Fad Fails to Die.
AS many as 400 flags were sold
in one day at Griffith Stadium
last fall. But unlike other fads,
this one hasn't died out during
the summer. Instead, it has
grown
When Gen. Macarthur came to
town last spring, and the feeling
against President Truman ran
high, vendors practically sold out
their stocks of the Dixie banner
Most are sold to younger people
college age and below, vendors
say.
Harry Corbman, who has sold
novelties for six years at Griffith
Stadium, says he and other
vendors sold hundreds of flags to
children this summer. New Eng
land kids are better customers
than those from the South, he
says.
Opposing Groups Agree.
In close harmony on the SUBJ
ject are the Daughters of Union
Veterans of the Civil War and the
United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy. They agree the practice is
"a poor showing. An officer of the
Union organization said they
don't appreciate the flag-waving
especially because the American
flag isn't flown along with it."
Miss Liza Ellen Carpenter. a
national officer of the Confederate
group. said the question has come
up at meetings before.

and casual use of the flag" she
said. 1--WE frown on it being used

Or. Shepard Offers Resignation
AS District Recorder of Deeds
Clergyman Running
For Similar Office
In PhiIudeIphiu

DR.. Marshall L. Shepard, whose
appointment seven years ago as
District recorder of deeds created
a political storm in the Senate,
has submitted his resignation to
President Truman. He will leave
his post September S.
In his letter to the President
the 59-year-old colored recorder
said he wanted to feel free to
campaign fully in Philadelphia"
for the job of recorder of deeds
in that city, a spokesman in his
Office said.
DR.. Shepard already has &C
cepted the Democratic nomina-
ton for that Office in Philadel-
phia, where he has been a clergy
man for IS years.
Before nomination by President
Roosevelt. he had been an active
campaigner in the elections of
1882. 1886 and 1910, serving as
chief of the Speakers Bureau,
colored division. of the Democratic
National Committee.
When the Senate District Com
Imittee. in a straight party vote
Iof 9 to 4, approved his appoint
Iment in September, 1914, Senate
Republicans objected strenuously
They said the job of Recorder of
Deeds. traditionally the highest
political post for a colored person
here. always had gone to District
man. They accused the President
Iof looking toward the colored vote
in other areas of the country, in
making the nomination.
DR.. Shepard was the center of
another storm in 1886, when the
late Senator Ellison D. Cotton
Ed Smith of South Carolina,
walked off the floor while the
clergyman was delivering the in
vocation at the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. Officials said
lit was the first time q Negro ever
had offered a prayer in Demo-
