2 additional stripes were added To
the flag To represent Vermont and
Kentucky. which had beer. admitted
to the Union, and the War of 1912
was fought under this banner. 1t
was this flag of 10 stars and 10
stripes, flying over Fort Me-. 7, on
September ID. 1914, which inspired
Francis Scot Key to write the Star.
Spangled Banner, or national an.
them.
In order to prevent essential al.
tering of the flag design, the Con
gress in 1918 adopted a resolution
providing that after July A, 1918,
the stripes should be thirteen In
number and the blue field should
carry one star for each state then
in the Union and that new star be
added for each state thereafter ad.
mitted To the Union. That arrange
ment is still in effect today
II was only go years ago that the
anniversary of the adoption of the
flag was first observed by a princi.
pal OF kind garten In New York
City.
Since then, popular observances
OF this significant anniversary has
gathered support throughout the ma.

OF our most important unofficial
holidays. In the words of Woodrow

the emblem Of our unity, our power,

 When the law gives the mili- tary the right to grab you off the street, that's going too far. The army already has a good organ ization here. Why should we set up two armies in Alaska? If any disorder warrants military action, the army and navy could step in"
 The bill was held over until 200 p.m., today on motion of Rep. Glen D. Franklin, Democrat.
 Rep. Warren A. Taylor, Demo- crat, introduced a bill to raise the school tax from S5 per person to $10.5O, with A per cent of the funds going for salaries of uni versailles in Alaska nd 56 per cent to public school salaries. It previ- ously passed the House in the spe- cial session.

 The House also passed, l6 to 8, Angerman's bill to prevent stand ing in highway buses and to re- quire two doors, after the stiffest provisions had been cut from the bill.
 AS finally passed, the bill says bus passengers don't have to be seated on trips within Is miles of a city center. Franklin moved for the amendment today to replace the 10-mile amendment of yester- day, arguing Juneau had a local bus running IA miles out.
 Angerman objected vigorously to stretching the exemption. The bill also exempts buses now in Alaska from the emergency door provision.

The greatest tribute we can pay to these men and dogs js to say that that which others re- gard as heroism, they themselves will always regard as merely a part of the days work, about which too much fuss has already been made.

JUNEAU (P)-A proviso forbid ding the use of guard m n against any labor organization or for strike-breaking in Alaska" was tentatively added yesterday to House bill creating an Alaska National Guard.
 After long discussion, the House decided to hold over action until late today to give It. Col. Joseph Alexander of the National Guard the opportunity to answer ques- tions.
 The amendment was introduced by Rep. Frank Angerman, Demo- crat, who made several attacks against provisions which would allow guardsmen authority over civilians.
 He moved for indefinite post ponement when the bill first reached the floor, but withdrew the motion in the face of strong criticism.
 Reps. Stanley McCutcheon and Alfred A. Owen Jr., Democrats, introduced a memorial urging Congress to require the Alaska Canned Salmon Industry to en- oloy 50 per cent of resident fish ermen next season and increase it by 10 per cent annually until 100 per cent is achieved in 1854 and thereafter. The memorial said many resident fishermen had been notified their services would not be needed this year.
 By a final vote of 14-9 the House passed the attorney. gener- al's special appropriation bill ear Tier in the day.
 In debate on the national guard pill, Angerman also tried to get the House to strike section all lowing the guard commander to order action against any group of l2 men armed with clubs or wea- pons, or 30 unarmed persons. It

 Rivers argued it was a legiti- mate levy against traps which he contended caught at low cost half the Territory's nearly $100, ,000, ,000 pack in 1948.
 Several critics of the bill said they would have supported it if it only doubled the present tax, but they couldn't go for quadrupling it.
 Democrats voting for the bill were Sens. Anderson, Huntley, Mackenzie, McCutcheon, Peratro- vich, and Rivers. Republicans against it were Butrovich, Collins, Jones, Munz and Nerland.
 A wide array of figures were presented during debate and testi- mony, and Lyng once accused Riv- CTS of Juggling figures"

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf. CP-- A former shipyard worker and prospector was jailed today as a bomb wrecked the palatial home of H. D. Hover, owner of Ciro's Restaurant, and rocked a wide Beverly Hills residential district. Hover and his houseboy was un- hurt.
 Police chief C. H. Anderson said the man was taken in GUS tody while lighting a fuse outside the home of Dr. F. w. Infield of the state industrial accident com mission.
 Although Hover said he knew of no reason for the bombing which wrecked his home, he is brotherin-laW of Dr. David Vel Ter, also an accident commission physician. pr. Weller spends con- siderable time at the house.

 The vote was 20 to 3.
 The other major bill adopted by the House provides three-year staggered terms for city council men, gives cities the right to elect mayors for one, two or three-yeor terms and changes elections from April to October, a week before the general election.
 Both bills go to the Senate.
 Earlier, the House passed bill by Rep. Frank Angerman, Demo- crat, requiring employers to pay return Costs for any laborer who is transported into the Territory or within the Territory for 2 job. The vote was l8-6.
 The Senate-adopted fishtrap bill was the first major controver- sial taxation measure to pass both Houses in regular session. 1t brought charges that the rates were so high the courts might hold it invalid as confiscatory and re- buttal that the industry could well afford to pay.
 Finance committee chairman, Sen. John c. Butrovich, Jr., es- timated it would raise $5,00O,000 for the biennium, which he said would exceed the general property tax take.
 Democratic leader Sen. Victor C. Rivers estimated, on the other hand, tn etake would be S2,500,- 900. He said Butrovich failed to consider marginal traps, which would be discontinued.
 The bill raises the single trap tax to $500, with a graduated scale of S2,000 for each trap over 50 owned by single firm. It also carries special levy for each sal mon above 15,000 caught in sin gle trap, running up to 25 cents for each above 100000. A A report prepared by the Ter ritorial veterans board, recom- mended that the legislature be asked to provide an additional $2,000,000 or the veterans revolv- ing fund to carry out provisions of Alaska's World War II veterans act.
 Figures showed $500 veterans have received either bonuses or loans under the act, but it was es- timated another 2,8O0 were quali- fled for bonuses or loans if they made the request.
 The House passed unanimously a bill to appropriate Sl 300 for the attorney generals office, includ- ing $500 bonus for his work as legislative counsel. The bill orig inally provided $l,000 bonus.
