Drought Will Force
Sale Of 100000 Head
OF Cattle in Virginia
By the As.eeio,ed Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 26.-
About 100000 head of Virginia
cattle will move to the market
in the next go days because of
the drought. Commissioner of
Agriculture Parke c. Brinkley
said yesterday.
Mr.. Brinkley said short pas
lures and shrinking prospects for
winter hay had forced farmers
to unload a number of cattle
that they ordinarily would have
carried through the winter and
sold next spring or fall.
Farmers have waited as long
as they could for a break in the
drought" Mr.. Brinkley said, "but
now they figure that they can
not afford to carry this beef
through the winter"
"The situation is serious" Mr..
Brinkley said, land our whole
food and agricultural industry
must do something to relieve the
situation"
AS a tip to housewives. Mr..
Brinkley said the budget cuts of
beef would be selling at low
prices during the heavy market
ing period.
In the Richmond area, one
of the dryest in the State. some
cattlemen are grazing herds in
corn fields and on hay lots.

Rains Revive Crops
In Most of MARYLAND

Recent rains helped Maryland
crops make good progress last
week, the States crop reporters
said today.
A lack of sufficient moisture
still was noted across the north

Of declining prices. He said he still

farmers realize that the three-year
decline Of prices can have the good
effect of driving what he called

| found myself at a loss, how
ever, to explain one important part
of the criticism being made Of the
national administration. Many
voters want to know why Admins
tration leaders complain of their
inability to balance the federal
budget and stop going into debt
and at the same time keep up a
large and expensive foreign eco
monte aid program.
They want to know why we just
don't say, in as neighborly a way
as possible, that we can't afford
any more foreign aid for the time
being. People point out to me that
if their annual income is $4,000,
and their minimum expense for
family support is $4,000, they can't
very well lend a close relative
$4,000 no matter how dire his need
might be. This is one issue in which
voters are complaining that the Adj
ignores the mandate
of the 1852 elections.

Patriotism Follows the FIoq
The Spirit of Nation and Morale of Its Fighting Men
Are ReIoted to Devotion Shown d NotionoI Symbol
Dovid Lowrence:

All the world and a goodly
section, of the American press
recognized in the British cor
onation ceremony this week a
deep-seated, patriotic devotion
on the part Of the British peo-
pie to their ancient tradition.
No voices were raised here to
disparage the celebration as a
piece Of "chauvinism" or excess
sive pride in the symbols of a
nation.
Yet this week, when the
Senate passed and sent to the
House for action a bill which
would forbid the display Of the
United Nations nag in a posi-
ton superior or equal to the
flag of the United States, one
important newspaper called it
a piece of chauviniSm" and
wondered whether the dignity
and honor of the American flag
came from such manifestations
or from the valor of men who
carried that nag on the field Of
battle. .,
This is a misconception
which seems to have become
widespread in certain circles in
recent years in America-that
1t Is somehow overly patriotic
to show reverence for. the
American flag and that the
United Nations is some kind
of a superstate to which the
American people and, indeed,
their troops must pay an ale
glance higher than that given
to the United States itself.
It crops out in many ways.
Lately some American employees
of the U. NJ, with the support
of some legal opinions by U. N.
doctrinaires. have taken the
position that once these en-
ployes become a part Of the
U.N., they are no longer re-
sponsible to any national juris-
diction as citizens.
There seems to have grown
up an idea, too, that the United
Nations is a world government
instead Of q union of sovereign
governments. In the Senate a
proposal by Senator Bricker to
amend the Constitution has
