealers said.
