 One unidentified correspondent suggested that of a 18th state is admitted. the stars be arranged 10 'hape an eagle with outspread wings
 Another proposed that 49 stars be arranged in the shape of sim gle large star It was not disclosed whether a Texan thought this one up.
 Pupils of school No. 14 Beaver Creek, Montana. recommended that the space at the bottom of the field of stars simply be widened to give room for another row. The star of the 49th state would be llaced in the left end of the new TOW. leaving plenty of room for other new states.
 Despite all this volunteer help, the Department said nothing is likely to be done about redesigning the flag until after one Territory is admitted as a state

Pan Am
 To China
 Via Adak

SEATTLE - Planning a series of flights out of Seattle over Che Great Circle Route to Shanghai via Adak and Tokyo, Pan Ameri- can World Airways this week an nounced inauguration of weekly charter trips across the Pacific for the United Nationa Relief and Re mobilization Administration.
 "The initial charter flight. on March 24, followed the long dog leg route from San Francisco via Honolulu and Midway Island in order to survey the shorter Great Circle Route via Tokyo and Adak to Seattle on the return flight" l.. c. Reynolds. manager for the air lines Pacific-Alaska division. said. 'The region between Tokyo and Adak has never heretofore been flown by commercial aircraft"
 Succeeding NARA charter charter flights are scheduled vest bound out of Seattle over the dir ect Great Circle Route, which will provide a saving of 290O miles on each round trip. Reynolds said
 Modern, 300-mile per hour Con. stellation Clippers will be utilized. equipped with pressurized cabins. tc operate at 10000 feet.
 Pan Americans efforts to estab- fish commercial air service oyer the direct Great Circle Route dates back 15 years The Lindbergh flight to Japan and China via AL aska, in that year, was sponsored by Pan American In 1882 the company organized scheduled air transport service in Alaska which was extended to Seattle before the war.
 The airline's scheduled air serv- ices between Seattle and Alaska al ready cover half the Great Circle Route to Tokyo, therefore flights will be conducted for the most pat over familiar territory
 Reynolds also pointed out that Pan American, before the war had been unable to extend service be- yond Alaska to Tokyo and Shanz- hai, owing to Japan's refusal 10 grant operating rights in Japanese territory As a result, the airline waa compelled to inaugurate trans Pacific service before the war via the long Honolulu, Midway and Wake Island route. Only over this dog leg" route was it then possi- ble to provide American-flag serv- ipa fO fba OriaDf
 Pan American recently ordered fleet of 20 giant doubledeck, Boe- ing stratoeruisers, five of which are earmarked for the proposed Great Circle service to the Orient. These giant Clippers, which will be the largest and fastest commer- cial aircraft in the world, will cost $7,500.000 With a S4O-mile an hour cruising speed, they will op- crate at 25,OO0 feet-wen aboYe bad weather often encountered at 1 lower attitudes in the Arctic. Tran sit time between Tokyo and Seattle would be 15 hours Transit time between Seattle and Shanghai in- eluding the Tokyo stop, will be less than a day.
